Update Speculation thread

exactly

 

The fact that they haven't cleared it up yet most likely means it is official content coming soon. If it was a mod they would have said so a long time ago so we stop talking about it. The devs really seem to dislike promising future content so they just maintain silence whenever possible. Their silence on this proves their intentions.

Guys, how do u know the update or future contents of Beamng drive?
Me, i don't know nothing.

 

I am pretty dumb, because that image is a few months old now, and more progress would have been made. It could have a different fascia, but we don't know about this yet.

 

Yeah I'm so out of the loop, I never did end up seeing that image until today.

 

That is not quite fully correct. Take a look at this picture of the 800-series and the K-series with the unibody made invisible:



Bear in mind that while the 800 and the K-series have different wheelbases, they are platform-mates that share a suspension and most drivetrain components. Given that both were released as part of the 0.5 round of updates (The 800 in 0.5.2, and the K-series in 0.5.6) It can reasonably be argued that the development of both models overlapped, hence the reason for wagon parts to be differentiated from coupe parts.

 

Technically all full size SUVs are pickups, even those like the roamer. Chevy Suburban/Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, Ford Expedition, and even non-american SUVs like Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia and Land Cruiser are all based off of their pickup truck counterparts' chassis. The chassis are just modified to carry a passenger body. Only the european full sized SUVs actually have purpose built frames as far as I know.

 

I speculate we will know more about the Wendover in the next week or two

Sadlad best wedge

 

changing the subject ... Almost all the car manufacturers in Beamng have a well-defined history on their career, Gavril was in business until the early 2000s, Ibishu also, and so the other manufacturers ... You do not find that there is a strong gap, of at least two vehicles as far as the etk is concerned, since many years have passed between the I series and the 800 / K series? I expect more etk models in the next updates, you?

 

Yeah and also a more modern 4 door sedan, like in the same range of years as the 800 and k series

 

I don't thing Gavril went out of business in the 2000s as there is still a Gavril dealer in business. Still there is no sign of a modern Gavril yet. I'm hopeful for a modern Gavril and Bruckell.


Obviously the devs focus should be on filling important Niches like a Modern euro truck and van.




I just realized there is no official vehicle with Torsion bar suspension.

 

The LeGran has a torsion-beam in the rear.

 

I should have mentioned Torsion bar front suspension, Plus the Le Gran has beam Axle rear suspension with a panhard rod.

 

Torsion bars are used on the front and back of Piccolina, and the LeGran has a torsion-beam aka twist-beam aka torsion-bar suspension. A torsion-beam uses a flexible unpowered rod connecting the two wheels. A beam axle is another name for a solid live axle, used on cars like the D-Series, Barstow, Moonhawk, and all the other American vehicles.

 

Oh I forgot about the Autobello. huh. I was mostly referring to the layouts of the 60's and 70's Mopars (The Dodge coronet exists I suppose).

 

piccolina?

 

Or really more modern cars in general - all the American cars are older than the Roamer, at like 17 years old... at least the Europeans and Japanese get a new car
