Update Speculation thread

Could be about the controller thou.

 

If it is, BeamNG could likely support X-Box 1 and PS4 controllers by the 8.1.0 update.

 

Well if that's the case, I feel lucky. I just ordered Xbox One S-controller recently, it's that Version 2.0 with Bluetooth.

 

What do you mean by that? I dunno about xbox 1 controllers as i have never used one but the ps4 controller is already supported. When i used it worked flawlessly for me.

 

X1 controllers are supported, I use one.

 

As for speculating the 2017 updates as a hole, I would bring up some keywords: tires, AI, saving and sounds.
Tires- wear and thermal properties, pretty sure we will get those this year.
Sounds- very important, are being worked on aswell.
Saving- ability to save your progress and the state of your vehicle are the base that a career mode will be implemented on. Hoping to see a "savestate" kind of saving soon
And last but definetly not least, AI- it really is the time to get the AI good. It's needed for scenario and campaign development and also for fun. If I could choose what to get next, I would love some good artificial intelligence to race against.

Oddly I find Beam graphics completely fine, it has it's own style, but I like it. I'm sure development will continue on graphics aswell anyway.

 

I agree on these. Also, some little tweaks here and there, also about the grip/weight ratio, which I personally find sometimes too slippery.

As for graphics, it only lacks some little details and some effect layers on top of them, other than that they're good.

 

It sort of supports it doesn't it? As I use an Xbox one controller to play BeamNG.

 

it does indeed my ps4 controller works too without using software

 

Good news!

 

My Crew be commin

 

Now we just need a long box and then most options are complete.

 

I can now confirm, that Xbox One controller works in the game perfectly, I received today one, the S-model version with build in Bluetooth. Hooked up that to PC with Asus-BT400 USB dongle, and it's ''plug & play''. PC recognized both, the dongle and the controller immediately and Beam mapped it automatically to work straight away. So, if they're doing something for the controller side, I think, that they're building better options menu for them with more adjustments becoming available.

 

does it have a shorter bed or a longer frame?

 

But that's not the Dacia sandero?

Neat! Now modder(s) will be pissed that their wip crew cab mods is no longer needed.

 

Plus we already have mods for it that are of a good quality I think.

Gabe will skins be supported?

 

the current bed is a 6ft right? the ext cab is 2ft longer than the reg cab right? an 8ft bed is pretty common. if the bed becomes 9ft, there are trucks out there that had 9ft beds. just hoping here. we also can have a single cab on the ext frame already

 

Skins may possibly be supported with the Crew Cab, because it may be similar to the Extended Cab, except that it's longer. (That's what she said.)
