Update Speculation thread

Yeah i noticed that the semi and bus never get any love. people forget about them like 1/2 the props in the game.

 

5 beamng cars that most need remaster:

Gavril T series

Wentward DT40L

All 3 ETK cars

Moonhawk

Gavril Barstow, Bluebuck and burnside (sorry for including more than 5 just they all need them)

 

I'd say those are less in a need to remaster than the Sunburst and 200BX.

 

Big bois need them so bad because it doesn't updated since somewhere 2018 or later

 

Ay, I mean Lotus not Lexus. I don't know why I write Lexus there, probably I was tired.

 

If devs will remaster every car that is only a few years old, they would get stuck in infinite cycle of remasters

 

OT: Merry Christmas to everyone, that celebrates Christmas! Have a nice Evening with your family

 

My list of cars that need remaster in order of most in need to least in need
1. the modern ETKs
2. Moonhawk
3. Bus
4. T series
5. Sunburst
6. 200bx
7. “Old” pessima

 

I know this isn't really speculation, but my "personnal top 10 cars that need a remaster the most list" would be :

1. Hirochi Sunburst
2. ETK 800 and K series
3. Ibishu Covet/Pessima mk1
4. Ibishu 200BX
5. Wentward
6. Gavril T-series
7. Hirochi SBR
8. Moonhawk
9. Gavril Barstow
10. Burnside Special

This is really personnal, and I know that some others cars (Miramar I think about you) are more in need for a remaster, but it's just that, I don't play these cars too much compared with the ones from that list !

Anyways, merry christmas everyone !

 

You too. Merry Christmas everyone!

 

That's exactly what i was thinking of, ETK doesn't have V8s but BMW and Mercedes-Benz did use them in the 2010s, so they wouldn't be out of place in both ETKs

 

I think it's more down to the fact that the devs have added a plethora of new features that make the older cars feel antiquated, before cars got loads of new features that made them look nicer all the cars felt consistent in quality while now they no longer do.

My top 10 would be

1. Bus
2. T-Series
3. Moonhawk
4. Burnside Special
5. Barstow
6. ETK i-Series
7. ETK K-Series
8. Sunburst
9. ETK 800 Series
10. 200BX

 

My non-requested top 5, because listing 10 it's unnecesary for the time it'd take between each update:
1. Bruckell Moonhawk
2. T-Series
3. Ibishu Miramar
4. Ibishu Covet
5. ETK-K Series (but it's true that the whole ETK Series need a relook)

Also, the Ibishu Pessima looks basically the same as before and lacks an AWD.

 

For now, I think 1 thing at a time is plenty for remasters... when the devs take their time is when we get properly tested content. I expect to see the moonhawk done first, as it's 1: possibly the most requested for a remaster and 2: is in dire need of content and texture/model remasters.

What I also expect to see is PBR for the rest of the maps. This appears to be quite time consuming, seeing how many textures there are. ECUSA is the last major map on the list, and we'll probably see that in some hotfix or the next update.
Edit: Mostly likely PBR for Italy aswell, thank you @The Shotty for pointing that out

Now for some less speculative stuff, since I've been speaking off community requested things:
I wonder if they will add more thermals... not just tire temps, but diff/transmission fluid temps aswell. It seems they're quite capable of it, seeing how indepth the current engine thermal simulation is. And it doesn't seem like too deep of a rabbithole for the devs to fall into, unlike a firetruck or some other oddball thing. I think the list of mechanical parts would be something like transmissons, diffs, and transfercases(?). Actually that seems like alot, but I dunno.

 

I'll just admit I'm a bit bummed out that they didn't add wagon versions for both pessimas (yet) although I really hope they do eventually.

 

I hope they will add wagon in Moonhawk remaster. I remember one very old mod by AR162B. There's very many configs. Sedans, wagons and even ute. Sadly we can't install this anymore....

Pic of mod


Edit: it even not available on some very shitty ru sites that Putin made

 

Fun fact the Lotus Elise has a K-Series engine

 

honestly just bringing those configs up to date and making them official would be a good enough remaster for me

 

I know. + they have different fascias cuz by AR162B

 

Alright I want to speculate too.

I think PBR ground textures will be added along the way to the next major update and 0.25 will bring PBR to static objects and foliage as well as motion blur and SSR. Vulcan will be more stable so future works on VR support will be possible, fps increase will mean more cars loaded at the same time = races, so racing AI or race modes possibly added in .25 or .26

I bet tire wear will be added in .25

Also, in UI editor when you select which game mode you are setting the ui apps for, there's quite a few modes that are not available yet so MAYBE procedural rally stages similar to what Dirt 4 had. That would make BeamNG the best rally sim and more genres to beat each time a main feature gets added like racing AI, Drift tandems etc.
