    The FCV is a regular FWD based platform, you can't decouple the front there...

    Shame. I wrote this thinking of some FWD and FWD-based cars in BeamNG which have a RWD Transfer Case as an option in the Parts Selector (like the Sunburst, the '88 Pessima, the LeGran and the Wendover) but I kinda forgot about this particular Transfer Case not being AWD at the same time and not being able to decouple one of the axles. But you're right, this is not how the Clutchex AWD was designed. We learn as we live! :-D

    Also, about the 5-cylinder, please bring the DCT and exhaust backfires back. All other gas FCV engines have them (either in tuned/race state or not) but the 5-cylinder doesn't and it's just unfair! :-D

    Derby has PBR as well.
    Keep in mind that only the terrain is PBR as of now, that's why they started with maps like Utah were the majority of stuff is terrain.
    All the objects, buildings, vegetation, even the grass on the ground is still using the old system, so there is a lot more work to be put in.

    Didn't Italy take them two years to make? The Italy release was about two years ago, so depending on how much resources PBR takes we may get a new map with the next update.

    My guess would be on a German map, considering how much interest the community shows for it.
    The headquarters are in Germany as well, but I wouldn't take too much into that considering how many American cars we have compared to German cars.
    But in Germany it could be anything between the Alps and Bremen.

    Anyone know what the post in dev media means? Also, since I’m in the mood for some speculation, any guesses or hopes as to the content of 0.25? These don’t have to be realistic or have evidence, we can make more educated guesses as we get closer to the update and have more info.

    The further advances in ESC/TC and in the differentials have a chance to be included in the 0.25 because there's a certain car (the Hirochi Sunburst) which wasn't included in the previous ESC/TC and diff updates - starting from the 0.19 - and it certainly needs the latest advances in these systems.
    I'm also gonna make a speculation for the more distant future: the ETK 800 will be getting an 'Off Road' mode because the Electronically Locking Differentials make for a good reason for this mode to take advantage of them (especially when combined with a locking Transfer Case). So don't exclude an 'All-Terrain' variant for the 800.

    I think it's a tool Diamondback made to better test and debug the simulated vehicle systems. It's rather commendable that they chose to spend their vacation time working on something that would allow them to do their job better.

    Could be, considering what Diamondback was testing had an I6.

    I didn't say that strictly because the test car has an Inline-6, I think it was a coincidence and an interesting one for that matter. I believe a car like this, an All-Terrain Wagon, can certainly take advantage of the Wagon body, the diesel engines and the advances in the ESC/TC and AWD systems! :cool:

    who knows, maybe if you speculate a bit, and bring forward some evidence for or against, we might be able to take an educated guess.

    The only evidence of upcoming stuff we have so far are the unused police, race, offroad, drag and rally parts, and also the Bastion engines being set up to be used in another car in the future

    The Sunburst was left out deliberately, it's a much older car than the other modern ones, so the super modern things don't quite make sense there.

    if the sunburst gets a remaster, it would be cool to have a 2022 version too :D

    It wouldn't really make too much sense, unless we're talking about new generation. Also, I think we have enough new cars.

    It will, sometime. We just have to be patient!
    But it certainly needs T-Top and Convertible bodies!

    True that, you're right.
