Update Speculation thread

ndom steam bug

 

Didn't the author of Shutoko Revival Project for Assetto Corsa find a work around for the shaking?

This isn't so much update speculation as mod speculation, but I speculate that someone will cram a Soliad V8 into the Covet

 

The Soliad 4.4 is great by any means but why not put the Gavril 6.9? It would make one hell of a Drag project, especially if the engine is mounted at the back!
The Soliad 4.4 would make a great street-tuning project though!

 

personally i'm hoping we can get an awd version of the mr turbo so there could maybe be a metro 6r4-esque thing

 

Yep, that's exactly what I'm hoping for because we already have a 2WD Rally Car from that era (and it's the Bolide Group 4).

 

The 4.4 is smaller and lighter though, it's barely bigger than the 2.0 from the Covet GTz. The Covet would be too light to put the 6.9's power into the ground anyway - said NA 2.0 is already pushing it without wider tires

Oh, you meant a drag project. That makes more sense, nvm. I was definitely thinking more along the lines of street and track performance

I do hope we get a V6 and optional full-time 4WD though, called something like M4.6, and diesel engines for the Euro-spec FWD Covet

 

Not him, but the author of the Custom Shaders Patch fixed it, the original author of SRP has moved on to doing other things.

 

I just thought of something else that makes the Soliad 4.4 a better choice for a Covet swap: it's transversely mounted in the Wendover, so it can fit more easily in the back of the Covet. Plus, it's smaller and lighter than the Gavril 6.9 and, being an OHC unit, it can make equally giant amounts of power and torque to the Gavril 6.9 when given the right parts. So yes, your choice of engine makes more sense for street and track performance.

Yep, drag use makes more sense with the Gavril 6.9! Hehe!

Also, yeah, I hope for a V6 AWD powertrain too because there's the niche of the Mid-Engined AWD Group B car needed to be filled!
Also, a small Diesel engine makes great sense for a Supemini - passenger Diesels started being popular in the early 80s, so the production years of the Covet are right on.
Plus, the niche of the old passenger Diesel has a lot of unexplored territory in the game (ETK, Ibishu, Bruckell and even Autobello - provided it gets a car made in the 80s or newer - can have many of these, with Bruckell starting from the late 70s)!

 

All of this conversation made me realize I don't know anything about the Soliad V8... I love the config but never took a good look at the engine, I don't even know what it looks like...

 

Do you guys speculate that better anti aliasing (MSAA or TAA) might be coming next update? Not sure if it's something potentially limited by the game engine, or if 32 bit deprecation will get us any closer to it.

 

Good luck fitting a v6 in something as small the Covet, there's a reason why VW developed the VR6 and VR5 engines

 

To me it seems like a a polite way of saying "Simmer down, the update won't be ready for a while"

 

Well the VR engines were for normal cars, while a potential V6 engine would be for a completely custom group b variant, that doesn't have rear seats

 

Not true. The said Honda Civic has the 3.2 V6 from the NSX. That means that each 3-cylinder bank displaces 1.6 liters (roughly the size of all Inline-4 engines of the Civics over the years, ranging from 1.3 to 2 liters).
The Ibishu V6 displaces 2.7 liters, so 1.35l per each bank. So it can fit in the back of the Covet as well.
Plus the 2.7 V6 is still narrower than a VR6, so, if it gets put in its existing transverse configuration, it frees up a little bit more space for the gearbox.

 

I would love to see a V6 Covet! I can imagine a custom configuration with it. And well...about the MR Turbo, no one said that it has an inline 4 engine, as far as I remember. It can be a wild turbocharged V6!

 

considering the rate teasers have been i think there might be one tomorrow

 

my man here totally forgot the existence of Clio v6 and MG 6R4. Both small cars with big hearts

with that info, it's pretty hard to scrap outta my mind the possibility of having a v6 Covet as a rally variation or something

 

The lack of teasers could simply mean that the content for the update is almost finished. Idk because we usually get updates much earlier.
