Update Speculation thread

It's always like this - its mostly little stuff though this time - I've been through updates with much bigger issues myself - and I've been playing since 0.7. No game-breaking stuff this time around for the most part, just the little details that aren't going to be generally tested for.

 

The known issues that player's aren't likely to run into and aren't trying to give anyone any ideas?

 

I speculate that an ETK update will come out with 0.27. Maybe radial blur, too.

 

What about the tire thermal situations? This is in the tireData file inside the game already, but the devs are silent about this feature that's supposed to be in 0.26, but got delayed and never justified

 

Since they´ve shown of the ETK Coupe Bodykit a long time ago and the fact we didn´t receive another hotfix yet even when there is more stuff to fix my bet is that we will see some more content in the hotfixes.
Maybe only small time stuff they didnt get ready before the update launch but still.

 

Grab the torches and pitchforks!

 

yeah just like we had the ignition settings added

 

I've noticed that the rear light of the ETK have been reworked and we got a teaser for a body kit some times ago

 

TBH interiors overall are just too dark. The Bastion's gauges are nearly impossible to read

 

Tell me about it.
You can´t even see anything inside the Hopper for example.
They do really need to adress lightning further.

 

Yeah it is really bad and just can´t be denied or turned down at this point.
I is in desperate need of work.

 

I wonder when we’ll get another ETK teaser.

 

So... what do we have that we can somewhat confirm for 0.27?

I know tire thermals are basically going to be, as they are already late.
Maybe some mud/scrathes as they said in some sort of early phase?
I know a new map is in development as well as they kinda mentioned it
ETK remaster? Or just new more race like variants?
What else can we expect?

One thing I noticed is that they haven't made the Digital Dash available for the Covet, and it would be a nice thing to have for it, spacially in some better tuned race variants or something like that. (the devs said they were making it available for more cars in the future)

I'm still hopeful for some sort of aerodinamycs rework, underbody downforce is basically non existing in BeamNG (it exists but is hard to have the same effect as real life), the general aerodinamycs system is lacking in some form, as it doesn't take many things into account, like the radiator doesn't hae better cooling by removing the whole bumper, cant hang on slipstream of the other vehicles and so on, I think that other than the lack of tire thermals, this lack of aero complexity is what's lacking in BeamNG
