Update Speculation thread

I'm hoping for a December update, but they're probably just going to update on January.

Too much content tease, not a lot of feature tease (other than ignition system changes) So I think it's going to be a heavily content focused update and the features mentioned by TDEV are going to the pipeline again for some more work

 

California boii

 

Don't forget about the new ABS!!
But I still believe the 0.27 is gonna drop in December because we've already said that it's like a gift to all of us, the loyal fans and players!
But one thing is for sure: not all of the teased content is gonna make it into the 0.27. That seems kinda impossible. But again, the BeamNG Dev Team is well known for the way they unfold surprises in front of us!

 

I mean,

I hope tire thermals happen but mostly aero improvements

 

I love all the new maps and cars, etc. But I'm always scrolling straight down to see what new stuff they've added to the world editor, or the AI.

As always, looking forward to it when it gets here.

 

Is the dinosaur the mascot of the gas station just because it's a small reference to "DinoСo" from the cartoon "Cars"?

 

In what way is that a reference? Both mascots are dinosaurs, that's all.

Also, Cars isn't a cartoon... more like cartoon, amiright?

 

yeah

 

Likely the Tyrannosaurus branding of the fuel station hints the probable location of the map - these dinosaurs spread from Canada to Mexico, so once we take the environment (the dry vegetation, rocks) then I guess that it could potentially be in the southern states, such as Texas, New Mexico or even Mexico. Another question I have got now - why are they fixated on the fuel station somewhat? Maybe it is not a new map, but an expansion of the old one? Could it be a new map hinting at the Dry Rock Island, in which you spawned always in the fuel station.

 

Small island is an island off of the coast of Cali…

 

Yeah, ABS rework is good too.

But there was a lot hinted at by tdev that got delayed for post 0.26, Tire Thermals being the main question.

Mud/Scratches in early phase was another one.

Aerodynamics rework is the one that hurt the most as Tdev never awnsered my question, just said they'll look at it.

I'm thinking the whole lot of content is to kind of supress the lack of feature for an update (which would be a first in BeamNG if we got a full offraod focused update with like 3-4 vehicles, would be most likely the biggest update of the game)

 

What is DRI

 

Dry rock island, an old map jungle rock island replaced a few years back

 

OH, I remember playing on that map. Thanks

 

Seriously, yet another American desert map? Damn it, try harder, we already have at least two of them and that's before dozens of high-quality mods. We still have nothing in Japan, the Middle East/North Africa, Eastern Europe, Alaska, the Swiss Alps, Australia, I can go on but how many times can we rehash the same setting before the devs get bored? Or does this map have some kind of gimmick that hasn't been shown yet, or is it an expansion/remaster of an existing map? Otherwise I can't think of any reason not to can it and make literally anything else, I mean come on, there's so many great options, some of which aren't even accounted for by mods, and we get... yet another American desert map.

 

If it's DRI remaster then it's fine imo

 

So... bigger Small Island? Maybe we're all stupid, that is Small Island and they're actually teasing refueling? Maybe the WCUSA island is being expanded?

 

Now that I think about it that is almost surely small island.
