Update Speculation thread

I demand Dino bobblehead for all vehicle interiors!

 

Bobblehead!
Bobblehead!
Bobblehead!
*continues chant*

 

well to defend vmlinuz a little bit he is as we all are: A paying customer.
But apart from that he is not wrong either, It would have been nice to get a new map in a new setting/biome rather than having another sunny and dry map but i really like the map so far.
I just wanna defend the people of the opposition since we need all opinions not just the ones who just gratufully accept anything that gets released.
No offense.

 

Yeah, it would be great company for the bobblehead of the former president of Ibishu USA (for quoting a classic Top Gear Christmas meme)!

 

Yeah, I agree.

 

that would be really cool but there's no way that would happen

 

@Leeloo the most important request for the game right here, please make it happen.

 

Just noticed a couple of details in these latest gas station teasers. Keep in mind that we're talking about almost the same screenshot angle.
Firstly, the yellow circles: on the first teaser we see the pavements forming a single unit, stretching from one end to the other to form the basis for the gas pumps. On the second one, the pavements only extend a few feet beyond the pumps, leaving enough space in the middle for any vehicles of respectable size to change sides. That's a first for a BeamNG gas station as no other gas station in the game has this.
Secondly, the red circles: on the first teaser, the mountains seem to be farther away than on the second teaser.
These details, along with the different placement of the sun, make me believe that we saw two different places on the new map.

 

The rocks in the teaser are the old rocks

 

The first teaser is just concept art lol, things change once it actually goes in-game

 

I don't think it's an addition to an existing map either: it doesn't match WCUSA (wrong mountains, not coastal), Utah, or Derby Arenas (mountains/terrain don't match), and an addition to Small Island doesn't make sense as it's supposed to be a remote island without much infrastructure.

I'm sure we already know it's another US map, but the signs confirm it (afaik no other English country uses text-only no parking signs):

 

United we stand, baby!
Merica.
jokes aside i dont mind another US map it really fits my liking so far.

 

this is absolutely not the piccobuggy, note the lack of sticking up front shock towers and the curvy door bar,
however, it doesn't look like it's got a front engine, and it does appear to have a rear-side mounted radiator.
I'm thinking this is a Baja SBR, if not, my second guess is an extreme-E tograc.

in general it seems like all of these offroad things can share a lot of assets, i'd guess this thing's using piccobuggy rear suspension, prerunner or brophy bruck IFS, and all the miscellaneous bits as we've already seen in the prerunner.
for this, i'd say the only thing they've had to make from scratch is the bare chassis.

and as for the map, it seems pretty certain at this point that it's set somewhere in the southern USA, for all those who complain, remember that to make this map, they've been able to reuse all the basic assets from WCUSA/SIUSA since they're so similar in geology and flora, meaning this would have been a fair bit quicker to make.
remember back when LJFhutch made a bunch of microblogs about doing the environment art for italy, and it took something like 2 years?

 

Im thinking the one teased here is a whole new Dakar level car because of the scoop directly behind the drivers. Maybe something like Mini JCW Buggy or the Peugeot buggies

 

Well, maybe this new map has been produced since 2020? And by the way, someone knows that highway map that appears in Bruckell Bastion trailer? That's don't like related to this new map, is more like SSRB, but I don't think that they used a mod for a official car trailer. (at least the developers)

 

The highway map you mean is part of WCUSA (it was the bridge going to the small island with the tunnel on it I think)

 

Generally italy is the map I see most on YT, my most played map is actually the Automation racetrack

Again I play Automation the most...its just what I see on YT

 

My word, didn't even notice that!

 

Now wait a minute…are these new tires on the buggy thing?

There are several different offroad tires in the game but this one looks different.

They are definitely not all-terrain tires (like the 31' ones on the H15 Vandal), the threads are way too blocky.

The mud-terrain (the tires on the Baja Piccolina) and Hopper crawler tires also don't look like it, their thread block patterns are different from the ones in the picture.

The 38' Screamers (found on the D15 Prerunners) are also very different in terms of appearance.

The big crawler tires (the ones on the D35 Pig) are the closest tires I could find when it comes to thread pattern, but the thread blocks are too deep compared to the ones on this buggy, not to mention that the lettering is black, not white.

Sooo…new tires?

 

Found new parts for the SBR4 in the engine dae, looks like radiators. mesh name is "boxer_lowpoly.002"
