Update Speculation thread

Exactly. BeamNG is so OCD-style maniac with the small details, it makes us being equally OCD-style maniacs with any small details it may not be paying attention to!

 

It seems the Quality Assurance branch is still getting very regular updates, last one was 4 mins ago at the time of this post.

Nothing in the creator program or QA-Stable. They still cooking.

 

I still think the T series rework is a long way out. So far we've only seen frames for the truck and a visualization of nodes moving, meaning the actual models on the frame are far, far from being done.

 

that is just what they have shown, not an accurate marker of the actual progress of what has been done thus far

 

except the same thing has been said about the Lansdale or the Aurata.

 

This entire thread has just been people saying the update will come out in random days with no evidence

we go off patterns from previous updates

 

Yeah, it seems like the devs have stopped teasing vehicles (or remasters of vehicles) well before they are released - the last time that happened was the ETK K-Series remaster, which was teased on July 12, 2022 and released on April 4, 2023, in 0.28, a wait of almost 9 months. After 0.26 dropped, every new vehicle or vehicle remaster that was teased (unless you count the infamous concept art teaser on Dec. 6, 2022 as a teaser for the Aurata) came out in the next update.

-All the five off-roaders in 0.27 (Dunekicker, Stambecco, Piccobuggy, Rockbasher, Wydra) and the Johnson Valley map were teased after 0.26. (Although the Autobuggy's mesh was released in 0.26 by accident, AFAIK).
-The first 800-Series remaster teaser was released after 0.27 (as was the Automation Test Track remaster teaser), and both came with 0.28.
-The Lansdale and Gambler cars were first teased after 0.28 dropped, and were released in 0.29.
-And the Aurata and tilt deck trailer (and WCA Spearleaf Island expansion) were all teased after 0.29, and released in 0.30.

With the last four updates all following this pattern, I don't see why they would break it for the T-Series remaster or that new trailer. The sliding thing Diamondback teased, I'm not as sure about.

 

What toyota.potato said. We use previous update patterns to make educated guesses as many updates have historically released in December.

 

The update will be released on Monday December 18th at 2:37am EST I need no source

 

Actually it's going to be 2:38am

 

Today more and more heavy trucks are having automated transmission, aka a "robotized" gearbox. The reason of this is simple, manual gearbox in heavy trucks are, well, pretty heavy, and shifting them smoothly often require rev-matching, which contribute to fatigue of the drivers. Hydraulic planetary automatics shifts faster but it's heavier and more expensive with fewer gears (5-10). Robotized gearboxes have more gears (10-18) to keep the engine in its powerband, smoothness is not a requirement in a truck transporting cargo and modern drive-by-wire ECU is able to control the engine and the gearbox simultaneously so the ECU does the double-clutching and rev-matching for the driver.

 

I would love to see more transmissions for the T-Series. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only one vanilla transmission for it at the moment, and it's a manual. (though I have a ton of mods and I don't know what's vanilla or not anymore lol)

 

The T-Series also has a 10-speed automatic (although it's not available on many of the standard configs). That's been in the game for a good, long while - I think since 0.13, when the T-Series got skin UVs.

 

For my local time, updates happen around 13:00 EST from what I've seen

 

After the update, witch the folks here say will be released in 10 days, i'd be happy to see some of those 90s and 2000s American automobile engineering weirdness, like the PT Cruiser, or the chevy HHR, or SSR, weird retro styled stuff like that. here's a drawing to show what i mean:

 

et them first remove the bugs and flaws of existing cars in the game, stop releasing unfinished cars and low-quality remasters, it would be better if the game had 30% less cars, but each of them was polished to a shine

 

Well i dont think they'll add something like this anytime soon anyways, it was just a suggestion, and the thing i like to see ingame. plus they fix bugs, improve the game, add features, and content, mostly at the same time with each update, (like 0.27, the biggest beam update so far).

 

Precisely, the automated 10-speed transmission is metionned as an aftermarked modification, only available with the ramplow version if I'm right.

I believe before they were a 12-speed automatic before the 10-speed automatic, but with some problems.
But it wa really far ago.
