Update Speculation thread

Well, I'm dumb. I forgot how time zones worked. I thought you gained time by going east, not losing it. So, the devs release updates around 1am in their time zone.

:3 That's good. Update > Everyone gets the update > No need to notify

 

One thing I suggest. People should get notifications when an update is released.

 

For a mod? That's been a thing for a long time now.

if you stay on the site of course.

 

No, for game updates. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

 

Oh, yea, that would help. Well, who knows. Maybe we will get one next game update...

For all we know, a select few are probably gonna get an update now as a teaser.

 

my notification is steam and when people go crazy on the forums......about the update. people usually crazy anyway on here

 

Or set an RSS feed of the forum to go through your RaspberryPi which is hooked up to a small display on the wall. Hey! It works!

 

An update maybe upon us. The developer section has been very quiet, and they are showing no signs of posting on it.

 

Yeah, usually LJFHutch would give regular Italy updates, but he recently hasn't.

 

Maybe (like with the Hopper) they're making an "unannounced vehicle" that shares a name with something on the concept list? Maybe the 2014 Covet or the Jargl. I mean they said it was unexpected, so...

 

Probably not. Don't talk about that list.

Air bags deploy at an alarming speed once a impact is detected. not sure how fast, but it would be hard to create something that deploys so fast. Also there is no point in air bags if they are not adding people inside, which they are not.

 

Well, you could use beamPrecompression to precompress them to deploy fast.

 

Well, they deploy so fast that they could basically spawn the inflated bag out of nowhere, no need to simulate the whole inflation process.

Also, airbags are deployed even without occupants on board. It might sound pointless, but it's also kinda weird to have modern vehicles crash without a single bag deploying.

 

Estama just said that they are changing over to full volumetric pressure for pressure physics

 

Better tire simulation and lots of optimizations. Awesome!

 

Extremely WIP = central town is missing pointless roundabouts, faded signals and broken traffic lights.

 

Not very likely.

I sure hope not. Speaking of the LeGran, I think that that may be getting some updates soon to get it to the crash standards of the other cars, and it may also be the base for the minivan that will come When It's Ready.

The inflatable mat is composed of over 1500 nodes...which (in a very tiny space) would give HUGE issues in terms of how well they can work. Unless this quote below means that airbags are possible in Beam. And anyway, I just don't see the point of having airbags if we're never going to get in-car drivers.
