Update Speculation thread

I wonder how many configs the new Bruckell is going to have, since prewar cars had a massive variety of body styles and trims

 

Probably around 40, so, on par with the FCV.

 

ABSOLUTLY i couldn't agree more i absolutely LOVE old cars especially from the 50s back

 

Weren't they already included in previous game versions? I mean, the simplified traffic versions of those three cars were fine as is, and there were no major issues with them if I recall correctly.

Still, I am excited to hear that we're getting a 1930s Bruckell with a variety of body styles. I hope to see a hot rod config within the dozens, if not hundreds of configs that'll come with it!

And on that note, I hope to see some rally related content in the next update.

 

Not that it's likely to be in this update, but it would be worth a mention that the automation devs have stated they're "rewriting BeamNG's Combustion Engine code" to bring compatibility for their twinchargers and compund turbochargers:

 

I would hope quite a few as newer additions have been a bit sparse

Is that a truck or something on the other side, it looks off

 

im pretty sure its a truck version behind it and OOH i love classic trucks and i hope there's a panel van because idk why but i love the look of panel vans of that era

 

I know people are talking about the multiple body-styles, but doesn't the Bluebuck technically have 4? Or is it just 2? There's a 2/4 door sedan and 2/4 hardtop sedan

 

Delete, (didn't read the time)

 

Yes, the Bluebuck has two/four body styles, depending on how you count it - but none of those change the silhouette of the vehicle. There's not nearly as much of a difference between the body styles (in terms of appearance) as there is between the sedan and wagon versions of the 800 Series and LeGran, the BX-Series liftback/coupe, or even the coupe/targa versions of the Scintilla/Bolide. (Or the Burnside lead sled body, if we're including custom chop-shop styles.)

The '30s Bruckell, on the other hand, has at least a five-window coupe, a four-door sedan, and a pickup - three body styles with vastly different silhouettes. That's a pretty big deal, considering that seven years ago, Gabe was saying that adding more body styles for passenger vehicles (as opposed to trucks) was not really a priority, and we've only had a maximum of two silhouette-changing body styles for each passenger vehicle. Hopefully, there's even more body styles for it that we just haven't seen yet.

 

Do we consider today a possible day for an update?

 

They haven't release the qa_stable yet. Maybe this week.

 

But as of now its 12:32 AM in Germany (Beam.ngs home country), so we still have time for a release.

 

Maybe they will post a teaser on social media today (since it's Tuesday) and the update will be released later this week/next week.

 

It's certainly possible - we're well within the Holiday Update Zone (9th-21st), and we just had possibly the last teaser yesterday - we could have another 0.30 situation, where the update drops the day after the final teaser.

I still think we're more likely to see the update on Wednesday-Thursday this week, though - but the devs have constantly proven me wrong whenever I've been a bit pessimistic about the holiday updates (releasing all five vehicles teased before 0.27 in one update instead of two, and releasing 0.31 on the 14th instead of the 19th, like I thought it would), so based on that track record, I wouldn't be surprised if the devs decide to do a hat trick on me and release it today - there's still plenty of time for it to drop.

 

Y'all

 

Well, I guess it's most likely happening today, then. This happened last year, as well - thankfully, I wasn't in the middle of typing a post when it happened.

I'm completely fine with this, though - completely happy to be wrong in these instances.
