Update Speculation thread

There is a dirt oval on WCUSA It is between the Highway and racetrack I think, it could also be next to the drag strip. I am not entirely sure where it is, but I know it is there.

I completely forgot about that. I remember going to it when the map first came out but I didn’t play the game between November 2017 and earlier this month, hence my forgetting about it. Still want a small track in ECUSA though.

 

offtopic but i love dirt racing as well any chance you could send me the UKR map as i am unable to find it on the forums?

 

ya wanna know what would be really cool, An updated dry rock island. I mean seriously it had dirt tracks, rally, and asphalt courses. The old map still holds up decently to this day and honestly I wouldn't mind seeing a new version. It wouldn't be that hard and would be amazing to see done.

 

I’ve always had a soft spot for that map, it just has a unique feel. Probably just the nostalgia talking. Every map that gets released, starting with JRI, is so far ahead of the last that all the others just don’t feel right. Even the Automation test track makes WCUSA feel outdated for me. (I’m curious where Italy will fit in with this, being started around the same time as WCUSA but also being on a completely different physical scale from the other maps).

I never understood why they decided to replace DRI with a map that takes place in such a different setting. Does JRI even have a gas station? That gas station was important, it was prominently featured in those old official videos.

 

I'll admit, my heart leapt when I saw the Nodeoline station going into WCUSA. It's something that's just so central to what little lore we have - it shows up on several racing paint jobs from what would probably be very historically significant race cars.

I wouldn't mind it if we got a little more Nodeoline-branded content. Nothing too spectacular, maybe just an alternate texture for the tanker trailer, an ad for the side of the bus, a billboard here or there, etc. It's the little details in new content that gets me every update.

I think I've figured out why there is a V10 sound, as well as why the AB isn't ready yet: either an ETK V10 is planned (although I do believe the 800 and K-series are supposed to get V12's), or there may be a vehicle in development that they're not telling us about, which they have been focusing on in secret. If the latter is true, here is my theory as to what that car is:

Look at the Barstow's highest-end models, and note that they are named after snakes. Most interesting is the Lancehead, which is named after the critically-endangered Bothrops insularis, or "golden lancehead," a pit viper native to Snake Island off the coast of southeast Brazil. Clearly, Gavril has a thing for snakes. I'll give you a moment to think about this...



Note that the Viper is also named after a snake, and also features a V10. So, here is my crackpot idea: at some point in the late 80's or early 90's, Gavril revived the Lancehead as its own model, a low-tech sports car featuring a monstrous (possibly up to 8.6-liter, judging from the Barstow's 6.9-liter big-block, divided by 8, multiplied by 10) V10.

Also, it's a Halloween update. What's scarier than a deadly snake?

Even if this is not the case, it needs to be done, and it had better have optional side exhaust.



*notices rating* owo what's this?

I am slowly becoming the Alex Jones of the BeamNG world

 

V10 sound bank was already confirmed to be there only for future availability and for modders to use.

 

"future availability"

I think what I described falls under future availability, hmm?

 

See reply above...

You are like 6 months late to the V10 Hype Train™...

 

Long enough to develop a vehicle!

Say, what was the source of the V10 sound? Was it actually a Viper?

 

Long enough to develop a Lamborgini-inspired new Civetta to go with the upcoming Italy map and the humble Autobello, if anything...

 

So you could say that BeamNG is a game which is developed using help from artificial intelligence as part of your testing is done by AI? That is kinda cool

Coffee pot removal confirmed!

 

So... you have two halves of a former employee lying somewhere in BeamNG headquarters?

And I thought I was an intransigent employer...

 

If person is an engineer, he is equal to 2 skilled workers, but if he is a scientist that would be equal to 3 skilled workers, that would be same as 6 unskilled workers, which would be already a full time worker. However unskilled workers can only run errands and make coffee etc.

Then again I might of played too many games recently

On topic though, so they are trying very hard to pull off traffic in this game, oh boy, oh boy, that will be incredible, @Gamergull will be excited for sure!

I can tell there is a lot of work to be done until that goal is met though, it will take a while for sure as current graphics engine in 0.13 is really not up to it, so that needs lot of work too.

SLRR meets NFS hot pursuit meets Stunts, vibes are intensifying
