Update Speculation thread

Ok here are my guesses
- new 1.8 for the Base and Type-L
- current 2.0 for the Type-LS and Track
- new 2.6 straight six for a new GTz and Demon
- Gavril V8 for the Drag and Drift configs

 

Great suggestions, simple and logical!
Apart from the GTz and Demon versions, the 2.6 Inline-6 could also equip the Track and Drift versions. The latter two versions could be duplicated, with only the engines (2.6 Twin-Turbocharged Inline-6 and 6.9 V8, preferably), livery colours and the accompanying suspension settings setting them apart!

 

I want the update so bad aaaaaaaaaa

 

How to summon 0.24 :

1)

Open your computer

2)

Open Beamng

3)

Listen to "The final countdown" until the update pops out, while you're doing some vancakes

 

Yeah, im overdue for some new content too.
And yes, i know Tdev stated it would take longer than usual.
Hopefully the boys n girls at beam getting it rigged until the start of december otherwise if simply have no choice as to undertake the 300km from Düsseldorf to Bremen to fetch em some drinks and snacks to work even faster on the update.
Thank me later for the early update release.

 

I really wanna work with the new car platform in blender

 

The Holden Commodore was originally just a heavily modified German sedan (sorta in a similar market to the BMW 5 series).
Really GM should have just turned the Commodore into a world car in the 90's. Maybe we would still have them right now if they put a larger focus on the European market.

 

First the Opel Commodore C, second gen was based on Senator and Omega B

 

"The VB Commodore was loosely based on the 1977 Opel Rekord E bodyshell but with the front grafted on from the Opel Senator to accommodate the larger Holden six-cylinder and V8 engines, giving it a similar appearance to the Opel Commodore, the Vauxhall Viceroy, sold in the UK and the Chevrolet Commodore, sold in South Africa. Overall, the body was strengthened substantially to withstand the harsh conditions of the Australian outback. Total cost of development is reported to be over A$110 million."

 

Sexy.
Never knew they really had to beef the body up for down under.

 

I don't know, the Track version already has plenty of power, it doesn't need a heavy straight six in it, while V8 engines are fairly popular in drifting so that wouldn't be unrealistic, but you're not wrong on that, the 2.6 would be just as good in the Drift version

 

With the 2.6 and 1.8 it would have to be 180BX and 260BX. Why not leave the 200BX with 4s (a la nissan S-chassis), with the 6 for a more fairlady style car.

 

I agree with that

If we were to get a fairlady style car, I’d prefer an S30 for no apparent reason.

 

That's not a bad idea either

 

Long, yes but heavy? Not quite. If anything, it's just a bit longer than the 2.0 Inline-4!

An S30-like car would be amazing (with a decent Inline-6 and especially with a Gavril 291 swap ) but I was thinking more about a Z31-like vehicle, although the latter has a V6 and we're mostly talking about Inline-6s for the 200BX. Hmmmm...

 

Umm, the JDM Z31 had the RB20E on 200ZR trim

Spoiler: If you're asking

Engines on the Z31

• 2.0 L VG20ET V6 Turbo (200Z, 200ZG, 200ZS)
• 2.0 L RB20DET I6 Turbo (200ZR)
• 3.0 L VG30E V6 (300ZX)
• 3.0 L VG30ET V6 Turbo (300ZX Turbo)
• 3.0 L VG30DE V6 (300ZR)

 

Well, even though it looks like, the Van doesn't share the engines with the D-Series. It totally could, since ot shares exactly the same nodes, but it doesn't. Maybe they'll finally make the H-series compatible with the D-Series mechanical parts, because it's sad that we can't get the gigantic variety of engines that the D-Series have through mods.

 

That wouldn't be hard to do. Having the intakes on their specific folders (or maybe just the airduct), would be enough. But some suspension parts (since the van has wider tracks), like the hubs and brakes could also be shared (or maybe the entire suspension, since the node offset is a thing and could easily solve that problem too)
