Update Speculation thread

The Bulldog represented the demon but that works better. changing it.

 

Hmmm... Didn't know there was also a Chrysler 3.8 V6, I only knew the Mitsubishi 3.0 and the Chrysler 3.3 V6s from the 90s.
I mentioned the GM 3800 because the engine textures (especially with the Supercharger, having the word "Supercharged" printed on the metal and, also, with the Sport Intake, which is a rectangular air box with the "3800" printed on it) remind me of that engine. I also mentioned it because it sounds kinda rough (starting at 4:02, listen carefully behind John Davis' words)!

Fun fact: the Sport Intake of the Bruckell 3300 V6 also has the "3800" printed on it, instead of the "3300"!

 

These sound so good.

Petition to make the LeGran sounds like this.

 

Fuck, that sounds a LOT better than my car did when I pulled the muffler off (obviously I put it back on afterwards). The Legran NEEDS to sound like this!
--- Post updated ---

3.3 is the EGA motor, same family as the 3.8.

 

beamng's day/night cycle, as well as the night lights, oddly reminds me of SimCity 4's. it really does feel like a filter lol. although, since they seem to be doing stuff with lights and converting maps to pbr, i think the likelihood of a day/night revamp is pretty high.

 

is this the new-fangled way to speculate about updates?

 

always has been

 

Could be. Besides, not all V6 engines from companies around the world have to sound the same!

Ah, I see! Thanks!

 

In regards to the Bolide, for the next remaster, will there be an inset rear window or “flying buttress” rear window like this?

 

I think the 3800 on the 3.3 with sport intake is actually on purpose because the sport intake was just intended for the 3800.
My guess is it was reserved for the top of the line 3.8l but was "accidently" given to the lower V6s

 

How do you get the water on the ground?

 

We already have an full size SUV (Roamer), an pickup with SUV like configs (D-Series, an Crossover SUV (Tograc)... not quite sure why we would need more. Maybe a modern version of the Roamer.

Arcanox has a great hybrid mod. Devs repeatedly said that hybrids are extremely unlikely as their high quality standards make it a lot of work in comparsion to the gameplay benefits. Seing that pure electric drivetrains could also use more features I would estimate changes of an official hybrid extremely slim.

A diesel seems extremely unlikely in such a car. Not only have diesels never been popular in the US in the first place, but the average buyer of such a car is probably not interested in fuel economy in particular and more into "Wrrrrroooooom"

Dont think so. Not to mention the hissy fit certain people would trow in the forums if they give it an efficient direct injected 3 cylinder with hybrid on top instead of the dreamed off big chunky V8...

Hybrids are also already waning in real life with pure EV on the rise.

Europe was always more popular for diesels... relative high fuel prices saw to that. As did tax incentives and generous (in comparsion to petrol cars) emission standards.

USA was not as generous with diesel exhaust and thus diesels where more expensive to manufacture, further decreasing their market share.

Not entirely unrealistic. Toyota made a deal with BMW that involved Hybrid vs Diesels technology because what Toyota could offer dieselwiese was not not fit for the european market and they didnt want tos spend a lot of development money on something that - globally - was relative unpopular.

That probably is map based, nothing you can do by yourself.

 

they said it will be before christmas

 

Well we already have all sorts of sedans since they are and were one of the most popular body styles in history. A Roamer is a very specific representation of an SUV, as you said, full-size which doesn´t have much to do with what most SUVs are nowadays nor with the most popular ones. I don´t think that you guys (unless you´re American) see that many Suburban/Tahoe-like cars everyday. Rather Tiguan(euro-spec)/ RAV4 / X3 etc...

And yeah, we do have the Tograc but that´s a compact crossover directly based on the Vivace. That´s not what I´m talking about. We also have the Legran/ Grand Marshal which are close in time and both sedans but with very different focuses.

 

Could be. But it seems a bit weird given the fact that we also have Sport Intake choices for the Inline-4s (although they don't have the "2200" and "2500" written on them, they just say "POWER F.I.", which is correct, these displacements are nothing to brag about ).

 

Beater config should be called bastion remnants

 

That's like saying we already have the Autobello and the Covet so we don't need the Vivace. The 1990's fullsized truck BoF Gavril's and 2020's hatchback-based Tograc still leaves most SUV niches open. For example, modern Euro unibody midsized SUV would be a very unique addition to the game. Like the Bastion, modern SUV's are highly requested, would fill important empty niches, and counterparts are incredibly popular IRL. Plus I really want to see a massive SUV in game that's faster on a track than half our current roster...

IRL the export versions of the LX did get a diesel. Unless we get a Euro spec (which is unprecedented) we won't see a diesel, but the idea of the platform getting one isn't completely unrealistic. Seeing a low/mid spec based on these export versions isn't out of the question, though certainly less than likely.

There are a lot of cars in game that IRL justification for a diesel, regardless of market variations. The LeGran, both Pessimas, the Sunburst, Hopper, Covet, and I-Series.

 

slightly off-topic, but I find the “Bastion” jokes amusing. we’ve had Widowmaker for a suggestion of a top of the line model that probably has a dangerously high amount of horsepower, beater config called bastion remnants, both a reference to Overwatch and Minecraft, respectively.

 

I'll be interested to see what they do as far as game balance goes if they do add AWD. the "muscle car" levels of power, coupled with a tight, refined, modern chassis, akin only to the vivace could make for quite an overpowered car.
once career mode comes around, they may need to... nerf Bastion.

 

In my opinion they'll either nerf it, or make the over powered variants rare (limited) / expensive for career mode.
