Update Speculation thread

Also there are some things like the steam banner that needs to be updated, or the trophy gear pattern icons when you finish scenarios that don't really fit anymore.

 

i dont like the miramar...
but i think its because its very basic compared to other vehicles..

i agree that miramar needs some love.
it would really make it better.

imagine an official miramar bosozoku
would be lit.

 

You're right, it's a bit boring now because it doesn't have a lot of content. The PBR upgrade of its interior is great but it's not enough on its own.
A Bosozoku version would be great. Or a 2-liter race-tuned Inline-6 for the Race variant. Or a coupe body. Or some versions of both bodies with the factory-tuned Inline-6!

 

That's a good question - and it made me realize something. For whatever reason, not even documentation.beamng.com is keeping track of PBR progress on levels, though they are keeping track of vehicle progress.

From what I can tell from reading patch notes, only two updates (0.24.0 and 0.24.1) have so far included updates to PBR textures on maps, and in all cases PBR has been applied only to roads (apparently sometimes only asphalt roads), decals, and terrain. As best as I can piece together, the list as it stands is as follows:

Roads, Decals, and Terrain updated to PBR:

• Jungle Rock Island
• Utah
• Small Island

Asphalt Roads and Terrain Updated to PBR:

• ETK Driver Training Centre
• Derby Arenas
• Gridmap
• Hirochi Raceway
• Industrial Site

That would leave East Coast USA, West Coast USA, Italy, Cliff, and the Automation Test Track completely untouched, but the rest are still apparently works in progress (It seems that map assets like buildings have yet to be updated to PBR, and it also seems that unpaved roads and some decals also remain incomplete on five maps).

I'd probably guess that Cliff will be both next on the list and completed first - it's probably the least complicated official map outside of Grid, Small, Pure. I'd also imagine that ECUSA would precede WCUSA, which in turn would precede Italy, so that any lessons learned about PBR in complicated urban areas of the map could be applied there.

By the way, I notice this is only your second post, and that you just joined us yesterday. Let me be the first to welcome you to the forums!

 

titanium is definitely not lighter than aluminium, i think 30% or so heavier

 

He's probably thinking magnesium.

 

Magnesium is definitely lighter. I'm indeed thinking of titanium.

 

Username checks out lmao

From a quick Google search, it appears titanium is 40% heavier than aluminium, with a density of 4,5 g/cm^3, while the latter has a density of 2,7 g/cm^3... unless I'm missing something, I'm not very informed on the matter

 

Good piece of info this one.
I'm not very informed on the matter either, I must had read somewhere that titanium is lighter than aluminium and didn't really bother to look it up...

 

Thank you for the warm welcome.

 

When we do eventually get the forum remaster, I hope they change the domain to beamng.drive

 

beamng.tech already has a custom domain too.

 

"Applicant Google has applied for the .drive domain. As this is a private application, this domain will not be initially available for public registration"

sad jazz music plays

 

What about beamngdri.ve? It’s not the same, but is similar and also currently available.

 

Well, at least the domain isn't being squatted by a malicious site preying on people clicking on an autoformatted hyperlink in a YouTube comment. Then again, I don't think that kind of squatting has been a thing since the late 2000s (goggle.com and utube.com, anyone?).

 

Back in the early 00s, my mom thought she could type in something she wanted to buy in the address bar, add .com, and be able to buy it. It worked sometimes, and then she wanted to buy goggles for us children. She went to the site and got digital herpes.

 

utube.com is actually a real website, not a fraud. It's the website of the "Universal Tube and Rollform Equipment" company and it got known worldwide back in 2006 by all those who heard "YouTube.com" for the first time and thought it started with the letter "U"! ;-P

Now, back to speculation: I bet the Covet will also get km/h gauges and EU-Spec bumpers (with wider slots for the European license plates) and head-/taillights.

 

I hope it does, I'm kinda tired of seeing those all-red taillights

 

I'm not tired at all of this fact about the Covet (after all, I've said numerous times in this site that I like USDM details because, along with American cars, I don't see them all that often where I live ) but this car fits equally perfectly in the framework of requirements of the European market, so why not?
