Update Speculation thread

it's a patch to fix the broken 0.10 sounds

 

This is no speculation, it's just an idea which came up to my mind for whenever the Sunburst remastering comes (preferably with Flat engines, for all those reasons we've discussed earlier on): a shark fin rear window spoiler would suit it perfectly, plus there's no other part like this, apart from the rear window spoiler of the ETK I-Series!

 

then why you post this useless spoiler here? (pun intended)

 

I’d also like to see a more, shall I say, “period correct” rally variant, with some sort knock off of one of the iconic mitsu and subie liveries.

 

Yeah, and with gold wheels too!!

For 2 simple reasons: first, because, like I said, we talked about the Sunburst in previous pages of this very thread and second, because an update with this car as its main content will be published sometime down the line.

Your spoiler pun got me! Hehe!

 

Period correct, so a crazy rally car to challenge the Vivace? akin to the real life Subaru rally car?

 

The last 2 teasers were based fully on the new Civetta. With the way these devs work, they wouldn't tease a new car twice in a row if they weren't confident enough that it would be out in this update or the next.

 

Insert crying covet teaser.

I did say last 2 teasers, not the first one.

First one was the covet. Then the other 2, like I said in my post above, were about the Civetta.

 

nope, the covet was in the middle of the two civettas, not that it matters anyway

ok fair enough, i think its just a optical spoiler though, dont expect downforce or anything from it apart little added weight

 

It might not be that much aerodynamically effective but its appearance is certainly too characteristic to be left out of BeamNG!
Plus ok, ~1.5kg (depending on the material and the paint finish - naked carbon fiber, piano black plastic and body-coloured plastic are the obvious options) isn't gonna make much of a difference in a 350hp/1400kg car!

 

Well. Talking about the next update. I would say it's mostly time for it's release from now to 1 and a half month from now. Why?
- 3 month cycle. We are a week away from the 3rd month being over.
- They teased the Civetta multiple times, and so the Covet remaster. (not talking about content, Civetta may not be included on the update)
- QA_Stable means there is a stable version uploaded to the database. This DOES NOT MEAN it is the one going to be launched, but it's stable enough to be uploaded as a base to work on.

Again, not saying it will be released next week, but 1 month and a half from now (as much).
I accept criticism against my speculation.

 

We aren't even sure if the devs are going to update on the 3 month cicle or the 6 month one as they did for the last update, I don't think we are close, the vehicles have been shown on early phases yet, and the content creator branch shoul de updated (as happened at the last time) something around 20 days before the release of the update

 

Devs explicitly apologized for the extra wait last time and said they were coming back to the 3 months cycle.

 

But it is weird that the content creator program hasn't been updated as of yet, if it is in the end of 3 months already, I would se as justifiable if they had to extend it again, as they are apparently working hard to remaster the Covet and doing a New Vehicle,as well as the probability of the PBR updates for the remaining maps, and as I stated, at this time we would have at least seen some in-game teasers of the car and remaster, but as of now we only had sketches.

 

Do we have any firm proof that they actually update the content creator branch before a update? I'm not just talking about 0.24

I don't think they'd show full complete sketches of cars unless they were already done lmao... We know how these devs work, they hold their cards close and not say a word until its time.

 

Yeah, 3rd march would be the end of the 3 month cycle. But as I already said, i would not wait for an update the 3rd but a month and a half from the 3rd.
And as Sparks4 said, they won't even show a line of a new car if it's not gonna be released this update or the next one.

Talking about the "only sketches". We have a photo of the covet body kit already. So you think they sent that photo just when were starting? like,if they were first of all making the widebody of the car? Nah man. Widebody is not the first thing you model of a car. That car is almost finished or already finished. May have small tweakings but nothing big.

Also, staff will probably be reading this, so hi team!

 

I'd expect the update around mid-March or whatever.

 

The content creator branch is quite new, and there haven't been exactly any patterns yet, but they surely have been released to some content creators even for feedbacks (as happened with Ermin Hamidovic discussing about force feedback), Devs would probably use this tool for these kinds of things, feedback on more professional drivers, other conent creator that are keen eyed as well, it's a very important branch for the development, and with a release of a new car and a remaster, i bet they will test with them first before the publixc release, as the devs stated, they are trying to reduce the amount of hotfixes they have to make so they can keep the 3 month schedule without having to have half of the team compromised with hotfixes for majority of the time

 

To be fair the 3 month schedule doesn't mean they should release at EXACTLY 3 months, i'm positive the update could be released before the end of March
