Update Speculation thread

no way in less than a 3 weeks/ a month at least

 

I am thinking mid-April, it is not really soon but is not months as they wanted to stick to a 3-month update schedule

 

yes but that's an estimated average, if it lasts 4 months it also a 3-4 months schedule and not every 6 months as i think 0.25 was

 

Correct me if I'm wrong: this is now the final pre-JV official level to get remastered, right? In theory, then, that should mean that the whole map team is now free to work on entirely new levels.

 

Cliff needs PBR

 

I said from 1 to 3 weeks away because of the 3 month cycle. We already passed the redline, but i was assuming it would be a little more. 4 weeks would also be a correct suggestion in my opinion.
They always say "we are trying to stick to the 3 months cycle", so I always think "ok this time they will stick". But, still trying to keep the hype low for now.

 

Grid, Small, Pure remaster is the only thing I'm waiting for

would take like 10 minutes max for the map team to do too, just reusing the gridmap textures and slapping on a better sky from one of the newer maps

 

Well I never assumed the update to drop before April as the devs had Christmas holidays as well which are 2 weeks and the 3 months are just a guideline ofc

The Cliff map shouldn’t take long as well, maybe they will do them as well so everything is complete

 

Since we’re most likely getting a race-themed update, and it will most likely include tire thermals, maybe tires will have collision with other parts of the car, so they don’t clip through the fender, and if they rub on the body, they pop?

And since it’s a racing-themed update, I hope derby cars are updated, as some have rusty skins, and some have numbers, so I hope they’re all standardized

 

I doubt tire thermals are coming, since the team has had so many issues trying to set it up (For reference, they were supposed to be a part of the last update), I'm guessing the Automation Test Track redux is going to come as a compensation for no tire thermals, as well as various other racing themed addons

 

I would definitely rather have proper hydroplaning physics with real weather instead of tire thermals. Like the “rain” goes through the vehicle.

What I’m trying say is that the developers should seriously consider adding accurate weather simulations, hydroplaning physics where you can actually lose control without turning, rain droplets on cars, and windshield wiper animations.

Devs should also add some airbags

 

This isn't speculation, you're just stating your shopping list

 

Oh, okay. I didn’t know it would take that much work

 

hey bois, what cars do you think is in desperate need to a remaster?

im going with the Moonhawk, Burnside, Sunburst and 200BX

 

May I direct you to this thread: https://www.beamng.com/threads/which-car-needs-a-revamp-update-the-most.90700/

 

so 0.27 was baja/offroad theme, 0.28 might be race/track themed, i wonder what the next themed update will be, maybe it could be a road trip theme, can you imagine, different wagon variants, a minivan, more roof loads, trunk loads (like suitcases and stuff) maybe even a new rv, like the ones seen in Johnson valley, who knows,

 

It would be cool to see some more modern large vehicles
