the ellisbury oval is also canonically meant to be in a completely different country to the current kurupae test circuit, so it makes absolutely no sense to put them in the same map. It seems like the automation devs also have more than just this track planned, and I don't think it's likely we're going to see 5 or 6 vanilla beamNG maps solely dedicated to automation.
I highly doubt that they will be adding the oval, there is already enough for this update and it just wouldn't make any sense
What if the ETK is ONLY getting some new parts and a rework. NOT a remaster. Seeing how it looks almost the same ( admittedly its a far away photo ) BUT we have not gotten teasers ( yet or at all ) of the ETK 800. or even the full ETK K-series yet. Just the open door one. and the close up one. AND last update was massive ( not into 4x4 and off roading ) BUT it was awesome ANYWAY. IN the defense, The Parts teaser is over 6 mouths ago. As well as it needs a remaster ( sort of ) I would think the Moonhawk/sunburst would come first or ETK I-series. BUT still it was needing some love/remaster. And i guess a new engine into a Car that needs a remaster is pointless IMO. yes i know the Gavrils got the 5.5 pre remaster. BUT that was LONG ago. I what you all think?
And if the track was set in the ETK map? Imagine: an oval track surrounded of trees, simply wonderful!
IF the devs ever decided to add the new Ellisbury track in BeamNG, they wouldn't take an existing map and chuck it in, it doesn't make sense, they would do what makes the most sense and make a separate map
Someone is already making, DJ Modem, he made the Automation Reworked --- Post updated --- Avaible on his Ko-fi and Patreon
apparently the branch made for im pretty sure content creators (like the funny italian man just got updated recently, we might be getting very close to release
What even is going to be in this release, we've only had like two things hinted at and one of them is a remaster for a map I don't think many of us use. There's gotta be something we don't know about yet, or they just updated the creator program to get feedback and the update isn't actually almost finished
