Update Speculation thread

Possibly a rewrite of the CEF UI?

 

I thought so too, but apparently not.

BeamNG merch did exist, they just gave it only as contest prizes, like you said. Boy, I really want them to make merch, they deserve to sell something extra for the amount of fun they offer to us with the game!

 

+ Merch would make some good money on the side too I would assume

 

Hot wheels offroad scintilla when

 

Ind be Willing on paying 10€ for small beamng hotwheels

 

I'm not sure if I want a BeamNG t-shirt (as I generally tend to go no-logo) but if they decide to sell a blue D-Series model in some 1:40 scale, I sure as hell am waiting in the queue for it.

 

1:18 scintilla course

 

1:1 Pigeon (base)

 

Yes.

 

I‘d put that right into my room

 

Imagine them selling versions of the logos from BeamNG car brands so you can put it on your car, replace that Ford/Chevy logo for a Gavril/Bruckell

 

Gunna need me an etk logo then

 

Thanks to everyone for wishing me a happy birthday

On the merch front, scale miniatures of the BeamNG vehicles would be very nice indeed. I'm more of a guy of the details, though, so I'd like the miniatures to be in 1:8 scale with all of their parts in (wheels, tires, seats, steering wheels, shifters, interior trim, lights, body panels, powertrains with their parts, brakes, suspensions, etc)!

P.S.: Can you imagine them made by AutoArt or Amalgam?

 

OKTOBAFEEEEEEEST

 

Drunk driving scenarios: confirmed

 

I wish I could go

Beam NG at Game Con when?

 

I just had a couple of ideas about drag racing.

1) On the Automation Test Track map, there's the airport of the Kurupae Aero Club and its landing strip is about as wide as the WCUSA's dragstrip but, most importantly, it is ~900m long from its one turnaround circle to the other, so it can be used for 1/4 mile drag races with a good bit for deceleration after the 400m mark. And the large white lines at each end, used for helping the pilots land their aircrafts, also offer some clearly marked points for positioning the cars at the start line. Plus, there's a nice unpaved return road right next to it.
When this map got its remastering with the 0.28 Update, I was kinda surprised its airport didn't get a drag racing update because it can definitely be used as a dragstrip.
I think it's best for it to start from the SE part of the map and head to the NW, the 13:55 spawning time this map has is just perfect for the lighting, not to mention that the cars will be facing the setting sun.

2) Some time last year (June 2022, I think), we had a conversation about how quick/fast the Scintilla is on a straight line. One of the devs responded by uploading a video in which we saw the AWD Scintilla GTx literally decimating the RWD Scintilla GTs and the Vivace S 410Q Arsenic from a standstill. The reason why I mention this is because I noticed a tool on the bottom left corner of the video which looks like a master control for controlling more than one cars in an impromptu drag race. The tool has 4 options: "PREPARE", "GO!", "RESET", "RESET + GO!". It would be absolutely useful in BeamNG for setting up drag races wherever and whenever we like. I happened to have had downloaded that video back then, so here you go!
