Update Speculation thread

isn't the automation test track a new zealand map

 

That's an American car with a conversion kit made by an American company... I mean it's still technically a ute but eh

I'd still be up for all the aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi they can give us, 100%

 

Yes, and the only one where we drive in the left of the road.

 

New Zealand =/= Australia. And there are some people who'd probably tear your head off for saying otherwise.
Similarly how a Scot would do the same if you called them 'British', or worse 'English'.

 

i know its not australia and i wasnt claiming it was but isnt it similar

 

or an irishman

 

Man, that mountain looks amazing! Combine that with an asphalt ribbon surrounding it and you also have the perfect touge/hillclimb/anti-speeding advert scene!!

Didn't know about this car. Looks really nice!
I can easily imagine a BeamNG equivalent in Sedan, Coupe, Wagon and, of course, Ute body styles, with I6 and V8 engines, naturally!

 

It's an obscure brittish car for the Au market . 17000 of them sold , and a cancelled sequel to it (P81)

 

if we get a leyland p76 i will be hoping that one of the first mods for it will be lhd because those cars are so freakin cool but it feels weird driving a rhd car

 

Australia has euro and american trucks so would makes sence, there's also european trailers or likely to european trai

So maybe a new ute. Like a Holden maybe

 

I feel like I drive more RHD than LHD in Beam lol

 

It would have to be a brand new car, all the muscle cars we have are American. I mean they could do a rebadged Bastion or Barstow plus a ute version I guess but if there's ever an Australia-themed update it would need a brand new "hero car" to go along with it.

 

what are you driving?

 

Private RHD japanese autroon mod confimred????????????????

 

Just generally RHD cars, like Covets, the Arimas, stuff from KLJP etc
I may actually drive LHD more, but I do use RHD a lot.

RHD is literally in the public version of the JSP lol

 

Exactly. An Australian hero car would be the perfect way to introduce a new Australian map.
In that respect, Gavril could have an Asia-Pacific operations division to produce cars for Australia and New Zealand under a subsidiary nameplate (and that isn't the Burnside one, mind you). Plus the venerable Gavril 232ci or 3.8/4.1 I6 could have a modern successor made by this division, available in both NA and turbocharged versions. I'd love to see this engine get a modern successor for a couple of reasons:

1) We're really missing a modern gasoline-powered I6 to be larger than the 3.0 liter gas and diesel units of the modern ETKs. Think of the Ford Barra I6 here.
2) This engine could also be put in a modern, neo-retro Barstow of the 21st century for a really interesting twist, alongside a modern - and relatively small, compared to Bruckell units - Quad-Cam and Quad-Valve V8. Think of the Ford Coyote V8 here. Since Bruckell makes larger and simpler V8s, Gavril can specialize in smaller and more sophisticated units, as it's the brand to have SOHC V8s already from the mid-80s.

 

in addition to that, an au themed update could also feature road trains if they dont already come with the t series update, which it probably wont

 

It says mod approval will be slower… i know their working hard

 

Yes, it has the look and colors of the area called 'Central Otago' in New Zealand which is around the Queenstown / Wanaka areas.

 

Yep, searched its history. Dark and miserable, just like the existence of BL as a whole.
