Update Speculation thread

nice

 

I expect that we're gonna get bigger engines for the T-Series with this update too, nobody back then was making any kind of 450hp out of a 10.6L. That job was left to 15L engines like the Cat 3406, and then we had extra big engines like the Cat 3408 and Cummins KTA that we used to hit 600hp.

 

Do you think they'll add air suspension to the T-Series?

 

The T-Series already uses airbags with adjustable pressure as its rear suspension, however they're actually pressurised beams.

---

At its beginning the game used hubWheels until pressureWheels with correct air simulation were added.
Now, I don't know if this isn't already done due to the system's age or another reason, but wouldn't it be better to also use properly JBeamed airbags using pressure groups for the pneumatics on the Wentward and T-Series?
It could cause stability issues in water, however at such low pressures and sizes it shouldn't be too bad. If anyone is interested I might do a proof of concept.

 

does it not already have it?

 

They never do things by halves. The future system will necessarily be better than the one we currently have. In addition, the system we have does not make truck travel comfortable.

 

I hope we get a couple suspension layouts. Like walking beams, rubber block etcetc.

Lot of cool stuff to nerd out on from this website

Am I the only one who got Rust vibes from that?

 

Does someone think they're gonna add completely interactive interiors for vanilla cars on the next update?, 0.31.

 

I checked today, they updated the qa_latest 2 times today, 6 hours ago and 2 hours ago

 

I was thinking about something similar being possible. I have a feeling that it might not be a motor coach, instead, I think it's possible that there might be a motorhome, and possible even a toterhome. The reason for this is due to the animated teaser that shows some type of slide out. Unless the animation is showing a stabilizer. If it is, I think it might be possible that we might be getting a crane upfit. If there are plans for a crane, I feel like it might be possible that the cargo containers could be loaded onto one of the longer frames using the crane. And to make sure that they don't slide off, use something similar to the trailer coupler system to secure the cargo containers.

 

What are the progression steps for them to get to the final update please ?

 

hear me out. do you guys think a motorhome or a toy hauler might be possible if we get a extended cabover frame?

 

This is quite possible, considering the first teaser's whole right hand side is for what is very likely a cabover - especially with all of the longer chassis near the bottom of the image. (I have quoted @CaptainZoll 's useful table above)

 

Yep, more turbo options (and more block options to handle them, too) would be great!!

Congratulations!!

 

Whats sad is that a stage 3 turbo-diesel d-series makes more boost than the biggest turbo in the t-series, def needs some help

 

Developers are discussing the performance of dual wheels for trailers) at the same time modders are releasing a super detailed bus

 

Bigger engine upgrades/updates is always a treat I love, IRL or not. I'm curious about seeing how much they can haul in the 0.31.

Also, man, I'd love to see an OM473 15.6l I6 clone in BeamNG, coupled with a modern multi-speed automatic transmission, for a modern European truck of course!

Not really sad, I'd say. It's just that the 10.6 engine is physically larger than the 6.0 and it also has fewer and larger cylinders (6 and 1.76l each vs 8 and 0.75l each), so torque ratings also jump up a bit without having as big of a need for turbocharging. And it's a bit older too, with less advanced technology than the smaller 6.0.
But yes, I definitely agree, the 10.6 is already a beast of an engine, let alone any larger one that may come as well with the 0.31, and it needs more parts!

 

What I meant is that the Stage 3 turdbo on the D-Series, cranked to max boost, makes more boost than the biggest turdbo on the T-Series

 

I know. The Stage 3 of the 6.0 maxes out at 5.2 bar while the T600 of the 10.6 maxes out at 3.9 bar.
