Update Speculation thread

Any speculation about the GIF contest?

 

They were talking about merch in that event post... I would 100% buy a mug.

 

Absolutely. I'm an Autistic dork so I kinda collect weird things. I have a mug collection, Pencil collection, and a vintage computer collection.

 

As a fellow autistic dork I can confirm I love collecting stuff.

 

more specifically,
a belasco diesel V8, with intercooled and non-intercooled variants (sadly no natural aspirated version)

raised rear suspension and a driven front axle (which sits 173mm or 6-13/16" higher to be precise),

steering links and spring mounts for a twinsteer axle, (ignore that the front axle is the offroad one here, it's just for my mockup purposes)

and a drop axle.

note that there's no provision for a pass-through front diff, so we likely won't see any twinsteer 8x8 configurations,
and the offroad suspension is all leaf sprung/walking beam, so no offroad air suspension, and no raised single rear axle.

 

OOoohh! Good find!

 

Awesome! I heard rumours that there were sounds for a Diesel V8 but I didn't know that there was a full model for it too!

 

Beam is autism approved

 

th

think its a GIF contest ngl bro
it has no hidden meaning but only time can tell hahah

im loving the t series stuff

 

looks cool

 

Perhaps it's being worked on behind closed doors, but hopefully we do see such a thing in 0.33.

 

Just a guess but the fact that its named a belasco diesel, and is always forced induction, my guess is it is a Detroit diesel style 2 stroke V8 (thus the reason why its not NA because that's not possible with that engine configuration) which is pretty cool and will be interesting to see simulated in game.

 

Something is telling me that we could get a T-series remaster part 4 if they can't add everything. Sadly we still don't have a log crane to load the trailers log.
By the way, what is the difference between intercooled and non-intercooled ?

 

I guess more power thanks to lower intake air temperature

 

Have not posted in a while, last I heard the update was delayed indefinitely, any updates after that?

 

This one's interesting:

...the next 4 pages are just people saying how much they hate paid mods

 

Frankly I don't have a clue either.

As another (probably, not tested but all sign point to yes) Autistic dork. My Videogame collection puts most women's shoe collections to shame.

 

Adding onto what was already said...

• We know from a post by James that Shuffleboard logistic skins will be coming at least for the trucks, maybe trailers too, and it sounds like some way to have "barely functioning trucks", so maybe more low end configs or some expansion to the part wear system
• There is a racing block in game already. There's a lot of race truck options we could see, so I'd be surprised to not get at least one.
  • The top of my wishlist is something from the Great American Truck Race, which anyone who has seen Smokey and the Bandit II might recognize from the intro sequence.
  • Something a bit more out of left field would be a contemporary Australian Super Truck. These are closer to the modern Euro semi truck racing that most people think of. A bit less fitting for the T-Series, but still not an unrealistic inclusion. Without any other Australian content in game I don't see this coming, but it's worth noting
  • There's a whole slew of options for highly modified drag racing/tractor pull build options
  • It is worth noting, while these wouldn't get a racing engine block, that local 1/4 mile tracks in the States have done all sorts of things with semi trucks over the years. This sort of racing is culturally important for most of the US, disappearing (mostly gone already in much of the country), and has very little representation in videogames (There was a fair number of games in the 2000's that had a some, but Wreckfest is the only modern game I can think of that does)

 

I am back!! Are there new infos about 0.33 speculation? I'm so inactive here, ik
