Update Speculation thread

Why won’t Americans switch to metric? Just better in every way. I still have to go to the hardware store to pick up “2x4”s and really they’re “3.5x1.5”s wtf? Just switch already!

 

They're too fat and lazy cuz of McDonald's

 

Whoa! How much did I miss lol

 

The English use a mix of both and it's wild to me

 

How long were you gone? If it’s 48 hours, nothing, and if it’s 1 week a lot

 

haven't been on the forums for multiple months, but I've played the game recently

 

Lol yeah like 8 teasers, 0.35 is coming out in like 1-3 weeks and they’ve disabled the creator program branch so we can’t tell when it’s close nowadays
Loads of interesting content in the career mode thread too

 

like Grey and Gray

 

I always think about the stuff that's not shown in the teasers that get added. Those are the most interesting to me

 

its perfectly fine

 

I know it's not exactly a confirmation but what do y'all think a new vehicle would be? Because I have no idea at this point.

not totally impossible, there was sound files similar to one a bit back that were then removed in one update

 

we arent going to change all of our measuring system to please just a few people in the country and to make the rest of the world happy

 

lets see... *checks notes* what would we need to do to switch.... oh just change every single sign, symbol, bolt or screw out there

 

imperial system better

 

Me either but waiting a year for the next car would be a lot, as I think we get a new car every other update.
I think some vehicle type we don't have would be cool, something like a 70s japanese car or some unique Swedish or Korean vehicle, or even another Cherrier or Burnside.

 

No, it was completely intentional

 

Imperial is better for weather prediction, and I will die on that hill. It is more intuitive. In Imperial, 0-100 is about the range of "normal" weather, and anything outside of that is very cold or very hot. This gives you a great baseline, i.e. "50 degrees" is a reasonable temperature, not warm but not freezing. right in the middle. 75 degrees is like, 75% warm.

 

let me guess, it's more intuitive because it's the system your country uses and the one you know right? 0F is not normal Weather, it's -17 celsius also very cold, and over 100F is also not very hot, just hot.
We can also guess with common sense from freezing to boiling numbers

 

Technically, we already have. In 1975, an act was passed that allowed the US states to volunteer to join the metric system. However, the only people who actually did do this was our federal government.
Here's the Wikipedia article on it

The only thing I like about the metric system for temperatures is that 0 is freezing. That's one thing that's always bugged me about the Imperial system. Other than that, I think that the Fahrenheit has Celsius beat.
