    They're fine to be in the same mesh part, the vertices along the edges between two glowmaps just can't be physically fully connected and merged to each other as 3d models simply don't have a way to then distinguish what "side" of the vertex each glowmap material belongs to (as for technical reasons this stuff works on vertex materials, not triangles). There's various ways to then make things look normal again shading wise (data transfer etc) if being split would then mess that up (like for curved glass pieces)

    Yeah I'm leaning towards overhaul. I think proportions are going to be tweaked. A whole new drivetrain is enough evidence to say overhaul by itself though

    i feel like the update might come out next week, possibly either the 31st if they already fixed any bugs, the 4th because they might still have some bugs, and a Friday is a great time to release an update considering its the weekend, or the 1st if the devs feel silly :p

    I totally agree. In the first teaser of the new drivetrain on March 11th ("Do We Hear The Rumbling Of Speculation?"), the idle sounds exactly like the 4x speed version of yesterday's video!

    The video of March the 11th:


    The 4x speed version of yesterday's video (it's also got more sound details now than it did on March the 11th):

    That said, the 3x version sounds like it has a factory idle while the 4x sounds like it has a Race ECU, which idles higher!

    Is there any chance the update could be this weekend? Do they typically release on weekends? I don't remember. Teaser quantity has ramped up a lot so I assume its imminent

    I'd assume most of the office would be off of work on the weekend. Releasing the update on the weekend would be a pain as they'd need to pull people from their weekends for live bugfixes.

    You are literally the only person in the update speculation thread that expects that it will be on-topic, 24/7

    4x is definitely the right one, judging by the blow-off.

    I introduced my friend to BeamNG yesterday. He can’t stop playing it now

    They might’ve blocked BeamNG website cause of the Forums (just a theory)

    hopefully the update is this week so it falls perfectly on my spring break
