    I rubbed my eyes and I still can’t see how anyone can draw conclusions. We need to see the sun positioning and angle compared to the clouds. I’ve also never in my life seen clouds move that fast so that doesn’t seem like a normal parameter.

    In the start of the video we can see that it is 7AM, with overcast preset being 5PM, so we could use that to figure out where the sun currently would be.

    Those dates and times listed are when the environment config was saved, not the actual time of day that will necessarily be applied. They're all around the same time, but yet you see the sun move positions, and there's a night setting in there, too. Those aren't all 5pm, brother.

    And I don't think the shadows are not sync'd with the clouds - that would make no sense. There's a delay or adjustment/loading period after each of the changes, where everything recalibrates, but I'm quite sure the shadows are being cast from the clouds, with the Sun as the light source

    We want a teaser with a more visual example; for now, it all looks very dubious)

    Who is "we"? A dev said you were wrong in the nicest way possible, and you just double down. This forum is the only corner of this community I don't mind interacting with once in a while cause these people are generally more even-keeled. Please don't turn this place into Reddit or the Discord channel.

    Yeah, I did not pay any attention to the rest of the presets also being 5PM. My bad.

    "I don't want this, I want that!" ahh post. I really dislike the fact people complain about the devs' hard work.

    There was someone complaining about the BeamNG PS5 port about a month ago, and now we have this. Just be grateful for what the devs show so far dude and stop complaining.

    That's the config of the first PSA hybrid generation, and engine in the front with an electric engine in the rear. The max autonomous is 4 km and the driver can switch to Auto/Sport/ZEV/4WD.

    Hey everyone,
    I haven’t been active on the forum for a while, but I’ve heard a lot about 0.39 – from pictures, TDev's Discord messages and this thread. But does anyone actually know if there will be any fundamental gameplay changes or new features alongside the massive graphics update? Like more traffic because of the updated engine, career mode changes or new car features like the sunvisors in the new teaser... would like to know your opinion on this! :D

    Career mode will only have some minor changes according to a dev. I hope the traffic is optimized further.

    We'll be getting drafting/slipstreaming, and there likely will be some other new features added with the Ardente (the new car). But the majority of the development focus seems to have been on the graphics updates and the PS5 port.

    Multiplayer feels like a huge gameplay change although it didnt sound like 0.39 done
