I wonder what his sources are then, because I have never heard of such thing and I think that I would of heard such big thing if there would be such big thing, nobody has written about it on forums I think, so there ought to be some other source for that where he has heard it from? I'm not entirely sure what benefits would dropping sbeam support give, considering it would kill lot of mods, which developers try to keep alive as well as they can, they go even so far that do not add some new features to keep old mods supported so dropping sbeam would sound bit out of place to me at least. Considering DB hinted that it might indeed be bit unreliable rumor, I would be quite surprised if sbeam would be dropped, which makes me want even more concrete evidence until I'm a believer on that one.
I heard it from a forum member who in turn supposedly heard it from a developer. And I agree killing backward compatibility would be very shortsighted.
As suspected, rain flaps will be making a future appearance on the T-series, as this excellent action shot from @Nadeox1 shows. So now we've got Curved, Miter, and possibly Flat Top stacks if those flaps are their own separate part (as is the case on the Piccolina). Now all that's really left is something like the Bullhorn or West Coast Curve.
it makes me happy that the T-series is getting more love. now if we could only get that Tow bed, a Utility bed, and a long bed for the D-series, I'd be extremely happy.
Now I am extremely lazy and don't want to search 400 pages to find the artwork by Nadeox1 but there was a piece of artwork that said "Looking for leaks?".
1. it's just jumping 2. no, it still has bumpers, no paintjob/rally parts, etc. 3. that's part of a V8 swap mod someone did (I forget who, but it was a while ago) 4. using a miramar z front fascia, I doubt it's planned official content. it has orange trim, i wonder if that's someone's skin mod, or if that is future official content. it does still have Kc6tx badges, so no V8/V10.
