Update Speculation thread

The passenger mirror on the D-series look interesting

Edit: and rear bumper

 

The two things that stuck out to me are the nine vehicles in one picture. Granted, it could have been super laggy and just for the point of a nice picture, but I hope there is some increase in core scaling with many vehicles.

The second thing I noticed was the pessima with the open hood. That's a new feature.

Edit: just realized they are at a gas station. Refueling is probably implemented.

 

Or it's just a staged screenshot that's meant to look nice.

 

?

If jumping to conclusions were an Olympic sport, you'd be a gold medalist.

 

that van looks pretty long to me. I'm not sure if it's just the angle but maybe extended van??

 

Just the angle.

 

That extended Roamer is beautiful. IMO it looks much better like this.

 

The Roamer has already been shown off in an earlier screenshot, where you could see the barn doors. The only thing shown in this picture that hasn't already been is the D-Series having pre-facelift tow/larger mirrors.

Those are the stock 6-lug 4-slot steel wheels. You can, however, see new steel wheels on the H-Series.

Something to note from this picture though is where the H-Series is. This pic is obviously staged for the screenshot, rather than just being taken during a random time while using traffic. This means that most of the vehicles are where they are for a reason (Roamer showing off barn doors, D-Series showing new mirrors, and H-Series showing the new rims). What part of the H-Series is blocked in this picture? Right where a sliding door would go of course. Perhaps we may get some new bodies on the van in the next update and it was just covered up in this pic.

 

Okay fair point. I worded my post poorly.

The lifted hood on the pessima could be held by the node grabber, however it is very hard to achieve a natural look, as it will typically lift the front suspension, as your picture shows. Also the method of "popping the hood" is currently super janky, I feel there is potentially some reason the hood is up on that picture.

Also implementing a simple refueling mechanic isn't really far fetched, as we can already choose the amount of gas in a car manually, so having the fuel level go up at a specific rate when parked at the gas pump would make sense. Eventually some method of refueling will be implemented as it is necessary for career mode, whether or not it will be in 0.19, I have no idea.

 

I've been around cargo vans all my life (parents owned a small business), I've never seen a cargo door on that side of the van.

 

If there were a sliding door there, there would be a rail for it on the (visible) rear part of the body, and there isn’t.

But I just can’t unsee the fact that it looks slightly longer, even accounting for the camera angle and all that.

 

Next Vivace teaser when?

 

I suspect that we're close enough to the update that the next time we see the Vivace could be a pre-release trailer like how the Piccolina and Bluebuck released their trailers a few days before release.

 

The wheels on the H-Series look like an older alloy wheel. They are probably going to be on the higher trims of the pre-facelift D-Series.

The new Roamer looks amazing and I can't wait to drive it. It will be the closest thing to my truck in game unless they make an SUV with the D-Series body. It looks more accurate compared to some mods that add an extended Roamer.

 

do I spy a new steering wheel in the D25?
edit: nvm

 

Looks like the standard D-Series wheel to me.

 

The rear bumper is new on the D Series

 

That's a strangely suspicious denial...
