i think my aunt had one, only not 4wd.

On the topic of legran, if covet theory is true, why isnt it named 4-door unibody instead sedan unibody

Bifdro · Mar 2, 2021

What source 2 says? I dont get it why it's a "teaser"

First of all, it'd be "5 Door Unibody"
Second of all, is the legran getting a 3 Door Body or did I miss something?

nah, we were talking about the wagon, and the legran is only a four door.
i think the way i worded it was bad

The thing is, they only specify doors if the vehicle has multiple of the same bodystyle with differing door counts.

For example, the LeGran just has "Sedan Unibody", as it would only have 4 doors on any sedan version.
However, the Bluebuck has "2 Door Sedan Body" and "4 Door Sedan Body" for it's 2/4 door sedans respectively.

Fair enough.

In an attempt to maybe get this thread back on topic...

V0.22.0: Anticipated release late April - Early May. This is the standard release window for the spring update, no reason to think they will deviate from this.

Soliad Wendover: All the way back in December 2012 we saw the first concept art of this thing. Originally planned to use the V6 from the LeGran. We already got the temporary thumbnail obsolescence confirmation, It was Originally a sedan but changed to a coupe to differentiate it form other cars in game. (Source 2). We saw a shot of her back in August and it seems a bit more upscale than the original concept. There's been some interest in her seeing a transverse V8, as this would up her uniqueness a lot and match the upscale feel from the entry-level luxury car V6. It's safe to say she will have a digi-dash, and there is room for an EVA, which would require a new system in game which could be repurposed for some interesting things. There's also a fair bit of room for platform cousins. Notably a sporty SWB. There's no evidence of this, but it would fit well with their intent of differentiating it and after the release of the FCV twins it wouldn't be out of character for the team. Of note is the highly requested gen 3 stock car. Personally I don't see this happening, it wouldn't use any bits of the Wendover as we know it and would effectively be an unrelated ground up new car.
Civetta Bolide Remaster: Way back in the industrial/port remaster video there was a shot of the Bolide with these changes. No idea when we will see this stuff in the public build.
Bruckell LeGran additions: There's a bunch of stuff in game and one leaked imgur photo that suggests a 4x4 lifted wagon, like an AMC Eagle and an A-Body had a baby. No idea if there will be new bodywork for the LeGran to accompany this to make a cousin like the Tograc/Vivace relationship. It seems fairly likely that the 4x4 conversion will also allow for a RWD conversion (without that, the drift steering rack in game is rather useless). At that point we are halfway to a 1980's Moonhawk. Although we don't really know much anything about what we have seen (and therefore no guesses on how close to complete it is) there is certainly a lot of potential for cool stuff. A 1980's Moonhawk might be a better candidate for that gen 3 stock car everyone wants compared to the Wendover.
H-Series content: The van has got even less content than the Roamer in the trio of remasters, and devs have on multiple occasions told the community to be patient as it will get a fair amount of content. The comment suggests at least one facelift and more body styles as well as updated textures. There's a lot to discuss for possibilities here so I'll just link to an older post of mine discussing possible content additions. There are similar posts from other members in that thread for anyone interested in speculating specifically about the van. It's been awhile since the trio of remasters began and we have yet to see all that much for the van.
Walking mode: No idea when we will see this or what the particulars are, but it's been effectively confirmed. (Source 1) (Source 2) (Source 3)
The usual development limbo stuff: H-Series side door, Ibishu 200BX Gavril 4.5 swap, D-Series wheel lift tow truck, dyno, etc... Of note, the mystery UI that was mentioned once in August 2018 and never again. We really could use a revamp of the UI. The FCV and D-Series selectors are rather messy but there's little that can be done due to how the current UI is coded.

Special Note: Map content. They recently started collecting suggestions for a potential gridmap remaster, so the only way we are seeing that in this update is if the devs pull some "they've gone plaid" development speed and bend the fabric of space-time to their will to get an entire map remaster done in 6 weeks. Being that cliff is another sandbox map, I would think they would do the same suggestions thread approach that gridmap got. That just leaves ETK Test center, Automation, and Italy. Italy was recently finished so if they wanted to add anything then we would've seen it in 0.16 when they "finished" the map. Automation is in great shape and a collab map, so I doubt we will see anything done with that. There's been no hints at an ETK Test Center remaster, but it's the only one left and it really needs to be expanded to be a full map. Other than that, we can only guess what that sub-team has been up to.

Why don't they put Slide Doors in H-Series and other future vans? I hope in a facelift =(
Btw, I love this! I wanna thank Beamng for its updates, rich of contents and fixes! Thank u all, Modders, Moderators and Developers! Thanks to every single person!

Probably for the same reason we don't have gas caps, it's a compromise to keep UV's symmetrical. It was promised years ago (again, see definition of dev limbo...) so maybe once we start seeing H-Series content we will see it.

early sneak peek of what the new gridmap might look like

really digging the new style, definitely fits the game a lot more than the current gridmap

Agent_Y · Mar 2, 2021

It would be cool to see a 5 door covet, maybe the 0.21 slight changes to the doors Jbeam that I noticed were preparations for this?

More pics here. Also, it is a render, not in game, so the game probably won't look like that.

Ooo i like that, flows much more than the current one and looks nicer too

Bakasan · Mar 2, 2021

new gridmap layout looking nice, perfect ratio of ramps, cubes and bumpy bois
just thinking of all the destruction i can do to my 1987 Bruckell LeGran now

Looks like a playground for vehicles

I think a map bigger than italy is likely in the future, there are no engine tweaks that would allow that announced currently. But the devs probably recognize that even italy is too small to allow for proper career mode gameplay... I think such a map would have to be at least 16 km² in size. I think the setting will either be a alpine german/austrian/french/italian map to extend italy™ or a US map that combines Utah Wecusa Ecusa...

That actually makes me wonder - what is the largest mod megamap currently? I know @bob.blunderton's Roane County map is 12x12, is Los Injurus larger than that? What about American Road?

American road is 11x11, of course maos that big havbe the limitation of resolution right now, its hard to make smooth roads...

To be honest I'm starting to expect a special anniversery editon Wendover as it seems to be the kind of car to have it.
