Update Speculation thread

I think beamng needs more realistic sounds, of cars and environments ^^

 

I honestly think that modern everyday cars like the mk2 pessima should have a less loud noise. I mean, you almost don't even hear the engines of cars that pass by irl, almost only the tire rattle.
a video to explain what i mean:

 

Never heard this in game. This should be improved in the game

 

That and I don’t think it’s realistic for the gas engines to rev to 6 or 7000 rpm under normal acceleration and stay at those rpms just to maintain normal road speeds. It should be more like 2000, maybe 3000 rpm max. That is the main cause of all the noise. I also notice that, at least to me, some of the gas engines sound like diesels while idling. The last thing is the level of noise off other vehicles that can be heard from interior. It’s not normal to be able to clearly hear the other car’s engines from inside your own car, only general road noise caused by tires and wind.

 

the engine dimentions are completely different you muppet.
as mutch as i like the ferrari flat 12 engine, there is no logical way you would implement that in a car such as the bolide, as a matter infact. they should just make in into a cross plane engine like a maserati has an significatly lower the Rpm limit.

 

Ferrari F40 only had a V8

 

I said it once and I'll say it again. We do not know anything about the post remaster Bolide, nor anything about potential cousins or superbuilds. We don't know the market position and we don't know the engine bay dimentions.

I never said a flat 12 and V8 are the same dimensions, and without knowing what the post-remaster Bolide and any corresponding relatives look like we cannot come to any conclusions as to what will fit.

 

yeah

 

ok ok hear me out

 

Ah yes, logic. Who needs that anyway?

 

Big V12 is best V12

Seriously though, what do we expect for the Bolide content additions?..

I'm sure we will see a facelift. We've seen a lot of facelifts lately and a fair number of Bolide counterparts were facelifted at least once (sometimes more than once)

Special edition trim levels are commonplace on such cars, so that's expected as well.

But what about the bigger stuff? A Targa body style makes sense. Platform sister/cousins, like a standard super car and a halo car sister? What about superbuilds, can anyone think of a superbuild that would make sense? I don't think a Group B/Group 4 would need enough changes to put it at that level.

 

All i want for the bolide is for it to not look horrible and make it look like a proper italian sports car instead of some sad looking offbrand pontiac fiero. Oh and a Rwd group B thingy of some kind.

 

The only thing I want for the Wendover are gaudy body-colored aluminum wheels.

 

All I want is Wendover

 

Which will I get first: Soliad Wendover or covid vaccine

I hope there's a styling package that makes it look more like this:

 

I think the most logical conclusion there would be a probably OEM group 5/B spec, if they did it right they could make very competitive rally and circuit specs.

I could see them taking a leaf from the porsche 959 and making an AWD version for the rally spec, but I personally hope they don't, as the general ungainliness of a bolide is what makes it so rewarding to drive.

 

I think that interior colour options (like tan) are a pretty safe bet.

 

Going back to Wendover speculations, do you think it will have an AWD conversion? For all we know, it shares many things with the LeGran & that car is supposedly getting AWD, so not having that on the Wendover would kind of be a missed opportunity... But also, do you think that if it were to have AWD, it would have an option for RWD as well? The Cherrier, boxy Pessima etc. all have FWD/AWD options yet by taking out front halfshafts (or the whole diff) you can make them RWD really easily

So many things to speculate

 

The old pessima has a RWD transfer case, actually.

 

We can assume as Legran and Wendover are partsbin cars, they are going to share parts with the wagon version of the car. Also, this has probably been said but the Legran has a transfercase.jbeam (only with FWD). However, based on the partsbin assumption and jbeam files, my best guess is that the wendover will have a factory or aftermarket AWD.
