Update Speculation thread

Well engine sounds are more so just placeholder samples anyway, the only car that has proper unique sounds has to be the FCV platform atm.

 

I'd say all cars sound properly realistic, I don't find any reason for the sounds to be changed. Well, except for the Hirochi Sunburst and the modern ETKs with the gas 4-cylinder, these cars could have more refined 4-cylinder sounds! But yeah, can't find a reason for the rest of them why they don't sound realistic!

 

bruh half of the cars have the same i4 sample

 

There are vanilla V6s, sure, but none of them is found in an FR configuration (and we're not counting the FF configurations that turn into FR with a RWD Transfer Case )! The new car may change this!

 

It's not they doesn't sound realistic, it's more they could have more varied sounds, that are more period-correct.

 

True that but, apart from the modern ETKs and the Sunburst, all the other cars are quite old! The Inline-4 sound of the old cars is coarse and not too muffled, therefore fitting well to the specific chronologies of each of them! Only the Sunburst and the modern ETKs need this sound changed!
--- Post updated ---

Hmmm... I find the current "old Inline-4 sound" to be OK for the 4-cylinders that were made from the 60s (Miramar) to the 90s ('96 Pessima, Hopper, LeGran). Besides, the rattliness is already varied between the cars based on their chronologies! I don't say you're wrong, don't get me wrong, I just think they're OK as they are now (unless the Team finds a good way of showing us the opposite - your "period-correct" phrase is very true in this case).

 

But what about the Civetta Bolide?

 

Wait till everyone, including me (a supporter of the GM successor idea) realizes that the devs don't actually create lore till they see what everyone likes, and then just name the car from there.

 

I mean, it's pretty obvious it's trying to be some kind of very large sport sedan, plus it's not quite refined enough to be completely European

 

update: nvm went right over my head https://twitter.com/beamng/status/1442896888869576705

 

About engine sounds. Where it is true that same type of engine would sound similar the way how it is build also matters. Is it have flat plane crank or crossplane or other? What is the firing order? Is this a SOHC or DOHC? How manifold exhaust looks like, how many mufflers etc.

So for example K-series with I4 engine should sound a little bit different than a Sunburst with I4 engine. However they sound very similar in game and if you take off the exhaust they sound exactly the same.

 

My bad! I meant *modern* V6. But in any case, we don't have any V6 FR layout cars, as pointed out earlier in this thread. The Dodge Charger is FR and FA, so maybe we will get both? Also, I know about the superchargers in the game, but I wanted to hear the supercharger whine on a modern car, as it is one of those things only reserved for extremely fast muscle cars, which BeamNG doesn't have, and no, the K-Series isn't supercharged. (even though I love it)

Hadn't thought about the differences between the OHV/SOHC/DOHC intakes and the firing order! Also, the crossplane crankshaft sounds are more "crunchy" than the flatplane ones and the flatplane crankshaft is represented by the Bolide (besides, this is shown in the game files, where there's a "flatplane sound" IIRC)!
The 4-cylinder ETK K-Series sounding the same as the Sunburst is absolutely wrong! It should sound more like the 4-cylinder FCVs!

 

I will hope to see in this update

-Gavril h series remaster
-possibly has a sliding door on the right side this would add to the realism of the van itself and make it possible to add my next item on the list.
-my next item is a passenger van and this in my opinion would be super cool and as well as add to the realism I said before also without the item before on this list it wouldn't be possible to add the passenger configuration.
-lastly something to change with cargo what i mean by this is they should have more presets for cargo in the van other than just wood planks.

- New car
-This is pretty controversial but I think it should have some sort of v6/v8 but the v6 variant should instead of a supercharger like we have in the saliad and the legran it should be a v6 turbocharged because in America there really isn't any of those vehicle's other than older cars for example Pontiac grand prix GTP it had a 3.8 litre supercharged like the Wendover so it just doesn't fit in a modern luxury car.
-engine choices possibly a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder with around 237 horsepower as a base engine this would also be pared to a 8 speed 9 speed or a 10 speed automatic also having 2 higher horsepower engine choices a 3.0 twin turbocharged v6 and for possibly a special model 6.2 litre v8 making around 600 horsepower now this sounds like alot but for you folks that don't live in the USA the "fast" car standard would be around 500-700 horsepower and this is also for not just the usa but for multiple different countries are standards have risen so I think this car should get this.
- The car I related this to that I haven't seen anyone relate the new car to is the Cadillac ct5 and the Cadillac ct5v blackwing

-new sounds for not just the new car but for different cars I understand the devs did mention this but I find it super interesting to see what happens with sounds and how it changes the feel of the vehicle in game.

but thats the main things I really hope the devs can possibly pull off if this car ends up being american.

 

Another piece of support for it being an American car, the song "Paradise City", by the American rock band Guns N' Roses, refers to the "somewhere in the [American] midwest".

"the verses are more about being in the jungle; the chorus is like being back in the Midwest or somewhere."

 

I think that based on one extremely tiny detail that means absolutely nothing theres gonna be a new Bolide and wentwards

 

Weeeee neeeeeeeeed iiittttt!!! (Insert Spongebob sound effect here)
We may be goofing around in the comments but the truth is that if the BeamNG Team wanted to give us more information about the new content of the 0.24 Update, then they would've already done it. Patience is key!

 

OK so we know we getting a new car.
But what else will come in 4 to 10 weeks in the update
New wheels
new prob?
New remaster


I think IF just IF this is a Full size US car depending on brand we may get a
part 2 GM remaster or a moonhawk remaster.


I also hope this car has a Bonkers fast version.
The ETKs never felt fast IMO ( i do enjoy them )

 

i think the new car will have leathery cushion seats, along with xenon headlights

 

did anyone notice the qr code on the left hand side?
