Update Speculation thread

The most likely explanation is he (or she) doesn't have enough free time

 

No. The difference cones from firing order.

 

A minivan in Beam would be great, but unlikely. The only relation that the Pessima and the Kashira have is that they are based on the same platform. Also, Car_Killer HAS been working on the mod quite a bit, such as introducing PBR and fixing all of the No Texture issues. He has kept the modified mod private as he will have to ask everyone who initially worked on the mod in order to release it, but he did upload a picture to the documentation here. Why would he still be working on the mod (and labeling it as an early WIP screenshot) if he knew it was coming in the remaster?

 

my hot guess the Pessima will receive a Coupe bodystyle since it would fit the 2000s Coupe niche very well but lets see!

 

It would indeed be awesome if electric drivetrains would have the same driveline options as their ICE counterparts. Not even sure why the devs didnt add them in the firstplace.... it isnt that much work I would assume.

Interestingly, the electric Vivace does not use the electronic differential (brake based E-Diff) as the instant torque nature of electric motors and resulting significant usage at spirited driving tends to overheat the brakes much sooner than its ICE counterparts (that do use it)

 

At first I thought it's not technically possible for a normal electric car to have an LSD because the electric motor is right in the middle of the axle but then I saw the Nissan Ariya having an LSD in its highest performing version so yeah, BeamNG could very well integrate LSDs in the electric drivetrains!
But before the LSD integration, I think the "ESC/TC - Electric Motors" systems have to go through further development in order to support both Open and LSD/Active/Torque Vectoring/Locking/Electronically Locking/Welded diffs. And then, why not, the devs could also develop a version of this system for hybrid or electric drivetrains with an electric motor in each wheel. Who knows?

P.S.: I think it's the Nissan Ariya, I'm not 100% sure. But I certainly noticed this technology!

 

So i was reading this https://wiki.beamng.com/Modeling_and_Texturing_Guide and under the final texturing paragraph there's This
So possibly soon maybe?

 

If it's on the wiki, then it's most likely ancient and probably doesn't mean anything, not to mention that anyone could edit the wiki back when it was open.

 

It's also VERY inaccurate. Old cars were loud, but the older V8 is just as noisy as the newer one. Also, the cam profile is too tame for the pre-emissions large engines. If you take a look at the exhaust system of the bluebuck or barstow, you'll see it's only got a pair of mufflers. Realistically, the cars would be significantly louder than most of the other cars in-game.

 

Heres a 63 Impala SS with the three fiddy engine at idle. I imagine this one is close to stock standard. might give you an idea on idle volume.

 

My god, just a beautiful machine.. i love them!

 

I feel like the editor could get updated soon. Does anyone else feel like it could?

 

its almost the mid of November

 

Gorgeous car!
Wish there were more of them, old and new...

 

We’ve been over this. They said middle of November AT EARLIEST. I think it’s going tobe around thanksgiving

 

ok and

 

EDIT: Nevermind.

 

No. TDev said the earliest will be mid November. There was never a date given for the other limit of that interval.

We know they weren't planning on releasing an update before mid-November, but we don't know anything more than that. Maybe it will be a Thanksgiving update, or maybe a Christmas update. We don't know.

 

Christmas. Mark my words, boys. But this will be a thicc xmas gift!

 

ok
