You mean a 1979+ model year? Historically speaking all of the counterpart cars were either discontinued or downsized after that generation.
There are already non-functional door and seatbelt lights in the Bastion's gauge cluster too. Probably for career mode. Will most likely be added to all of the modern cars where it would make sense in such a scenario.
That's very nice! Now some functional upper-panel lighting has to be added! There are some BeamNG cars which already have the base for it (the FCVs, the Wendover, the Wigeon, the Bastion are those I remember having it)! --- Post updated --- We say this because there has to be a good differentiation factor between the BeamNG brands. ETK is the Inline-6 brand, Cherrier has the Inline-5 as its hallmark, Gavril and Bruckell are well known for their V8s, Ibishu is the Inline-4 brand, so why can't Hirochi make the Flat engines (either Flat-4s or Flat-6s or, why not, both - plus the boxer diesel niche to be filled) as its Unique Selling Point? The same is also true about the 6-cylinder engines of Gavril and Bruckell. Gavril has its renowned Inline-6 (which started as a 3.8l/232ci in 1962, powering the Bluebuck, and evolved into the 4.1l for the 1986 model year) and this engine made it until the 2017 model year powering the H-Series, so it could definitely get a modern Inline-6 successor at around 3.5 - 4.0l of displacement. Gavril is also famed for the 8.9 TCM and 10.6 TCX diesel Inline-6s put in the Wentward DT40-L and in the Gavril T-Series respectively. On the other hand, in the 70s, Bruckell had the 4.0l/244ci Inline-6 for the Moonhawk but they switched to V6 engines for the 1984 model year (during which the LeGran was introduced) and they keep the V6 configuration to this day, with the Bastion. And because both the Inline-6s and the V6s of both these American brands are mounted longitudinally nowadays, it's very important for the brands to keep a certain degree of differentiation, which comes by the engines' own configurations. Having the same engines to all cars can be pretty darn boring!
we are gonna need rotarys for sure... imo it should either be ibishu or a completely new company. we also dont have any v12s yet. either civetta or ETK should get on that.
interesting that the bastion is literally called chrysler300c in this lol, guess they knew the kind of car they were making the stuff for but not the name
Yep! A Japanese brand is the best for taking the role of the Rotary brand. I agree, the candidates for this are either Ibishu or a totally new brand, a Japanese brand for that matter. V12s could elevate ETK's luxury status but I'm not so sure about Civetta. Only if there's a model different enough from the Bolide, which already is very characteristic.
Probably a bit off topic but last night I literally had a dream that I was driving around in beam and there was dynamic dirt accumulation and mud particles that got stuck to the car when I drove off road. Another weird part of the dream: the car looked a like a mix of modern Ford ranger and Toyota Hilux (from what I can remember) which is NOT something that the game has right now. Therefore I speculate that in some update in the future both dynamic dirt/ mud accumulation and a vehicle based on the current Ford Ranger and/or Toyota Hilux will be added to the game.
Are we really speculating based on dreams we had? Because I had a dream that 0.25 is a completely ridiculously massive update, with an etk 800, etk k, and moonhawk remaster, a new GTR/Supra/RX7-esque JDM tuner car italy remaster, a new germany map, career mode, and a whole bunch of minor yet. this led to the game getting a crap ton of new players the following day and making its way rapidly into the list of mainstream car games. But, again, this was a dream. Now, just a question, anyone know exactly where they said that the 200bx will get the garvil v8? idk why i thought that, just kinda want to know.
I also got some weird dream taking beamng content. I was playing some game, with large Gavril D15 model. We ruining entire city except Gavril. Later I teleported into beamng, and I was driving Some car like BMW. I got overheated engine, and I crashed with some another car (I don't remember by what one is inspired). End of dream --- Post updated --- Maybe if it was being added, then it will be swap
Okay this is actually quite weird, but I did once have a dream about an 80s boxy blue sedan that I'd never seen before, and the last thing I remember was seeing it drift away from me into a corner. The next morning, this was posted on Devblog 1. It looked exactly like the one in my dreams. Weird.
How about Hirochi? It could become a sort of visionary company that believes in uncommon engine layouts (flat-4s and rotaries)
It’s cause I can see the future /s Seriously though, most of what I said is sarcasm but I still don’t rule out the possibility of a smaller truck slotted below the D-series, whether it be a Gavril or an Ibishu, Hirochi or other asian brand. Heck, they could give it a twist and make it an ETK, similar to VW Amarok pickup (hopefully I got the name right)
