Update Speculation thread

-demands to see evidence he is wrong-
-posts *eh cant be bothered* when shown evidence he asked for-

alright buddy cant help the ignorant
--- Post updated ---
Also here

 

m8 ignorant while his profile clearly shows he aint a dev.

yeah sure.
im ignorant bc i choose to believe in actual proof, aka his profile badge which all devs are based on to see if they are devs or not.

what a great delusional forum.

oh great he was on the team for 2-3 years. so freaking what? he is STILL A DEV RIGHT NOW?
no.
holy shit people cant read or understand jack shit in this cesspool of a forum

 

i dont recall saying he was a dev? if you could show the post where i said right now he was a dev i would love to see it

all i recall doing was showing evidence he was a dev and did official content, some of it recently in the pigeon and d series

 

can you guys stop fighting your derailing this thread

 

LOL.
so we are both arguing for nothing.

i know he was a dev. what im saying is that he is no longer a dev.

all im arguing about is that he aint a dev no more.

 

it just seemed like you where here to pick a fight...

 

nah, all i did was reply to this kid to say he is no longer a dev.

after that nobody understood what i said and started arguing he was still a dev.
seems like reading isnt what this forum does best.

 

no was was arguing he was a dev for the past like 10 minutes

lets just drop it here and move on ok? it has nothing to do with the update

 

LMAO.

You just noticed that? Everyone asking for release dates for X thing even though something was already said about that, what about ppl ignoring big red text at the bottom of their screen and then proceed to bump months/years old posts?

And let's not forget all of those who don't properly read or understand replies. Your argument here would've ended a long while ago if ppl just read.

Roflmao

Nobody here reads, should be clearly obvious lol everyone just blows whatever you say out of proportions & twist your words to something you don't mean.

 

Exactly. As someone else on here once said, most people don't even actually read the forum rules when signing up, but just carelessly scrooll through and click agree like on any other terms and conditions prompt (which is essentially what the rules are)

 

Well, in an attempt to get this thread back on topic...

I have a theory. I could be completely wrong, but hear me out.

It’s about the engines. See, we’ve been getting “remastered car + 1 new car” style updates for 3 updates, iirc first one being 0.22. One thing I found interesting was that the remastered cars and the new ones share very similar engines:

• 0.22 — Wendover had different i4s and V6s, same with the Legran
• 0.23 — Pigeon and Wigeon both had a selection of i3s (I think?) and i4s
• 0.24 — this one doesn’t rly count since we didn’t get a new car, but 2 remastered cars
• 0.24.1 — Bastion and Bolide both had V8s, albeit with very different displacement sizes
• 0.25 — right, so here’s my theory: as far as I know, most supercars have a “poor man’s base model”. If this trend continues, I wouldn’t be surprised if the new Civetta will have a V6 engine for the cheapest model, and hence the Group B-ish Covet might also have a V6? Maybe?

Again, this ‘trend’ might just be purely coincidental, but its smth I found interesting nevertheless.

 

I find it rather unlikely that the new Civetta supercar would have a V6, they would probably save that for a seperate model. It would be cool to get an aftermarket Bolide V8 or even Gavril OHC swap.

 

Yeah, I have to agree to that, now that you mentioned it. On that note, I think the modern Civetta might have a V10 or V12, and of that's the case, then it might explain why development is taking so long. I mean, it would be the first vanilla car to have either of these engine types. A lot of work is probably needed for a completely new engine.

We’ll see I guess.

 

you're right, it was almost seven years ago, in 2015. the pigeon used to have that weird belted-steering front fork setup, remember?


As for the talks of engines in the civetta, I'd imagine they want to spread out the performance range like the SBR and Bolide already are. I could see them modelling it off mclaren's lineup, using various tunes of N/A and turbo V8s. it's not inconceivable that they might also jam a V12 in there.
However, I can't help but feel like the front teaser we've been given looks like an electric variant.
maybe I'm just seeing a resemblance to the lotus evija, but I think a ~2000hp electric hypercar which can blow the doors off even an eSBR800 would be worthwhile.

 

Fun fact; we reached the 2077 page on this thread!

 

On another "trend", BeamNG seems to be adding facelifts and new looks for cars when they get remastered. The LeGran, D-Series, H-Series, Roamer and Bolide all got pre/post facelift versions, and while the Pigeon didn't get any, it got the Wigeon which is essentially a different body on the same chassis. I wonder if there will be an updated look for the remastered Covet as well.

 

@crashmaster his profile DOES say this:

I don't know why he hasn't got the dev banner but he clearly does stuff at beamng.

 

I forgot about it tbh.

This means a 6x6 Covet is still possible lol.
