Update Speculation thread

Looks amazing!!!

 

It used to be one of carkiller's mods. Looks like they made it official, like it much deserves to be

 

what's up with the new abs system that was teased?

 

Will be interesting if they can squeeze it in for 0.27.

 

when was this?

With the new ABS, I also noticed a tool for measuring the braking distances. Unless it's already in the game and I haven't noticed, it too should definitely be included in the game, along with the tool for setting up a drag race between two or more vehicles (also shown in the drag race Diamondback showed us between the Vivace S 410Q Arsenic and the RWD and AWD Scintillas, to make us understand how quick the AWD Scintilla GTx is in acceleration from a standstill).

 

You can already measure braking distances with the performance timers app. It measures 0-62 and braking from any speed-0. It may measure some other stuff, but that’s all I’ve ever seen it report.

 

I agree with that but the performance timers app seems a bit difficult to use. It may just be me though.

It's good separating the old ABS from the new one because it can show the differences in driving aid technology between the older and the newer cars.
But in any case, I think the ABS, old or new, should be included in the "Driving & Safety Electronics" slot of all cars, old and new, because it's a part of the driving aids suite too, no matter how primitive or advanced that suite might be, depending on the car.

 

What do you think we are going to see in todays/tomorrows (most likely happening) teaser tuesday? I think it’ll be about the etk remaster. Either way, I’m looking forward to it

What I would like to see even more is a way to measure the cars 100-200 time. That would be great to see how much aerodynamics affect high speed acceleration and you could compare high performance cars better because there won’t be wheelspin

 

Yeah, ETK is possible.
You're right, plus it's also gonna be better for showing the gear changing strengths and weaknesses of the gearboxes.

 

I hope part of the ABS remaster is that older cars ABS is worse than modern ABS. Maybe even a race version of ABS

 

There's an app on the repo that can do it: https://www.beamng.com/resources/0-100-timer.19654/

 

maybe something akin to Assetto Corsa version of the abs where you can change the strength on the fly together with traction control

 

The old and less advanced ABS is most certainly gonna be kept in the older cars, of course. A Race ABS makes perfect sense for the Race Electronics slot in the parts selector of the modern cars while race cars will certainly need it.
I just thought of a new kind of ABS for when the modern cars are equipped with the normal Driving & Safety Electronics: a mode-adjustable ABS. For example when you put the cars on Corse/ttSport/Arsenic/Savage/Sport+ modes, the ABS gets on Race mode too and when you put the cars back on Caged/Normal/Comfort/Strada modes, the ABS gets adapted accordingly. It can even be adjusted for off road use, in the Off Road mode of the FCVs.

 

I’ve got that timer but I didn’t know you could change the speed which is supposed to be measured, thanks. The only problem here is, that the timer settings will be reset every time you open a menu or close the game. An official timer would still be the better option

 

This is an ingame issue. Does this with the wind app

 

I would like to see aftermarket clutches to get implemented by now. Cool to see they working on the car systems further!
