Update Speculation thread

Judging by how there's going to be a vehicle trigger for the sunshades (as shown in a teaser), I wouldn't be suprised at all if there's a trigger for that! Makes you wonder what else may be interactable in the Ardente...

 

They don't mean fully separate vehicles lol, just separate in the selector like how the MD bus is under wentward

 

Yeah, it'll probably be the week of the 3rd, at this rate (three weeks from now). I don't think we'll be waiting until mid-August (like 0.17) for the PC release, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The 24th is a Friday - we haven't had a Friday update in almost seven years (0.17 was the last one). While it's not nearly as silly as guessing the 12th, I think the 24th is also a goofy date to guess. IMO, if a day of the week hasn't had an update since 0.25, it's highly unlikely we'll ever get an update on that day ever again.

The big reason why the Charro was never split from the D-Series was because it would've meant more things in the common folder (and thus, more lag). That's probably changed, if the devs are willing to split the T- and TC-Series, but those two probably have less in common with each other than the Charro and D-Series.

The Charro has a shorter frame and a different style of body to the D-Series - the Tograc is some new panels and a different rear suspension over the Vivace. If the Tograc is going to be split from the Vivace in the vehicle selector, then the Charro should, as well. (And that's not considering the Autobuggy (which shares practically no parts with the Piccolina) or the MR Turbo Covet (a different unibody and engine position from the regular Covet).)

 

Its only in the vehicle selector, not in the files. Read more before complaining

 

To speculate on top of my speculation, now I'm wondering if the seat controls with WASD will actually move the seat and not just the camera.

 

Ah. What do you mean by the bus being under Wentward, did I miss something or..?
--- Post updated ---

How was I supposed to know you meant that? Every place I've seen worded the separation as being fully separate. I'm sorry, but I couldn't know.

 

I drive a lifted ranger so that totally counts as a compact car tf you mean we all drive trucks? Seriously though. If you even take away Beamng, you know these developers are excellent car designers. New car is gonna be my new Fast and Furious simulator.

 

but ford ranger is a pickup truck and it's not that compact, yes it's smaller than f-150, but imo it's too big to be called compact, maybe if it was sized like aussie ford falcons (i know they're utes and not regular pickups)

 

But the Ford Falcon is a big executive car, isn't it? A Fiat Strada or VW Caddy is what I’d call a compact pickup.

 

Maybe the orange peel effect appears due to lighting? French cars usually have smooth paintjobs from factory, from what I've observed. Saw a Mercedes next to a Peugeot and somehow the "luxurious" Merc was the one with the peel paint.

 

I will say that I think the interior of the Ardente is my favourite Cherrier interior to date. I love that dashboard/gauge cluster design, LOVE that it has a mostly round steering wheel rather than the rectangular design seen in the FCV, and I also appreciate the little BeamNG logo on the wireless charging pad

Also, side note, but that blue on tan is just beautiful IMO

 

I haven't used the FCV much, and even through I find regular cars more interesting than sports cars, the Ardente is just so funky looking that it may become a favourite of mine.
And yeah, that body colour is beautiful

 

Devs said they were adding the effect.

 

I wonder if that'll appear in career mode since higher mile cars have faded paint
Edit: I responded the wrong post

 

U good dude And yes the school bus is a wentward. Sort your selector by brand, and the but will appear separate under wentward.

 

I believe the update is coming on either the 21st or 22nd as those days tuesday and wednesday which for the past few years are the normal days for an update to drop

 

I've seen a lot of people saying that new ps5 players are going to come in the game thinking it's just another arcade game with arcade handling where you hit a ramp at 150mph in a lambo and land on some street 200 some odd feet below with no damage. I know there's no way to prevent this from happening 100%, but a good idea for the devs would be to release a video sort of like the one below.

 

Maybe some players for sure, but Beam isn't an entirely unknown game. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who know exactly what they're getting into. It would be a good idea on the devs part though, I agree. Not everyone has heard or seen it before.

 

Canada has an equally big obsession with large, 3 row SUVs and crew cab trucks. The Ford F-Series is lterally amongst Canada's best selling cars

 

But most of the brand new vehicles around here are actual cars, ignoring the F150, RAV4 and CRV
