Update Speculation thread

you mean the procon ten system that the audi 80 had?

 

i have a good one, you know how in modern cars, under emergency braking the tailights flash rapidly during braking, you could impliment that for the ETK K and 800 series, hirochi sunburst and SBR4 and other modern cars in gmae

 

No, but that is a good example of an odd safety feature that never caught on. I'm not sure how you would simulate it in beam though.

 

Pulling the steering wheel back, like this?

 

I managed to get a few different ones.


Nice touch to the old 404 error page guys.

 

See: http://www.beamng.com/threads/general-discussion.7384/page-1352#post-452578

 

I deliberately typed in something that didn't exist so I could check it out that page.

 

If you would actually read the text in the image, that would be great

 

Don't some cars have a thing where the speedometer and tach freeze in place after a crash to help insurance and investigations? Like if you crash at 25mph the needle will be stuck at 25 until you reset. That might be a good idea if it's a common feature.

 

That might not work as the needles sometimes become offset in the game, if thats fixed it would be good

 

um they dont stop moving...
the needles just crash and jam

 

A lot of the time crashes will leave the dash perfectly intact, and the needles will still stay in their place. The ammount of force needed to actually jam the needles in the dashboard would be equivalent to crashing at 60mph into a brick wall probably.

 

In some cars the hazard lights blink very fast when you apply full brakes... Also, Hill Assist and Start/Stop functions would be nice (with switches to turn them of, like ESC).

Edit: Oh, almost forgot! Volkswagen has foglights with a "cornering" function on them.

 

What foglights cornering?

 

Im fairly sure he just means that when you turn left or right the headlights tut. aswell to assist vision becuase when you are turning left, you look left aswell meaning that is the direction the headlights need to be pointing. Im fairly sure the Nissan r35 has this feature because they said it corners so quickly, if the lights didnt move you would basically be blind as you cannot tell what is ahead without.

 

- Cornering lights, as they are modeled in ETK 800 series, and maybe cheap version for sunburst, that when you turn front foglight turn on too. (obviously when you turn left, only left foglight lights up)

- Realistic Start/Stop system, as in modern ETKs tachometer indicates this cars would have this feature irl.

- Electronic speedlimit like i.ex. my uncles Audi A6 4.2L V8 - it's locked to 255km/h wheel speed ~260km/h indicated by very acurate GPS - (yeah we tested it )

- Automatic lights, would work the same way as now, just by switching options by pressing N (off/auto/low/high) - I mean modern cars have "auto" function and while it's day it only uses day lights, while it's darker it light up automaticaly low beams, rear lights and license plate lights, should also work while you stay in shadow and entering tunnel or it's raining/foggy.

- And the most important for every BeamNG.drive player - working A/C and heated seats for our comfort while driving

 

you forgot to mention parking camera/assistant

 

I guess those are parking lights (Standlicht, not sure if it's the right english term).
Anyways, good ideas

 

What would be the poin..........oh i see you could simulate the blowing sound that comes from the A/C vents.

Would like to have a non ac version of the covet because in my country New Zealand they used to assemble cars (to keep jobs basically) and it was fairly common for assembly plants to not install Air Conditioning in average vehicles.

 

I mean ETK 800 series, my bad. (corrected)

Anyway this one that isn't lit up looks like cornering lamp, that's why I suggested this.

It is was obvious sarcasm.
