    Yes, that`s not a vehicle suggestion. Sadly, we can talk with devs only in 2-3 threads and only one time per 2-3 days. And only about one question. So here is my idea: make an AMA (ask-me-anything) session with devs, maybe this weekend (ofc if you like this idea)?
    And, if you liked it and are still readin, so maybe, we can make such a session every month, huh?
    updated: It could be like a thread, but, imo, stream on Twitch or somewhere else will look much better

    I think having an AMA like thing with the devs would be great.

    Twitch and youtube streams are common. Google hangouts too (although that links back to youtube). Most I see are reddit though.

    Yeah, that`s a good time. So are you going to stream it or make it as a topic?

    Reddit is always a good place for an AMA, and its comment structure encourages back and forth discussion that's easier to follow than a thread on this this forum, so shall we do it in /r/BeamNG?

    Reddit would be the best place IMO. I feel like a decent number of people here don't have the best internet, and I know that I would be unable to participate in a twitch/youtube livestream. Many people may be at work or at school during the AMA, and reddit is a great place to use at work/school Plus Tdev wouldn't have to show his face, as I think hes a little camera shy.

    I realise that but if they did a massive 24 hour stream from Friday into Saturday would that work instead?

    Okay I admit that is THE WORST IDEA EVER to do a 24 hour live stream but think about the insight it would give into the Devs work in Germany...

    So, reddit will be a good place. I thought bout livestream a bit - it's kinda uncomfortable for many people, coz of timezones. E.g. - i have GMT+7 here, and somebody from US has GMT-4. So it is too hard to do.

    its 20 till the AMA, and we still have no info. Where it is, who will be participating. They really like keeping us in the dark until the last second.
