So I looked at the calendar, and the 3rd of August (Beamng will turn 8 years then) is Tuesday, so there is a chance that the update will be released then. Small speculation from me
Given that March was a little early this year, I think Jakux is spot on with his early August expectation, but if the devs are reading this, I expect early July at the latest
I make my estimation by adding the average time span between update to the last major update date, nothing more than this simple calculation is involved to get the date estimation
We haven't gotten a new map in a while... Or we could have this thing in walk mode, where you can like, pick stuff up without using the nodegrabber, some sort of thing like in FS19 if anyone knows what I'm talking about. As for a map, I'm thinking a Alaska based map would be cool. We have City, Country, Desert, Italy, anyone else on my thought path?
I doubt we'll be getting another American map anytime soon just given how the vast majority of maps are American.
America's a big place with an unusual amount of geographical diversity - no other country has quite the same span of inhabited terrain.
Of course. However look at the map balance right now. USA: Cliff East Coast Utah West Coast Small Island Hirochi Raceway Industrial Site Derby Arenas Jungle Rock Island Non-USA: ETK DEC Italy Automation Test Track There are 3x more "real world" maps set in the United States than ones in any other country.
They're non-American, so it would be more variety. Canada would be fine as long as it's not the east coast, which would be a bit too similar to ECA. Do note that a snowy map could be set in a lot more places than just traditionally "snowy" countries.
Imo we have more than enough North American maps at the moment. Pretty much every other continent is underrepresented.
I mean, they could do a map based on the Alps (Switzerland, Germany, Italy borders) or I think this is less likely but still possible, a map based on the Himalayas (Nepal, northeast India and I’m not sure what other countries, since that would technically count as an asian map
I am pretty much sure the next few maps won´t be in America. We have no Asian or African maps, so these will probably come first. Also, I doubt we are going to get a map set in the Arctic/Antarctica, as there are no roads there. If we would get another 5 maps, they would come in this order (in my opinion): Japan (Asia) Egypt (Africa) Finland (Europe) India (Asia) Russia (Europe/Asia) + ETKDEC remaster - basically a whole new German map
My predictions are more like this: ETK DEC remake (Germany) Japanese map French map UK map Australian map Russian map I'm really unsure about the latter two, but the former four seem like very likely locations to me.
