Update Speculation thread

What I hope for is more engines for the Moonhawk.

Actual low-priced midsizers from that time had a wide variety of engines (250/250/225, 307/302/318, 350/351/360, 400s, 454/460/440), but the dev team just threw an I6 and a V8 in and walked away for 8 years.

 

I'm hopeful for a landau top, oh and a T Top body style as a few personal luxury coupes had T Top body styles back in the 70's.

 

another thing to consider with the moonhawk, the legran remaster brought with it the wendover, and the pigeon remaster brought the wigeon, so the moonhawk will likely have a platform cousin introduced with its remaster. but what could it be?
the first possibility I consider is a 70s unibody compact, resembling a gremlin/pinto/vega. It goes with their current theme of vehicles which are underrepresented in other games, and could have quite the variety for content, but it wouldn't share any of the floorpan being unibody, and it would likely encroach on the moonhawk and legran's territory in some places.
Alternatively, I'd somewhat expect another soliad counterpart, perhaps a 70s wendover, resembling various enormous FWD Personal luxury coupes of the era.
alternatively, they may plop the drivetrain of this into a more heavily redesigned car, possibly going as far as something corvette-ish.

 

I totaly agree with the fact the there's a possibility to have a Soliad variant of the Moonhawk.

A sedan and a Wagon would fit perfectly for different Moonhawk's bodies !

 

If the Wendover follows in the Pontiac Bonneville's footsteps, the predecessor would most likely be something similar to the Bluebuck but more premium and sporty.


Talking about American Fullsize cars. the Grand Marshall chassis would allow for a 1980's fullsize sedan as real life equivalents used chassis dating back to the late 70's.

 

Moonhawk was one ( in 2013 ) Advanced cars for the time.
The engine mesh was the most detailed for the day. Now Even with a Moving fan.

Then there was the mod that gave us wagons utes sedans. And more.

Sadly the years went on and i dont use it anymore. With some things added in 2015ish.


But i think this car needs a remaster IMO

 

Yeah that's true, even if I think that some Japanese cars need to be remastered....

Anyway, with any car, a remaster is always a good news !

 

I would like to see a 1979-1981 moonhawk

 

This is not a place to say what you want to see in the game, this is to say what you think we will see in the game. There are multiple threads for the former.

 

Correction. This is place what we think we will see in game with some kind evidence. That last part makes a huge difference.

 

So today's update added a box (in map editor) saying that pbr will include ground materials but it makes it impossible to save custom textures so that has to be done thru json file ;<

 

I want to see an IROC-Z

 

we literally just had this discussion

 

thats cool i want you to learn the definition of speculation

 

Yes my apologies

 

Is this glowing brake discs?
Tried to recreate it with a cop car behind the camera to light up the rear wheel, but could not get the brake disc that bright red.

Update: I managed to recreate it kind off, so guess false alarm, no glowing brakes for now.

 

Yeah I think that it's just a red beacon, and that the disc brake glows more than the steel wheel. Btw we can see that the chrome hubcap is also glowing in red

 

What a pretty teasing!
Maybe for the next update?

(ok, i'm the last guy to see that, right? ^^)

 

Really? This has been mentioned 2 posts above... as a red light reflection. Did people not read that thread? It wouldn't be surprising.

 

Who pissed in your cornflakes?
