Yeah, I'm pretty sure that this is just a bug. I remember the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser/Regency mod did this a few versions ago (not sure if it still does), so it's nothing new. Plus, like others have said, it isn't how brake lights work in the real world. Accurate light simulation certainly would be a nice touch, though.
yeah i agree this is my annoyingly large wishlist for an autobello remaster -better interior -better model -better physical skeleton -coupe/fastback 1968 porsche 911 styled thing -more configs -plastification era parts -classic fiat multipla body -USDM parts
I personally wouldn't put the Burnside or 800/K Series anywhere near the Moonhawk/T-Series for necessity of a remaster. The Moonhawk visually looks straight out of 2014 BeamNG, and the T-Series is only marginally better. While the '53 Special's engine textures certainly aren't amazing, the rest of the platform holds up well against the newer cars in game, in some ways it's even better than the Bluebuck's. And while the 800 isn't up to the current standards, I'd easily put it above the Moonhawk. Spoiler: Frames Side note: My camera was absolutely freaking out with the T-Series, is anyone else having camera issues with that one?.. It's worth noting that the T-Series does not have features like engine mounts or an oil pan. It's a similar story with interiors, where the Moonhawk looks like it's ported from a 15 year old game. While the 800/K and Burnside aren't up to cars like the Vivace, they aren't that bad. Spoiler: Interior As for customization, none of the cars on this list are great, so there isn't much point in deciding which of these are least bad. But as for potential to realized content ratio, I wouldn't say the ETKs are as bad as the others in this group. The Moonhawk has to be the worst for potential to realized content atm, as that thing probably could be up there with the D-Series if it got everything that it could have. I previously made posts about the potential Gavril T75 content and Moonhawk content (in the LeGran's thread because this thing doesn't have a thread for itself -_-.
You have to remember that the k series and 800 got light remasters when pbr came as well, and have plenty of configurations and mods
Yes but they still have imperfections on them. Plus the engine options don't include engines other than Inline-4s and -6s.
Regarding remasters I can't help but feeling in a hamster wheel... When we'll finish the current cycle of remasters (maybe 2 years from now) the first remasters will be in need of a remaster and... here we go again... Remember, this game is still in alpha... I know that there are different teams for cars, maps, physics, controls, sound... and ?game play? but does it make sense for a game still in this stage after so many years to focus on fine tuning or adding configurations to current vehicles? There is a thing called modding that should satisfy the need of adding V8s to whatever car however senseless, so what's with this remaster without game craze?
Why are we now advocating for the community to do the devs job? Why is the idea of game developers developing a game now a thing up for debate? Bringing content up to current standards is not something that should be controversial, and the idea of the community finishing an explicitly not-finished vehicle instead of the game devs is absurd. What is this, Bethesda or EA now? It's not like ignoring content and letting quality standards be all over the place will improve gameplay; a good game needs both. And how is a V8 K/800-Series not sensible when IRL counterparts have V8 options, and the vehicle team director specifically said bigger engines will be available for her?
hear me out here, i think that the next update will bring, since it's the 25th update, something REALLY big i think that we may get a late 1970's version of the Barstow based off of a 1977-1981 camaro, and even another car that i'm gonna call the Burnside Phoenix as just sort of a placeholder, based off the legendary-ish 1977-1981 pontiac firebird, both cars including targa tops, drag versions, derby variants, and some other stuff also this is just sort of a "i want dis ting", but maybe a mountainous map based in southeastern europe could exist damn i just made a whole text wall on something that probably won't ever happen
I'd say their feel is just what someone expects a modern German car to exude, tbh. --- Post updated --- Very well said mate, these are exactly the words I was thinking (plus the 1.5 Inline-3 couple of gas and diesel choices for the engine options, since even an engine like that makes sense in a car being about the size and weight of the Cherrier Vivace )!
though it should also be mentioned that the legran's remaster seems to have been fast tracked to coincide with the release of the wendover. another thing about the K-series, they mentioned upon its release that: this likely included the oft-mentioned V8 and TTsport variants, but also more than likely a functional convertible. the current config names consist of "Kc", the c is likely an add-on to specify it as a "coupe" variant, with K either referring to "Kurz" or "Kabriolett". on top of this, TDK has mentioned a couple of times that convertibles are on hold while they figure out audio raytracing, in order to simulate the dynamic cabin muffling properly. because of this, I'd imagine the K series is being held back overall on the basis of the convertible top, otherwise, why would it have taken over 5 years to add another engine variant to a car?
Except the new Bolide has targa configs, so this doesn't quite track to me. Perhaps they are holding it back on the basis of the convertible, perhaps they just haven't gotten to it. I could see them wanting to release a new engine as part of a larger remaster package, too, instead of just a standalone thing.
I think there's also the technical aspect of animating a convertible top correctly, where the hopper or bolide simply have something that comes off with a couple of breakgroups, only about six people have successfully made a folding soft top, all to varying degrees of refinement, but if they want to make a hardtop convertible, as many german GTs of the era were, then that's adding way more complexity.
I do think the next new vehicle should either be a modern European van or a modern European truck. As the H series and T Series don't fit well in Italy. The European van could work as a Successor to the H series, as alot of American van companies have phased out their BOF V8 vans and replaced them with European based ones. The European truck could be Scandinavian as we lack a vehicle from those countries plus Scania and Volvo are quite popular truck companies. There are mods for this but something official that is likely to be kept in date would be preferable.
