Update Speculation thread

That's why I guessed it.

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world of motorsport is the 1976-to-mid-eighties SCORE class 6. These cars were racing in the famous Baja 500 and Baja 1000 races.

Granted, a number of these quasi-homebrew contraptions were later-model cars (like the famous Snortin' Norton Chevy Nova), but a lot of the smaller independent teams seemed to favour late-fifties American iron.

 

The Redex Rally was a thing here in Australia.

 

Nice idea this one! It would look perfect dressed in some reproduction of a classic Datsun rally livery (like the red livery of the Datsun Bluebird 510 or that of the 240Z)!

I don't think it would look unrealistic and silly. You need soft suspension for absorbing the bumps, potholes and planted rocks of a soil/gravel road. Plus, the Sweds have been doing it for some years!

 

I have made this rally Ford Falcon as a personal config for the Bluebuck & let me tell you, it is great fun. I tried to keep a more-or-less same weight to power ratio, but the big downside with the Bluebuck is that it is 700-800kg heavier than that Falcon, so it doesn't take faster corners too well even with narrower tires, but the experience of rallying a 60's land yacht is definitely unique



I think it would make for a great addition to the official configs

 

can i have that config?

 

I remember someone made a falcon xb mod a few years back, and it was pretty high quality for its time. I think there was a rally config with that too. I might just try and put pbr in it. Cool config though . Anyway, back on topic. I was remembering this UI app that accidentally got leaked in 0.9. What could it be?

 

Maybe some kind of GPS system with addresses and arrows on the floor to guide you..

But there is already something similar with the last update (you can select a place on the map and the game will game you with some arrows on the floor (for the ones who didn't know))

 

I actually think I'm using the UI app you are talking about. However, career mode is most likely going to be used in a pre-existing map, so what would we need IRL coordinates for? I don't think BeamNG has the resources to make a MSFS-like map.

 

Your creation looks great!
The Bluebuck is a larger car (around 5.5m) than the Falcon, so it's natural for it to weigh more. But I don't think it's gonna be a problem for the Gavril V8s (especially the two larger ones, the 353ci and 423ci), right?

 

thats absolutely awesome
i feel like when the burnside gets a remaster, it and the bluebuck will probably get something like that

 

Yes, such Rally cars weren't out of place in the rallying scene of that era plus they're a niche not yet represented in BeamNG (after all, how else can the Rally Springs in the Parts Selector be justified?)! So I definitely see why such variants for the Burnside, the Bluebuck and the Barstow could be added when their remastering time comes!

 

oh man i didnt even think about a barstow rally variant!
that would be awesome for the utah map

 

Yep, the Barstow is the smallest of these three Gavril models, so it would only benefit the variety of models representing this niche!

 

I have a craving for a teaser.

 

Same... damn how does time pass so fast yet so slow at the same time? It's only been 11 days since the last teaser, maybe we'll get another one this Tuesday? But who knows

 

teaser addicts....

 

Me too, but OK, with the insane amount of stuff added in each Update, it's very easy to be craving for news!

 

I hope the next teaser is something in-game. The past 4 have been artists renditions or blender models.

I really hope some level content is in the works, it's been over 3 years since the last all new map (Italy).

 

A new map would be nice since lately they focusing on only cars
