Update Speculation thread

And snow. And interactive environments in general. Barriers and garage doors that go up and down, elevators and car lifts in garages, revolving doors... A lot of stuff!

 

What ever happened with the devblog post about the audio design and other stuff?
I remember seeing them mentioned in the Vivace Creation devblog but haven't seen any of the other topics covered yet.
New Vehicle Reveal: The Cherrier Vivace - BeamNG.drive

 

Thanks for the q&a tdev, great stuff

 

Yes please! I love and read all the blogposts and such you guys write. They’re all very engaging and it’s amazing to see the behind the scenes of everyone turning the gears back there.

 

Apart from that, Audi is a client of the ".tech" company so realism is enhanced even further!

 

Holy crap, this is huge.
This is the biggest news regarding career mode since 2013. I'm excited to see what career mode will bring!

 

I know this is small but, have you guys fixed the headlights on certain vehicles (1st gen pessima, moonhawk etc.)?

 

Is the update coming out in the next 3 weeks?

 

POGPOGPOGPOG

 

will electric cars have better simulation ?

 

Thank you for hosting this Q&A session, for making such an awesome game, and for having the patience to deal with us too lol.

 

I todally like the idea, but i just wondering if that doesn't affect the game's age rateing. I mean, the dummy mod alone can create very brutal scenes already. But since they only are dummy's, it less "critical" to those simulations. While something that looks like a actual human is something different. Hopefully it isn't a problem, because having such simulation would be amazing.

But i think it would also need some base that allows to load dynamic objects with a map. Like vehicles was able to saved to a map in Rigs Of Rods. So i think a good start would be to have a dynamic prop implementation first, so see how it handles. Like lampposts, fances and such which could be damaged without having to spawn them all manually.

 

adding onto that being able to not only save vehicle locations, but also their velocity and direction in a single snapshot, so that you could easily restart from a single moment in time might have been the most underrated feature ever

incredibly useful for recording car chases and especially setting up large trains

 

i'm sure i speak for everyone when i say that we'd all love that

 

Man, I loved getting to read Tdev's responses. I hope this can become a regular thing, as getting to communicate directly is such a fun way to both manage hype / expectations, and keep players and forum users engaged and excited for the future of the game and community

Side note, couple things of note:

New map in the works? Pretty cool!

Feature freeze is great! Hopefully that means that the update will be out by the end of the next month.

Also, in Diamondback's latest post, I saw "twoStepLaunch". I can't fully recall, but i don't believe we have had a proper launch control system ingame as of yet, and this looks like it might be the beginnings of one

 

Life circumstances force me to leave for a couple of days and this is what greets me on my return: chatter about the old tow truck, speculation on possible scissor doors for the new Civetta, and a full-on developer Q&A. You've all been busy!

That's neat. I never knew that the dev team was actively considering pedestrians at one point!

If by some (admittedly very unlikely) chance I'm not too late for the Q&A, seeing the T-series Tow Truck again excited me and has me wondering about it, along with the concept of rope beams and ropeables at large. We didn't really have a lot of official mention of a system for that (possibly similar to the system Rigs Of Rods used?), other than it was being researched circa 2015-2016, and it is what initially delayed development on the tow truck.

I know that the model for the wrecker bed was removed from the game, but could we have some official word on whether that was because research into ropeables also did not meet expectations and was not pursued further, or if this version of the wrecker bed no longer made sense in the context of the new long-bed frames for the D-series?

In a similar vein, is it possible that we will see a system that can be used to restrain cars to a wheel lift or a flatbed by using flexible beams to connect to the node at the center of a wheel (in a similar way that two nodes can be connected with the nodegrabber)as illustrated below?

 

Makes me think Australia

 

These are (hopefully) every car that was effected

I don't know much about electronics, but I'm pretty sure the low beam should look like this

instead of this


(I do remember the first time I noticed this bug was 1 year ago, and the last time i told you guys about it you guys said "we already know this, but it's not in high priority", and that was about half a year ago)

P.S. this is a screenshot I took before the bug happens, and please ignore the color and stuff
