Update Speculation thread

I know everyone is hyped for the new version, but I would like more Beamng betas on the steam page, like all the major releases, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 etc... mostly because I have not played those versions or play them again. and old mods can work again!

 

some things i mainly noticed, on the right, i saw that there is a digital clock,and im probably wrong but, on the left i saw these buttons, to me they look like sliding power door buttons, like on most american minivans, so maybe a covet minivan? like the nissan prairie minivan, but thats just my opinion

 

Actual vs. Remaster for comparing.

 

Thanks for that.

The old steering wheel looks better than the remaster. Otherwise, it's a nice interior improvement.

 

I noticed the digital clock below the center air vents too and I'm really hoping it's functional.
Generally, as far as the BeamNG cars that do feature a clock are concerned, this matter must be universally solved. Some of these cars have a perfectly functioning clock (cases in point the Miramar, the Bluebuck and all cars with center screens and gauge cluster screens, including the factory Navigation system of the Sunburst and the 80s Sci-fi Wendover gauge cluster) but there are still some cars in which the clock is clearly superficial (Wigeon, Burnside Special, Grand Marshal, '88 Pessima, '96 Pessima, 200BX, LeGran and the standard Radio of the Sunburst iirc). And this is still going on even after the remastering of the cars, like in the '96 Pessima. It's detracting from the attention to detail BeamNG is known for and it's also not practical at all from the driver's seat, especially when the player is at full screen, without the work tab at the bottom of their computer screen.

 

i agree, the dimensions of the wheel are a little bit off in my opinion,

 

yeah way too big. Probably would look good on the Kashira or the Diadem

 

those seats...

 

You're going to want a big steering wheel on a FWD vehicle with uneven half-shafts and no power steering... I also think it's somewhat because of the camera angle that it looks so big

 

animated shifters!!
omg this is truly a dream come true for me

 

WOW i love it. I love the wheel ( gimme big wheel ) BUT one thing. I see unleaded fuel Only i love it.

I cant wait for the red color I ( I love red color )and RHD

 

The brake pedal still seems way to wide for a car with a manual. I think it should have a shape more like this (new shape in red)
(If you can‘t see the pedal try brightening you screen)

 

can confirm

 

Remember the video posted by a dev with the ignition settings? That sounds cool but is there any possibility devs have mentioned an idle stop- start system at any time? That would be a great improvement for modern cars and simulating real life driving. Maybe even that the engine will only shut off, if it is warm enugh. I could imagine this beeing included in the coming update, too

 

Exactly, I've driven the late 2000s kei car with no power steering. You will literally perform a muscle workout when steer it.

 

Classic old-school Mercedes way of thinking this one. That's what old Mercedes mechanics said, in case the power steering fails, you gotta have a large diameter wheel so as you can still turn the car! And I can confirm this too, as my Hyundai Atos has no power steering complete with a normal sized steering wheel and its alloy wheels are a bit too large and heavy for the car to balance the weight of the steering, so I always have to turn the car going at least with 1 km/h. Oh well, at least I have a great road feel, so it's kinda like a Lotus Elise. Kinda!

 

If it's FWD think more along the lines of the Lotus Elan MK2

 

Yes, it is FWD! Nah, the Elan Mk2 had power steering! So it's kinda like a Lotus Elise in reverse then!

 

What about the Kia Elan? that was also a thing but they put their own engine in it instead of keeping the unit from Lotus iirc

 

Didn't think about that!
