Update Speculation thread

To be precise, it was remastered in 0.24, a year and a half ago

 

To add on to the previous discussion: now that we have the stats system, it would be cool if the odometer started at the car's total distance driven instead of 0 every time.

 

Possibly, but only if there is a way to reset it to zero if you want to!

 

I know this has probably been mentioned before, but has anyone noticed how "small" the last 2 updates have been? in 0.28, we just got the etk remasters and Automation test track remaster. In 0.29 which is slightly bigger, we get one new cars a handful of configs, and missions. Compared to 0.27, these updates are tiny. Are the devs gearing up to release another moderately large update (not as big as 0.27)?

 

0.27 was absurdly large because they had been working on it for 2 years and 0.29 was just a content drop as they said and the next update "includes several major improvements and new features". Even then it didn't feel that small considering we got an entirely new car. 0.28 got 2 vehicle remasters, a map remaster and some other cool features so it wasn't that small. Compare this to 0.26 which was a vehicle remaster and some cool features. It's just 0.27 throwing things off

 

i have to agree that the last update felt small for me simply it was an update i was really looking forward too
i predicted a content update with more functional cosmetic upgrades and a bit more in-depth performance tuning
but im not looking a gifted horse into its mouth

 

Having an age, mileage and condition "slider" for each vehicle would be awesome.

 

With the Crane Attachment on Porta Potty, as BeamNG Drive is more focused on land vehicles like cars, trucks and buses, the crane would probably be in a truck, the only big truck in-game is T-Series it will probably be remastered in 0.30, so maybe the T-Series would have a boom truck crane uplift.

Like this


And maybe we'll get a new truck and this truck could have crane uplift too, as T-Series is an american old front engine truck the new one would be an european modern cabover.



Or something like this

 

that would be sweet! A dream come true.

 

Once we get ropeables I'm sure we'll see at least a few cranes

We could see a 1/2 ton crane for the smaller trucks (D-Series, Stambecco, etc...) but outside of small props like the portaloo it wouldn't really be useful.

The D-Series and any other small BOF cab vehicles could see some various tow truck types like wheel lifts.

Larger BOF cab trucks have a few options. Boom trucks, prentice loaders, wreckers, crane upfits (those are usually good for 20-40 tons).

I'd be surprised to ever see something bigger than a 40 ton crane upfit. Something like a LTM 1500 would be funny though

 

Like these?

 

i wouldnt mind if 0.30 took longer than 3 months tbh

 

what would be cool is if theyd finally add an actual aircraft into the game.

 

maybe the bus and t-series get an remaster with alot of utility parts for the h-series and d-series that would make sense imo and for something new there would be a little excavator

 

A cool collab for a T-Series remaster could be American Truck Simulator. I ust hope the T-Series gets some love, because it needs it

I do have to wonder if the crane attachment on the porta potty is hinting at something

 

Maybe that we will get some heavy machinery like excavators or cranes, both on trucks and the huge tall ones (this one shouldnt be that hard to create, since there is already a mod for it) and maybe crane attachments for more props like barrels and wood planks.
