Update Speculation thread

Awsome. Moonhawk limo?

 

the textures are gray, with a TV and phone in the car, implying that the car is late 80s/early 90s. I assume it's some kind of ETK I-Series LWB, such as a 7-series. Perhaps the ETK I series could be turned more into a 5-series/7-series esque BMW? The interior colour (assuming that the gray mess is an interior) screams 90s to me, and the tech would be to dated to be in the 2000s, with the moonhawk being to dated for the tech. ETK I series remaster WHEN!!!11!!

 

Or maybe it could be a Grand Marshal limo and/or a LWB one. It could even be a lore-friendly W140 Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

 

Honestly, its likly a grand marshal. Has to be old enough for a crt tv given the textures.

 

I believe that sensors are one thing, actual AI logic is another. You can check what the current AI system analyzes on the go – the data is more than enough to figure out how to drive properly. The issue is that the AI logic itself is very basic and doesn't really make use of the data

lol
They were named something along the lines of police_main.dds. The material was called police_main. There where normal, albedo, roughness, and metallic maps.

Looks like colourable lightbar textures.

 

Yeah I was wondering if that was the case because I know if you prompt them they can be smart

It seems reasonable to me that they make simplified versions of traffic police for better performance as right now police spawn with their normal config in traffic which is ultimately more demanding

 

Will the decs ever address the 5 year gap between the Mrk 1 and Mrk 2 pessimas?

 

Assuming the '88 is the Mk1, that'd make the '96 one a Mk3.

 

I think we may be getting something or another called a capybara

 

I hope they make one like a 1994 Accord or something. That would be kinda cool

 

Caterpillar = CAT
Capybara = CAP

 

As someone who loves limos this is great, sad new limos are rare,! more so with most being so called limo vans witch kinda ruin it abit,

Now limos as we know are based on EXISTING cars, so ok witch car do you think we will some love next? The TV as said is to new for the pre 1980s era cars I.E Moonhawk, To old for the new ETKs,

SO maybe the i-series, Or the GM

OR maybe a ALL new car~! Didnt they ( devs ) say a new car is in the works for 2026? or later this year, maybe very wrong,

NOW am hyped,

PS be funny if it was the FWD legrand limo,

AM aussie so have some aussie photos of limos LOL.. other then that w211

 

Probably will be the grand marshal and/or the ETK I Series. Could be both because its in the common folder.

 

Will there be more traffic vehicles? The game it missing a few post 1980 vehicles from the traffic. Especially the SBR and Hopper. The hopper would add more large vehicles, because right now its a sea of sedans, which is unrealistic for the North American traffic configs. I know the T series likely wont be added till a proper ai update, but some of the smaller MD series configs would work as they can be much bigger than the dually D series traffic configs. The ai could definitely handle the smaller configs. This is more or less a suggestion, but the short frame school bus, the tanker, and dump truck MD series would be a lovely edition to the traffic. They have a short enough frame for the ai to handle, and would add lots of variety. I have experimented with larger simplified traffic cars and the ai seems to handle them well. (I created a simplified base model t series) I found making the brakes a little stronger, tires a little gripper helped a ton with the ai handling the truck. Basically I am begging for more traffic vehicles.

 

This has made my day. I hope it works. The MD is not much bigger in length and width than some of the existing traffic cars. I really hope the hopper is added to traffic, and the SBR4. I hope this happens. This is why I love this game so much, it has devs that listen to fans. Its the only game I play, besides lethal company. Got a PC, wheel, shifter, all for this masterpiece of a game. Honestly, if the last couple of cars make it to the traffic thats perfect. It has been my only nitpick. Besides smooth lighting, but you guys added that.
