Update Speculation thread

what would be awesome is if one day we could actually have working AI traffic, possibly with low-poly models so they can be used in bulk...

 

That actually sounds interesting. A route that only certain cars can drive. (In this case the bus)

 

I think the next update is probably going to be around April. Also the Ibishu Hopper was released last April (around Easter time) so maybe BeamNG could celebrate one year of Ibishu Hopper?

Or maybe Beam could do a mini game of finding easter eggs just like the winter mod?

 

Don't they release an update like every 3-4 months?

 

They don't seem to be much of the celebratory bunch. They blew by their 4 year anniversary and did nothing.

 

that we know of. Also i wonder what will the bus engine will be/look like. I have no idea on flat nose bus's

 

If not a swap from the T-Series, there will be mods swapping the two.

 

a flat twelve obviously.

 

This is (slightly) off-topic, but why was @kaiser imnop banned?

OT: I made a mistake and boarded a one way ticket on the hype express.

 

Im wondering this too @JetPoweredMacintosh™

OT: A city bus would be cool but tbh I've already burnt myself out on the idea of a bus with the Dansworth D2500 Mod.
What ever happened to the official tow truck idea we were supposed to be seeing?

No word on the tow truck, probably trying to polish a coupling mechanism or something like that

 

for those wondering about the tow truck D-series, it will be on the Ext. Frame with the single cab.

made it a body for the CRD as a TEST (it will not be released)

 

Well, the tow truck meshes were in the game for some time, so they had plans for it atleast over a year ago

 

There is a thread discussing this. Hope this helps!

OT:
Will Italy even come in 0.12, or is it not coming until the game is in 0.13. Could 0.12 just bring the Bus and a few other things?

 

I hope it will come in .12, but I doubt it. Tdev said they want Italy to be the most realistic map they have ever made, and that requires a lot of small details. So while the map may look done from the screenshots posted, they may still have a lot of little things to do on it.
I'm keeping my finger crossed though.

 

I still say Italy is a long ways off but most people seem to disagree

 

I also think Italy is a long way from finishing. I think LJFHutch just shows off what the team has done and from that I think the team has only got 1-2 town roads complete, terrain mapping done, lots of back-roads done and I'm assuming a rough layout of the highway that goes around the map.

 

You know, I could wait a ridiculous amount of time for Italy if it meant the Civetta Fulmine being released with it. Wouldn't that be nice? An Italian car and map getting released at the same time? Mi piace l'idea. Sorry if that offends any Italians out there.

 

What's the Civetta Fulmine? I havent heard of it.

 

it's on a list that Gabester wished he never mentioned. anyone that starts talking about said list is at risk of getting banned and any threads that start talking about said list get locked VERY quickly.
