Update Speculation thread

How bad is it?

 

its a rumor i mean every 13 friday its a bad day
ot:
hmm some youtubers are making ulgy car

 

It's nice to hear about how the Automation BeamNG collab is going, which sounds like it's going really well. Now there's something else I'd like to know more about, the new official car. Some news about it would also be nice.

 

Remember the Wentward?
It's basically that situation, where we see a few photos (and didn't had it's own official thread in the official content sub-forum), then news about it goes silent....
...then it appears in a new update

 

Yes, but we also got a picture confirming what it looks like. So far with the "AB" car we've only gotten extreme closeups that don't really show what it the entire car looks like.

 

I assume the reason why was actually ironically the first picture's file name. So unlike the Wentward, this new vehicle is kind of hiding it's identity for now.

 

K, then

 

Its on the thirteenth I think

 

Only sounds & the engine jbeam can be ported over to other BeamNG cars

 

Also, I seen on a comment on another Automation -> BeamNG video, that there are new sounds. The comment said "that's part of the audio overhaul along with the curb and gravel noises and new collision sounds, among some other things". What is the curb noise? Slamming your car wheels into it? And another thing, what are the other sounds added except those stated in the comment?

 

I think they were talking about the sound of driving on rumble strips.

 

Is it just me or have a bunch of sounds been greatly improved? The tire squeal sounds so good in the second video.
Edit - ninja'd I guess

 

The sounds are great and the new test track may become my favorite map in the game.

Geez I really need a new computer...

 

Automation test track seems to have bit more than track to it, now I'm wondering if that Mini hillclimb was also on Automation test track, I guess we know in a few days.

 

It seems to be on it in BeamNG, but probably wasn't in Automation

 

It actually was on the test track

 

Well, the hillclimb track was in Serzari's video on the update/Automation Test Track, and it seems it's the same one.

 

if im honest it's like a 5 second fix, it really doesn't take much bother to change it at all.
Maybe they did it by accident

Also i wonder if @Diamondback has fixed the automatic transmissions having power during shifting (causing RPM to spike midshift)
