    !!! Please kindly express your opinion !!!

    Wentward and the other cars are getting older, and a bit unspectacular because the more moddern cars have much details, displays etc. So here are some ideas for a Wentward remaster.

    Driver cabin

    Wentward has no ticket printer, no ticket validator, no IBIS device and no driver door. If Wentward had these devices it would make a much more realistic and detailed impression. Of course, if the devices would make noises when vibrating, it would be great, but I don't know if the game engine allows that.

    Vehicle types
    !!! Would be very cool but would take a lot of time !!!
    Intercity bus and city bus in american and european execution.

    This is the Irisbus Corsway it can be used as an Intercity and City bus because of its seating.

    The front is low-floor and the area at the rear is high-floor, and there are also often luggage racks. So the perfect mix of Coach and City bus and I think that would fit perfectly in Beamng.

    European based City version.

    With a shorter Wheelbase and 3 Doors.

    Most european city buses have the engine placed in the rear in a tower.

    Interior
    Since there is now the walk mode, it would be very cool if you could sit down on the bus and walk around. Yes it would be pointless in Singleplayer but in BeamMP it would be very usefull.

    Sorry for my bad english.

    I don't think the Wentward is old enough to require a remaster; textures & models still look good, even when compared to newest vehicles, but yes, I do agree that it needs some more parts

    I tried walking in the current bus (not pointless in SP mode - it's all entertainment) but the BeamNG player is too fat!

    only you think so, i think the wentward could have a ticket machine, a door that can be opened, better displays both outside and inside, better doors and a pleasant engine sound. It would be best if all the seats were placed in the European way.

    I totally age with you but there's one big problem with your suggestions. They are all related to European buses, while the Wentward is a USDM bus. USDM buses have a lot shorter length requirements and shorter overhangs overall so, for example, it doesn't fit wide doors neither in front of the front axle, nor behind the rear axle. Also, the Wentward's HVAC system is placed over the engine, while in Europe it is usually over the roof, what frees up space for a backlight, a rear door and some extra seats.

    For example, this is a Brazilian Bus, with a low entry frame, designed to operate on the city of São Paulo:

    You can see that the frame proportions are closer to European buses (long overhangs and wide doors), although it has that hump on the rear part just like the Wentward. The rearmost passenger row (behind the rear right door), sits five across and is placed higher than the rest, because of the engine (the hump on the floor is so tall, that the seats bolt directly to the floor).

    This is a typical Brazilian Low entry bus interior (you can see the last row bolted directly to the floor and still being higher than the rest):

    Your right, but i thought that with the remaster wentward gets an european brother, that every version has an american and european layout.

    Yes haha i thought that they may edit the jbeam of the snowman so he fits through the seats. And as i said there should be an option to sit down and stai visable.

    The problem is that european and american buses are too different of each other. The frames would have to be different because of the different overhangs. The bodies too. An european based Wentward could, probably, be sold on US with a shorter wheelbase to comply with any maximum overall length requirement, since european doors are wider, they'd probably pass US regulations. Although, if US regulations dictate things like the overhangs, there's no chance of us getting an US and Euro Wentward, unless they make them two completely different vehicles (or find a way to make a modular frame capable of those variations).
