[@TerryMartinART]

Loved the one in Uncharted 4. Even though it’s more arcade than sim, it looked and worked well. If you have not seen the mud that gets caked up on the wheels and that can sling off, should check that out. They did a great job making that look good. Spin tires… snow runner.. I a terrible at. I get stuck what was suppose the get the thing unstuck. Love the ground and water deformation.

[@yurichan5368]

[@patrixon7916]

I am actually really curious for the sbr4 remaster, since it's one of the only cars in the game that is mostly fictional and not based on any real-life car. Also the european semi seems like something we might even get in the next update, i hope we do at least.

[@SkyFall4839]

Yeah it’s gonna be interesting to see whether they’re going to draw more inspiration from the Porsche 911 (which some people suspect it to be based on) or keep the mix between Japanese cars and the 911.

[@FerralVideo]

I'm actually not expecting an SBR4 remaster yet. It's a relatively newer car among the library, and there are quite a few other cars in much greater need of remastering. What I wouldn't be surprised by though, is a reFRESH like the ETKs got not long ago. Keep most of the car's current identity, just clean up the model and textures, tweak and modernize the standard dashboard, eSBR long-range (yes, I noticed that "Solid State Battery (100kWh)" in the parts selector), widebody kit for the Baja engine...?

[@patrixon7916]

@@FerralVideo oh damn I forgot that remaster, refresh and remake mean different things lol. But yeah, a refresh does kind of make more sense since the car is already pretty okay, there are just some things that could be better.

[@beamboy07]

Honda NSX?

[@patrixon7916]

@@beamboy07 hmm... well it's kind of like the NSX, but it's more of a BRZ type car I feel like. Basically a NSX that has design hints and performance of the BRZ

[@imbek47]

Something else worth mentioning that doesn't includes stuff from game files, is that around West Coast USA there are multiple construction areas. That strongly hints on an expansion.

[@RallyElite]

every update they add stuff to the work sites

[@imbek47]

That is true actually yea I agree@@RallyElite

[@McBeamer94]

This time they opened the construction site in the multistorey parking lot between the hospital and the tunnel and below the turning bridge, in the Promenade crossroads! I think they did it in one of the hotfixes of the 0.32 (0.32.3, I believe)! I hope we finally get the multistorey parking lots in this area of the map to be functional! This will be making car chases a whole lot easier and with more variety!

[@YRDrive]

The best developers, but their only problem is that they move slowly.... Also in the last update they updated the wentward headlights maybe this means wentward remaster

[@SkyFall4839]

I didn’t notice the updated Wentward-thanks for sharing! About the devs: Obviously, we’re not getting 1-2 new vehicles every week like in games such as Forza Horizon. However, keep in mind that, unlike other game developers, the BeamNG devs actually design their vehicles themselves. They can’t contract them from car manufacturers because the cars are fictional. Additionally, the physical model (jbeam) takes just as long as the visual one, and making vehicles behave accurately in a physics simulation like BeamNG requires a lot of skill and time. So, while it’s true that progress might seem slow, it’s extremely impressive for a company with just over 100 employees. If you’re interested in learning more about their workflow, check out my video on that topic -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWXYlnhtaL2Zp80si=fG6_eJBQdwNG4OaP

[@BunBunGamess]

They move slow but secure that every update is amazing

[@FerralVideo]

They also got the pneumatics simulation working for the Wentward's air brakes and suspension. I took it for a spin recently and noticed the air gauge working and acting just like the T-Series' does as you brake and actuate its airbag suspension system.

[@stupidvideos1449]

Slowly? With the amount of content we get every update I wouldn't say so

[@TerryMartinART]

They have a small team, but from my experience with them I feel that they put too much effort into making sure new updates don’t break too many mods. Personally I feel that is holding back development. Then again, they are a small team as I said earlier. I know a lot of upcoming features are on hold until they get the Vulcan more stable. … haha I just saw my mod I worked on a long time ago. I made some better since then. Great video btw. I am not sure how I did it before but I was in the games debug mode.

[@windowsxpdude]

[@SkyFall4839]

[@Caplonky5]

[@SuperNitr0x]

Funny thing is. For the career mode things you saw. You can actually see the UI implemented in career mode itself. If you go to the progression tab in career mode and to the section that shows all 4 types. You'll see the different modes that you've mentioned.

[@SkyFall4839]

Oh lol, I didn't know that. Thanks for commenting

[@McBeamer94]

@4:16 Oh My God, I got included in Skyfall's video!!! Thank you so much man!!! 💗😀 Aside from my joy outburst, there is a large chance of the SBR4 getting a remastering in the future because the side airvents in front of the rear wheels are small fake units right now, so the intercoolers dictate a redesign in this specific area. They may be in use in the Autobuggy Piccolinas with the SBR4 engines, but, then again, instead of two smaller ones, there is a single large intercooler above the turbos, for obvious reasons, regarding to clearance and suspension articulation plus the direct exposure to the air stream and the airflow of the two fans of the radiator right in front of it. Also, the Vintage Racing Seat would look very nice in any classic car in the game, not just the classic Muscle Cars. The Piccolina, the Stambecco, the Miramar, the Special, even the Bolide and the Pigeon/Wigeon cousins, to a stretch, could benefit from this seat because the modern racing buckets are simply too modern to look period-correct in these cars. Plus, it looks amazing with its simple, laid back design! I hope it gets included officially in the game sometime!

[@SkyFall4839]

Thank you for the additions! No worries about including your forum post- I’ve actually been following your posts on the update speculation thread for quite a while ;)

[@McBeamer94]

​@@SkyFall4839Thank you again and I'm really glad our comments and additions are recognized, it's a sign of a great community and some great devs and moderators! 💗💗💗 I'm thinking of changing my pseudonym to the one I have in the BeamNG community, for synchronizing these two! 😀

[@FerralVideo]

My commentary: Yay more T-Series! I'm excited to see what more content is coming. The large amount of content we got during the last update caught me personally off guard, since I was expecting the BX-remaster, but not the substantial amount of T-Series stuff. I agree with you, we probably aren't seeing an EUDM T-Series, but specifically a eurotruck. Cherrier? Autobello? ETK? As for dynamic weather, I think that's more of a Torque3D thing. The devs have come out specifically and said that dynamic weather is not on the radar. It's too much work and hassle to implement well, when they've got a whole lot more rewarding content they can be working on instead. I would be actually surprised by an SBR4 remaster. It's a newer car in the roster, and so is already built to higher standards than some other vehicles. I would not, however, be surprised by a reFRESH, like the ETKs got a little while ago. Some body panels to get the new engine to fit, the new engine, some general body and texture work, some tweaks to the dashboard, just liven it up and modernize it up a little. Since we've established a theme of "drifting" with the BX remaster, that would be a nice segue to beginning work on this peppy little rear-engine car. The classic cars definitely need love. The aforementioned drifting theme would be a perfect opportunity to kick off this long-overdue process. I'm full-scale hype for working winches and ropes. The T-Series remaster prompted me to spawn up the rollback, and this made me start wishing that the winch worked so I could more easily drag crashed cars onto it without relying on nodegrab. Having winches on offroaders would also make me happy. Could we possibly FINALLY see tiedowns too??? (Footnote: Please, hydraulics on the D-series and H-series rollback upfit versions....) Speaking of remasters, I see the comments are talking about the Wentward. Fun fact, it got full pneumatics during the work on the T-Series. Likely how it got the updated headlights, from a shared asset. I personally want to see the six-speed auto made available to the T-Series, maybe even with that cool digital controller?!, as well as the interior switches on the Wentward made interactable. When I was driving it recently I was looking at all the switches and said "I wish I could click those." .... while they're working on that, I would absolutely LOVE to see an RV conversion interior... many RL RV companies will convert buses to RVs, and we do NOT have enough RVs in this game - only the one small travel trailer.

[@SkyFall4839]

I agree, a refresh of the SBR is more likely. I appreciate your in-depth comment, thanks for sharing :)

[@vertviger]

Actually , the hint of an official online for BeamNG just blew my mind! This can give the game such an incredible boost in popularity that it's hard to imagine. First of all, if it is based on EOS, it will most likely work stably and give a great connection between players. And this means that BeamNG will be able to conduct completely realistic races between players! And playing with your friends on the official platform without using BeamMP and their launcher will be just awesome! Or imagine having online career mode , lol P.S. I'm already looking forward to official racing tournaments in BeamNG! 🦐

[@SkyFall4839]

Same here! If it’s actually going to be based on EOS it’d be huge news not just for the BeamNG community - (stable) online multiplayer would most likely attract even more people from the sim racing community!

The winch wouldn't just be for offroading. All of the rollback car transport trucks in the game have a winch, but they just doesn't work yet. If the devs add winches, we would be able to tow cars properly, which would be super fun.

[@hiHirashi]

the T series had its remake for the 3rd time, the game is in the epic game store, SBR4 had new parts added to the game (even though at the moment it wasn't comprehensive but it should probably be a sign for a remaster of it) so probably these leaks are real, everything happened so quickly

Tangential thing about SEMIs…ithe GTG modders managed to do proper splitter/range switch suppprt and proper Eaton-Fuller shifter layouts in their old T-series mod, why wasn’t it in the latest T-series update?
