New engines, suspension setups, and other drivetrain additions were also shared in common with other contemporary Gavril models.


New interior colors came in update 0.5, and two-tone jobs were added in update 0.8. Both vehicles would be bundled together with the final release of update 0.3.8.1.Īmong intermediate changes made to the Roamer since its release, a new roof rack storage system was added in update 0.4.1, while it was among the first vehicles in update 0.4.3 to receive a new UV livery skin layer, used on the Sheriff and, in update 0.4.3.1, the Fire Chief configurations. The early-access snapshots for update 0.3.8.1 feature a virtually-complete rendition of the Gavril Roamer, whereas the 200BX was absent. Gabester teased screenshots of the Roamer throughout early April of 2015, showing increased states of completion, from being a body shell with wheels to having a fully-modeled interior. Unlike the 200BX, the Roamer was developed on a rather fast track, in part due to its similarities with the Gavril D15. Due to the timeline of its development, the Roamer did not appear in either of the community polls that came before or after it was created, though reactions to its inclusion were very positive. Development proper on the utility vehicle occurred in 2015, alongside the Ibishu 200BX, especially after the perceived completion of the Hirochi Sunburst at the end of the experimental release era. It was the last vehicle of that year to be revealed. The Roamer was first revealed by gabester in 2013, shortly before the final update of the initial alpha release of BeamNG.drive. Improvements made to one vehicle generally also apply to the other, as well as, to a lesser extent, the H-Series. However, with the addition of the global Jbeam system in update 0.5, the Roamer was deemed a separate vehicle internally, despite still sharing the bulk of its underlying hardware with the D-Series.

Due to file sharing limitations at the time of its introduction, the Roamer was originally categorized as merely a variant of the D15. The Gavril Roamer has the distinction of being the first vehicle to be based entirely on an existing platform, sharing its whole chassis with the Gavril D15. gabester, BeamNG Forums, 16 September 2013 I can re-use everything - the frame, suspension, engine, running gear.” It's been partially finished sitting on my hard drive for a year and I just had the brilliant idea to stick it on the D15 chassis.
