In this patch we have fixed two important issues with the sales model that went unnoticed for the longest of time but have a huge impact in specific situations, especially for small premium manufacturers. In addition to those, there are plenty of other nice fixes in here, have a look!

General Fixes

• Changed ABS and TC unlock years to 1979 and 1985 respectively

• Changed UI to now show unlocked but unavailable VVL options greyed out

• Fixed multiple exhaust tips not connecting correctly

• Fixed tooltips for geometry and bearing not updating with stage reference

• Fixed wiggling in acceleration graph in 1st gear

• Fixed toe effect not being included in tire service costs multiplier in UI

• Fixed WES standards showing inconsistent color if they get better / worse

• Fixed scenario ready screen not coping gracefully with connection dropping out

Campaign Fixes

• Fixed issue with sales model were your dealership level would limit sales in an unintended way. This means much better sales for small companies with highly competitive cars.

• Fixed competitor dealership levels being locked at 10, now depend on awareness. This makes competitors entering new regions ramp up as one would expect instead of instantly having full presence.

• Polished up the HQ level and addon purchase UI

• Fixed loan costs sometimes being displayed wrong

• Fixed inconsistent display of emissions credit numbers

• Fixed gear ratios tech unlock not showing the number of gears

• Fixed factories shutting down for a month even with no actual changes to tooling

• Fixed cash loan percentage to always go up to 100%

• Fixed engines disappearing from hub UI after engineering is done

• Fixed over-staffing costs being applied for in-design factory shift settings

We're very much closing in on the final stretch of the open beta now, only a few more polishing patches to go before it should be ready for everyone to enjoy.

Cheers!
