Hi guys. I’m quite new to these forums and was looking to set up a car company in the car design thread but just wanted some help with a few things. Any help will be much appreciated.

  1. How would I take pictures in the game of my cars, engines and stats?
  2. How would I then post these pics on these forums?
  3. How would I edit pictures or crop them to show only the stats or to make them all into one photo with different views and stats all in one?
  4. How do I link to an individual post? Like if I had a my original post showing my model line-up for that year, how would I then link to an individual post in that thread where the car is situated?

Again, any help would be much appreciated.

Best run the game in windowed mode (or borderless window) for that and use the Windows “Snipping Tool”, that lets you crop on the spot.

You can link to individual posts by getting the link directly to a post from the little right-arrow in the upper right corner of a post, next to the post date.

  1. How would I take pictures in the game of my cars, engines and stats?
    For car design there is a camera icon in the top right angle of the game window. Click on it and the photo ill be saved in /documents/mygames/Automation/photos
    For car stats and engine stats you have to use the stamp key on your keyboard and paste it on a picture editor program (like MSPaint)

  2. How would I then post these pics on these forums?
    You can upload them into a webhosting service or a personal cloud space (like dropbox or google drive) and use the hotlink into the post with the tag

  1. How would I edit pictures or crop them to show only the stats or to make them all into one photo with different views and stats all in one?
    Use a image editor program like Gimp, inkscape, paint…

  2. How do I link to an individual post? Like if I had a my original post showing my model line-up for that year, how would I then link to an individual post in that thread where the car is situated?
    Click on the title of the post you want to link and in the address bar of your web browser you’ll have the direct link to the post… for example this is
    viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7296&p=78817#p78817

Also, with regards to my last question, is there a way to make the it so that one word will contain the I would like it where I would be able to link or would I just need to post the url how you did it? Because I would like it if I would be able to link to an engine by saying “see here” rather than posting a link of just letters and numbers.

its [see here]((numbers and letters))

Do something like this: (url=www.stuff.com/mystuff)Look at my stuff(url)

Simply replace the brackets with square brackets
