Light campaign region unlock bug (?)

Here’s the thing. I started in 1946 in Fruinia and expanded into Archana when it unlocked in 1960… built a new factory there and everything (cars for the people, by the people).
In 1966, I designed a car in Fruinia for export to Gasmea (it showed 1970 unlock [!?!]). This car is fine and sells all over.
The 1960 car from Archana can not be sold in Gasmea because its still locked… and it’s 1977.

Here’s the save:-

Aren’t those unlock dates treated by the game as the dates when the borders are open for car import/export? Because then Gasmea locked for cars from Archana (even though they are made by a Fruinian company) would make perfect sense.

Thought that’d be the case. Figured it would be smart to ask anyway. Thanks.

I had a similiar car that i started producing in 1959 for export to archana, I think you have to start producing the car after the region unlocks, Otherwise it bugs out

I have had the issue too where starting in fruinia, after gasmea unlocks I can no longer sell car to archana

That happens if you build a factory in Gasmea, even if your company is from fruinia.

I’ve noticed the thing about cars made before a region is unlocked not selling after it is unlocked. Not sure if this is always the case, but the last couple of times I saw that the number beside the potential % of cars sold in that region was 0, which means nothing is being sold there. Clicking the number will change it to either 2 or 3 and allow cars to be sold there.
