The Car Shopping Round (Round 64): Tears in Heaven

You could use the not-Saab wagon body (it can be fitted with seven seats) with a ladder frame and leaf springs at the rear. There is enough room for a straight-six or even a V8 if you want to use them. I actually considered building such a car, but eventually went for the not-Defender body, which was more practical.

I was actually kind of hoping someone would try something like that.

Is it possible to have 2 working saves for automation so I could have 1 for the open beta and the other for the stable build? I hate having to swap my save files back and forth.

Possible if you have 2 computers.

is that the only way?

Iā€™m pretty sure it zips a copy when you switch.

i realize that but you still have to move the files around when switching back

I have a feeling we would work well together.

Isnā€™t comfort supposed to be more than 15?

Yes it isā€¦ Dā€™oh!!!

Iā€™ll be either re-submitting or being disqualified, lol :scream:

EDIT: Iā€™d confused safety with comfort! :sweat:

@rcracer11m Yes, just rename the automation folder to ā€œautomation_stableā€ or something when you change to beta, and then change the beta folder save to ā€œautomation_betaā€ or something and the re-name the ā€œautomation_stableā€ folder to just automation when you want to play the stable save. That way renaming folders youā€™ll get different saves.

Thatā€™s pretty useful when youā€™re running a challenge and donā€™t want to mix the entries with your creations.

thatā€™s a freakingly simple trick i couldā€™ve used from long ago that i never thought of.
DOH!

In your most recent PM to me you stated that with a 10% markup I could not afford to provide EFI maintenance lessons. However, I have just seen that you have withdrawn that post, and hereā€™s why:

I built my car in the current stable release, and after adding a 10% markup, realized that there was cash to spare for maintenance lessons, but no more. In all honesty, though, the engine was reliable enough for me not to actually need this extra cost, even though you recommended it. Now why exactly did you initially find the price to be slightly higher than I stated? Was it because you were using an open beta build? And have you reverted to the current stable release?

yeah, thatā€™s why.
that was my bad, was doing something in open beta, forgot to revert back when i was reviewing.
it costs $11440 in open beta.

so just forget about it. that was my fault, not yours. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey Ultimate, if I could ask a question.

My cost is significantly cheaper then yours - about 5k. Youā€™re at $6028. However my sell at 10% is $17270! Iā€™m a returning player, before the financial side was done. Is there a regional option Iā€™m missing?

@koolkei Have you encountered this issue also?

Total cost in overview tab is only the cost of body. Final price takes in that plus material cost of the engine and production units of both.

Ahhh that makes a kind of sense - production units being a financial value based on how long a design takes I guess.

Itā€™s a unit based on how complex the thing actually is to build. Material cost, as the name implies only covers the materials required to build the car, not the building itself.

Yup yup, onto it now - itā€™s a quick way of managing overheads - in final release would it make more sense to display this as a fiscal figure/unit made? That seems to make more sense to me then to have in essence different units of measure.
