Hey guys!

The open beta of the new update will go live in a few hours (19th June 2015). In this thread please post your general feedback
for the new update and discuss your findings in a constructive way. This is not a thread for bug reports though, you find that

Looking forward to reading your feedback!

Fixtures Disappearing?

The fixtures disappearing is not a bug IF they are still on the "Model" when you go back there. The game works differently now and we need to better explain that, because with the saving issues in the last big update we taught people to first finish building the car and then designing it. So here is how it is supposed to work, and some situations and their intended outcomes.

How it works:
The first 3 tabs in the car design are for the model, marked by the little model car symbol. Here you can make the template to be used for all trims you build after creating that template. Changing the template after creating any trim only affects trims you build after the modification, not the ones already built.

Good procedure:
Make template design on first fixture tab, use save button to save your design progress (the only thing that does not auto-save until you select list items or move sliders), once done move to second fixture tab and modify the fixtures for this trim only.

Not a bug:
Leave 1st fixture tab (template) empty, leave 2nd fixture tab (trim) empty, make rest of car, come back to 1st fixture tab and design the car, go to 1nd fixture tab and ALL FIXTURES ARE GONE. Going back to the 1st fixture tab, they are all there though.

Please have a go with this new version and see if things work as intended.

Hello, nice changes, but dont have turbo on v6?

V6 engine doesn't start

[Killrob]

Like stated in the Little Dev Update on our YouTube channel: no turbos for V6s yet! That would take another 2-3 weeks which we didn't want you guys have waiting for.
V6 engines not starting sounds like an issue you should post in the bug thread... and please give some more detail there. In what way doesn't it start, for instance.

[vmo]

The open beta is available in Steam version?

[8bs]

The open beta is available in Steam version?

Yeah, go to your library on steam and right click on Automation, select Properties, go to "Beta" tab, and select the current Beta (the only available).

[Prasiatko]

Idea i had when using the clone fixture feature. Would it be possible when we create a new trim or engine variant to keep the settings of the parent model? I.e. engine tuning and trim menu settings.

[NormanVauxhall]

Prasiatko, there is the option to clone the trim in order to do what you said. The button should be in the drop down menu of the model trims, the one beside the trash bin to cancel the trim.

[Starfish94]

Hello , is it normal that when i update to open beta , all of my mod will go missing?

[Killrob]

With the Steam Workshop integration we've changed all modding related folder structures to make modding easier and integrate the Workshop. So yeah, it is expected that the mods no longer work. Soon you will be able to get all of them via the Steam Workshop in a much more convenient way I would think.

[Jastrzab1984]

So now is no other way to play with mods? There is no option to manually put it into right (new) location?

[Prasiatko]

If you look in the Gamedata under your install location you will find the folders to put mods in.

[Xalpen]

V6 sound is pure awesomness. I'v noticed that in last trim tab theres no engine selection option, while i cant scroll engine family thingy, thus unable to fit premade engine. Is it intended?

[Killrob]

It is intended that way because it was unnecessary, you can do the same thing with less potential confusion with the drop-down menus on top, just select the engine there.

[Xalpen]

Yeah, thats the issue - I have many engines there and i only see some of them, cant scroll up or down so everything below some point is blocked by ui.

[titleguy1]

I really like the Beta! Only a few things that kind of irk me a little.

1) Load times. Changing tabs can take a loooooong time, man.

2) Years. Why does the game choose a random year every time I open sandbox?

3) V6 sounds. They sound great up high, but they should be "all about that bass, bout that bass, no treble (I'm soo sorry, had to)..." but mostly high-pitched. Maybe tweak them juuuust a little?

Otherwise, I like the update a lot!
