The "making of" book will come with the main release of the game.

This may sound silly (or it may not)
I preordered the game, does this mean i get the turbocharged version (V16 etc) or just the normal version of the game?

I'm guessing this question has come up already but I could not find it in the faq or search.
Are we going to compete against "fake" automation car firms in the campain or fight by ourselves to simply survive/make the company grow?
Can companies build brand image and achieve a reputation in economy cars or luxury cars which would sell more easily based on specialty?
And finally, could we compete online on a campain, choosing the duration of the game, the victory criteria and how quickly time passes? Ie. Start in 1950, play until 1970 with one year passing per day, 5 companies ( players) and goal, sell the most cars, make the most profit ect.

There will be AI car companies to compete against yes, otherwise it'd be very easy to sell your cars if there were no competitors!
Yes you can build a brand image, the exact details of how that will work, we're not sure yet.
Yes, there will be online campaign mode, but how the time scaling will work I'm not yet sure, I think it'd most likely be adjustable ingame, with players voting on how fast they want it to run at the time (like DEFCON)

Awesome! Thank you for the quick response. I feel silly I just saw some of these questions answered in the In/Out of the Final Game thread.

Well, I for one had never heard of beamng so thanks for the heads up!
Perhaps two small companies could come to some sort of mutually beneficial agreement? =)

Re: Automation FAQ - [Updated 27/1/14]
Indeed we did talk to them. Technically that is not really possible and our teams have other priorities to focus on.

Fair enough!
You don't know if you don't ask.

Re: Automation FAQ - [Updated 27/1/14]
I have the forced induction version of the game and my game has decided to not launch anymore. I get a pop up that says error code 4028. iv tried re installing it and its doing the same thing. I am running windows 7 high end gaming pc and the game went from working great to not at all...help!
Re: Automation FAQ - [Updated 27/1/14]
That belongs in the support forum, but hey, quick answer: that's pointing towards a corrupt install of the game. Try running the cleaner tool & reinstall (maybe re-download even) to fix this.

ok thanks for the help killrob. and sorry I didn't see the support forum until after I posted this
Re: Automation FAQ - [Updated 27/1/14]
I purchased my preorder yesterday but have yet to receive an e-mail with a game key. How long does it take?
Re: Automation FAQ - [Updated 27/1/14]
It's pretty much instant, check your spam and check if you use another of your email addresses in the purchase
