GearCity 1.18 Progress

[Frankschtaldt]

Had a very quick play this morning and initial thoughts are that the new R&D UI is much better. Will spend some time on it tonight and give better feedback.

[Frankschtaldt]

I can confirm that I think the new UI is brilliant.
Who's been complaining about it and what's their issue?

New gui is fantastic. Best release to date i think!
user interface on designer is much simpler,

only one problem ,
mouse not working correctly on car designer sliders.
have tried changing sensitivity setting and hardware mouse , but still having same
problem.

As i said other than that am very impressed with it !

Ok , having played GC for a few hours i can't seem to work the new system.
have gone bankrupt in 4 different games. 2 of them on easy.
can never seem to sell many cars.
2. New rating system is difficult.
3.can not see what fuel milage and performance raitings are as easily as before.
4.can not meet most contracts like you could before.
5.while adding components to desing of engine they keep changing what cars the components are
suitable for.
6.when i built a mid size sedan in came out as a tourer and wouldn't sell.

1) Well not much of the system has changed since 1.17.5, two of the ratings are easier to get higher, and the vehicles are a tad bit cheaper.

Yes the game is harder than 1.17, but I am still able to run companies fairly easily in most of the world on hard. So you just need to get a little better!

2) How so?

3) Where are you looking for these ratings at? In the designers it is much more easy to see these ratings. In the selection windows, you are correct, it is harder to see. This is because they're not finished. Read my to-do posts above about what I am working on next.

4) Nothing has changed in the contracting code since 1.17.5. Almost all contracts are do-able in early game years.

5) Each Subcomponent selects a limited number of vehicles it would be good with.I will probably adjust this in the future.

6) Are you sure you didn't accidentally click an item in the list before hitting ok? The game has no way of automatically changing your selections. Not even the assisted designer can select vehicle types.
