    Hey I've been noticing for a few weeks now that the black screen (the one used for transitions in Career Mode) isn't properly adjusted and there's a small gap at the bottom.

    can also confirm image uploading does not seem to be working on the forums as of now (it says error parsing the ZIP file)

    So, where are the save files for career mode located? I've been able to find where the values for the delivery items are (PC -> C: -> Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> BeamNG.drive -> gameplay -> delivery), but I can't seem to find my save files. I tried looking in the AppData folder (User -> AppData -> Local -> BeamNG.drive -> 0.33). Am I missing something, or are save files inaccessible? Because I'd love to be able to use the career mode to figure out how many parts each car has, and how much they're worth (it'd be far, far easier in Career Mode than going through every single file for every single vehicle and the common folder).

    Career mode files are located at: AppData\Local\BeamNG.drive\0.33\settings\cloud\saves

    A'ight - now, I just gotta find out how to change how much money my career save has, so I can casually buy and sell cars and parts as I please.

    EDIT: It's under saves/Profile/autosave/career/playerAttributes.json. However, it doesn't seem like I can do anything about changing how much money I have in career mode.

    In the playerAttributes.json file, look for the line that says "value". It's a bit below "money", and right above "motorsport", at least in my playerAttirbutes file. Just change the # on the value line and tada. I gave myself 100 million.

    What I can't figure out personally is where to pick up fluids such as gas/diesel

    To my knowledge, that's only done at the Spearleaf Refinery.

    yeah, i found that out in the files after doing some digging but I don't know if its a level unlock or if its just an unfinished feature. The only time I've found it to work is when i manually edited the files to make it show the spots to pick up water/diesel. Gas still showed 0. I'm sure they're working on being able to haul more fluids but it just sucks for now cause that's easily the best way to make money in career mode legitimately.

    Ah, thanks. I tried it out on a previously-made save, but I think I messed up by trying to add money and the game got confused. When I adjusted the value instead of the money, it worked great! I've now got a tiny loan of $350 million to mess around with.

    Hi @krallopian , I know that this doesn't particularly relate that much to career mode, but I had a couple suggestions for West Coast USA since I know that you are revamping a lot of it. First of all, I think that the fire station should receive an interior, like the police station did, I think that would look really cool. I know there isn't an actual fire truck in the vanilla game, besides the off-road Stambecco, but it would still bring more life to the map and please quite a few players. Second, isn't it a bit strange that the downtown district is a little small? It's not too bad for Beam's standards, but it's still just a few blocks long. Any idea if it will be expanded? I know that this would be difficult, since there are houses where the streets get blocked off. I know that computers already have difficulty running West Coast in its current state. I know that you have said in the past that Beamng won't focus on buses for a while, but still when you do, could you give a different and unique style to the bus stops? Right now, there kinda dirty and old-looking. I live in San Francisco, which is what most of WCUSA is built of off, so I know how it could be just a little more realistic, though it already is very real. You can look at a picture of a San Francisco bus stop, they're pretty iconic. Lastly, the traffic lights. Compared to the new orange little lights at the new toll booths, they look really unrealistic and dark. You can barely see them, even during day. I think that they should be bigger, and much brighter. (Sorry for being a pest, I just think that West Coast has a ton of potential)
    I know this is a TON, and I'm absolutely not asking for any of it to appear anytime soon. You've done an amazing job so far on the map, my congratulations. That's all, thank you!

    I'm allliiiivveee!! Haha, apologies for the absence, I took a 2-week vacation and just caught up on modern television shows and slept in a bunch, it was very rejuvenating! :D

    Heya, great ideas and suggestions, lets go through them one at a time:

    - WCUSA's current size is optimized for our performance requirements, so unfortunately we won't be expanding the map or updating the fire station in the near future. While we'd love to keep growing the world, we need to ensure the best possible experience for all players.
    - Bus stops, updated? Stay tuned, I may or may not have seen the art team doing something in that regard ;)

    I appreciate your excitement for WCUSA - it's a passion the myself and the rest of the team shares!

    We're constantly working on improvements and new content that we think you'll enjoy. While I can't share specifics yet, the gameplay team has come up with a new and intuitive way to present gameplay to the player - primarily through the Motorsports Branch of gameplay and I'm really excited for people to experience it. I've often mentioned that I'm quite passionate about the Time Trials side of gameplay and there's now a real sense of progression with Time Trials coming together. There are some really fun 10+ minute laps that I've put together just this weekend that really get your palms sweaty!

    Stay tuned for official announcements about upcoming features and content!
    *cheers

    How'd you escape the cage that tdev locked you in ;)? Anyway, I hope you had a great (and well deserved) vacation! I can't wait wait for the next update and am looking forward to everything you're cooking up! I understand, it is perfectly okay that you want to keep the game requirements where they are now. They're quite remarkable, since this is one of the best, if not the best car simulator out there. If I think about a small improvement that could make West Coast even more awesome, I'll bring it up, though I'll try not to be a pest:rolleyes:

    Haha, it was much to Tdev's request that I took a vacation actually, it's quite encouraged for people to take time off, and enjoy life around here, it's fantastic! Also, I happen to side with, "one of the best car simulators out there!" ;)

    Don't worry about being a pest with WCUSA ideas or Career Mode ideas in general, it's great to hear what others are excited about!

    I think you guys should build in the construction sites. In the city there’s a lot of buildings that have been in construction for over 7 years! What the hell is going on with belasco city construction?
    I’m kidding. But i would love you guys to occupy those spaces with the new stuff you are working on

    construction sites are good places to deliver materials and commmercial vehicles to, they shouldn't get rid of them.
