Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

That's the tire design we have here) maybe someday they'll change its geometry and the wheels will be like wheels in feel)

 

a Few things i'd like to bring up:

1. I am once again petitioning for an option to downscale the UI:
Many parts of the current career mode UI layout are barely usable, or outright don't work on my 1366x768 screen.
For example, the introduction banner, I had to use keyboard shortcuts to press the confirm button because it wasn't on the screen at all:


Also, with such a small screen and with a trailer attached, the cargo management menu becomes almost unreadable, I can only see half a line of text in the mail-slot sized space left for the trailer's list of contents.
If at all possible, I think even just an option to scale the UI down to a hardcoded 50% value would suffice.

2. A minor grievance with the current part purchasing system, is that you can't purchase a part without all of its subparts.
In my case, I bought an H25 passenger van, and sold the passenger body so I could buy a cargo body. this unequipped all of the body sub-parts of course, but this meant I now had to also buy $10,000 extra of all the default sub-parts.

I can manually sell the unwanted new sub-parts to recoup most of the cost, but it's a fiddly overcomplication, and would be improved if you could at least remove them

3. I came across a bug with the parts system while sorting out the aforementioned H-series, it seems like all the new subparts that matched a part already sitting in the inventory, adopted the paint colour and mileage value of the old parts, so I've got brand new doors with "147,000km" on them which are black to match the car, but their monetary value is the same as if they were new.
The parts that didn't have an identical copy, like the "hood" vs the original "late hood" were unpainted and showed 0 mileage as they should.

 

I personally think that the ,,My Parts" section of the garage menu could do with some tidying up. Not only are the parts listed without any order, there is also no search function in the ,,My Parts" menu. It would be nice to have the latter, along with a proper order.

 

1440 by 900 should fix it, it doesn’t really decrease performance that much

 

Sweet, I'm hoping the FFB crew does something about the controller/gamepad FFB. I look forward to any new career-mode stuff, so keep it comin'.

Did you recognize the movie gif? Or did you just like it so I'd feel good?

 

Sweet. I saw the movie and thought it became one of my favorites immediately. "It's the humidity that gets you"

 

I made this post on the Update Speculation thread in response to some of the recent talk about semi trucks

It got me thinking, as I don't think I've seen any devs have input on this.... @ james, do you have any thoughts you can share on market variations for the car roster as far as how it will affect career mode? Personally I would love to see how that would shape the meta for the player's garage, but I could see the vehicle team being hesitant to make vehicles that would fit similar niche's just because of a career mode market limitation.

 

Did you mean to "@" @krallopian?

 

I wasn't trying to ping him but I guess there's a forum member named "james" I accidentally pinged

 

Don't worry, they have no messages and were last seen the day they created their account, in 2015. They probably don't mind!

 

so im encountering this bug whenever i play this race, even if i dont hit anyone, i can not get the colide with other racers no less than 5 times star, ive also done other runs with 1 or 2 collisions and same happens

 

Thanks for the response! So do you think that once that day comes the team will take a fairly realistic approach to regional market restrictions for cars, or will it be more open for the sake of gameplay balance/dev recources? For example, would we need to have a relationship with an import company to get a JDM BX on WCUSA; not be able to have a Gavril T-Series on Italy; vintage Euro cars be fairly rare to find for sale in US maps, etc?..

 

yeah the wording was pretty odd, i would assume its not hitting people since its a race and not a demolition derby

 

this don look normal
how tf do i got 1000 stars
