Tow Truck Improvements and Visual Feedback

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
In today’s devlog, we’ve got a few updates related to the tow truck and some recent changes made in the demo version.

At the moment, the only way to load a car onto the tow truck in Car Dealer Simulator is by using Parking Mode and pulling the vehicle up with the winch.



Previously, if the parking sensor detected an obstacle and the ramp area turned red - it was impossible to extend the ramps.

In one of the latest demo patches, we added visual feedback: now, the ramps will gently "bounce" if something is blocking them.



Similarly, when you're trying to pull a car onto the truck but something's in the way - like uneven terrain - the vehicle will bounce off the ramps, letting you know it’s a good idea to reposition the tow truck slightly and try again.



It’s a small touch, but it makes using the tow truck feel more natural and intuitive.
Thanks for all your feedback - it’s what helps us keep improving!

See you in the next devlog! 🚛💥

New in the Demo - Portable Radio Now Available!

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
Welcome to another devlog! Today we want to share with you a new feature that was added to the demo with one of the recent updates - the radio! 🎶

You can now make your time at the dealership or workshop more enjoyable by listening to your favorite radio stations.



📻 You’ll find the radio in the back office, in the player’s room - it’s sitting on the table. Simply walk up to it and press the ‘E’ interaction button to pick it up. You can carry the radio anywhere you like - for example, into the workshop to make working on cars even more fun.



🎧 While holding the radio, press and hold ‘R’ to open the familiar radio station wheel menu - just like in the car. And that’s not all! When the wheel menu is open, you can use the mouse scroll to adjust the volume.



It’s a small addition, but we believe it adds some nice atmosphere and good vibes to your in-game workdays! 🚗
