Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game News

This is an update for the current LCV4.1 version which makes your Automation cars compatible to the latest changes that came with BeamNG.drive v0.23.

The paint now properly pops, like shown by Kueso's Automation car here in Beam v0.23.

The exporter now uses the new BeamNG.drive Physically Based Rendering (PBR) material system, so you should see your Automation cars tap into that new potential. On the other hand, we do expect there might be some problems, as it is a big change to how things work. For LCV4.2 a lot more adaptations are planned.

Please note: You will need to re-export your cars in order for the changes to take effect!

There will be some wonkiness especially with pearl paints.
Please let us know about any issues you discover!

Cheers!

Steadily marching towards the next big milestone update LVC4.2 it is becoming more and more clear how much of a game-changer that update will be for Automation as a whole. It sure is taking a while and we appreciate your patience in this!

To keep you informed about the upcoming changes, what we're working on at the moment, as well as to give you some insight into the why and how discussion, we have just released another Little Dev Update video. Once again, it probably rather should have been called "medium-to-large-sized dev update". In case you missed it, I've added the previous dev update video as well!

We're stoked about these new features and gameplay changes and looking forward to the time you'll finally be able to try them out for yourself once the openbeta hits! Of course we will keep you updated along the way. :)

Cheers!

* Small fix to BeamNG.drive user path change to just use major version number for the user folder.
* Fix for Markets Display

* Fixes for BeamNG.drive Exporter to correctly support custom user folders.

This little update just changes one little thing: it makes our exporter aware of the new BeamNG folder structure that got changed in their recent update. That's all!

Cheers
