We highly recommend checking this box to save you time and frustration.įinally, you have two options. The checkbox on the center-right of the window (#6) will end production, scrap inventories, and replace the old generation vehicle with the new generation vehicle when the new generation is completed. You can find the total percentage of development costs in the upper right (#5). If you decide to change a chassis, the design will cost the same as designing a new vehicle.
An engine change is 5%, but it also requires the gearbox development costs for a total of 10%. If you change a component, you'll lose some of the discounts. The base development cost for a new generation is 15% of a new design's development cost. If you decide to change a component, you'll have to pay additional development costs (#4). Clicking any of these buttons will pull up the component selection window. These buttons are for component selection. In this panel, you'll find three blue buttons (#3). Then click the “New Generation” button (#2) to open the New Generation Panel. You'll need to select the vehicle from the list (#1) that you want to make a new generation of. In summation, there is no need to produce a new generation every year. Its parent model will remain the 1975 VENT Model A. If you were to produce a new generation of the VENT Model A in 1980, the game will display it as the 1980 VENT Model A. In the real world, companies would sell those 1975 designs that were built in 1978, as the 1979 VENT Model A. Even if you produce units in 1978, the game will still display them as the 1975 VENT Model A. The game only displays the generation year and not the model year in the name.įor example, if you designed the VENT Model A in 1975, the game will display it as the 1975 VENT Model A. Companies often produce a generation over multiple years. They are not the same vehicle models, even though they share the same name.ĭo not confuse this with a model year, which is the year the company manufactured that vehicle. A new generation is a freshly designed vehicle that matches in name and characteristics with a previous design. That is where the New Generation system comes into play. For components, the effects are smaller, but they will penalize your buyer rating starting at 15 years old. For vehicles, this design penalty begins when the design is 5 years old and increases every year after that. When this happens, your buyer rating will decline, and fewer people will buy your vehicle if there are other options. Over time, your designs become stale to customers.
