Racing and contracts on new generation

It`s either a bug or unintended mistake.

As new Gen car is developed all contracts getting cancelled and racing teams deleted.

I believe it should replace racing car with new gen (requiring to deliver) and continue contracts by delivering new gen as it`s always a better car regardless.

I had to pay over 10mil in fines after my army VAN and Truck got new gen development finished...

Thanks,
ZyZla

It's neither, it is working as designed.

If you end production of a vehicle, it will end racing teams and contracts.

New generation of vehicles ARE NOT the same vehicle. They are an entirely new vehicle design that shares the name of an old model. When it comes to contracts, the buyer did not order the new design, it ordered the old design. You can not just change the design agreed to anytime you want.

When you have designs that are in use in contracts, do not use the End Production, replace, and scrap feature. Do it manually by removing the old design from sale, waiting until the contracts end, and then manually end production. (When it comes to race teams, you'll have to manually replace the models.)

at least for racing it could AUTO replace model instead of requiring to create new teams on each series.

It can't work like that due to the contracting requirements and the model restrictions in racing.

In the past, we used to leave your old design assigned to the series.

this would work as amount of cars required is already delivered, therefore it would not require for you to setup new teams.

other teams doesn`t stop racing your old design for the rest of the season.

Plus it`s strange that we are able to change to completely different car/engine mid season anyway

How do you figure that all the contracted vehicles are shipped? You can trigger an end production at any time, even when there are contracts outstanding.
