Description
The GDC Logistics Realistic Economy Mod: Classic Edition offers a balanced and engaging trucking experience that's perfect for players seeking a challenge beyond the default game economy. While not as intense as the Hardcore Edition , this mod introduces realistic elements to enhance your gameplay without overwhelming you.

Key Features:

Balanced Difficulty: This mod provides a challenging yet balanced gameplay experience suitable for a wide range of players.

Increased Realism:

Truck & Trailer Wear: Experience realistic wear and tear, reflecting maintenance needs.

Improved Damage System: Accidents have severe consequences, with an increased risk of totaling your vehicle.

AI Driver Costs: Hiring AI drivers and operating your fleet comes at a more realistic price.


Market-Driven Economy:

Data-Driven Rates: Freight rates are based on real-world national freight data, including spot and contract rates. Adjustments simulate higher/lower rates for different trailer types, encouraging strategic job selection.

Dynamic Supply & Demand: Cargo availability can be affected by real-world factors like holidays or economic booms/busts.

Dynamic Cargo Rates (DCR): DCR is a dynamic pricing system for cargo, moving away from static base rates to a more realistic and economically responsive environment. Cargo rates fluctuate based on a combination of factors, primarily influenced by the real-life time of year, transforming the static market into a vibrant, continuously dynamic economy.

For a comprehensive understanding of DCR, including monthly market trends, analysis, and projections, download The GDC Logistics Dynamic Freight Market Briefing here [drive.google.com].

Additional Features:

Realistic Fuel Prices: Fuel costs fluctuate monthly, mirroring real-world trends. Access the latest data in The GDC Logistics Dynamic Freight Market Briefing.

Dynamic Day-of-Year & Weather: Experience a dynamic day-of-year system with realistic severe weather probabilities.

Unlocked Trucks/Trailers/Parts: All in-game options are instantly accessible, with money being the only limiting factor.
