Realistic Used Trucks Dealer

FAQ: Having Issues? Have you done the following?
1) Verify that you have the mod engaged in the Mod Manager

2) Verify that you do not have any other economy mods that may conflict using the same files in the Mod Manager

3) Wait 1-3 game days for new trucks to populate the Used trucks Dealer

@SomeNordGuy is there anyway you could adjust the price of used trucks?

Because the game is written to have base prices of the parts and then it uses age/mileage + damage to devalue the base price of that part using coefficients.. the short answer is no.

If you adjust the coefficients too much then the used trucks are too expensive or too cheap early or late in the game and then everyone gets frustrated.

But there is hope... Mod trucks (harven, smarty, etc)

Now.. if you find a Mod truck that has it's base part price structured on the low dollar end of the spectrum(cheap parts = cheap truck) Even as used trucks they can be dirt cheap.

If that Mod truck has a truck_company & truck_dealer folders then the game engine will use all of those build files as used trucks, (if they are coded correctly) Intentional or unintentional by scs developers, it is just working that way right now.

Also I and others have noticed that once used trucks are loaded into your profile they will sit there, assigned to your profile and may take 1-3 days to recycle /change/disappear.

So if you do unsubscribe or disengage the mod.. those trucks will stay in your profile until they time out in the used trucks dealer, which is anywhere between 1 to 3 days. Then the SCS Native/vanilla trucks will repopulate into your profile.

@SomeNordGuy

the profiles are created incorrectly
When I start I need a cheap truck
no longer at level 40

Response:
Your profile XP is what dictates which trucks are available to you. At first you only have access to day cabs, i cannot change this. There are mod trucks you can download without this limitation that will work in Used Trucks Dealer

@SomeNordGuy

need to add that scania RJL/ SCANIA NEXT GEN/ SCANIA TOPEDO AS USED TRUCK CAN BE SELL

Answer:

If any mod does not follow the SCS workflow, does not have used_truck definition, company_truck definition or does not come up in fleet configurations in your Mod Dealer... then it will not populate as a Used Truck.

there is absolutely nothing i can do, you need to contact the developer for that truck mod and let them know that it fails to be included in Used_Trucks

@Koizumi

as it states above it takes some time for the trucks to populate the dealer. Also, if you are using another economy mod it may be conflicting with this one so try placing this mod above all others.

Great mod! Thanks for making it, I really like having more choices. There is something that is happening, and I don;t know if it is this mod or some other issue. My first truck was an International 9900i, and I bought it used before I installed this mod. Recently, I bought a used Kenworth T680 after installing this mod. Long story short, using this truck, much of the long distance scenery now blinks about once every two seconds. It is a blink that happens at very regular intervals (as opposed to something like AA graphics flicker). I tested it by going back to older saves with the 9900i in the same location, and no long distance scenery blink. Again, not sure if it is this mod at all; I have 8 total mods loaded, all of which are from Steam. I have searched online for other graphics situations like this to no avail, any help is appreciated, thanks!

This mod uses updated native SCS files in the Used truck and mod dealer coding, There is a FAQ posted in the discussion portion of this mod.

If you are having issues with graphics post 1.50, the SCS forum Bugs threads are where you need to post the coordinates you were at and, hardare you were using(game log) and if it was a CTD crash to desktop situation.

You can check your game log for corruption factors, warnings and errors instead of just noticing the rendering being off. Then go to the SCS Software Development Forum and post your experience as a bug report.

Good luck,
