-Fix: Rare: Being in pits while Insim starts could falsely be interpreted as if you were on track.

Trip saving:

- The bonus money will stay, but for the time of catching-up to the original distance:
- No additional money will go into the bonus pot.
- The bonus HUD will show the number in yellow or red depending on how close you are to the original distance.

Version 6.07
-Upg: Improved fault tolerance for faulty/missing car configs
-Chg: Revised bonus system (see notes)

New bonus system:
The new bonus system consist of a growing bonus factor that tops at 1.5x at 150km
and fixed intervals at 25km. It will be somewhat lower at the beginning compared to
the prior system, however the general purpose is to motivate people to save
their trips. The overall income over 1,000kms is similar to the prior system.
There is also no maximum distance anymore (1,000km limit).

Note: This update contains a bunch of trip tweaks which may be temporary.
We need to find out whether the changes have positive or negative effects and
whether further tweaks are necessary.

Version 6.11
-New: Renting overhaul (user to user car sharing)
-Chg: MOT system removed

Renting overhaul:
- All rented cars are now real cars with their own VIN, etc.
- Rented cars produce income
- All private owned cars can be configured to be available to other users and different prices.
To make it clear: You can now make use of the cars you barely use yourself, by allowing others to drive them.
- The TC Dealer keeps a backup of 2 vehicles per type, however, user-to-user renting is the desired goal
- In garage screen, you can select the car you want to use. Own cars or rented ones.
- The TC dealers offers cars at 1.5x the normal rent-price. It's up to users to fill in the market and compete with prices.
- Rent KMs are measured in wear, not driven metres. High temps increase the wear, crashing increases the wear.
- Rent payments are no longer taken from cash, but from bank account after the rent session has ended (60-90s after)
- Rent earnings work the same way. You will see incoming bank transactions.
- Detailed renting stats are available soon.
- Rent prices are fixed at beginning of the rent session. Any changes by the owner while driving will be ignored.
- Setting prices for Teams is not yet supported as the management-website isn't done yet

There may be bugs. Please report them and don't exploit them.









Here you select the car you use. Owned or rented.
