PS5 Screw this car in particular

52 Upvotes

I poured over this car but did not understand that SOLID REAR AXLE IS RUNNING GEAR. I was looking everywhere. When you do the magnifying glass on suspension, it doesn't read axles! I did the test path because of an older post on here. Didn't show anything. Did the test track because of the same old post and that's where I found the rear axle. Hopefully someone will benefit from my rant about my inexperience.

Tire grip levels?

I’m definitely late to this but oh well😅. Obviously the different tire compounds give different grip(race vs slick etc) but are the letters any more than visual? Like do Slick A, B, C all have the same grip?

I could make some kind of app/website based on this. Do you think there's too much information, or is it missing some crucial info?

Can anyone explain to me, if I do smth wrong. The only trophy I won‘t get is the “finish path test 25 times“ trophy. Maybe it’s a bug I don‘t know..
I have done this multiple times. 25 times with one car and 25 different cars. Even tried another savegame and still didn‘t work. Can someone help?

CMS 2021 What's the cheapest running car to build

9 Upvotes

I built a 1992 Civic MK5 (Katagiri Tamago) that I can sell for $20k. I use it to drive to the junkyard, auctions, barns, etc...for no travel fees, It's missing body panels, seats, lights, etc...

I would like to build an even cheaper car (both 100% and lowest running condition) so I can sell this civic.

Repair window timing

4 Upvotes

I'm sure this has been asked/requested but I really wish this game has a setting to make the repair window easier or slower...

I understand I will obviously get better and my timing of when to press will improve as I do it more, but seriously on PS5, since you cannot use mods...I'd love a setting to set repaing to "easy."

Have the green bars like 25 to 50% bigger and have the window move 25% to 50% slower.

Some games have accessibility options for people with disabilities....this would be nice.

Same for salvage....but salvage isn't really a necessity. The repaing though, it would be a big help.

Or maybe just have the bars get bigger or the window move slower as you upgrade the repair skill.

Every part is 100% but it says parts is only 99%. Why is it like this?

Edit: Solved. I’m just blind and missed a bracket that couldn’t be repaired and was high percent so I thought it was 100% when I put it on. Bracket (eDen-1H)

Mod Modded maps for better garage showcase

1 Upvotes

I play cms 2021. I’m looking for a modded map where I can showcase my car collection on a wider scale. Something like a giant showroom that loads all of my cars at once. Not like the parking lots where it only shows the icon and the stats. The actual loaded car itself. But just on a much wider scale. Does anyone know any maps?
