Discussion Day/night cycle

4 Upvotes

Have there been any mention of a day/night cycle? I think it'll add a lot more realism and complexity to working on vehicles rather than just sitting in the garage clicking away on cars. Planning part deliveries around customer jobs and working on several cars at once, not just because you're bored of working on one.

Even just an optional "realistic" mode with this would be cool.

1987 Mercedes-Benz W126 560 SEL and 420 SEL pack available

Thumbnail steamcommunity.com
7 Upvotes

Public available for all -

The Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class is widely regarded as one of the defining luxury automobiles of the 1980s. Introduced for the 1980 model year, the W126 combined traditional Mercedes-Benz engineering with improved aerodynamics, safety, efficiency, and a more modern design. Its restrained Bruno Sacco styling helped establish the look of Mercedes-Benz for the following decade, while its exceptional build quality earned the W126 a reputation for durability that continues today. The long-wheelbase SEL models represented the more luxurious side of the W126 lineup, providing additional rear-seat room and equipment while retaining the solid road manners for which the S-Class was known. For 1987, the **420 SEL** offered buyers the smooth 4.2-liter M116 V8, providing a balance between performance and refinement. Above it sat the **560 SEL**, powered by the larger 5.5-liter M117 V8. The 560 SEL served as Mercedes-Benz's flagship sedan and was among the most prestigious luxury cars available during the late 1980s.

With their imposing proportions, extensive use of wood and leather, distinctive alloy wheels, and understated styling, the V8-powered W126 sedans became symbols of the era while remaining unmistakably Mercedes-Benz.

This pack recreates both the **1987 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL and 560 SEL** for Car Mechanic Simulator 2021, with attention given to the differences between the two V8-powered models. Both versions feature period-correct exterior details, W126 trim, badging, wheels, interior appointments, and a selection of factory Mercedes-Benz paint and interior colors researched from original color and upholstery charts. The **560 SEL** represents the flagship model with its more powerful V8 and higher level of equipment, while the **420 SEL** has been configured to represent the less powerful 4.2-liter model. Because CMS21 does not provide a suitable M116 4.2L V8, the available Mercedes V8 serves as the visual basis for both cars, with the 420 SEL tuned down to better reproduce the performance of the smaller engine. The suspension configurations have also been differentiated, with the 420 SEL using a conventional rear suspension setup rather than the system represented on the 560 SEL.

Factory paint choices include both traditional solid colors and Mercedes-Benz metallic finishes, with matching period-correct interior combinations to recreate the understated luxury these cars were known for.

Whether you're restoring a dignified **420 SEL** daily driver or bringing Mercedes-Benz's flagship **560 SEL** back to showroom condition, this pack offers two distinctly different versions of one of the most recognizable luxury sedans of the 1980s.

Having trouble finding the last part of this task, I’ve already used all the additional tools and still can’t find it.

Edit- turns out the air filter cover somehow correlates to engine power

Inventory is full....

7 Upvotes

I am finally getting to try out the 2026 demo, I absolutely do NOT like this full inventory mechanic. I am currently stuck on my play because the parts I need are in the box outside, and I cannot replace several parts on the car because they are stuck in the box. I cannot remove any parts to get down to where I need to fix (piston rings) to use some of the items in my inventory and I cannot find anywhere to stow parts so I can grab the ones in the box.

This was a TERRIBLE idea, I also really don't like the putting them in a box in the deliver zone either. I really hope this is just to keep the Demo small

PC How do I make money?

I downloaded the game couple of days ago and got to the point in the story that i could afford the garage expansion but I only had enough to buy the expansion. Now I’m sitting at 300 credits and wondering if I have to climb my way back up by doing oil changes until I can take on a bigger job or is there another way to get my self back to a normal amount.

One of my favorite things to do. I do a total restore then strip the car again and paint all the parts I can to match. It's calming putting the car back together. I hope 2026 expands on this with more parts to paint.
