LCV3 - Familiarity?

[ProRic]

Hey guys (probably Killrob),

Is there anywhere I can see my familiarity in currect version of LCV3? I'm pretty sure I heard it was implemented.

Also... every new 1946 LCV3 start I find myself doing more or less the same thing... That is making an approx .9 litre I3/4 with a cheapo box interior and slowly building up from there. I'd like to see alternative ways of getting going than doing this, because it's getting a little repetative having to start the same way. It could just be that I'm not trying new things enough to get out of my cheapo mindset though...

The new sales formula seems to be working much better over time. I'm still not sure I trust the prediction algorithm at the sign-off screen though...

Cheers,

Rich

Anyone?

Oj! Sorry, I missed that at first. :)
You should be able to see the familiarity in the engineering tab, it is one of the columns and it displays your % time savings. This of course is not adequate to making informed decisions while designing the cars, so this week we'll start work on implementing a designers wide tooltip for familiarity and its synergies. It will also make it much easier to spot things that are bugged with the familiarity implementation. :P
Cheers!

Killrob, I think it would be really awesome if while you're adding those tool tips you could add a few more to explain the Tooling, Process, Reliability, Funding, and Pressure tabs. I'm still pretty new to Automation and A LOT of the icons and sliders lack tool tips, or accurate ones, so I'm pretty lost to what they actually do. The only way I've figured out any of it is by watching your youtube videos. Some better info for picking your factory sizes would be awesome as well. If it's too much for right now I would definitely settle for a youtube tutorial ;-)

All that is coming for sure :) it is not really playable without that info, so it needs to be in game.
