Pagani... nope... not really happy
So apparently, you can only find the Pagani in the Car salon or the auction house... Problem is, I always seem to find them in 100% or near 100% condition. Now, I don't care if they cost a mint to buy, thats not the issue. The issue is this is CAR MECHANIC SIMULATOR, not, look at the shiny car that you don't have to restore simulator. So, now, I have to go into the config file (yes I know I how to do this, not the point.) And add it to the junkyard so I CAN restore it.

The point? Well, if I spend money for DLC, I should get something I can repair, so maybe next time, lets make sure if I have to buy a car in the auction house, it's condition 3 stars or lower, cause this is just stupid. OR, just state that you can only improve the car, not really work on one in the DLC. A little transparency goes a long way... there's not even a rust map for these cars.

Well, to point out the last point you made about the rust maps.
The zonda r is made from carbon fibre, carbon fibre doesn't rust. And as far as I know, the huayra is the same.
This is quite possibly the best dlc that red dot has made quality wise, the car models look good, the engines are great and it shipped with *almost* all the performance parts for the engines.

As for the main point of this argument.

You said it yourself car MECHANIC simulator, not car RESTORATION simulator. The paganism you buy aren't in mint condition, there's still work to be done

Sounds to me like you're complaining for the sake of complaining, you said it yourself, you know how to change the config to get the car to spawn where you want

And again, not even a rust map for it... that part, I don't know how to do... not much of a point for this DLC, nope, not buying the next DLC until I know it's not Shiny Car, Borring No Work Needs To Be Done Simulator. (long name for a DLC, but really describes this to a tea.)

At this point, your just buying the cars for the engines for future mods... this is just ♥♥♥♥♥. I was really hoping to actually work on these cars. Cost a mint to buy and you don't need to do anything to them, what fun... weeeee...

Do you even know what the rust map is for? Most of the cars In the game have the material body_paint applied to the painted panels on the car, the rust map tells the game where to apply rust, the zonda and the huayra body panels are made from carbon fibre, a material that doesn't rust. Why do you need a rust mask for a material, that doesn't rust

Why do you need to spend 600K for a car your just going to look at? My whole point. zero work needs to get done... wow... what fun oh boy, I can't wait to just stare at the thing I bought cause it's 100%.

And, you guys just can't let me be frustrated, it took me 3 hours to figure out I can only buy this car in Auctions and car salons in 100% condition... so to me, there is no point to this car. It's great you guys like it, I'm happy you can drive a car with the WASD keys and not have the driving mechanics wonk out on you, I really am. For me though, I bought this DLC under the assumption I CAN REPAIR THESE CARS. Kinda miffed that all I can do is stare at them.

Firstly, that has literally nothing to do with the point I just made, so I'm questioning if you're even reading my replies. Secondly, isn't that literally what happens with every car in this game? Restoration or just a quick fix from the auctions, you buy it, do the work needed, then sell for profit, or put it in your parking garage, where it sits there, looking pretty

Yeah, that's usually the point of this game and it's 2 other previous titles, forgive me for thinking otherwise. Why bother repairing them now, lets just go to puting them in the parking lot. Why play games at all, lets just go straight to the ending.

Which begs the question for arguing, if it's not a rustmap we need, then it's a dent map, or something else to show damage TO a car. I've been arguing this since 2015, engines catch on fire, or accidents happen where the body work is messed up along with the suspension, but what we get is just a rust map to show damage... which... okay, Carbon Fiber, I get it, but that doesn't mean a car won't have damage done to it.

I understand what you mean. I even don't like cars from auction that are nearly 100%. oh wait... only body parts and interior are 100% at 4 and 5 stars...
But i even don't like that and there are many many engine, susp parts etc. that can be repaired, replaced with tuning parts and so on...

No disagree with me, I've said my peace, I'm done, I think I'll just play something else and be very careful the next time I purchase DLC, especially with CMS.

Steady on guys - I think between you the truth is out there ! Dent Map - brilliant idea. Then Dirt map - some of the carbon fibre cars get scratch and paint fade. We should also be able to 'wear away' some of the clear coat (matt patches). Definitely we should try knock up some better rust maps - it looks easy (level 1 layer mask) but we need templates !
...I will try put the files into unity...?
