Real AIs Plus

Description
This is Real AIs Plus - the updated, enhanced and amended edition of the RealAIs mod.
Current version: Fix 0.52 - Car type popularities fixed
Previous: 0.51 - adding CVT mechanics and Watt's Linkage, as well as a Semi-Active Solenoid suspension option. (+fix: updated city alignments to newest base city files from game)
First version: 0.5, counting one major up from the last Real AIs version (0.43)


Differences to Real AIs:
- Introduction of new components - starting with a proper Wankel rotor count mechanism. This will be the focus for this modification.
- Rebalancing of some components, starting dates, requirements and popularities. This means: Two-Stroke engines finally stand a chance for light vehicles until the 1950s due to higher rev limits, DCT transmissions do not pop up in game until much later, recent developments and government steering efforts in for Electric mobility are taken into account. The popularization of Diesel engines in the early 2000s is reflected.
- Roadmap: Contract overhaul. This will spawn idfferent and more types of contracts. May take until 2020.
- More of the Real AIs core features: In the course of time, I will add more AI marques and logos, more Names for components and vehicles. I am still missing some GT2/GT3/GT4 series, that I would like to be in the game, too. These changes will probably be carried over to the original Real AIs mod, too.

Over 2000 subscribers (August 2019) already enjoy these "Real AIs core features":
- >70 AI companies with their respective names for the Base City Map
- Alternate starting mode: Less Cash AIs, leading to volatile companies in the early years (much smaller ones, too!)
- >200 instances of racing series with changing rules over time. F1 moves from the early years (1500cc supercharged engines) to the turbo era, the V10s, V8s and finally Hybrids of today. Formula E is here, too. You can compete in the Group C!

I do hope you enjoy this mod! If you encounter any errors, mistakes, imbalances: Please give me a shout in the comments!

@KevinStorm, Regular GearCity mods do not work on 2nd Gear. It is highly recommended not to port mods to 2nd Gear. As such, until we complete the DLC, there shouldn't be any 2nd Gear for another 3-5 years. Also please limit discussion of 2nd Gear to our official forums please.

@Plotz, 2nd Gear is a crowdfunded DLC for GearCity. Currently, only contributors have access to it. Once we complete the development of that DLC, I'll release it to everyone for free.

@teddy_lebt, maybe I can find some time this weekend to fix the issue with the racing series. No promises, though!

What's second gear?
I recommend unsubscribing and resubscribing. Not sure if it is viable to mix and match with any other assets and mods, as it would definitely require merging some xmls.

Getting an error about a missing PlayerLogos XML when I try to run 2nd gear with this mod.

@Tora Tesla is not a car company. They build computers on wheels.

I noticed some errors in your RacingSeries.xml file: some of the races have the same id, namly
"European Formula 3 Championship" and "Formula 3 Europa" both have the "id=46"
"Rolex SportsCar Championship" and the "12 Hours of Magny Cours" both have the "id=104",
"id=159" and "id=203" aren't used at all.
I didn't yet play long enough until these series are active at the same time, but I can imagine, that this might lead to some kind of trouble.

I like your mod. :steamthumbsup: Great work! :cms18wrench:

Yup because Tesla is not really a car xD

No Tesla logo? :steamfacepalm:

Oh... nevermind, just read the description of the previous version. Sorry.
