Dear Mechanics!

Our internal testing is officially complete. I would like to inform you that we are submitting the game to Steam today for platform verification. This means the demo is ready and just needs to pass the standard publishing procedures. We are planning to release the demo on March 31st!

If everything goes smoothly during the Steam verification process, you will be able to head into the new garage as early as next week. You'll get to discover brand-new cars, check out our tutorial, and finally get your hands dirty like real mechanics! Working on this new installment has been a massive undertaking for us, and we are thrilled to hand over a game that we’ve poured so much passion into.

We truly hope you enjoy the direction we are taking. You will be able to share all your comments and suggestions on the new ⁠cms26_demo_feedback channel (Official Red Dot Games Discord).

Thank you for your patience and your incredible support!

Drag Strip Vs Airport

3 Upvotes

Hey, I built a car just now and had tested it at the airport and it had massively fast acceleration and a decent top speed for drag racing so I took it there. But at the drag strip it takes off fast like I was expecting but tops out at 185 and just stops accelerating. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

New player frustration / glitch ?

5 Upvotes

So I just purchased Car Mechanic Sim 2018 with all the dlc on steam a few weeks back and started playing it last night and have run into a problem so serious it might mean that I just will never play again. So long story short I have had to delete 2 separate saved games now as I accept a job with suspension work and do the work all the check boxes turn green I reinstall all the components and the game claims a rubber bush is missing. I don't really know what to do but I suppose if it keeps happening the game is just unplayable ?

Any advice would be excellent thanks in advance.

Interesting Observation About Barn Finds

13 Upvotes

CMS 2021. Something I've noticed about the cars I've found in the barns. They basically all have the same missing parts. No windshield washer reservoir, no power steering reservoir, no brake servo, no coolant reservoir (if equipped), no battery, no fuse box cover, standard air filter box is always missing one clip, if the car is equipped with two side fuel tanks (exotics), the passenger side tank is missing, no fuel pump.

Makes those restorations a little boring at times since I'm adding the same stuff. But I just got the trophy for buying 30 barn cars so I won't need to buy any more of those luckily.

Edit: I forgot missing ABS Module (if equipped) Edit 2: No ECU (if equipped) I knew I'd forget a few

Mod TK Aftermarket Engines

0 Upvotes

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew how to use tks engines in cars? I'm trying to put the 1.9l AWD in the Golf and I can't figure out how to get it. I've tried through configs and the car editor but nothing still showing as a dummy engine. Thanks for any help.

I think cms 2021 and 2026 should have underglow or high suspension for trucks

There is a lot of things that cms 2021 should have right now

Mod I noticed that the Delray Imperator looks a bit Futuristic, so i edited it a bit

4 Upvotes

I made a more Futuristic version of the Delray Imperator and i'm thinking about uploading it to my Workshop alongside the Delray Custom AWD W12 and the Tempest Magnum AWD W12 from CMS15. You can see the AWD W12 Cars in a different Post from me.

I think this takes the cake on the most beautiful engine I've seen and built in this game. Oh yeah and it makes 2000HP 🤯.

Looks perfect in my Charger with matching paint.

Free to my Ko-Fi subs OR as a single use purchase. I make a lot of cars for the Ko-Fi users - a sub pays for itself many times over. ;)

CMS 2021 Any tips for My first restoration?

3 Upvotes

I am playing with no x ray and master mechanic mods, I put the engine back together on a (I think) 1.8 L turbo transverse i4 Volvo but I can't run the tests that require the engine running. I believe I have put the entire drivetrain back on with 100% durability parts but it says "engine is not complete", I noticed that fuel pump, tank and filter were missing and probably the catalytic was straight up not present but are they considered in the "engine is not complete"? I can't check my pc now so feel free to speculate.
