Number Plates

#1 Post by CTclothbagco » 18 Jul 2014 12:36

I was looking through my trucks in the Garage Manger, and I've just noticed (after all
these hours) all the trucks have the registration plate starting with "S", e.g SA, SL, SM, SV
which shows being registered in Scotland. I have my home base in Aberdeen, but just wondering
how the game works out what the start of the registration plate is.

If I go to London and buy straight from the dealer I would expect it to have something
like "LB" as the start of the registration. Or are the determined by your home base?

Registration plate data is stored in def\city\<id>.sii and is dependent on garage for all countries in game. It is because up unil recently, vehicles in the UK were registered at point of delivery, and were transported either on a transporter or on trade plates. All cities in Scotland use S registrations, just as Manchester and Liverpool uses M, and Carlisle uses P. Now, they are registered at the dealer, but the game doesn't reflect this.

Hmm, I know how the number plates work in real life in the UK, just wondered how the game worked it
out.
