[Discontinued] Practice makes perfect - Learn to back up your truck [1.2-ATS_1.47-20230429]

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

[Update 28.11.2023]
This Mod has been discontinued.
[/Update 28.11.2023]

Maybe, you are as lazy as I am and got away with taking the "easy parking" option for far too long...
Or maybe it is time for you as well to practice parking, backing up your truck and doing so by doing it over and over again!

This is, how it's going to be like, when you can do it: https://twitter.com/NoContextBrits/stat ... 3938451458

This mod will modify your Quick-Job / Freight / Cargo Market and will create jobs to other companies in a small (editable) radius around the current company location.

So: pick up a load and deliver it across town, to practice your parking skills.

Technical stuff:
- Works with all SCS Map DLCs and companies from base & Map DLCs
- Disables all other (SCS-)cargos
- if you have other mods adding companies or cargos, they will need to be taken care of by yourself.
- replaces economy and will give you XP only for parking :D
- change max distance in ./def/cargo/distance.sui or use batch files included in mod. (currently ~10 miles)
- extra long mod_description.txt included...

Suggestions:
- use new or copied profile with money & XP
- use with own truck & trailer (Quick Jobs needs mirror adjustment every.single.time.)
- use in city with Garage where you can park your truck & trailer.
- take it slow, start with a DayCab and a 32" Trailer :)
- adapt max_distance as needed for the city you want to learn parking in.

Please let me know, if there is anything that needs to be fixed/changed.

Practice makes perfect!
Have Fun!
