Taxicabs AI pack updated to version v1.4!

Update brings taxis for Croatia, Switzerland an UK, and adds more taxicabs for more variety to few countries!!

[ external image ]

Update brings taxicabs to these countries:
- Belgium - 1 additional taxi (Skoda Octavia)
- Croatia - 4 new taxis (Citroen C4, Dacia Sandero, Renault Clio, VW Golf)
- Germany - 1 additional taxi (Tesla Model Y)
- Italy - 1 additional taxi (Peugeot 2008)
- Romania - 2 additional taxis (Dacia Sandero, Skoda Octavia, added 1 new variant for Dacia Logan)
- Switzerland - 3 new taxis (Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Tesla Model Y, Toyota Prius)
- Turkey - 2 additional taxis (Dacia Duster, Dacia Logan)
- United Kingdom - 4 new taxis (Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Skoda Octavia, Toyota Prius, VW Touran)

Changes:
- Changed taxi sign for all Italian taxicabs to realistic one.

Reminder - Two taxi density settings.
For those, who want to combine my Taxicabs pack with Jazzycat, for those I made an add-on, with higher density of taxis in traffic. This one has to be placed above main mod in mod manager.

Mod now includes both main mod and density add-on. Rar file has to be unpacked and mod(s) placed in mod manager. Again - main mod for SCS traffic only, density add-on placed above in mod manager only in case you are using Jazzycat's AI pack.

Thanks, @Egon. My feedback for the previous versions was to increase the spawn ratio a bit. I'll go test this new version now.

Taxicabs AI pack was updated to v1.5 !

- Overall spawn system changed - taxis now spawn only in cities. No more taxicabs on highways or country roads (although they CAN leave the city and for example drive behind you anyway). I would like to hear feedback about the density settings, if it's sufficient, or I should increase the spawn ratios.

- Added new taxicab for UK, and it's the first car in the pack NOT base on SCS vehicle - iconic LEVC TX! It spawns mainly in London, but you can meet it occasionally also in other UK cities. Model is very lowpoly, I did what I could with the textures and such, but it definitely adds atmosphere to British cities. Right now no more taxis are planned as I am fully concentrating on developing my own AI pack.

- UK taxicabs system also changed. To limit other taxicabs than LEVC outside of London, UK taxis now spawn in selected cities. For London only LEVC and Addison Lee (VW Touran) taxis are allowed.

Reminder - Two taxi density settings
For those, who want to combine my Taxicabs pack with Jazzycat, for those I made an add-on, with higher density of taxis in traffic. This one has to be placed above main mod in mod manager.

Enjoy!

Quote removed - Don't quote images - Rule 2.3

I still think taxi density should be increased a bit more. After version 1.5, I rarely see taxis in any country except Turkey, where I might see two. In version 1.4.1, at least they were mostly common outside the city. I'm using Promods with the Jazzycat and Traffic Maniac packs, plus your additions to all of that.

Thank you for the feedback :) I will wait for more people to react, and might increase the ratios for next version.

@Shishoro - Kua
Wouldn't it be better to increase the "g_traffic" value in the console from 1 to, say, 2, 3, or higher to see more taxis :?:

I personally use a g_traffic value of 6 and have no complaints about the lack of taxis.

@JigSaw No because that also increases the amount of everything else, not just taxis.

Thanks for this mod. For me, the previous version 1.4.1 was perfect. In the US, taxi cabs are practically only used in urban areas and not on highways, but in Europe they are, and I honestly find it difficult to stop them spawning there in version 1.5. However, I think it's very good that LEVC is limited to London.
