It seems to me that PD employ some relatively incompetent programmers. How they are unable to have a small index list of what cars you own (in garage + stockyard) to show in dealerships but instead just uses the cars in your garage to mark what cars you own is beyond me.

Why implement a feature when you know you're doing it badly?

It shows an owned checkmark in the dealership. What are you on about?

Only garage is considered... so far.


Not sure about the (in-)competence argument...

But not knowing which cars sleeps in my stockyard while doing a shopping tour is annoying for sure.

As Jim has said, it plainly shows the cars you own by placing a checkmark by them in the dealership. Before calling other people incompetent, you might wanna have a look in the mirror. ;)

But not your stockyard "archive"....as the OP suggests.
 
It only shows for what is in your garage, if you move cars to stockyard their checkmarks disappears from the dealership.

Ah, my bad. I did not know that as I have been keeping my cars out of the "stockyard" due to the fact that a lot of people are claiming that their cars have been disappearing from there when they move them there. Again, my apologies.

Nice to see you two around again Monatsende and Outeke. 👍

Please read the post before commenting.

Ah, I see you ahve now. Carry on.

I was going to delete this post, but I don't know how to do it, sorry.
 
Keeping a small list on the side should be simple for PD, just keep it updated alongside the garage and everytime you update the stockyard.
As it is, the owned checkmark is pointless and confusing.

Hey,

No need for apologies, we all read wrong every now and then.
But I've had no issues with the stockyard so far and got quite some cars archived there :)

It seems the stockyard is more like a black hole than a second garage per se

No issues for me, nor for many other ex-markerplace friends :)

We're all there, just not on the forum (many)

:lol: Ah I see. Well that's good to know that the stockyard thing doesn't happen to everyone. I still don't wanna risk putting my cars in there though until we find out why it happens and perhaps get it fixed.

Remember the days where these "owned checkmarks" never existed? Good times. Good times.

And when we had just 6 cars on track, no interior view, no damage modeling, a UCD, no tire marks on the road, couldn't paint a car after you got it, could only wash a car, no online play, and race cars/concepts had their own special section.

And we were happy!

So true. Kinda goes along the lines of money can't buy you happiness. More features in GT6 won't necessarily make you happy because with more features, comes more complications and more to complain about. Ironic how those two things run parallel to each other. Ah, the days when life was simple and things were good, those were the days.
 
Not surprised if the disappearing checkmark on stockyard cars is tied to the bug that eats up your cars that you store there. Lost already 150 cars that way.

yes, simpler, happier times

why spend resources implementing something badly which annoys us when you could just have left it

There are a few features that would be nice and would be fairly easy except for the fact that I would imagine they are using every byte of ram already so even something that seems simple can become quite tricky

The check marks not showing when cars are in the stock yard may be related to the disappearing cars issue and may be corrected in a future update, For now I would suggest not putting the cars in the stockyard.

I would also think that may not be to high on the list of priorities for them as the only way you would have enough cars already to need the stockyard would be through glitching.

At this point in the game I do not even need the check mark. I know which cars I own
 
yeah, i know i dont need the stockyard yet, but then again i dont need online either since i have a lot of career mode i havent tried.

by the way, i doubt the menu system is where they are most pressed for memory space

or just people are losing the ability to be satisfied.
