I want to start by saying since the decision was made to switch the GDC Logistics Realistic Economy Mod to a paid mod; I will honestly say I've been quite a bit more motivated to get updates done and pushed out. I feel that my hard work is truly being valued and appreciated by fans and supporters, and for this thank you!

Our Patreon store is now active!
This will be the primary method of distributing the upcoming Full Version of the economy mod, and its additional features/mod add-ons.
We're still doing a bit of experimenting here to see what method will work best. but for now; Patreon members with free accounts will have the option of paying for the upcoming Full Version of the mod, and a limited number of its additional features/addons with a one time purchase, or they can upgrade to a monthly paid membership and have additional access to an upcoming wide range of additional features/add-ons and perks for their continuing support for the GDC Team.
The details will need to be sorted out and then provided at a later date in time, but I hope the brief description I provided earlier gives you a sense of where we're going.

Fuel Prices Update and Fuel Cards!
I've gotten around to updated the Fuel Prices for American Truck Simulator. This update only supports the default SCS Maps; however I will be attempting to get ProMods Canada and Coast to Coast supported sometime Sunday night.
For Classic Version Players, simply ensure your Steam workshop has updated for the latest version of the economy mod.
Hardcore Version Players will still need to download via Google Drive until I'm able to create a steam workshop page. Be sure to delete your "open beta" version if its still in your mod folder to ensure you don't mistakenly enable to the wrong version of the mod
Additionally, Fleet Cards are back! Our free Patreon and Discord Members are able to get access the Gallon Oil Premium Fuel Card for a 5% discount on in-game fuel prices; but you can maximize your fuel savings by making a one time purchase of our Navigator or Endurance Fleet card for saving of 15% and 25% respectively; or have it included with your paid membership to show continuing support as you take advantage of additional upcoming perks and benefits.
So long as I'm not mistaken, once you've made a one time purchase or remain an active paid member, you should be able to continue to download the fuel card mod at anytime for any future updates for them; BUT if this turns out to not be the case, we'll get a work-around figured out!
In regards to ETS2, fuel prices there still need to be updated! I do not have an exact time frame that I can offer for this at the moment, but I can say that I'm also looking to create a fuel discount card program for it as well.
I do believe you'll be able to use your pre-existing fuel cards for both ATS and ETS2! I will just need to import some additional file definitions to the fuel card mods and everything should work flawlessly!

That's all for now! Happy Trucking!
