Keep yourself a healthy supply of calenders, my IM's are usually at the 75%+ mark, dont' lose em too often.

here's the formula for figuring out how many calenders you'll sell. Always have 10% more than the formula below.

=DL*(IM*(IF(HP=0,0.1,HP))*(CR/4))

DL = Driver Level
IM = Import models
HP = Model Happiness in decimal form ie. 50% = .5
CR = Credits spent working

IF = well, that's a excel function. This section (IF(HP=0,0.1,HP)) says use the happiness, unless the happiness is 0, then use .1

Now, you can drop this directly in an excel spreadsheet, by changing the DL IM HP and CR for the cells that you would put those numbers. This number gives you the center point of what you'll get. You might sell 10% more or 10% less. copy and past forumlas are below.

OK, what this is is the formula that I've come up with that works pretty well from Driver level 1 to 4. It should scale up, but it's possible funky stuff happens at higher levels.

the high =A2*(B2*(IF(C2=0,0.1,C2))*(D2/4)*1.1)
the average =A2*(B2*(IF(C2=0,0.1,C2))*(D2/4))
the low =A2*(B2*(IF(C2=0,0.1,C2))*(D2/4)*0.9)

edit, corrected the happiness description

IT WORKS!!!
BTW if you dont want to think hard its..
ims times happines times driver level times credits devided by four

YESS!! THANK YOU!!! I needed this thread... lol

Also:

Save your creds until you have a ton to use, it's a lot better than just using a little a lot of times.

Don't use too many credits to cruise or you'll max out your IM's and screw of your happiness if you can't race yet.
