Currently, the minimun amount of money needed for autorenewal and replacement is a fixed amount. This doesn't really make sense as I have often been frustrated by autorenewal not renewing my $7,000 bus as I have less then $100,000 in cash, and alarmed by the replacement of a $400,000 airplane while I am building a train network. Extreme, but valid examples.

I suggest that the minimum money needed for autorenewal and replacement be changed to be a multiplier of the cost to renew/replace the vehicle, where the multiplier is the number of vehicles to be replaced plus 1. In other words,

I have a feeling that this would have a tendancy to spend all of your money if cash is tight and there are not many vehicels to be replaced. Also, I think it would be better to calculate whether to replace or not individually for each vehicle as is done now.

Personally, I would like the system to stay as is untill someone puts an option in the replace vehicles box, ideally this would set either A) how much cash on hand you must have ABOVE the cost of the vehicles, or B) what percentage above the cost you must have to replace. Basically, this would ensure that the computer will not spend money if you want to keep a certain amount in reserve, but if you don't mind it using everything you can set it accordingly.

or mayby diffrent ammounts for each vehicle type.

i think, it should only replace the vehicle if you have twice the amount it requires to replace it, so, a 7k bus you'd need 14k, for a 400k aircraft, you'd need 800k. for an average 40k engine, you'd need 80k. i think its probably tuned for trains.
