The Feature Request Thread...

If you ever feel useless just remember that Nordschleife S4 exists.

 

Pocono game files have already been discovered. Also Nascar licensed the NextGen cars, Daytona and Homestead Miami to the latest Forza game so the tracks nor cars are not exclusive to iRacing. I would hope that AMS2 would get Charlotte with the amazing Roval, Homestead too and possibly a short track like Richmond or Martinsville.

 

Forza aint no sim, but I'm with you. Some more oval tracks would be nice. Especially shorter ones. Right after we get Fuji, Mexico, Bahrain, Portimao, COTA, Shanghai, Hungaroring, Zandvoort, Lusail, Mid-Ohio, Sonoma, Portland, Mugello, Misano, etc.

 

What does being a sim or not have to do with this ? Oh and they also have the modern IndyCar while AMS2 still only a generic model. On the topic of Hungaroring we will likely never get it because Reiza said that nobody is picking up the phone, we should have already have the track.

And why AFTER and not at the same time ? Or rather before, since US stock cars are going to be added soon-ish since the game has the files already, there are 100+ road courses in the game now and only 4 real US ovals, needs at least double that to make sense.

 

I don't expect the iRacing stand-alone NASCAR game to be a sim either. I'm expecting something more like the F1 games by EA/Codemasters.

 

I think Reiza will add Oval that have infields to race, making me think of
Homestead, cause that was also on the GT1 calendar
Charlotte, cause it has the Roval and is the heart of american stock car racing
Pocono cause its iconic

 

Mexico would be possible.

 

Would be hard to laser scan the whole thing

 

How great it would be to have the classic and modern Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Especially since we got F1 cars that raced at that really bumpy & fast track.

 

iRacing devs never said it will be arcade, they always used the words simulator. Then again i rather the focus be on AI than super hardcore physics.

 

I'm really hoping we'll get a NR2003 type of game. But the sim seems to have been made for consoles, it took them a long time to confirm it was for PC, which is why I'm thinking it will be more like a "simcade".

 

The Columbus Street Circuit was another track that just came to mind. Would work really well with the Group-C cars since both the Corvette gtp and the Nissan equivalent raced on this track. Come to think of it, I'm not sure that this track has even been part of any racing game that I know of.

 

And even if it will be simcade then what ? I will always take a less realistic game with amazing AI, than one with top-notch physics and an afterthought AI. Which basically every hardcore sim on the market has AI that ranges from awful to meh at best.

The person from iRacing who was doing Q&A said they want to make sure it first feels good on a gamepad and i am all for it ! But they also have a deal with Logitech so they surely are making proper wheel support. I mean people say World of Outlaws 24 is a "gamepad game" which i agree is good for it but i can be so much faster and more precise with a wheel when i play it that way.

But this discussion is not for this forum so let's move on.

I am hoping AMS2 with the US stock cars will get more ovals and not only Pocono.

 

Please can we have a decent replay system , the present one is quite poor

big thanks

 

Thanks for reply Marius
I’ve tried to use it , it’s fine for basic replays but no tv style cameras that change to keep with the selected car
User cannot move/skip further into the replay or back ( one has to use fast forward/back)
Also annoying things like once car selected using a certain cam view then one changes car the darn view sometimes changes
very irritating

I know there’s a spectator VR cam that has to be manually changed to try follow car(s) around track but I don’t use that as cars usually to far away

to add I only use VR
-For replays in VR the view turning into a large flat screen to watch would be great but with good user control

previous reference is iracing & rfactor 2 my previously most used sims , both their replay systems offer more than enough features etc

thanks again

 

Would it be possible to store the track state every lap? so that in replay we can skip lap by lap? it would be a massive improvement over what we currently have

 

Hi I’ve just tried the replay on flat screen
Without vr headset
The tv style cameras that follow the car in this case & rest seems to work better cameras don’t change when one selects others cars etc

if it could work this way in VR that would be great even if it’s viewing (in VR) a large flat screen

there’s only 2 other things:
Allow user to pull the end of the red line back & forth so no need to wait for the x2or20etc speed

& the play button is a simple play only button it’s so irritating to have to keep pressing it to get normal speed most of the time users don’t want slow mo or any other speed than 1:1

if above points were sorted it would be a nice straight forward replay system

again again big big thanks

+ maybe look at the save feature too as explained here :

Saving Replays?

thanks

 

An option to enable RANDOM FAILURES for AI drivers only. For the player it is more frustrating than enjoyable, but seeing other cars have these retirements is cool ! The F1 games for example allow you to set if the player should have failures fully on, or only less severe ones, or none at all.
