    Request Title: Ability to increase shadow maps resolution.
    Description: There no setting in the UI or .INI file where we can bump up the Shadow Maps resolution. Lucky folks with an RTX 2080 Ti have plenty of memory on the GPU to handle a much larger shadow map.
    Benefits: Remove all the jagged shadows (even when shadow details is set to Ultra).

    Request: Hi-beams
    Description: Instead of just provided on/off cycle on a button, please provide the following button cycle (On-LowBeam, On-HiBeam, Off) or at a minimum raise the current low beams and make them stronger.
    Benefits: Better night racing and aligns more closely with other sims. It's currently hard to race at night. I understand the lights have been recently "upgraded" and projects further, but I believe we clearly need a high beam mode added the lights cycle.

    Request: Provide the ability to map Turbo & Fuel Map cycle to buttons.
    Description: Currently, the driver has to open the floating menu, and drill down to the fuel map, then cycle... and then close. That's a lot of steps to do quickly while on yellow flags.
    Benefits: Saves a ton of time and behaves like other sims...

    Request: Saturnation/ color slider+ fog/ haze
    Description: I find the colors in game bright and saturnated. It would be great to have some kind of mist/ haze far away objects ( mountains on background ) also on sunny/ lightclouded.
    Benefits: More realistic graphics

    Request: Support RTX Raytraced shadows and Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO). (long term wish since the market is small)
    Description: I know this would be low priority and perhaps would solely depends on the madness engine. The raytraced shadows would help the realism look so much and remove all the fake trickery needed to make the shadow maps work well. Having worked in animation and motion picture visual effects for 17 years, I can honestly say that whom ever supports this feature first, will win the crowd of most visually realistic sim by a mile... :)
    Benefits: Extreme bump in visual realism. It would remove all the jaggies and the "animated" shadow maps areas along walls while driving, etc...

    Based on Game Build: 1.0.0.1
    Request: Mid-Race Saves, similar to RF2, ACC, GTR2 etc.
    Description: The ability to leave a race and return at a later date to continue the race as it was. This can be accessed via a replay feature similar to RF2 or a traditional save button like GTR2 and ACC
    Benefits: Not only provides security for system issues or unexpected issues in longer races, but also makes longer races accessible for those who can't run such races in one sitting. Given the representation of classes from the Brazilian Endurance Series with race lengths such as 6 hours and the ability to run 24 hour races, this would allow many more players to reasonably access this.

    Request Title: Possibility to kick unfair drivers from MP in public games
    Description: As in any racing game, the wreckers who think it is about doing demolition derby are floating the puplic servers. No way for host to kick them from server right now.
    Benefits: People who want to do decent races have their peace

    .. and TC and ABS with correct levels ie.1,2...10 and none of the fake 0-100% nonsense.. Multi switch should also be considered and not just button up and down. Plenty of wheels now have multi switches and also button boxes..

    Believe or not, this was setup like that during the early access stage... one day, it just changed for the "hit buttons xx times" mode.

    My suggestions:

    - Yellow flag indications appear more frequently (I don't know if it 's a bug or the sim does not have this feature yet, but until now I have never seen a yellow flag indication to warn of an incident ahead, despite having the Flags & Penalties and Rules & Penalties settings to on. I only get the green flag, when I get past an incident)

    - Simpler menu to adjust the strategy (The current menu is very complicated. Many buttons required for a simple adjustment and you have to do all this while driving. To select the amount of fuel you want for the next pit stop, you have to press the button several times to increase or decrease the quantity, liter per liter. The best solution would be to be able to leave the button pressed to increase or decrease the quantity)

    - Animation of race marshalls waving flags and LED boards flashing the flag colors
    - Excessive wear and/or debris on the track causes tyre puncture
    - Mid-session save
    - Improve damage model
    - Improve water spray
    - Manual pit stop
    - Allow AI to drive your car
    - Allow time acceleration, not only the time, but also the speed of the simulator.

    Programmatically speaking, it's much easier and logical to do % based. You can still have your 0-10 buttons, but each would represent a 10% slice of the total Fuel Map, TC or ABS capacity. Furthermore, it removes the complexity and the incoherence between manufactures (Porsche Fuel Map 5 is max vs Ferrari is 1), etc.. Percentage based Map, TC, ABS might not reflect the exact car, but creates a very logic, easily understandable, and repeatable process for users across cars....
