The Feature Request Thread...

As a future wish list I would like to suggest to consider if is possible to add the option on certain classes for the driver to choose tires brand . Each brand has unique characteristics such as cornering grid , durability at blocking , better on wet and to many features that can create an other strategic headache before a racing weekend adding real race conditions. And if I can recall probably the only to add this option on sim racing world.

 

Which racing series allows different brands of tires? They are usally homologized so nobody can get an advantage by having better tires

 

I would like to have a wet version of the time trial in the future.
Very fun

 

I would love to have the ability to control the timing of the pit window when using the mandatory pit stop setting. For example, in a 1 hour race, being able to specify that the pit window is open from minute 25 till minute 35 of the race.
Currently, the pit window opens very quickly after the start of the race, and stays open for most of the race. This causes the AI to take their mandatory pit stop on lap 2 or 3, rather than pitting mid way through the race.

 

24 hours of lemans does

 

A way to disable, turn off, or even hide the vehicle's dashboard. This can be done via the configuration menu or even a parameter in an .ini file.
This allows the driver to use only their external dash.

 

After driving the 2025 Nurburgring a bit more recently, I figured I would toss another request into the ring. This time, for the one and only Kissling Racing Opel Manta Foxtail.

Having been a staple of the track for many years, the Manta like the aspiring Dacia Logan, has become a fan favorite even after it's final race back in 2022 if I recall. Externally a classic racer, this car has seen numerous upgrades applied to it over the years to help keep it going even as newer cars appeared at the Nurburgring 24hr. The upgrades became so extensive, that some commentators have jokingly referred to it as a gt3 car in disguise, given that it had evolved so much that it was like a gt3 car without all of the aero dependencies.

Given the iconic nature of this car and its strong connection to the Nurburgring, I believe that this car would make a wonderful addition to the historical AMS2 lineup, as well as tie in nicely to the all new 2025 Nurburgring dlc.

 

Would like if there was a way to enable DRS at the Nurburgring in the F1 Ultimate

 

It would be great to have a filter for password-protected servers. I imagine the technology for this is already available in 2025. Just wondering if it's on the roadmap.

 

It would be nice if possibile to have a weather report\forecast (even better if not 100% rerliable) when you set random weather slots...I mean we have no idea what will happend and this is not exactly close to reality, when at least they know it "might" rain or similar.

 

Left of field one as it goes against the trend of realism, can you make an option that theres only once slick tyre choice in series with more than one tyre option for both online and ai racing? just so we can have straight fights. e.g. Option to run Only Medium slick and wets available in formula classic gen 4 for ai and user

 

I would absolutely love a proper LMP3 class (just a detuned and realistic JSP317)

 

My feature wishlist:

1. More trackside camera angles in replay
2. Free roam camera during playback (now, in replay mode, free roam camera is only for photo taking)
3. Saving a complete footage of time trial session
4. Show pit crews for all cars (incl. AI cars) in pit during replay as well as during gameplay
5. Faster scroll through time trial record (e.g. using scroll bar)
6. Same number of section split times as the actual circuit

p.s. I hope AMS2 will have Macau Guia circuit and more recent GT3 cars, like Ford Mustang and Ferrari 296

 

Option for reset to default single value on setup menu instead entire setup

 

A nice addition to the sim would be adding central ride height channels to the shared memory since the ones we currently have don’t seem to correlate well with actual car movement. It might say I have 20mm left, but the car is scraping. Adding a central channel to the front and rear would make it easier to understand what’s happening if that reference is the lowest point of the car in the front or rear. I also think adding the setup parameters to shared memory would be good since it means setup making would be a lot easier because all needed data would be there. No need to update it myself every time I make a change

 

More than that, it would be much better to have a proper aero channel that take in count spoilers\wings\diffuser (as with clicks we have no idea the AoA of wings). The math channel we use to calculate the downforce take in count mainly springs deflection and RH. Which is good in a way but bad in the other, as you might get strange results in just stiffening or softening suspension.

 

I would also add on this that adding fuel level and tire compound for each car on the track would be an awesome addition to Shared Memory, since some real life classes just have this information about other cars. I think there are already some of those entries in SharedMemory but they just stay empty.

 

I don't know if this is viable idea or not, just popped up my head if it would be immersive (or useless) to have pit presets extended to be like "Plan A/B/C/D", like they banter about in F1 team radio. Not sure if that work in a videogame setting, but think about it further:
- What if the game would take your starting tyres and fuel as input, analyze your current pit presets and have it calculate (simply and roughly) at what lap/time period you'd likely pit with each preset. And in game menu you could have new adjustable entry which will basically be like "Current preset (or Plan X) +/- number of laps".
It would likely be mutually exclusive with pit window function suggested above, but maybe not.

 

i think you can switch _strategies_ in the In Car Menu, no? I don't know about in-game calculating stuff but i've had some ideas about a little 'race engineer' mod that could do that...

 

Static tree's beside the track can really kill immersion sometimes, specally when it's a bad wheather like storms etc. Would be great to make some of them dynamic

Also, since manual transmission is animated beautifully for all cars, hope that paddle shifting will also be animated
