The Feature Request Thread...

In regard to the UI, it would be cool to allow for modding it, specifically icons and names of car classes.

 

In replays for non-VR any track, and in Norsdchleife 2020 and 2025 also on VR, the trackside cams follow the selected car around the track TV-style (this is the desired behaviour). In (probably) any other track in VR, the trackside cameras don't follow the cars round, you have to manually change position and so you can't follow the race easily.

While this spectator simulator mode thing is a cool idea, in practice it doesn't work because most of us in VR have max visible vehicles set to some number, and the visible cars are chosen relative to the selected car not to our vantage point, so we hear cars going past but don't see most of them. Also this spectator mode shouldn't replace the trackside cameras following the action which have been a feature of every major sim since 1991.

What I would suggest as a compromise is, that if we select trackside camera mode it can go into this current spectator simulator fixed position but if we then click a driver from the list, the system should recognise we want to follow that driver and revert to following that driver round the track TV-style as it would with non-VR. If that is not possible then I'd rather have conventional TV style trackside cameras than the spectator simulator thing.

I have put this in feature requests but because of the conflict with max visible vehicles I was considering putting it in the bugs thread. If this gets rejected as a feature request then can they look at how the visible vehicles are selected in this mode as a bug please.
