The Feature Request Thread...

Feature Request: Ability to use mouse to click at a specific point of the time bar during replays

While watching replays, the only way to go forward and rewind is to use the FF or RW buttons. It would be a massive quality of life improvement to be able to click on the time line of the race and have the video move to that specific point of the replay.

 

Feature Request: UI change

A minor but useful UI change / behaviour change, when you try to join a multiplayer lobby and it's full (for example) or you can't join due to missing DLC, when you hit ok, it boots you back to the main menu instead of back into Multiplayer.

 

Feature Request: A couple of replay related things not sure if they have been asked for before.

Would it be possible to save an Instant Replay, at the moment as far as I can tell you can only save when the race is completed? I'd probably provide better feedback on things like AI issues if I could save the instant replays. I race in VR and trying to record the screen with your phone (their are probably better ways) while holding your VR headset so you can see both at the same time is somewhat challenging.

Also Instant Replays still seem to send the telemetry for some haptics (in my case the HF8 Pro) connected through SimHub. It doesn't happen on full replays I'm guessing because you are not "in" a race when viewing. Interestingly my Simagic pedal haptics don't vibrate but I'm guessing that partly because in SimHub they only trigger when pressed.

Just thought I'd ask, I'm sure there are many more important things on the list

 

Feature Request: blown diffuser sound for F-Reiza G3

Don't know if I am the only one wishing for this. The Formula Reiza G3 car which is based of the 2011 F1 season, needs the option for a blown diffuser sound. Please Reiza

 

yes but no update after an year, so hopes are really low... For me mid-save is a key feature for playing a racing sim.

 

They confirmed in February that it's coming with 1.7 later this year, what else do you expect?

 

Feature Request: Penalty system

With many complains about AI drivers PITing and forcing the player into spins, it is now time to add a penalty system for each time a driver forced into a spin.

 

Feature Request: VR Crop adjustment

An in-game VR rendered field of view crop adjustment

 

Feature Request: forced ghost cars for ALL cars in multiplayer during qualification, visible from far distance. Or zero ghost cars at qualification. Instead of the current "mixed situation".

At multiplayer during qualification it's a gamble if you can drive through the cars or not and it's to me completely unclear why and why it's shown so late that a car is a ghost or not?

This causes a lot of unnecessary crashes in multiplayer because people start guessing that you're a ghost but sometimes you aren't.

So my request is that there's a new option for multiplayer(and make one of the 2 default, the current way it's done causes chaos):
option 1. all cars at qualification are a ghost (and when all cars are ghosts that this could be seen from a much MUCH further distance)
option 2. all cars aren't a ghost

 

Why not set qualify to private instead? Then you do can do your laps without anyone interfering.

 

I'm not the host. I play in public lobbies, the default setting is now almost always with unexpected ghost cars, so almost all servers are hosted are with unexpected ghost cars unfortunately. I wish that they set that setting by default but unfortunately most hosts don't do that, so we keep crashing into each other during the qualification.

If the dev's are able to make either all cars ghosts or all cars non-ghost, then the issue is solved. If this is not possible, then it would be good to show a ghost car visible as a ghost from 500+meter distance, instead of ~5meter distance, then it's also an good workaround.

But currently it's completely unclear if a car is a ghost or not, that makes the qualification an complete gamble when cars are near. That's why I requested this feature.

 

Feature request: Time penalties being specified onscreen on the positions tower during the race.

If I end up with a penalty it will often say "+0s" on the positions tracker, and I'm left guessing how much of a gap I need to pull out to the cars behind. I find out after the race is finished how much time has been added. I'd rather know during the race, even if it's more realistic to know "Incident will be investigated after the race"

 

Disregard the disagree votes.

AI in online mode is terrible indeed.

Feature request: Improved lobby list whether to check if AI is enabled.

AMS2 server list is a massive downgrade from the good old AMS1. One instance of why it was better before is so simple yet beautifully efficient: 1[10]/20.

Moved from the AI topic.

 

Feature request:
An option within the race settings to run the next round with a starting grid reversed based on the results of Race 1. This would be a highly appreciated feature for online community championships.

 

Based on Game Build: V1.6.9.96
Request Title: Ability to save your own replays on Time Trial
Description: Add the feature to be able to save your own replays at the end of a Time Trial session (Or save your fastest lap) & Include telemetry in said replays.
Benefits: Have the ability to re-watch your best lap times on Time Trial so you can see where to improve and become a better driver.

 

it would be good to, but also an option to either adjust the amount of cars having reverse grid slot applied , or if not viable, have a reverse top 10 option.
More often than not the slower casual racer at the back end of the grid doesn’t want to have to deal with the faster and desperate to advance drivers coming at them , it often leads to increased incidents and less enjoyable experience for those involved.

 

Feature request: cycle between camera options

Hi! I don't know if it was mentioned before, but it would be good if we could cycle between camera options that we use. Right now if I would like to change from cockpit to bumper I have to cycle through every other camera. My idea is that we could set it in the menus. For example only cockpit and bumper and we could cycle between those two only.

 

You can *kinda* do this already by using your numers 1 through 7, I think 1 is cockpit and 4 is bumper. During replay just flick between the view you want with the numbers at any given time.

 

Feature request: Enginebrake adjustment
A have a chance for enginebrake change on the fly ? Thanks

 

Feature Request: During a previous AMS2 build, the Windows Desktop focus would stay on the game (ala ACC). You couldn't click outside the window of the game. Clicking on other apps via "Alt + tab" wouldn't minimize AMS2 even if the focus shifted to a different app.
Can we turn that feature back ON?
The reason being is because AMS2 will randomly minimize itself when using VR. During a race this can be racing ending and you won't know the game has minimized itself, the only hint you'll have is the image in VR will be frozen. At least with the Windows desktop focus forced on AMS2 the game doesn't randomly minimize. For some reason it was removed in future builds.
Please consider renabling this feature.
