Just another off the rails wishlist thread

I don't know how the discussion switcher to fixed setup ... but restricting tyre compounds per track should be easy to implement using a .ini file inside car physics data.

Fixed setup is not a good idea imo ... actually it doesn't sound "professionnal" at all

 

Cool vids!

 

because fixed setup would accomplish a lot (including the tyre limitation they said they might add.) being able to force a pitstop on multi car servers by limiting how much fuel can be carried. limiting tyres per car, this would open up a lot of possibilities for a mixed car race. plus some people will want to run fixed setup races, i gather your not one of them but you can just choose servers that arent doing that. it gives us the option to create a lot of varied events for mp all by implementing that 1 thing.

i cant understand your view that fixed setup doesnt sound professional. take GT cars in AC they have a minimum height which is a limit on setup, im certainly not up to date with particular race series but its fairly easy to imagine one where the setup is entirely or partially fixed, sometimes just 1 aspect like ride height or the entire setup. i'd take modability over professionalism any way, i guess racing a 60's TC against a modern road going fwd car isnt "professional" either... but it sure is a lot of fun

 

Well, if it's that way then it's cool ... i was thinking about forcing everyone to use one setup

 

Believe it or not there are lots of racers who would like fixed setups, only choice of tyres for quali, like it's been said, you and other(mostly abs/traction control running, non h shifter) racers just skip by that server please
This is to create closer and more competitive racing.

 

OMG!!

Sorry, I was just thinking about a Ruf CTR Yellowbird server that forced a fixed default setup. Nightmare territory.

 

Yeah forced h shifter too, and cockpit!!

 

Could you guys please make your own damn thread to bicker among yourselves about junk.....this is supposed to be focused on these live streams and right now people have to wade through so much muck just to try to find out what has been revealed or accomplished in them. The only posts that are needed are the videos themselves and recaps, but as usual, this has turned into just another *****fest and wishlist.

 

I thought it was a thread on what he's not going to do...sorry.

Since the playstation and xbox announcement what I was really expecting is:
-a huge amount of new tracks (its a must to survive in ps and xbox market, imo)
-rain and night (well, night is not on the list anymore... still hope for rain?)
-about leaderboards and leagues I really think its not a subject to deal with kunos, community is ready for take it on (RSR, raceme.io and so on... to be honest, just having a system like raceme.io working properly will be awesome news)
-improvements in pit stops... (lets see what happens till december (?))
-Live timing and transmission tools (am I too optimistic for expecting this in 1.2?)
-More variables and telemetry info (i.e. brakes and oil temps)

 

Modern games don't have that many tracks. PCars had around 25, Forza 5 had 15 or so irc. I'm not including variations as as with cars that can get a bit silly...

 

That's more the blame of the actual companies behind the tracks asking rediculous licensing fees these days.

 

And then nobody sees the actual news, and complains that they haven't announced anything new... lol.

 

and trend to release more track as paid DLC ..

 

Gold.

Welcome to internet forums mate. You must be new.

 

Just to put things together: setups are a big part of what makes a good driver, being able to communicate with your engineers and tell them what is wrong with the car, etc. And amateurs and low tiers racing drivers, even have to set their cars up. It's not like forcing tyres, fuel and that kind of stuff at all. It's part of being a driver, not a league or competition thing.
