Generic Suggestion: Include a resume session (lap race) in online

Hi Kunos.

Please, could you include a resume session label in online mode? If you have entered into a lobby, and you've forgotten to see how many laps the race is (or simply you've forgotten the race duration), you don't have any way to see the race duration. This is important for refueling your car before the race. I think this is not a complicated feature, and it would be very useful.

If you are in the grid of a race (waiting to the start of the race) and you want to refuel your car because you realized the race will be longer you thought, it's no possible to refuel your car (online mode not possible, it's possible in offline mode), and you will have to pitstop in the middle of the race for refueling the car...

Thanks in advance.

 

Agree, that small detail would help me A LOT !!!!!

 

I either forget to look, or forget what it was somewhere around 100% of the time in online races lol. I get all wrapped up in qualifying and lose my mind.

 

It would be great to have the possibility to modify your setup even on the grid, right before the race start.

 

This. I'm always forgetting to check how many laps the race is.

 

sent to the dev working on it.
Can't make promises tho

 

I hope this feature will also be added to career mode.

I also hope that the ranking will be correct at the end of the race, now only show the fastest lap instead should show the total time with the detachments.

Sorry for my english, use google translator.

 

Haha yes yes yes!

Kunos, are you listening? Something like that is so basic. C'mon guys, lift your game!!! I am super grateful that you guys have produced, what sounds like from your passion for racing/motorsport, the most remarkable physics system.

I've played a lot of iracing. I've played Project Cars a lot too, but I'm sorry there is no bigger immersion killer than physics that far away from Assetto Corsa's.

Anyway guys I've gone on a tangent here, but Kunos are you listening?

Regardless of how good you guys are in many, many ways, it is INEXCUSABLE to not be able to see how many LAPS the race is once an Online Session has started and is either in the practice or qualifying stage.

I mean what a disconnect!

You guys understand so much, but why are these things being missed?

You have no idea how much fuel to put in your car, what tyres to use, what the pitting strategy will be.

To be honest here I have just gotten use to this. This being part of Assetto Corsa's DNA because their quirky Italian company who is misses fundamental things all the time!

And then I saw this thread and thought you know what, YESSS!

Why should I have to point this out to Kunos?

But you know I will!

So I did.

Here I am!

Your game has been out for almost a year!

THINK ABOUT THAT

ALMOST A YEAR

AND WE ALL HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY LAPS THE RACE WILL BE DURING ANY SESSIONS PROCEEDING THE RACE.

By "all" I mean every single one of your customers. Your loyal fans base. ALL OF US!

How is it possible in this day and age the OP has to start this thread?

Bravo OP (original poster)!

Bravo!

You went to the trouble of taking a screenshot, editing the photo, and then putting this thread together.



Good stuff.

And know I've gone on my biggest rant ever buy some margin. No Kunos, I'm sorry but this is not like me or in my personality to even Rant in the first place.

BUT you guys are a special bunch and you've brought it out in me.

All that matters to me in that you start making fundamental and basic fixes like this. C'mon we're not all idiots. We know this kind of fix takes zilch time and shouldn't have been missed and consequently shouldn't have to get pointed out almost 12 months after release.

Again to repeat myself, in this day and age? Really? Is there really no one hands on testing the console at certain consistent points throughout the year?

You know.. because.. you care? About your fans. Our playing experience.

... Or just flap all of that and let's go back to the fact this is a SIM and no indication of Number of Race Laps ahead when playing Online is a hilariously poor thing to no pick up/notice in all your months developing this game, and furthermore since it has been released.

Now, to finish on a lighter note. Kunos, you guys have outdone yourselves in the new AI difficulty/aggressiveness update coming out next. I have been Youtubing it and it's remarkable and I cannot wait!

*edit. Just wanted to add that of course some of us fans are extremely disappointed that many fundamental and OBVIOUS errors have remained. All the meanwhile, MANY dlc packs have been released. Which I've bought some. I get it's "business", but you could/should have put more resources aside to improve the core game for all your (deserving) customer who purchased the game on the PS4. Perhaps their is more selfishness than most places at Kunos. Please no one defend that. Rookie misses that don't get fixed... but tens of thousands of hours working on new content they could charge us for.

 

i would like to see best lap times as well as total time.

Agree that some simple things are missing that should be there without needing to ask ( such as the request in this thread), but they are still improving the game. They haven't released a game with bugs then 2 weeks later announced a sequel. Nor have they released a deal game like F1 20015 then released a better version a year later.

If it's a choice of Kunos being like other devs or being as they are and missing a few logical things in the game before being asked to add them, well I'll take Kunos as they are.

 

No, but they did release a SIM RACING game WITHOUT Custom Online Lobbies (among so many other things. Was thinking earlier I easily have 7 or 8 very basic things that haven't been included, ALL other sim racing titles have, and ALL ruin the experience big time!) and then proceeded to produce dozens and dozens of immaculate cars to sell as DLC.

Anyway I don't want this to go off topic and I don't want to further criticise Kunos. It's important that they notice this thread and start addressing more of the BASIC things that have been missing from a COMPLETE????? game from day 1.
