Look What The Cat Hacked In - S03E03

Most enjoyable stream that was. I cannot believe these guys are so accessible, kudos to them for that!
I'd say, the hell with all them haters, I'm confident there is love enough for Kunos.

 

Of course not, in real racing you have limited seat time, real budget/sponsor concerns, the point of sim racing is to streamline the parts of real racing which exist for budget reasons, and let you try the parts that are supposed to be fun. That is, the actual racing.

Realistic penalties don't need to cover every edge case because not everyone is automatically in the series in the first place, if a driver damages his car every race hitting curbs too hard, there doesn't need to be a penalty or a ranking system, he just stops being able to afford to race. Without those aspects, you have to use unrealistic penalties that can penalize unrealistic driving.

 

I think teleporting to pit if you jump the start is a nice step, but IMHO might be a step little bit too small. If Kunos could bite the bullet (I doubt if they have time though) and make a really nice and realistic penalty system, all the problems related to the "unrealism" such as pit speed limit, slow down to 21mph, etc will go away all at once.

My fav part of this live stream was when they talk about Mugello Club layout

 

I appreciate that the false start is being looked into, its nice that feedback from the playerbase is actually being considered, so kudos to Stefano for that.

However yep, I have to agree, I think the teleport idea isn't awful, but it depends how its done. I personally think it might be a bit of an immersion-killer, for both the players being teleported and for the rest of the grid too if you suddenly see cars vanishing in front of you as you set off from the grid. I just think "when in doubt, follow the real world", and in this case I think that is what I would (personally) prefer. So a drive through penalty is how I would prefer to handle it. I do think the teleport could be a good solution for wreckers and griefers who might deliberately move their car way before the green lights, however for "honest" jump starts, I think a drive through would be enough.

So maybe;
- if you move your car more than 2 seconds before the green > teleport to pits
- if you move your car less than 1/2 second before green > pit lane penalty

*Something like that* (obviously the timings would be open to debate)

 

Yep but lately it seems that Kunos is listening to players, or have time to react to their wishes and they started to implement additional needed features.. So why not make it better and with options.. Simulation shouldn't stop at physics... Hence the racing part in racing simulation... I would argue that super complex physics model is not even the most impartant part...specially if you are using argument about casual players and public quick races...

Anyway kudos to devs for implementing more and more requested things...

 

The bad player begins to run from the first possible moment, a good driver could only make the mistake in the last red light.
It could automatically go to the pitlane if you run before the last red light, and a real punishment for those who commit an error in the last red light.

Stefano hope you take it from here and obtain sanctions that satisfy most players.

 

No teleporting please. The game allready doesn't shine regarding immersion.

 

After watching the latest 'What the cat hacked in' I now understand Kunos' and Stefano's motivations in closing the mod section. I still regard it as a mistake in the longer term but as a very small dev company time management must be a huge issue
I also admire Stefano much more as a person for his openness and passion

 

No E04 yet, or going bi weekly?
