Will there be any form for a car radar?

My experience in the game so far is great.
But there are some things I wish was there and yes, I know the game released today so this is just a question
if it's been even thought about.

Will, there be any form for a spotter or a car radar to tell me when there is an opponent on my side?
Which will help out a lot for me as a one monitor driver and also make it more easy to predict my lines instead of just guessing if its clear on my sides or not.

 

I must admit that i have some issues, now that there isn't a "look back" anymore... i mean, it's more realistic this way, but, as a single monitor driver, i lack some overview of what's going on side/behind me. I guess i get used to it, but, got taken out by the AI 2 times now...

 

WTF is "Car Radar"? I have been racing Honda's since I was 14-15 years old and never heard of any of our race cars having a "Radar" system... LOL

 

Yes, you are probably a great driver or what not but to make sure it won't be any stupid accident by us who Is not as magnificent driver as yourself this is a great tool to get a good look of what's around you.

 

Sorry friend, you misunderstand me

Seriously asking, what is a "Car Radar" ?

[EDIT: PS, for the record I am one of the "worst" drivers (I DNF a lot in real life, and have very little training, driver instruction), of my group, IRL, FWIW.

 

It's more like an addon on the hud. kind of the same as a little minimap on the screen.
I do understand that this is supposed to be a realistic racing sim and these gadgets don't belong there might be since it's not realistic,
but it will make the race easier for people with one monitor to keep track on the side of the vehicle so we don't cut in front of people since we can't see in the side mirrors.

and since the game already has a third person view which is not realistic, I think this could be an idea too.





as shown in these pictures you can see there is just an addon kind of that helps you get an overlook of your surrounding
which gives you the possibility to see where to place your car so you don't accidentally cut someone off in a corner or in a straight line.

or we could just get a spotter who tells you that you got a car on the left or right or when its clear,
either way, it would be great if we could get something.

 

Okay that is what I thought I do not use such things, however I see no reason for them not to be allowed on single player! Also, I hope to god modding will be as much or more of "a thing" than in AC. I am sure there will be issues that we have to get over and through but I am confident that KS understands just how freaking vital modding is to a racing sim. The unreal engine is purpose built for modding and I can only hope to help build awesome, free assets for the community, like this. Sorry for getting off topic lol. Can you tell that I am passionate AF?

 

Some real race cars have radar systems.

 

It's found in GT Sport

 

Damn, those are SICK! Now I want a system, like a 9 zone, triple or quad range one!

Man, those are some REAL race cars.

Here are some of ours, NOTHING like those real ones:

 

The little arrows just don't cut it. We need something like Heli Corsa asap.

 

I don't personally need or want the red arrow LOL. I am trying to figure out how to disable it. It is very distracting. I know where the car is next to me because I have at LEAST 7.2 Surround Sound on every Battlestation here. And we will have VR ASAP so again, won't be needed then either. Also, you should always just know where the car is, though the red arrow can help amateurs and noobs, I understand, and I think it should be in there, just needs to be on a toggle. However, I have know been drinking for hours and hours and hours and probably nothing I say should be given much merit at this time

 

Try setting:
"radarVisible": 0,
in your hud.json.

 

Haha one step ahead of ya, found it in the josn, except got fatty drunk fingers and did it wrong so no joy. Will try again soon after these laps Also, having a helluva time getting controllers set-up and such as no one is helping me and I am sorta seein double right now...

On a side note, gj on the 7.2 system. Ever since I got a nice pair or stereo tower speakers for the living room, I was in awe of how much of a difference the stereo bass makes. On my 5.1 system on the PC, anything around 100hz and bellow just comes from one place and you can easilly tell the position it's coming from unless it's really deep in the sub range. That made me think about a 5.2/7.2 upgrade in the future.

 

Off topic but... some older pics vids:


And..



It sure is amazing how much a good sound setup will improve everything about your sim experience.

 

This radar is essential also in multiplayer, not everyone is able to use tripple screens, vr and big sorround sound system. I have vr but now when VR is not supported and the best camera for my small 24" monitor is the one where you dont see the wheel but you see the deck and display, you cannot look to the sides to check mirrors in this camera mode and the red arrow just doesnt cut it.
Radar like helicorsa in original AC would be a great addition for ppl in similiar situation like me.

 

No, for sure, the option to have it, or mod is a legit great thing, IMO, I personally, just will never use it. And hopefully, in a few mins I can get the json thing working so it's deleted LOL.

 

Thanks for

Thanks for seeing it from an perspective where we dont have all the money in the world.

 

Why do you comment on something that you have absolutely no clue of in the first place, not to mention that the question wasn't meant for other users but to Kunos directly.... *sigh*
