What Features would you like added most?

[Ross Balfour]

So after this purchasing this game, expecting it to act and perform like a beta.. and wow I was so surprised at how polished it is for just a 0.7 version. The game is at the stage now where we can start to really get a grip of what the game can be like at its best, and gives us a chance to see what else we would like to add.

There was a similar thread about cars to this one, but if this could be kept solely about the features of the game, rather than cars and tracks.

Some of my suggestions:

• Night Racing: Obviously with the time setting system already in place here, I can see this being implemented rather easily, and it's really a must feature if the game focuses on GT racing.
• Pitstops: I'd like to think this is a no brainer too, modern racing is so pit-stop reliant it would be a travesty if this didn't feature.. but I am extremely confident it will be!
  
• Custom Race Options: It would be truly magnificent if we could see more customizable race settings for both on and offline racing. 3 Races, each with different point systems (which can be created by the user), one shorter race, followed by a longer race, reversed grid for race two etcetc.
• Choosing Cars by driver, rather than just by model: This is only a small thing, but would be nice to be able to add cars to an offline race by driver name and skin, rather than just by model. Although I do like the way in which we can choose how many of each car we want in each race!
• Fully Functional Safety Car: If this could be implemented for both off and online racing, it would be pretty sweet.
• Dynamic Weather: Truly changeable weather, such as it starting to rain and it be wet on some parts of the track, and dry on others.
• Save Server as Favourite: Meaning it's far easier to find than having to search through a list (Then again I have no idea what the online interface will look like yet)

Again I don't expect all of these to feature, but I was just getting the creative cogs turning. What about you all?

Thank goodness - it will make a huge difference in the immersive experience that a state-of-the-art sim delivers.

Here is a video from release week i did, the sound is so so much better in this video.

 

[Joseph Maxx]

Wow, that is incredible! Though it's still lacking environmental interaction. Have a listen here,

You can hear how the sound interacts with the walls and other features that surround the track.

To get this quality of sound would be a dream come true for me

If I were Kunos I'd immediately add this guy to the team http://www.racedepartment.com/omg-epic-rally-sounds-can-man/

 

[Joseph Maxx]

If he can do that with a single can just imagine what he can do with a full case .

 

[RaceNut]

Yeah, that's great - who needs all the expensive equipment, access to cars, etc., just hire one of these guys for a case of beer and let 'em go nuts! Better yet, teach more people to do it and have a full grid worth of guys making the sounds around your race rig!

Helmet view option would be nice. Loved it in Race 07.

 

[Rick Crawford]

*Spotter packs and the ability to talk to crew and tell what changes to make when pitting. Ask and tell car ahead or behind and such.

 

[Leemstradamus]

Couldn't you prism dime third

Couldn't this be done with third party vice recognition software?

More tracks, LOD slider in the graphics menu for replays, multiplayer.

I also want the Ferrari F50 at some point as well. It has one of the best sounding engines ever produced in a street car. Its not as loved as the F40 but I still have a special place in my heart for the F50 too.

 

[Leonardo Chaves]

I want advanced telemetry, suspension travel, dynamic ride height, individual wheel speeds...

Right now it feels like i'm setting up the car blindfolded.

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

All of that info is recorded; you just have to export it to MOTEC(?) I believe...

 

[Paul Lock]

I want guns.


Lots of guns.

Really? While I'm sure its more realistic, I sure hate that option in Race07, wish there was a way to remove it. But if its just a graphics option to enable or disable it, that would be fine.

It would be hard without a canned effect, to calculate reverb precisely would require a lot of computation power which would mean more CPU overhead. A canned effect can do it, but it won't be as accurate since it would just be the same effect in that scenario no matter what variables change. I honestly think AC and Forza 5 are outstanding as far as sound quality goes in a racing game.

I think somebody already has a mod similar to this...if it isn't in here it is at the official forums.

There is a way to remove it, try searching in the race07 forums.

Roger that.

What do I want? Multiplayer and modding menu. That's enough to complete the game as we can add whatever we want

What are the chances of getting something like this in the sim. Supposed to be very fast and incredibly stable in corners. Love to drive it at Imola.
