The most of us are experienced RACE drivers who played the current RACE game for some months now. What would you like to be changed in RACE 07. Please put down useable suggestions. We make a small summary here in the toppost and send them to SIMBIN

Game suggestions:
- Friendlist to see who is online and in what server
- Rolling starts
- Shared setups online (but not as messy as in GTR2 please)
- Driver names displayed on the car
- Penaltyweight in online races
- To see fuel level on the HUD
- Brighter colours in cockpit view (too dark now)
- Re-enter the pit after being on the startgrid
- Slomotion and Superslomotion option in replays
- Real headlights (real lighting and illumination of the track).
- Fully functioning and selectable pit-stop features. (for endurance)
- Day and night change.
- Smoother animation of head movement and physics for inside view.
- Better Dynamic weather and lighting system.
- Feature to change players car inside server, instead of having to exit and return to pick a new car.
- More realistic offline championships for all cars
- Qualification: possibility to complete the lap which started before the clock reached 0 sec remaining
- Mandatory pitstops: possible to set the server that all drivers need to make a mandatory pit for longer races then only sprint
- G-Racer compatibility with G-15 keyboard
- Two-wheels-on-track rule
- Race school: learn to drive offline like in GTR2
- Registered user names. You have to register your playername with emailadres or ip (see server kick and ban options)
- Possibility to host bigger rooms (more then 25 players: Lets say up to 35-40 players)
- built in hotlap competition, linked to RPM site (or ghost car you can switch off, but that is option no.2 only... lol)

Server suggestions:
- Server admin in game (more admins can kick/ban from in the game)
- ip or, steam id ban, to keep rammers out
- add tracks to roomlist without restarting server
- racing minutes instead of racing laps
- fixed setups

Bugs to fix:
- Stop and Go bug
- Cutting possibilities on some tracks like Monza, Magny Cours, pitstreet of Valencia, Curitiba 1st corner, Oschersleben chicane, Istanbul last triple, Curitiba all corners etc etc etc....
General 2 wheels on the track rule please (2 wheels inside or max on the curbs)
- Replays not saved bug

And heare comes more

- Soft tyre barriers

If Simbin is planning to use the official WTCC music leader as in game music, my advise is: DON'T

After four rounds of the FIA WTCC that song starts irritating already!

fully agree, worst song ever,

Wet to dry track

What I loved about GP3, was the track when it when from wet to dry. That was really great. There was a dry line, so overtaking was hard because you had to overtake on a not dry track.

Hello...!

I would like to have a better and more real sunlight, because some of the races I find them too much dark.

I mean...did you see the PAU real life race? Did you see the colours, the light, same to Valencia...!

Cheers,
BR

Film Director for Replay Movies

What I really really would like to see is a Film Director.

What is a Film Director? Did you play Driver 2 on the Playstation? Well, let me take you back.

Film Director in Driver 2 was a movie editing feature after you did some racing. You could set a keyframe in the replay, in that window between two keyframes, you could set camera position.

So this means, you could make your own movie with several camera positions in your replay.

If Simbin puts this in Race 07, we could make a great replay movie of our races and put them on YouTube. I couldn't think off a beter way off marketing your game than too put great ingame movies on YouTube...

if al these things were put in the game the gamy would be about 6 GB

 

[Ramon van Rijn]

I saw an option about slowmo and superslowmo in the replays. These options are already in the current version. Press Ins (numpad) for slowmo and Del (numpad) for superslowmo.

My wishes:
- Extra option in dedicated server to have real world race lengths (They differ from track to track)
- Option to not only ban wreckers/cheaters, but also to mark them. Just as a warning for other servers/communities.
- On the fly option to change server settings like rFactor
- Better damage control. Sometimes you can just continue after a heavy crash

No, if you programm the code well you don't have to. Some of these features already exist in other games. Like the Film Direktor in Driver 2.

Usally games need more data on a disk depending on the polygonen the objects are build, and the movies it holds. Correct me if I'm wrong.

But this is a simple racing game that only contains cars and circuits. It's like like a Tombraider game were the game contains, maps etc.

Slowmo replay - PunkBuster

I saw an option about slowmo and superslowmo in the replays. These options are already in the current version. Press Ins (numpad) for slowmo and Del (numpad) for superslowmo.

Thanks for the tip, wil look at the slowmo option tonight.

I play battlefield and they use PunkBuster, something you suggest I think.

A great thing with battlefield is you have great stats:

punkbuster is also featured in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory......did a great job there to keep cheaters out (to a minimun)

It's only a little thing, but I would like to see options for themed menu screens, bit like F1 challenge game:

 

[Mike McMullan]

The addition of a "two wheels on track" rule is much too strict - yes, when you're driving flawlessly this is a good rule but we all make mistakes every now and then and brake too late or lightly for a corner and more than 2 wheels go offtrack. Should we get SnG's for this too?!
...we all know how inflexible the current rules are, in the sense of; if someone rams you from behind and your car cuts a corner as a result, YOU get the warning/SnG even though it was entirely the rammer's fault.

I would suggest having an option put in to the game for use in online tournament play where yes, you'll get SnG's for speeding in pitlane, driving wrong way around track etc. but that penalties for cutting corners aren't given to the racer while he races, but that a notification will be saved on the server that will warn Stig for example that hetfield2k cut corner 4 at MagnyCours, he could then check the replay to see if it was a genuine mistake/rammed from behind and take action as he sees fit.

I'm just spitballing here but this is the best way I feel to fix this problem, can you guys think of other ways to do it, or ways to improve my suggestion? Cheers

I would like to have ability to shiwtch off the ghost car in Time Attack mode. This is just to be able to make a decent hotlap competition with replay files to prove the time.

Or any other way for hotlap competition, which is even more comfortable, like online built in recording, linked and viewable at the RPM site...?

You will have it in 11 days!

 

[Attila Domján]

Great news, thanks!

And this will be in 12 days?
