It’s being investigated. F1 has it but that’s a different game engine.Is Truforce coming to XBOX?

Yeah I must say I also noticed more prominent crowd noise, particularly as I use chase came, seems more noticeable.Really enjoying this, all the 'new' cars are great and the sounds on the Rally1 cars (even though I thought they were pretty good before!) are now mega. The off throttle sounds in particular seem authentic across all three, and align with what I've experienced in real life.
Latvia & Poland are both good new additions, I think I prefer the feel of Latvia more so far but have barely scratched the surface of either rally at this point.
Couple of other things I've noticed, mostly good;
Looking forward to diving into this more, and getting stuck into the clubs again. It's been awhile ha!
- Crowd noise - I feel like, contrary to what someone else said, this actually seems more prominent now, especially in replays. I was doing Sweden this morning and can't remember the air horns / cheering / general ambiance being so loud in the mix. I like this though, makes it feel more authentic.
- WRC points system - just like real life this system is complicated. Nice to see it replicated in the game, but I think if anything it highlights how it really doesn't make sense. Think I'll shift to playing career mode WRC rounds on full length as the primary leg / final leg isn't really that engaging otherwise (on a medium event the first 2 stages are the primary / second 2 are final / final stage is power stage).
- Monte - I can't figure out if it's meant to be like this or not, but as the first round of the Career mode I've had this event appear in Spring conditions rather than the typical Winter ones. Perhaps more reflective of the real-event these days? Or part of the weather randomisation...that said this is a season change?
- Events - it definitely feels like there's new events scattered through career mode now. Not sure if this is all a bit of a placebo effect though Intrigued to see if the now redundant Mexico & Estonia rallies get used elsewhere across the season...and if Estonia will still appear as part of the Asphalt Championship.
Perhaps it's a PS5 vs Xbox thing? I'm using bonnet view btw.Yeah I must say I also noticed more prominent crowd noise, particularly as I use chase came, seems more noticeable.
Well, not today, because both Twitch editing and Youtube rendering are not functioning well both last night and today Hoping for tomorrowExpect one of my Showcase videos soon

Intentional.
Monte barely had any snow/ice this year.

Weather was the first step, maybe Seasons in the future, though with Career having a calendar year it would be weird to have a Summer Monte in January.Nice. Perhaps wishful thinking, but it'd be great if it could switch year after year to add some variety to career mode, but I suspect that's more complicated than it sounds.
Yeah, just switching between Spring and Winter would work for Monte. Maybe on a season by season basis. Granted, that's quite a specific to a singular event...unless we start having no-snow versions of Sweden from time to timeWeather was the first step, maybe Seasons in the future, though with Career having a calendar year it would be weird to have a Summer Monte in January.
It'd be pretty amazing to be able to run gravel versions of the two winter rallies and full snow versions of the gravel events 😍 We can dream.Yeah, just switching between Spring and Winter would work for Monte.

You laugh but that's one of the reasons why they moved it to Umea from Varmland, lack of snow.Yeah, just switching between Spring and Winter would work for Monte. Maybe on a season by season basis.

That would be amazing, perhaps the next evolution of the seasons concept will push it a bit further like this. Might not be terribly high on the features priority though.It'd be pretty amazing to be able to run gravel versions of the two winter rallies and full snow versions of the gravel events 😍 We can dream.
Loving the update/DLC so far, exciting times with more to come!
I’ve thought about this before - I’d LOVE to be able to play Scandia in the summer months.It'd be pretty amazing to be able to run gravel versions of the two winter rallies and full snow versions of the gravel events 😍 We can dream.

That's why I mentioned it When I went a few years ago it was basically a gravel rally...with studs.You laugh but that's one of the reasons why they moved it to Umea from Varmland, lack of snow.
And an icy Croatia might make it a bit more interesting, and Japan for that matter would be pretty insane with ice and snow.I’ve thought about this before - I’d LOVE to be able to play Scandia in the summer months.

Adrien agrees.- I’ve definitely done it in Chile because that’s the closest we have to Wales!
Visually you can yes, it just doesn't seem to affect much, if anything, physically beyond it being a wet rally. I know it would take a lot of effort and work but having the tarmac stages behave more like Monte Carlo in winter and proper snow cover on winter events on typically gravel rallies. Not sure it would be realistic to do all that work in the midst of building the new rallies and what not but we can dream.You can do snow/ice on several non-winter events can’t you - I’ve definitely done it in Chile because that’s the closest we have to Wales! I haven’t checked to see if it can be done on all of them - but I suppose it’d be far harder to program doing it the other way round, ie taking the snow and ice away from Sweden or Scandia and leaving you with a gravel rally through the forests.
Would be awesome to see ERC content in the game in the future. We have some Varmland stages in game already, plus Estonia, Latvia, Poland, we have a stage from the Zlin region for the Czech Barum rally, Rally Serras de Fafe uses some of the Portugal WRC stages, Islas Canarias will be developed for the 2025 game/expansion release. Almost all the cars have been modelled, would be a great excuse to add the Clio Rally3 and Corsa Rally4, plus Rali Ceredignon, Rally Rome and Rally Hungary.Varmland is now a Summer rally in ERC
Defo not in any way easy, but doing this kind of thing would massively boost the amount of variety in the game without having to create new stages from scratch.Visually you can yes, it just doesn't seem to affect much, if anything, physically beyond it being a wet rally.

I’d love to have an ERC livery pack, even if it’s only so I can drive Jon’s car.Would be awesome to see ERC content in the game in the future.

Easy, right? 😅
Admittedly not a dev or someone who's dabbled in UE directly, but on paper it does seem a fair bit easier to implement icy surfaces this time around. I know there's a couple of variations for the Saint-Léger stage (I can't remember if it was a weather/time factor or the short/full version) as the ice on that road can start and end a couple hundred yards further down or up depending on what you run... it's definitely caught me out before!Visually you can yes, it just doesn't seem to affect much, if anything, physically beyond it being a wet rally.

Actual ice on Corsica makes me feel queasy at the mere thought of it...
