There is one thing that ***MAY*** make it better. Are you gonna have each class run a separate model (I.E. Dodge=Rookie; Pontiac=Pro; etc.)?Sorry, this is pretty much what my series has been leading up to in terms of ideas, I've just been slowly implementing them between the different iterations of B-Spec series I've been running
I think for that system it would be the easiest way to tell them apart.I hadn't thought of that, that's a great idea though. If you're fine with me using that then I'd really like to. However it might look weird with open manufacturers if there's Chevy Monte Carlo's on a Ford body
That's fine, I just don't want you or anyone else to do anything for this yet as we still have a second season to focus on. What I've posted is all the planning that has gone into Season 3. Speaking of this season, tomorrow will be 1/3rd of the time available for those to make and submit custom paint schemes, I will tag those that haven't submitted one to let them know they have 4 weeks left.
We have six weeks to get 7 races out, at this point it's week 3 and we're 2 races inMan, feels like yesterday the first race was up...
"Oy, Slate-Blue-ish... ...Pontiac? i know that there was a crash next to us and all, but no need to ram even a little! ...Oh, and R.I.P. those others."
"Where'd the leading cars drive off to? Seriously feels like there are three small races going on at once, instead of just one big one..."
"Oh my... ...Good thing i wasn't one or two places behind."
"Hey, two pink cars behind me in the pit, can't you tell apart your color from the other's color? ...That's okay, i occasionally have the same problem with Dan."
"Huh, my place appears to have been divided by a half compared to the last race, i could possibly settle for this and consider that a success"
Also, at this point, i doubt that even a crash would stop that ferocious #179 Ford, and if it attempted to, chances are, a nuclear crash would happen near the end of a race and thus make the Ford win anyway.
And FYI, i do watch the entire race... ...But at 2x speed.
, it'll slow down soon though
), I will say this; I like this new "highlight replay" system. Other than the Windows Movie Maker-tastic transitions (I know, and yes, I can't do better myself, but I just had to point that out), it's a nice way to see the crashes that happened off-camera without having to see the whole "go back in time in replay mode" process unfold as your recording goes along.
Unfortunately, I can't really edit the cars without grinding the series to a standstill againWell, as I continue my viewing of them Texas racin' (started viewing the race during the last class at University, but I had to stop as the class ended, because obviously
Also, this may be just my OCD and somewhat poor eyesight speaking, but I still think that cars could benefit from having side numbers as well as roof ones. It can be a pain sometimes trying to ID these cars when the camera, the video resolution and track lighting all try their dammnest to blur the names out...
, @tbwhhs maybe having open the menu that shows the name and number of the driver as well as the pause and play buttons all the time could work to make it so people could tell which car is on screen

Having the replay's "video button" tabs would work, but then you'd be covering the standings one up so that's no good either.
Standings actually get moved down by the bars, so that wouldn't be an issue.Yes, that's too much hassle for something that very few have probably given thoughts about.
As for the race, having seen it all, I can say this without spoiling too much; the 4-way battle for the lead was a good one to watch. 👍
I'm not sure if @tbwhhs and his magical transitions showed it or not, but I know in game for me at least that's what happens
Texas itself is a higher speed race than Texas World, they are more aggressive than this race but still manageably racey
