Only found this talked about briefly in other threads so I thought I would ask in a new one..... If you do roll your car over should your race be over or should we get that FM3 solution? I think that the race should be over at that point, except in rally where the fans roll the car back over and the driver tries to finish the stage if the car can start and is still driveable. So what do you guys, and gals think?
 
What's the FM3 soloution? If it's that highly controversial "reverse feature", then I think that your race should be over.

I though the reverse feature was for understeering or oversteering corners, so you can learn the track.
 
I think the cars should be rolled onto it's wheels to start it & drive away, if it doesn't start then race over.If it's on fire then obviously it's over.
 
race over.

i have never ever seen a marshall roll a car back onto its wheels, and then the car continue to race.
 
I don't know..
I think in reality, in 95% of the cases your car is totally wrecked...
But for the other 5% .. I don't know

I agree, most of the time the car is totaled, but there are some cases where the roll came at the end of the crash and therefor being a gental roll, the car after being uprighted could still continue, surely not as fast but still able to finish the stage.
 
if it's in a rally; i think the car's can continue the race. If it's on a road course or circuit it should count as a dnf. IMO.
 
now to hope that you can actually roll your car in this game.

GT5:P still can't. WTF guys, is it that hard to map the bottom of a car, and include friction on the roof?

It isn't all that important anyway. After 1500 km of Forza 3, I've never even come close to flipping my car. I can see its relevance in rally though.

Have you played Grand Theft Auto? It's kinda like that (no explosion, of course) with better physic, if the car is upside down, you just hit the gas and turn the wheel to flip it back over, really lame in my opinion.
With the new damage and physic, I would expect if a car is rolled over and landed on its roof, race over.
 
I'd say if the car is rolled onto it's roof you should be brought back to the Pits and given the option to forfeit the race or rebuild your car for a time penalty (only on long races of course 25+ laps).

Then you would probably still lose. Flip+Pits+reduced overall prize money=solution otherwise just a quit restart would be the best option
 
There should be 2 things; if the car flips and stays on its roof, your race is over, like in any form of racing. the lack of fluids to vital parts of the car would ruin it. If you flip and it lands back on its tires and its drivable, you can continue...
 
The answer is user selected.

I will use race over.

Maybe it's me, but being spontaneously brought back to the pits is no different than having your car roll itself over.
 
They might aswell leave it, if you land back on your wheels carry on with your damage(depending on your damage setting) or stay on your roof and press the start button and select restart.

Do rally cars have a fuel cut off button or switch ?.I thought they did for emergencies.
 
I noticed that Kaz ONLY ever mentiones rollover when talking about Nascar damage.

I doubt regular cars will roll. I just can't see it being implimented on cars with minor visual damage.

Could you imagine a 200mph roll and only getting a small black scuff on your bonnet?

Yes, they are part of the FIA safety protocol, for the safety of the driver obviously and any marshalls that attend the scene of the accident. The fuel tank also has a trapdoor feature built into it that springs shut and stops the fuel flowing to the pump after a very heavy impact!!
 
Well if rollovers are even implemented into the normal play, obviously it will be optional, just like the rest of the damage.

On low damage i'm assuming because its the most arcade-like, it will just flip you back over to continue.

On high damage i'm assuming it will just total your car. I think they should allow car rebuilts for 24 hour races, but i think there would be little point as you're always going to lose at that point.
 
Depends:
Check all
-Can the car physically still run
-Are the tires still runable
-Is your head still on your neck
When all are checked, your A-OKAY!
 
^^^ To me it is just amazing how much abuse those rally cars can take and still drive away from. That said I do agree that this is the only place driving away after a roll over is even remotely possible. If roll over feature is only in NASCAR then no you should not be able to continue.
 
if you get into the kind of situation where there is even a slight possibility to roll the car it's going to be damaged enough to take you out of the race regardless, so it's really a question of "do you want to restart the race or would you like the game to do it for you"



of course rally stages can be an exception
 
If rolling a car is possible, it will be optional.

I would predict it to be possible with each and every car.

^If it is every car, it should be so sad game over, with damage on full of course. If you've seen the effects a rollover has on a road car in real life, you would understand how much stress a standard roof can put up with. An average 100kmh(60mph) roll would most likely become multiple rolls as the momentum of the vehicle is still present. After an approximate 3 roll crash, an average (80's/90's) car will buckle at the A, B and C pillars causing the roof to collapse. This is even moreso present in a pickup truck/convertible as the support on the roof is much less (though most modern convertibles are constucted to distribute weight evenly in a rollover and an American pickup is so large it can't fall past its doors). Yeah, game over.
