Ok, so I've tried to resist, but I need to add my two cents.
First, I will say that I got into a discussion about the smoke density/opacity a little while ago, and it basically went no where (sort of like this).
I am one of the few around here that thinks a smoke slider might be an ok idea...and here's why. I think the smoke model in gt5 is pretty awful. IMO, the ideal solution is a new model, one in which the smoke is proportionate to the wheelspin, and one where the smoke dissipates more realistically. However, since that won't happen until at least GT6, I think a slider could help satisfy a larger majority of the GT5 community.
I don't really have any problems drifting through the smoke righ now, bu I can't count the number of photo ops that have been utterly ruined by the pixilation of the smoke. I would like to be able to turn down the smoke, just for photo shoots. Perhaps be able to turn it down in replays only?
All that said, I'm quite sure a smoke slider will never happen, and there are dozens of things that I would rather see added to GT5 before a smoke slider.
Now, in regards to Doknyce...you have conducted yourself like a complete and utter child. The constant name calling is not needed, and as others have said, is against the AUP. It doesn't matter who started it...the whole "who started it" game is so grade 3 dude, grow up.
Your whole position of thinking you are more mature than Mav and Nismo because you are older is one of the most arrogant and ignorant things I have ever seen. You think just because you are older that you know more, or that you can't learn anything from those that are younger than you?? Please, for the sake of humanity, don't become a father.
I know some 10 year olds who could teach you a thing or two about grammar, sentence structure, and forum etiquette. Your elementary school failed you terribly.
You remind me of "that old guy at the party"...you know, the one who thinks he's cool, just cause he's older than everyone else. Behavior and conduct are what command respect from people, not how many times you've been around the sun.
As far as you being as good a drifter as you claim, and being better than most people on the forum, I highly, HIGHLY, doubt that. You do realize that one of the people you challenged just won round 2 of VDCS3...a drifting comp attended by some of the best virtual drifters in the world....you need to slow your roll, "son".
but really I only see adding a smoke adjuster going in the opposite direction of where gt5 is trying to head,
