I wold like to have individual penalties for certain tuning parts, similar to FM3:
Change the stock exhaust to a titanium racing pipe -> loose some weight on the rear end, having a different balance.
Change the front hood to a CF hood -> change of balance.
Loose weight by retiring spare wheel, rear seats, etc -> change of balance.
Add big turbos + intercoler -> weight change - change of balance
Add structural reinforcements -> higher total weight
I haven't really thought about the balance, although it does make sense. But I definitely agree that one of the things that i thought was a glaring omission was that none of the modifications (other that Chassis mods) made any changes to the weight. Certain things like titanium exhaust, lighter flywheel, performance aftermarket wheels should result in REDUCED weight while addons like turbo/superchargers should ADD weight.
I also don't like how you have to click on each individual mod to see what effect it has on the vehicle in terms of weight loss or power gain. These change indicators should appear on the screen as soon as you hover the pointer over it.
The game should give the option to have different size and width wheels. And motor swaps and drivetrain conversions would be cool as well, but not a must.
I also agree with the original topic poster about the rewind/fastforward ability for replays. I also think there should be fastforward ability for B-spec races as well.
And if im not mistakened, the "hood view" on these cars are too high up. It seems like the camera is mounted on the roof rather than on the hood. Would like to see a true hood view, which would be the next best thing to a cockpit view when playing with Standard cars.
Also, a couple more issues with the camera (correct me if im wrong)
- The game lets you look left/right in cockpit view, but doesn't let you tilt up or down to see more of the cockpit. The head tracking feature lets the camera pan up/down a little bit, but not tilt the camera up/down.
- In third person view, the game lets you look backwards with a good view of the front of your car, but not left/right. Like most driving games nowadays, you should be able to use your analog stick to rotate the camera a full 360 degrees around your car.
And finally, i think all the cars in your garage should be available for play in split screen multiplayer (and for any other play modes where you can't pick from your garage). You shouldn't have to Favorite all your cars in order to accomplish this.
