Well since everyone else is posting ideas and thoughts i would also like to add some :)

- Save option during endurance races when you pit.
- Fix shadow and the jagged lines inside a dirt could.
- You got start and exit on each side of the menu when you
wanna start a race. It would be nice to be able to just push
left or right one time and you ended up with the cursor on the other side
of the menu so you dont need to hold left or right down to get to the
other side.
- When you do a race and push start to either select restart or options and
you click the wrong icon it brings you back to the race and not back to
the "start menu". It gets a bit irritating at times since the wheel is fighting
you once again and its not fun hitting that tiny start button when you
are off-road :)
- Good idead with the custom-online-garage-cars, cars selected by
the creater of the server\room.
- Change some of the prize cars you get from some of the hardest races like
FGT champ, endurance races like the 24 hours should have given you a
car gift ticket that you can select any car you'd like. Atleast the last 24
hour race a-spec.
- More credits for completing endurance races. Maybe a fixed amount
of credits for all races later on in the game? you get : 1 million for dream
car champ. and thats ca 45 min without the last Nurburgering race.
So maybe 1 million credits per hour racing.
(Hey im just throwing ideas out there)
- A safe way to trade cars with online friends.
- Pike Peak track so i can use my Escudo where it's meant to be!
- Better and more options with the HUD. Transparent hud? A way i can select
what info i would like on the screen, like just speedometer and rpm?
Or speedometer, rpm and wheel and fuel? More customisable (not correct
spelled i guess) :)
- Fully customizable gearbox would be nice too.
- And more Premium cars but they dont need so much detail as current cars.
- More tracks and A-Spec events :)

Crossing my fingers! ;D
 
They said that the money boosts from races will only last till 31 January. So expect an update for those.

Eh? Do you really think they havr to release an update just to turn the money down again? That would mean all those people who do not care about online or updating in in a hurry will just stay on 1.05 and keep raking in the cash. I dont think it works like this.

I think its very possible the cash increase is based on the internal ps3 clock, so after jan 31st money goes back down again even after pacth. What do you guys think?

What you said makes sense but I'm still anticipating a patch by the end of January. I guess it could go either way.
 
what if nobody wants to race your ****** cars, your a horrible host!


It was an example, could use 6000cc American muscle if that pleases you:dunce:
 
I hope they add a hp filter for when your searching through the online rooms. I spend at least 30mins looking for limited hp rooms most days.
 
I hope they fix how lame birthday gift cars can be. Seriously getting a Lancer EX 1800 GSR IC Turbo yesterday was worse than getting socks off my mum. So dear PD please patch it so that I have the AE86. Ta X
 
I am praying for that little ol' feature we were promised by PD. Oh, what was it again?.... Thats right! ENDURANCE RACE PROGRESS SAVING!!! Seriously, how hard can it be? :-P
 
Of course we will see more patches soon.
There are still plenty of little annoying bugs to be fixed.
 
I'd like to see the McLaren F1 Stealth Edition tach fixed, it doesn't move...
 
pit saving, fast forward option in B-spec and qualify before races...
 
DTS
More rally!

+1 👍

people just don't like to drive same events over and over again, espesialy when its on Gold. Short anyway.
 
i hope they fix the problem when the b-spec driver spins. and sits there til everyone passed.
 
Leaderboards are low on my list too. I do not need to know how much I suck:indiff:.

Add me to that list, I blow bigtime bubblegum behind the wheel.:dopey: Got some good cars though and around 8mil credit.
 
I know a few people have said it already but ill say it again since I refuse to leave my ps3 on for days on end till ive done a 24hour races im sorry but that is not fun not many real life endurance races have teams that use a single driver for that length of time so im sure as dog mess I wont be doing it, Fix this fast PD coz im getting bored of your game now that I can't progress any further thanks to this !!!!!
 
I want to see the Remote B Spec races that they promised.
 
I used to be one of those leaderboard complainers but now... yeesh just forget it if they're going to be implemented like the seasonal event ones. :yuck: The same freaking car with the same impossible time on every board. How boring! I don't even bother checking them. I do have a bit of fun trying to figure out a good car that can come close to the "chosen one" car that every single other person uses on there. But what a let down.

Anyway, I do hope we see another patch soon. Gotta fix a few bugs and the McLaren Stealth bug REALLY gets my goat.. I love driving that car in the cockpit view and seeing the tach not move in there.. I just can't help but notice it every time! Please fix this PD!! :sick:
 
My wishlist for next patch:

(1) Working headlights and taillights. Even my old man noticed the damn tail lights didn't work on the car in front. And he only played the game for 3 minutes.
(2) Take the track developers out for a drive at night, and hit them over the head each time the car goes past a post reflector (ie 150m on a dead straight road). Demonstrate the reflective paint they use on roads. Demonstrate that concrete pillars have reflective signs on them.
(3) Save at pit stops.
(4) Usable in car view. (ie drove 500km yesterday, didn't see my hands once, or the roof, or the pillions, or the tacho for that matter, and the speedometer was ill-relevant 90% of the time on cruise).
(5) Where are the alleged 70 tracks ?
(6) More setup options for rooms (ie fixed car setup). (Lupo Cup Room FTW).
 
More RM cars but don't tell us which ones just say how many new ones hehe.
More rally events.
Ooh and B spec co-driver for A spec endurance races please.

We also need fully functional fuel gauge and others needles.

For those who play without information would be very useful in endurance races.

A few things that imo are needed.

Ability to save tunes for our cars should be top priority at this point.

A quick oil change option on the triangle menu from any tuning page including online. Or better still and option to change the oil in all your cars that are in favorites or both of these. After driving for a few hours online last night I ended up with 6 cars that needed an oil change and it is a real hassle to have to get in each one then go to GT Auto wait for the screen to load then change the oil and repeat several times.

The fully adjustable trans needs to be fully adjustable. Also would be nice to be able to set the top speed on the close ratio trans as those do not whine like the fully adjustable one.

More options for restricting online races, such as region, car type, drive type, year range and so on.

Leaderboards for tuned cars.

Tire wear need patched. There should be a good bit of difference in the life of the Race soft vs other harder tires. As is they all seem about the same and takes away tire strategy in longer races.

Option to turn cars which park in the track or drive the wrong way into ghosts so they can not ruin a good race.

Online dealership needs to update more often.

These are just a few of the things that I feel are most needed at this point in the game.

Most of these should be pretty simple from a programming perspective and would make the game more enjoyable for many of us.

The other things people are always asking for Standards to Premium, More tracks, Graphics updates are much more involved to do and would take a great deal of time.

I say this as a professional developer myself. Please do the little things first as they will be quick and easy and have a bigger impact on the game.

I could not agree more. Do the simple things first!

The headlights and taillights do work. I don't know what you have saw but I have driven night races with my friends and the only issue I see is that when a car is behind you thier headlights do not show in the rear view mirror if they are very far behind. The headlights seem spot on otherwise and I can see the tail lights of a car all the way at the other end of the long straight on Nurburgring. I have even noticed them reflecting off the gaurd rails in my rear view mirror at times.

(2) Take the track developers out for a drive at night, and hit them over the head each time the car goes past a post reflector (ie 150m on a dead straight road). Demonstrate the reflective paint they use on roads. Demonstrate that concrete pillars have reflective signs on them.
We are not driving on roads we are on race tracks. There is a difference. I however have not driven on a real track at night so I do not know if they use reflective paint or not but if they do and it is not in the game I would think it is due to the amount of graphics already being rendered.

(3) Save at pit stops.
While it would be nice to do this it should only be included in the endurance races.

(4) Usable in car view. (ie drove 500km yesterday, didn't see my hands once, or the roof, or the pillions, or the tacho for that matter, and the speedometer was ill-relevant 90% of the time on cruise).
In car view is adjustable. perhaps you have yours slid all the way forward?

(5) Where are the alleged 70 tracks ?
Look at the track list they are there.

(6) More setup options for rooms (ie fixed car setup). (Lupo Cup Room FTW).
Definitely need more options for room setups.

But that's not what he was referring to. Head lights DO NOT illuminate the cars in front of you. They light up everything. But not the cars.

Tiny tail lights on race cars makes it almost impossible to notice them at pitch black until it's too late.

Considering the ambient light works perfectly even in the cockpit, I cannot understand why the disabled this feature. Perhaps because of frame rate hit. Just like how they sacrificed smooth shadows and dust in the mirrors.
 
6th January is my bet.... That's when the 1st round of seasonal events expire, and the timing feels right. FYI the online collector dealership has only changed once & that was when round 2 seasonal events were added... I want more GTTV channels & programs along with all the stuff every1 else mentionEd... BTW I was proud to be the 36th quickes in a mini Cooper around lemans in gt5p

YOU were the 36th quickest in a Mini Cooper AT LE MANS in GT5P?! Care to develop?
 
Slow-mo, rewind, fast forward in replays PLEASE ????
