    You sure tried ACC.

    So what's your problem, it used to be slow & methodical and now it's moving in leaps and bounds, it just hasn't leapt or bound the way you want it too. Tardiness for the sake of tardiness me thinks! :p

    Okay. I did not know that but it would be fun to have the (general) feature in R3E to allow/deny tire blankets in all races.

    generally what will happen is if a series allows them the tyres will be preheated to x before session, race start , if not then they arent in game

    Not a top priority, but it would be neat* to get NVIDIA Ansel support to take some fancy screenshots beyond what the existing photo mode does. I don't know how much dev effort it takes to provide Ansel support, IMO this would only be worth considering if it was easy to implement.

    Here's a list of supported games: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/games/#ansel

    * admittedly, only for NVIDIA gfx card owners :neutral:

    Another suggestion: colour-code the car dots on the minimap so it's easier to differentiate:
    1) Cars you are racing
    2) Cars you are lapping
    3) Cars lapping you

    The ability to select favourite class\cars in the car selection screen for online mulitclass servers, instead of trawling 2,3 or 4 maybe more pages of class then the same for car why not be able to select your favourite classes to be at the front of the list, same with single class servers, the ability to put your favourite at the front of the list, or maybe make all the lists user configurable.

    Whoa Hoo, something to agree on, this may well be part of the next update, seeing as there is a massive api change coming and a rework of the server side ui/functions has been promised, fingers crossed.

    i think it would be easier to add missing features to replay mode rather than implementing ansel :p anyway, what we miss from ansel right now? i can think of filters and different resolutions right now, but not having ability to manipulate time in ansel is huge downside for me

    *Brake upper deadzone on a per car basis*

    I have a set of loadcell based pedals that allow a very heavy brake pedal, this is perfect for simulating formula type cars but feels to much for other cars especially historical cars. My current solution is to adjust the upper deadzone on the brake to reduce the pressure needed to achieve max braking in game. If this value could be stored on a per car/class basis it would be a set once and forget operation.

    Suggested similar a long time ago but more to with throttle reponse, should or could have a seperate page in the car setup pages along the lines of the steering settings.

    * in game FOV calculator *

    Given there seems to be some confusion about FOV in general and how to calculate it id suggest an FOV calculator as part of the video settings. In the same way that iracing for example has, you put in your various real world measurements (screen size, eye distance etc) and the game sets up the FOV for you.

    One new feature I would love to see is having the Race 2 grid set by Race 1 fastest laps. This is how Blancpain GT World Challenge America does it and it would be really cool!

    If it's easier for the dev team to do it natively in the R3E replay mode then that's also fine with me - including the ability to grab higher resolutions like in Ansel. Filters and colour/contrast tweaks would be nice-to-haves.

    BTW does the free camera mode work OK for others in R3E? Whenever I've tried it it seems to have a mind of its own. I have the camera controls mapped to an xbox controller.

    I mapped the camera move/tilt controls to analogue sticks on the XBOX controller and it is impossible to control - hard to explain but I'll share a video if I can't solve it (will start a new thread). I didn't have time to troubleshoot it last night but I'll try mapping to keys instead to eliminate the controller as a source of trouble. Is it possible to keep the free camera completely static or is it always tracking something?

    I still need to experiment with what all the camera-related control assignments do - it's not the most intuitive system at first glance!

    BTW I really like that video FeltHλt - nice job!
