Improvements you want for the In game Physics Engine and General Driving

[niky]

I don't know much about transmissions or anything but I think the Automatic trans in this game is kind of weird. When I watch the tachometer in a car (Nissan Pathfinder in this case), the tachometer rises to 3,500 or so and then shifts up. In the game, the car shifts just before it reaches the redline. Keep in mind that the redline for the Pathfinder is above 5,000. I've never driven manual before so please forgive my ignorance but I would think that if you place the same cars in a drag race (Auto vs Manual), the car with the manual transmission should win.

Cars like the Dodge Charger and well basically all the old cars should not have all these electronic stability systems. It just doesn't make any sense for them to have it. Not that it really matters anyway since I turn off ASM Oversteer and TCS for all the stock cars I buy.

Actually, if you floor it, most automatics will shift near redline. But they should model the fact that ATs tend to shift early on half-pedal, true.

I agree!!! The only cars that should come with the driving aid dialogue are those that come with them stock, and only set at stock settings unless you buy the Driving Aid box at the tuning shop... could be labelled "Teenage Safety Device".

But seriously, yes. It's a pain to have to manually disable ASM and TCS on all my cars.

The one thing i PRAY they improve is the AI, it is so insanely horrible that i never ever race against the computer anymore in single races. Its bad enough we still arent able to play online against real people, they force us to race against cars that dont respect the line you are taking and bump and smash you from every which angle. That has got to go. Rally, I hate it, nuff said for that. Real driving sims need real physics as well as real crash physics, put it in there PD. And im talking about real crash physics, along the lines of Colin Mcrae rally, which i love for this, car parts flying everywhere, tires ripping off the wheel, you get the point. The car count is great, however i feel alot of the cars in the game no one will ever really give a crap about, just please put Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini in the game, PLEASE. i cant see how the most popular racing sim can't get the licenses for these companies, work on it. Thats it, GT 4 LIFE!

How about the ability to earn points even if you don't come 1st?
