Interface suggestions thread

[R9NALD9]

So although the interface improved dramatically for the most part, in some instances it took a small step back. What would you like to see from an interface standpoint implemented in a patch?

My suggestions would be:

1. Add a slider for each individual gear as reference on how your gear ratios look compared to one another. Having visual feedback on our gear ratios makes it much easier setting up the correct ratios for a particular track.
2. On the screen where you can make last minute changes before a race...in other words the screen between Qualifying and the actual race please indicate the amount of laps the race will be. It is a minor detail but when I join a online lobby in a hurry I've found that I can't see the race length after leaving the lobby screen. I've had two races where I just had to guess the length and add the correct amount of petrol...I ran out on both occasions
3. Bring back the indicator showing more or less how many laps your fuel load will last as it was in Pcars1

Sliders FTW! would love to see some return, but I doubt it'll happen as they won't fit in aesthetically with the rest of the tuning interface. Need sliders for gear ratios and even roll bars would be nice.

Also I dislike how the lap number select method works. Might be ok for mouse use, but it takes way too many presses of the d-pad to select and scroll across to increase the lap number for my liking.

Multiplayer Main Lobby Menu

• sort by number of players, and by ping/connection.

• search by session (I'm tired of the lobby showing 15/20 sessions that are racing)

• search for more than one class at once, eg, "all Vintage GT", instead of having to search through 5 categories individually.

• ability to block certain classes while searching, eg, "find me anything but GT3"

• an indication whether or not a lobby is set on "1 make" or not.

•.some sort, anything sort, of organization in the menu for searching by car class. It currently goes: Any, Current, Multi-class, Road C, GT3, Vintage Indycar, Road D, Vintage Touring C, GT4, GTE, Track Day A, GTO, Road F, LMP1, LMP900, Group A, Road B....it could not get more random. Any kind of logic applied here would be appreciated.

• +1 on the estimated laps for your fuel load 👍
• Please reinstate the time acceleration function in the pit garage menu; it bypasses the skip-qualifying issue (which seems like it would be difficult to squash entirely) and is useful for strategizing your qualification run with the weather.
• Would it be possibe to filter out specific cars from a class? Players could exclude a dominant or unwanted car, or arrange a head to head race between two manufacturers or models.

• Multiplayer - Once inside the lobby, at the track, let us see the room settings (number of laps, damage settings, fuel tire setting, etc)
• When spectating, show lap numbers (raced/total)

All of these. Searching for useful lobbies right now is very time consuming. I really don´t think that sorting by lobby name helps anything, however sorting by qualy, race and practice is extremely helpful.

Also, sorting by number of players needs to be fixed. Right now lobbies with 13-14, and so on show up with the 1 person lobbies, the selection only reads the first number. I would like to see the most populated lobbies, like, the one with 22 cars should appear in front of the 9 car lobby.
