Patch V2.0 content Suggestions, Requests and such (NOT a Wishlist)

Just experienced a bug:

I was driving in Trophy Mode in Mont Treblant with the F40. I was first from the startup. After approx 7 rounds, i awaited the Final Lap (counter was by Zero)....but it didnt appear. I was driving another 2 Rounds when i saw that on the screen i was 2nd (and for 100% i was first the whole race). After letting the KI pass i was 3rd and 4th and so on. So i retired the Race:


Trophy Mode, F40

Tracks:

Paul Ricard
Virginia Raceway
Mont Treblant

Somewhat strange bug, its the first time i had it.

here is the solution

Can't finish that race too (Trofeo 575M Maranello). Raced 3 times there and on those 3 time that happened.
First time during the start of 2º lap (passing the finish line) of the race.
Second time at the middle of the race.
The last time at the very last lap.

EDIT:
To solve this bug with x car at x track:
After +10 races with this bug I went to the options and set the AI to Expert and it solved this issue.

A bit late perhaps, but "look to apex", simbin style, would be nice...

Oh, and all this talk of steering deadzone is scary , please make sure we can have 0% deadzone.

Sound sound - fix the engine sound please - I can't hear my engine at all and if I put the volume up, the other cars are unbearably loud.

The left paddle on the G25 wheel WILL NOT shift gears most of the time. Please fix this as well. Please

I think thats coming way to late, but:

- save option for replays
- manually to choose camera's for the replays
- sound options for skipping the tracks included in the game
- Fps-Drops in Cockpit view

And i heavily miss Split times, which should be added in v2, if i got it right.

Here are my thoughts on game:

- Split times for sectors (F1 style).
- Pits and ability to set pit strategy.
- More realistic damage.
- Car Setup - much more detail.
- Tyre degradation and fuel consumption (Pits Stops).
- Fuel Race Weekends (Practice Sessions) I do like the advance time button.

Online
- Mute option.
- Password Protected or Private Rooms.
- Host can force Driver Aids (Expert Room = I want expert drivers, not Driving Aids).
- Vote/Kick option for horrible drivers.
- Full online race weekends (Practice Sessions, Qualifying, Race).

EA Sports F1 Challenge did a bang up job. Other than physics weren't what I would have liked, F1 Challenge was in my opinion the best all around F1 SIMULATION. It had complete control over online room. You could choose which sessions you wanted then launch race. My best friend and I would do 2 sixty minute practice sessions, then do a 10% race with at least one pit stop. And setups where incredibly detailed (FC definitely needs to improve on this).

End on a high note - Although the graphics are incredible, they are good. Physics are excellent and track modeling is impressive.

I give this game a 7.5 out of 10. Hoping patch is exceptional. This game could have an incredible shelf life, with DLC (Cars & Tracks). I would buy Nurburgring as well as several others in a minute.

At least this is coming actually in Patch v2.

I think this is because you are trying to change down with the engine revs too high. There's certainly no problem with my G25.

Yes - it's not like in other racing games which always shift flawlessly - in FC:TP you have to go into low revs in order to shift properlly. Just get used to it, it's more challengable this way.
