Volume sliders for tire squeal noise which is WAY TOO LOUD!

Remove all the duplicate cars. (Who cars if the year is different? They look exactly the same!)

Clearer dials for people like me who race with no HUD.

Don't start a new song every time a track, replay or menu loads. (I only hear the first 10 seconds of all my songs. Using BGM)

And like everyone else, better engine noise!

EDIT: Actually tyre squeal noise is only too loud for comfort tyres... which is actually realistic so that can stay the same.

And duplicate cars shouldn't be in this thread... :)

More things to add are... better AI as they are currently robotic and crash into you if you are in the racing line. (FRUSTRATION!!!)

And crash damage as its too easy to cheat by crashing into cars in the apex of a turn or into a barrier on a sharp bend.

A-Spec:
-Practice and qualifying sessions
-Grid starts
-Even fields - chase the rabbit is fine for special events but doesn't belong in proper racing
-Optional full damage that affects you and AI alike

Arcade Mode:
-Rename to something more accurate - single/quick race etc works for me (not a big deal but it bugs me nonetheless ;)) and give it full options:
-Option to set race length by time rather than laps (eg 24 hours)
-Options to set field by class (eg street cars, muscle, sport, exotic, tuner, race, etc)
-Everything mentioned above for A-Spec
 
This sounds stupid, but I'd like an infotainment simulator. Like being able to use the touchscreen in the Corvette or interacting with the dash in an SLS. Kinda stupid, I know, but it would be cool.

It's not stupid, I like this idea.
 
The #1 thing I've always wanted, which was kinda listed already, is AI cars in Split-screen 2-player!

I never play online; I like playing with real friends sitting next to me. I introduced a friend to GT the day before yesterday (like I've done for many friends), and many of them including him get kind of bored if they only have me to compete against.

I bragged to him that the game combines street cars, sports cars, racing cars, NASCAR, rally racing, formula racing, kart racing, etc. and he really wanted to try NASCAR with me. Daytona track with NASCAR without any AI NASCAR cars? It felt kind of lame to him for that only reason.

You could try a closed lobby, just the 2 of you with bots, not sure if this is possible on 6 though, let me know how it goes
 
New engine sounds, standing starts, qualifying, better force feedback (at least on G27) with more options to fine tune... Fix the AI, interiors for ALL cars, some way to know if a car is premium... The more I think about it the less I like this game :(. Oh, and fix the clutch/shifting problem still present from Gt5 when using G27 or other gated shifters.. I can shift my Kia IRL MUCH faster than the cars in this game without causing any transmission damage or missing shifts.
 
I wish that, when you buy a car, there was some indication which paints you already owned! You only find out after buying the car!

Why buy a car in a colour you already owe, you can repaint it in that colour, would be nicer to choose another paint chip you don't own - to help expand the colours you own

and totally rewritten AI of course.

+100
This is the game it should be.
 
I want my frame rate back. Moving shadows, clouds, and stars are pretty in videos, but they make for a crappy game play experience.
 
Being able to set a specific avatar outfit for each vehicle in your garage.

Example of having my driver be automatically changed into a specific outfit that I set for my vehicle.
 
I'm sure I'll be repeating what others have already said, but here goes:

1) AI that will actually make a race of it (or if it can't be changed, give us the level 10 AI from arcade mode in career, at least those guys put up a fight occasionally!)

2) In arcade and/or career mode, let us set up a race using all the options available in online lobbies. Not everyone wants to go and race online, but setting up a 70 lap race of Silverstone, with practice and qualifying, in a one make series against AI racers would be nice!

3) Fanatec wheel support would be nice from a personal standpoint

4) All the features that are missing that were in GT5

Guessing all of these have been suggested already, but maybe it'll help get the message across if PD genuinely read these boards!
 
1) I want to be able to delete individual lap times in free practice mode. Instead it's filled up with multiple runs of a single car.

2) Show us what wheel size we have when changing sizes.

3) Give us more options to turn off individual HUD elements.

4) Give us a A.I. difficulty slider.

5) Give us a brake balance % slider instead of obscure 1-10 numbers.

6) Power limiter doesn't adjust PP in real time, this needs to be fixed

Some of my top requests would be
1: Online Leaderboards for every track with several different ranges for PP and tire compounds
2: Ability to tune a car while in test drive mode. This is one of the features I miss the most from Forza where when in test drive mode you can pause the game, make a tweak to the setup then resume from where you were. This is a great tool and can save many hours in tuning over time.
3: More options for online lobbies. I think as is you can pick a car type or PP but it would be nice to be able to do both and also set both a min PP and a max PP to filter out the cars better.
4: Higher payouts for online races, should be about 10x higher than what I have saw thus far, 4 lap race 2 players on bathhurst paid only 1.7k should be at least 17k since a 4 lap race in GT Mode on that track pays almost 50k. 1.7 k is barely enough to wash the car and change the oil after racing ;)
5: Ability to show/hide a rear view mirror in every view. This is sorely needed in roof cam view and even in cockpit view if in narrow view the mirror is pretty much useless in most cars would be nice to have that same mirror that is in bumper view in the other views as an option that can be toggled on or off view hud settings,

6: Options to tub the wheel wells and put wider tires on production cars along with aero parts that provide more downforce would be nice.
 
^ i think 2. Takes away the aspect of driving sim. You could change the suspension, drivetrain or transmission whilst in the car on track so why in game. Yes it would be conveniant but not GTish. Forza does things the easy way for the casual gamers = sales.

6. I defiantly agreed with though.

Really? I do not think so and of course I think it should only be available to do in test drive mode.
If you think that would ruin the simness what about the features that are already present like being able to pause a race at any point, go to the bathroom, eat dinner spend an hour on the phone or whatever and then resume like you never left? How would it be so much worse to be able to make a minor tuning tweak while paused in test drive mode?

Trust this is a major asset that would be great to have for us tuners and it would not hurt the game in any way.

Ok but having a pee mid race on an endurance race or eating or break is aloud as multiple drivers. Short races makes breaks pointless.
Things like dampers and drive train adjustment came be done in car on the more expensive racers but ride height and gear ratios are more a garage job anyway. Maybe not pause but in pit at least. So do one or two laps then pit to tweak. Would become more a test session then, and after coming back in to pits, ask if the changes has help or to go back to before.

I think you are just trying to be argumentative now, of course these things IRL have to be done in the garage or some could be done in the pits but I was merely pointing out that you can already pause the game and do things that you absolutely can not do IRL anyway.

Sure drivers can swap and take a break in endurance races but they do not do so by pausing the race at 200 mph going down the back stretch then come back 4 hours later to resume like they never left which is what the game does and always had allowed you to do. Also a break in a short race is not pointless there are times when it needs to happen. Example phone rings, someone at the door, and so on. You can pause and return whenever you like.

IRL you can change drivers but you do so in the pits, just like you can tweak some settings on the car in the pits IRL.

So your objection is invalid and needlessly argumentative. I would also assume that you are not a tuner or have never had access to these feature before as you would be all for it if so.

Anyway I really do not care if you agree or disagree. It would be a good feature to have and I as well as many other tuners would surely use it.

I do see what your saying and thats life. Things happen that needs must. But being a testing session, you could get away with a sub menu, with options that could effect it but to really test a car, i find it needs a few laps in it (most really teams put in 15-20 laps on a slightly different set up). Missing shifts or apexs etc will effect testing and to find that sweet spot, maybe 3-4 similar curcuits (with ABC being different track types)
I may not be an ultimate tuner but until engine swappes come in, i shale only go so far.

But im not disagreeing, just trying to put a spin on an idea.
 
This was probably mentioned already...but I'll mention it if it wasnt. Whenever you go online how many drag rooms do you see? Usually a bunch. I don't drag but we could definitely use some drag tracks for those guys!
 
  • Post 2000 cars in the 24min Le Mans
  • Bathurst race in Super events
  • Far stricter allowence for entering cars into races in career mode
  • more detailed restrictions for online mode (multiple single models at one time)
  • Longer licence tests
  • Standing starts in career mode instead of playing chasey all the time
 
I think they have to add car type to each car to make racing closer. Ie only allowing classic, sport, coupe, saloon, super, muscle, off road, rally, sprint....... Ok its fun racing a hatch against an estate but id prefer a full field of one type. Only problem is if you have an nsx, for example, the field would be all the different nsx's.

Yes I agree that it can take several laps when testing once you get close to what you want but there are things you can change in a single lap with ease and in some cases several. One example is gearing. You guess at the gearing before you start then you hit the longest straight and see where you are and at that point you can pause and adjust your final drive ratio to get the top speed that you want. Of course it may take a few tweaks to get it exact but you can do it pretty quick. Another is over/under steer. When I test a car in Forza I hit a corner and the car pushs to much or wags its tail to much I generally pause it and make a minor tweak to help stabilize this then on to the next corner. Other things like car is to stiff when clipping a rumble strip or bottoming out in a dip and such. These things can be adjusted to a value that is pretty close very quickly using the pause/change/resume method then once it gets close you may need to run a few laps after each small tweak to see if the car is actually improving.
 
More Performance parts like:

Stage 4 Turbo
Sports Brake Kit
Hi RPM Supercharger
Flywheels
Sport Suspensions
Racing Catalytic Converter

COME ON PD!!! GIVE ME THESE PARTS IN THE NEXT UPDATE!!!!!!

I see what you mean there but as youve already past that corner....and theres more than one corner on a track (except nascar lol) tweaking due to one bad corner could be down to driving or make the next corner worse. Gearing yes, finding sweet spots (and speeds) for corners ie 60mph 2nd but another at 75mph third with torque etc. I find gearing to be track based rather than tweaking per corner, even sarthe is based on top speed which is the only track i can see use to increase top speed as you go down straight but you wouldnt know acceleration or lap time to the next run round. You may make it faster but slower if you know what i mean.
 
Well I do not want to take the time to explain in detail but suffice to say I have tuned a lot of cars this way and it works very well. I'm not talking about getting in perfect it the first corner but in many cases it is clear that the car needs a tweak when you hit the first corner as it pushes like a sled or spins like a top, both of which are very bad and need to be corrected right away. Much better to be able to pause and tweak rather than having to suffer through 4 laps or exit and restart
 
A feature that automatically kicks everyone driving the wrong way for more than x amount of seconds would be very welcome... Those 'drag racers' going the wrong way and then blocking half the track at the Nordschleife really ruin trackday rooms...
I know some rooms say 'free run' so you technically can do whatever pleases you, but that doesn't mean you should ruin it for everyone else that tries to run the track as it's supposed to..

If you want to drag race, use SSX were no one in their right mind would want to race...
