Gameplay - Race officiating
I wanna see flags, safety cars.
I want a real racing sim instead of real driving sim. The driving part is already great. No need to improve it in my estimation. I would much rather see BLACK FLAG, yellow flag, blue flag, pace car etc.
Perhaps one person in an in an online room could act as race director. Maybe the room mod or a designee of the room mod. That person could observe the race, maybe with a multiple view screen. The computer could replay contact situations or off track excursions to the race director for possible action (BLACK FLAG). The computer could also show lapped traffic situations etc. I'm thinking a few screens for the race director to look around and maybe two more for the computer to show him stuff.
Also, the room mod should be able to select from a set of pre determined rules for the room, like a set of canned driver's meeting rules. You could have full on FIM style rules, and then less professional rules sets all the way down to like a track day with restricted passing etc. I'd like the rules to be clear at the outset. Sometimes it is appropriate to have the FIM fender up means right to the line rules, and sometimes it is more appropriate to have gentlemen's rules where inadvertent contact should not result in a pass, etc.
