During the beta period I've encountered many things that I would like to see in rF2 at some point. Anyway, here's my wish list
.
- Weather prediction. For example a text based prediction for the weekend. As it's a prediction, it might not be always accurate. Should be optional.
- Changing pre-race time. At the moment (and in rF1) it was fixed to 35 seconds, but with rF2 it should definitely be possible to change it to larger period of time. Also it would be good if the tyre temps, engine temps etc don't change when you have clicked race and the countdown is still going (like it would be on pause).
- Possibility to toggle chat on/off during the race. It should still show race control messages, but hide player chat.
- Delta time. The way iRacing has implemented it is quite good. Would love to see it in rF2.
- Possibility to rejoin the race after connection lost or if you have totaled your car (the latter should be with some time penalty, set in multiplayer settings). Should be optional.
- Car specific wheel, FOV and seat settings.
- Show setups of active mod (not car).
- Possibility to have more than one rFactor 2 installed.
- Different in-game profiles. At the moment it is possible to have only one profile, but it should be possible to have more than one. For example in rF1 I have 2 profiles -> one for driving and one for making screenshots, videos etc. They have different keys, graphic settings etc.
- Possibility to force some GFX settings online. Like HDR, water spray coming from cars and so on.
- Tracks and cars should be in a list, not with tiles. It's good and looks nice with few cars/tracks, but once you have 15+ tracks/cars it will be annoying to flick through them to find the right one. Also it should feature some specs about the car.
- Ping to server in server browser.
- The setup folders needs some work. We only have a hanful of mods, but it already looks too cluttered. Different type of namings, unclear namings of different layouts, somes are written in capital letters and some aren't, etc. It definately needs some rethinking, and ISI should name their mods in a similar manner and put up some guidelines to the community. In that way it would look more organized and makes it easier for everyone. One idea I have is that different layouts should be in the same folder. For example all the layouts of Mills are in a folder named "Mills Metropark"
- Possibility to change autoblip and -lift in-game.
- During driving in practice/qualifying it shows loss to the overall leader, but it should be possible to switch it to loss to the class leader. For example when driving with 370Z it compares your laptime to the best 370Z driver, not the overall best (which in most cases in GT-R, because it's a lot faster). In addition, drivers in same class should be distinctive in standings.
