Is it possible to have less cheaty, more configurable AI?: 1. Press 'I', observe, so, those sudden steering wheel changes, AT least smooth them visually if possible? Ideally the AI wouldn't be able to do that, but... 2. IIrc, the tire model isn't the same as the player's either. Not sure if this still applies. More assist levels (not just off, low, high), particularly for stability and traction control. More customizable controller input curves and effects. Some extra visual options (some examples).These are not "mechanical" effects and are separated from the physics: 1. Disable rendering the car engine and body. 2. Exaggerated suspension effects on camera or other effects to indicate slippage/tire/suspension info. Options that do affect physics, some would argue but you can just mod it or whatever, no: 1. Global tire grip multiplier. 2. Global surface (that is track, kerbs, grass, sand, etc) grip level options.
