    In the very early builds we had a pit crew (they didn't move and looked kind of cheesey which is why, I assume, ISI got rid of them), but now we don't. Is this a feature that will return in the future or was it just scrapped for good?

    I'm sure they will return. But it obviously not a priority right now. Physics implementation and performance are way more important. Thing like pitcrews are probably the very last thing to be implemented as they do not directly affect the gameplay.

    Things missing from previous builds:

    1) Pit Crew - still cant understand why it was taken out, obviously a placeholder and much better than the Red Box which is sometimes hard to see!
    2) Heat Mirage on the Asphalt
    3) Sun Glare, dont get that anymore or if it is there then it's much much weaker than the early buildswhich was perfect for me!

    Must be close to gold if these are the questions.

    It's not a case of "just adding it", but they have to make different kind of crew animations (IndyCar with onboard jacks won't be the same as NASCAR, or F1), and make it easily modable to be adapted on each car. It's not something done in two minutes.
    If the sim wasn't modable, it'd probably integrated a long time ago.

    I think there are more important issues to fix. Like the not too impressive graphics, especially cars and roads.
