I would love to see this. It amazes me that it hasn't found it's way
into the code already. Maybe nobody at Papy connects through
Sierra.com.
I'd like to be able to reassign game functions to other keys. For
example, changing car view is pageup and pagedown. I have a ForceRS
wheel and use RBJoy to assign buttons to keys, etc. For whatever
reason, RBJoy can't send pageup and/or pagedown in a way that the game
can recognize. I'd like to reassign the change view function to
another set of keys that RBJoy can handle.
You could reassign the Function keys to the keypad, which is much
easier to use "one-handed", etc.
Kind of nit picky, but it is something that would be nice to have.
Other things:
- Reinstate a server admin's ability to toss yellows, black flags,
etc.
- Change the pit rules for BMS to reflect current reality
- spring ***s: we hear about these every race, why aren't they in
the game?
Pipe dreams:
-Dynamic, scriptable weather
-Dynamic, scriptable track surfaces (groove changes, oil, debris, etc)
-Variable engine performance (more HP vs. increased risk of failure)
-Career/team management modes, though this sort of becomes a game unto
itself
-Interactive pitcrew AI (you tell the crewchief I am loose in 3 and
the AI decides what to do based on basic algorithms, current and
future expectations of track conditions, results of past changes in
similar conditions, and your driving style)
-better AI for NASCAR officials assessing track conditions, when to go
green, when to assess penalties.
-game enforces user specified racing rules with user specified
penalties (i.e. the game should be able to enforce whatever penalty is
desired for passing before the backstretch)
-scriptable race conditions (i.e. we will have a yellow at lap 30 to
check tire wear, etc.)
-better customization of track.ini (racing groove, sealer, aero rules,
etc.)
-set the game in 1984. jk, but I am still holding out hope for NL2...
7 years into the race, Papy is off to a blazing start, but still has
many laps to go before they get to the checkered flag.
