V 1.4 speculation

Implementing programmable butttons for each TC and ABS setting would be nice, so i can use my Fanatec McLaren GT3 Wheel.
 
I do hope that the Acura ARX-06 is included in one of the packs or as a free gift.
Even though it is not part of the WEC or ELMS, it can get added as standalone similar to the Adess?

Hey Red. Nice to see you in a thread other than your Dashboard thread 🙂

You mean the Adess. Which has likely been added because Michelin Le Mans Cup will be added to the game eventually.

Of course you could be right with the Acura. If they’re going down the route they seem to be with the American tracks and just adding whatever content they can get individual licences for, then why not? I’m personally not a fan of this and would rather they stick to content they can get championship licenses for, but that’s because I’m more into single player and like to recreate official championships.
 
I’d really love to see the Porsche Cup come to LMU, as well as GT4s. I would also add the old Le Mans legends... the old LMP1s, 787B, 911 GT1 '98..................

This sim has huge potential and could become the benchmark! Unfortunately, the content is likely to remain limited.

New tracks are cool and all, but driving GT4 or Cup cars would be such a blast and add some variety!

Remember, S397 never got the rights to the Honda/Acura NSX GT3. They may not be able to afford the Acura GTP either.

Was not aware this was an issue, hope it is sorted soon, does this mean you have to use your keyboard?

No, the game takes + and - fine, just like keyboard inputs. What it can’t do is use a wheel’s encoders in absolute positions, so when you have a physical dial set to 3 for example it would actually set the car to 3.

Wheels with “soft” displays can cope with it, but not physically-numbered encoders.

Kind of not a huge thing, but annoying if you have an expensive wheel.
 
In fairness, the NSX was not a part of GTLM class or GTam at the time the game was put out.

They were used in Imsa for a year, but not in FIA series, not sure if one was ever used in ELMS, but it was not released initially anyway when the game was.

They have been seen at times in GTWC and British GT, but rarely in last couple of years.

In terms of cars, I can't think of any in IMSA that do not exist here, other than the Acura, so I imagine if they are doing a proper IMSA release it will be there, but it looks like this is just track packs and maybe some lower level IMSA content, which will be primarily liveries as the classes are lmp3 2, GT3.

TcR and GT4 would be great

Be interested in how they price it then...

That might not be possible as SRO has control of that series. SRO is a direct competitor to WEC, but they do license the various GT2,3,4 classes to series all over the world,

Plus it would be easy to implement liveries, along with the audi GT3 evo II.

Tracks would take longer to obtain, but in could be wrong. And would improve track variety and when stable enough, host major special events like in real life.

I 'should' have stated back with rF2 and the GT3 carpaks S397 did. My bad.
 
I would have loved to have Studio 397 get the IMSA license for LMU. However, we are getting the next best thing and I am very happy about the upcoming content. Specifically, I am really excited about Daytona, Laguna Seca, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen and Indy. I do not really care about Long Beach although I do understand why LMU would like to include a tight street circuit for variety's sake. I am hoping at some point in the future we get Road America (which was a weird track to leave out) and maybe a couple more great American tracks like Mid-Ohio and VIR.

Although the IMSA liveries would be a great add, I am OK with just having the WEC and ELMS liveries available. I have my own team livery which is what I will use on my own cars.

I am glad that Motorsports Games realized it was in their best financial interest to pursue the simracers in the North American market. I expect this move to be a huge windfall and generate a lot of sales of both the base LMU game and these new DLC packs. Maybe if the sales justify it, then the full IMSA license will come later.

I am eagerly awaiting the other improvements and fixes that will come with the 1.4 patch. It has been a while since I have actually raced but I am really looking forward to turning laps on Daytona (which I have driven in real life) and Laguna Seca later this month. Fun times ahead!
