Granted nearly all use of Wangan was to farm XP/RP but I don't really see the logic in removing it. It bored me as a mode so I didn't do it a lot, but I did use it some. The people who like to farm XP won't necessarily play other modes instead, they might just quit playing. I can't see how...

A little aside here... To my mind one of the biggest off-puts in the game is that voting thing, which unfortunately the majority of rooms have turned on. If I like long road courses, or multi-lap, I don't want to be forced onto a short stunt course, or dirt. I imagine those who favour dirt...

I would love missions to come back, but if it's dependent on Invictus it might take a while; and maybe they want money. Frankly, they should be happy someone is actively working on a game which, in truth, although I like it, is really rather outdated - that said, it's quite popular now to...

Last couple of days the US and Asia servers seem to be stuck on "full". Are they turned off or something?

But how many play drag mode? One thing to watch with long wangan sessions, if you lose net connection you might lose the race points. Same is true of any race of course but it'd suck if it happened on leg 19/20... Personally, I like 5-7laps on the long Tokyo courses. Not as much XP as...

Can we report people for quitting races, causing the race to end prematurely? Had one yesterday claiming to have wrong balance in wangan. Quit in first round of 10, meaning no points. This meant I lost 2x XP and RP items which cost actual money, so not impressed. If you got into a race...

As for payouts and wangan, you can make 40km race by doing 7 laps of city tour #2, with a decent payout. It's not a difficult track to drive and takes less time than 5 wangan, yet if you make a room for that you get hardly any players. So really, now that (it appears) race laps can go to 20...

I think the handling is just a function of the higher speed - you get used to a certain corner being, let's say, flat in 4th and then while in catch-up the car is going faster, so you have less grip.

Missing mouse pointer, so far only seen when returning to room after a race. KB 4540673 installed and win 10 pro all updated. Pressing Y to get the chatbox makes the cursor re-appear but only while the chatbox is open; close chat and it vanishes again. I didn't try the trunk key. Note that...

Oh yes, forgot about the RS2. Also, I note considerable differences in handling between practice mode and arcade mode, so I kind of assume that practice mode uses sim physics? In particular, the speeds are higher in arcade. I happened to do a bunch of test laps getting it tuned how I wanted...

Just for the record, fake brands and more cars wins hands-down over actual licensed brands. We all know what cars they are anyhow. If I can have the 2000GT back I care not at all if it's called a Tornado 1999 in the game, or such. Reminds me that SCS truck games had brands like Valiant...

I apologise for my rather brusque comment about the Beta, having now found the relevant post I see that it does state multiplayer disabled and mention the download size. Chalk it up to frustration caused by, among other things, internet connection which in daytime manages only about 1Mb if...

I agree about Wangan, 100%. It's really not needed. If you want easy farming, then you can use any of the long city tour maps and still have an actual race. Do 5 or even 10 laps, learn the track and see your time improve while you make XP :) None of those tracks is that hard to master, even...

The quadro out of the box, for me anyway, sucks. Now I've got it maxed out and found a handling balance I like, it's feeling much better on, say, city tour #2. Looks to me that it's based on an Audi, likely the A4, which in the real world are noted for superb grip and stable handling, so quite...

When I played back in Aeria era, the Kawana started off disappointingly slow, same here. It needs the upgrades (but so do all the cars) and mostly you need to learn it and get the tuning and balancing just right. You can equally well argue that the Corall Spire (and for the life of me I can't...
