This is BY FAR the best version of SLRR I've played. After there are more than a few cars it will be much more enjoyable to play. I also recommend changing the $25,000 starting cash to $30,000 as the Honda Civic has nothing against a 350Z when you start a new career; an advancing difficulty would also fix this: possibly have it start out just racing other Hondas, rather than starting your first day/night being left in the dust of a V-6 Nissan...
Another idea would be to change ALL prices to be more realistic, I mean you could go on Craigslist and find a decent Civic for $5,000. The prices that the cars are now could be the "new dealer" prices, because would you pay $23,300 for a rusted Civic that's missing control arms, a strut, and a wheel? Probably not. This is not a problem with YOUR version of SLRR but the original SLRR, and something that would definately add to the realism.
-I really enjoy the super clean catolog, but I feel it is lacking a few things (yes I see you have some listed in your "to do" section)
Exhaust tips
More wheels (more sizes-not just 15s&16s)
Steering wheels
Control arms (maybe have stock cars come with cheaper control arms?)
-Some things that I feel could be taken OUT of the catolog (my opinion)
Audio (who the hell actually uses this anyways)
Vehicle (I don't know many websites that allow you to order a whole car)
Pedals/Decoration/Shift Knobs (all that stuff that doesn't have a purpose in the interior section)
-Here are some random things I thought of
Have only NEW/er cars available in the new car lot
Change the way the used car lot generates cars so they are ALL drive-able
Different difficulty drag races at night (because right now they're either hella easy, or make you want to throw your wheel at your monitor)
Field of view while driving?
allow to set certain camera as default camera while driving
certain area for high stakes pink-slip racing at night?
is it possible to change the Valo-City map? It would be cool to add the "test track" to a certain area of the map and have only one map-but add things to make it more lively.
This is kinda random, but the road textures are so weird, there's like a sidewalk on every road, and driving in FPS mode is super annoying.
I play with a Logitech G27 (sequential shifter mod, larger wheel installed) and the compatibility with this game is great, it's so nice to slide around in Silvia, and actually feel (as much as SLRR can come close to) Real.
Overall this version of SLRR is absolutely STUNNING, and I'll be here to test every version that comes out!
