I’m just asking myself, what do developers want to make of FM? I think this game might be just a cheap alternative for IRacing. Yeah, don’t think that I’ve lost my mind, I’ll try to explain it.
So, FM has lots of different cars and different classes, from road cars of 1950’s to modern LMH; there’s also multiclass racing, with opportunity to make even 24h endurances; different types of circuits, like typical road circuits or speedways; dynamic time of day; pretty nice physics (of course not as good as in IR, no doubt, but it’s pretty decent and enjoyable for controller) and etc. But there’s a few things, which must be in the game for me to think, that FM is a cheap IR, it’s just these 3 things:
drivers swaps during the race;
dynamic weather (maybe it’s in the game, but I never saw it);
bigger starting grid (for at least 50 cars in multiclass race).
I can play this game without flags (yellow, blue and others), without safety car, without opportunity to look at the lap times of every driver at the end/during the session, without manual lights and wipers, and without many other things, because this game costs me almost nothing, I playing it by game pass, but these 3 things can make a very big difference, so I really hope to see it in a seeable future, because in other way I’m afraid I will just lost interest for this game. I know it might be hard to put this into XSX/S, but I ready to play the game on minimal settings to get that experience of big endurance races. This will also give a big breathe of fresh air into the league racing I think. I saw that some people explained here how to put this in the game, so I’m not gonna repeat after them, I just wanted to send a message what I want to have from this game, so don’t throw tomatoes at me please
