Racing Line?

[Flatl1ner]

Will there be no racing line selectable in the difficulty options menue?

Take a look outside. Is there a racingline or at f1 tc oval or other events or in your car? #LearnTheTrack

Now for a constructive response: the racing line has been replaced with corner marker icons that indicate when to brake, the corner midpoint and the optimum corner exit track position.

"You will be able to purchase the racing line from our in game cash shop".


Calling it now ;-)

The corner icons are actually better for the community, too many racers will only follow the racing line when its meant to be a guide. You're never going to be quick if you only follow it.

His question is can that assist be turned off in the settings like other games. It is kind of a distraction after the driver knows or has learned the tracks.

Most of us from the other racing games know most of these tracks and dont need this kind of assist. Anyway, good question.

I'm looking for a game, not a simulation, not the perfect realism.
Most of the racing games have a selectable racing line. If this will be a game only for profi-gamers, this will not be my game, sorry!

A racing line is expected now, most players want it. Let those who don't want it, turn it off. Let those who do want it, have it.

If this game has decided to arrogantly dispense with it altogether, yet market itself as a Forza / GT competitor, it is dead on arrival.

Ain't this the truth. The longer you have it on the harder it is to turn off.

It would be silly not to have that option. I cant imagine it will look good streaming with dots all over the track.

If, by the miraculous decision they force it. I'm sure we can mod it out.

I'm pretty sure it will be an option.

[MadDoggyca]

can we please get a real racing line.. like the ones before and the same style D2 full on racing like like F1 games have


the racing "markers" are a complete joke...

[dthayer0971]

dont expect the racing lines to change. I wouldnt hold my brreath for game changes for PC3

When we are doing races anyway with a group of AI cars or online, we are usually not following the ideal race line cause we are trying to pass other cars.

Myself, i would just turn this assist off. I know most the tracks from other games anyway.

Good decision removing assist lines.

Yes it can be disabled.

Why? Every racing game since Forza Motorsport 1 in 2005 has had them, they are now considered mandatory, millions of players are used to them. You can scoff that they shouldn't use them as a crutch, but you could say that about any other assist that you personally don't approve of, like traction control.

They should patch racing lines back in, as their omission will be baffling to a lot of players.

Yes it would be nice to have the typical racing lines like other games, but the Devs. decided to do it their way. Maybe they could add the typical lines and also keep what they have as a future update and you select which one you want. But I dont know how willing the Devs are up to making these kind of changes.

i myself dont even pay attention to the racing lines cause I know most the tracks. The ones that are new only take me a few laps to learn.

And to @Mahjik, I got the game last night and did a couple hours with it. So far it has worked well with my Thrustmaster TMX wheel and Oculus Rift S. Resolution i am running is 4k Res.
