clarification of turn/curve guide in HUD, not turn signal as in amber indicator lights on a road vehicle :sweat_smile:

I got this for Nintendo Switch, and it's a solid simulation with good controls & configuration. The course and landscape is quite pretty and varied, even only in the main 60 km loop. It's fun to drive like as either a civilian or a maniac.

 

Pro:
+ nuanced traction + momentum sim (try turning off wheelie/stoppy protection)
+ decent sound (wind, engine shifting)

+ semi-realistic crashes, loss of control (curbs, jumps, etc.)

+ at least minimal turn notification/guides (like having a co-driver, but just icons at the top of the screen)

+ graphics let me pretend I'm traveling there

 

Con:

- timing or grades of turn/corner guides seem off sometimes (delayed, or a tight turn being called a gradual turn)

- I'd like the map HUD to be 2x size closer to horizon, or something to help me know upcoming turns

 

Missing/wishlist:
- control for field of view (default is good, but if rendering low resolution, zooming it would help)
- gyro steering

 

-- but despite their absence, I still love this game after playing it 1~ week.

 

Since my skills are slim, my favorite mode is time trial +ghost. It has a good "driving line" path+speed HUD guide, but I leave it off.

On Switch, the display resolution seems lower than 1080p, and it can make it a little difficult, but I think the underlying sim is quite good. You can enable/disable lots of stability and traction systems. I really wish they implemented gyro steering, but it came out 2018, so I don't expect updates.
