Hi guys, a couple of months ago I created a thread with a suggestion for the halo but now I created a more detailed solution and example of what I mean. The Halo is a big problem for any cockpit user and removing the central column is nice but don't look very realistic. An additional option can be added. F1 is a simulator and it`s trying to feel very realistic but the lack of geometry of the equipment make it less authentic. The halo is a part of the modern open wheel single sitters and doesn't disturb the drivers but for the players is a big issue. I was thinking why not introduce 2 sliders one for the size of a mask controlling the area of the transparent part and another one controlling the exact transparency. The eyes naturally make the front of the halo transparent when you drive and a similar effect can be achieved. With the sliders, you can make it transparent let say from 100% to around 10%. The effect can be on the top of the screen and the edges can be more opaque when the mask is resized with the slider. Similar to the image below. With this option, you can still see the sky and surrounding cars and the front of the car but still, have this illusion of the eyes adjusting to the object in front. Here is an example of it. The game makes the car transparent when you drive through objects but this option can be made for the cockpit view making the halo-less of a problem but of a feature.

Get it out i say! @DiRTFanNo.1

Ok, this is a strange bug I presume was created when Codies try to improve the night races but there is a side effect, any light source is on now on any track permanently during the day. In 2018 some of the tracks like Monaco have the same issue in day time since was tweaked for night races and the lights are on permanently, but it's less noticeable because they are far weaker and don't have the new glow during nights like in 2019.

Version: 1.04 Platform: Playstation 4, Xbox and PC Mode: Ranked Online (5 laps and 25% distance) Whenever I'm playing online ranked mode, I'm getting way too low amount of skill points when I win. I know it depends on amount of players in lobby, but for example, in 10 player lobby, when I finish 4, I'm getting like 10 points max. And what's worse, it doesn't matter if I drive 5 laps or 25% distance. But now the worst part. If you place somewhere in the back, game takes way too much points from you. Once I was driving on 1sf position and I've got error... I lost about 300 skill points. This is ridiculous and not even my fault. TL:DR: We lose way too much skill points for stuff like being rammed, destroyed or even from game errors and we are earning way too low. Stuff like this shouldn't even happen... Going for the achievement Pure Gold itself is pain in the ass. At least give us ability to improve skill rating in unranked matches while playing with our friends. Sorry to say this, but the game is once again broken in online mode at the start. Year after year the same thing happens over and over again. I think, like the rest of us, that it's time to do something with this finally. We came up with few solutions (with forums help of course) that can help us and dev team to decide what to do with this problem: - Significantly increase rewarding points and lower the negative ones. We are being punished way too hard right now. Points are also really slowing down when around 1800 points. We are winning like couple of points (if we are lucky) and losing tons of them (when not lucky). - Positive points for more places than just above 50%. Sometimes we even get negative points for placing much higher than half of the grid and we're still getting negative points. It's really depressing to when you're being punished for your hard work. - Completely remove negative points for being destroyed, disconnections and game errors. It's not our fault, so we shouldn't be punished for such an accidents. No points won't hurt anybody and we can at least play and have fun without being worried that someone will ram us to the wall. - Give us ability to increase Skill Rating in Unranked races. We can play with friends and that way increase skill and than be matched with other players that know how to race. I'm mean, for real, nobody would mind that, right? - Lower requirements for the "Pure Gold" trophy/achievement. It's kinda linked to above points but it doesn't hurt to mention it. Right now it's really very unfair achievement. - I know this is not related strictly to the skill rating system, but please improve penalty system. It needs drastic updates, because right now there literally no penalty system at all. People can do whatever they want and there's no punishment. PS. Please, if you really want this problem to be fixed, spread the word and share link to this topic whenever you need. The more people will give their voice the more chances it will be fixed.

Fabia Rally and C4 Rally has got 1-1 "real" livery only. 😞 I could make 10 liveries for each, but i can't do that because they are already locked (crypted) So my question is: could you unlock all the DLC cars? 😄 Or at least could you share a .pssg files instead of locked .nefs for modders like Me? It would be a win-win connection! 😉

The interesting thing about Rally and RX is that different areas prefer one over the other. In Europe historic rally is a big thing for players, whereas in the Americas they tend to like the more modern stuff, and the RX events in particular.

It’s Wales if you flew Ryanair (and landed in Poland). Meanwhile, a bunch of screenshots got approved today, here’s another of the Porsche 🙂

Fly me to the moon 🙂

had some fun in MC. funnily enough, the last photo is first and the initial one is second. but yeah. whoops.

Am I the only one here that wants to see his setup and full collection?🤓

"Any depiction or recreation of real world locations, entities, businesses, or organizations is not intended to be or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of this game by such party or parties. " Then why can't DR2 follow that same path? That sentence would also be valid for modded liveries, since there's no editor ingame, therefore DLC cars could be unlocked 'unintentionally'. Just pretend it's another bug that came in a patch instead of breaking another gameplay feature.

just did a test, career. in spain done all programs and catch 400 points, monaco: simulated and more or less 300. be aware that if you hit the button simulate on P1, it jumps directly to Q. so maybe its better to make p1, test some setups, then simulate p2+p3.

This game required online accounts. Every user account should have a database which DLC is paid by them Not a hard job to check which player can drive a DLC car - sg like as Rockstar games handles it. The way as CM now encrypted only DLC cars is ridicule

Changing tarmac physics requires rebalancing all of the AI plus changes to other things like tyre wear. Chalk that up as unlikely.

After putting my original wheel on, and the the tm open wheel again it worked! Don't know what it was, maybe a small installment issue :)

Other games have locked car files but offer a "custom livery" folder outside the main car folder.... if other companys can do it that way... why can't codies do it

Thanks for your answer @PJTierney ! This is a really bad news 😢 - You should protect by another way to not let people use DLC cars who not paid for them - At least use the same methode to let use custom liveries from sub-folders as you did the same for all other car - we don't need to unencrypted .NEFS files...

Had a few comments about that; I'll bring it up in the next community feedback session 🙂

Hey @PJTierney - we'd massively appreciate word on whether the folder method for liveries can be patched in for DLC cars. Even if DLC .nefs stay encrypted, there is a wealth of liveries for models we've seen before in DiRT 4 / DR which we could use if the folder method would work.

Hello everyone !! I also want to make skin for the DLC car it would be super simpas, I have already full in stock

Well, that doesn't mean it won't change in the future. As long as there is no definitive answer from @ChristinaMc or anyone of the team, I will keep my hopes up.

It should be an easy fix. Release those plain black and white liveries, make sure we can get to them and we'll do the rest. 😁

I wish to create some liveries for Fabia WRC, for C4 WRC and for Manta too 🙂

Mate, what are you doing!?! That's the opposite of what I want to achieve! We need to make enough noise so that CM makes them available for modders, like myself. I want to create liveries for those cars! 😋

I'm fine tuning my latest livery and will release it tomorrow if all goes right: If there are modders out there who know exactly where I can find the white piece under the number plate, please let me know because I've tried so many things and haven't found it yet. It's reeaaaaaalllly bugging me!!! 😠 Next on my list is a request from Louis Louka, co-driver of Grégoire Munster: And the one after that will most likely be the following livery: What do you guys think? Not a bad line-up, is it? Let me know what you think. P.S.: Keep moaning/complaining about the fact that cars added as DLC content can't be modded. I really want to start on some of those beauties! I have a few of them in mind and I'll even give you a idea of what you can expect if we would be able to make this blockade go away. If we are not able to realise this, we are missing out on all of the following marvelous liveries! Manta 400: Citroën C4 WRC: Skoda Fabia WRC: Ford Focus WRC (late 2000's): Subaru Impreza S14 WRC: So, you know what to do! Make some noise!!!
