2 pointsYeah were not allowed to travel for easter because of the Covid19 lockdown but she being in the defense forces makes her exempt from that. The gist of that is that since shes been on active duty for 2 weeks (ie living at the RAAF base and not going home) that they deserve the opportunity to see family wherever they may be. Funny story, this morning I did my morning beach walk as normal, same guys as normal out fishing/crabbing, till today they have never said anything but good morning by way of greeting and have really ignored me. Anyway I'm walking while my missus was running and I saw them all turn and stare and follow her with their eyes up the beach I thought I'd be cheeky and when I walked by said 'nice view this morning' hahaha they all blushed and looked embarrassed!!! got them good 😄

2 pointsNothing special. A spin on ss2 and a blown tyre on the end of ss6. That was strange, nothing hit but just before a corner it went of the rim. So I spun. Facing the wrong direction the co said 'I think there is something wrong with the car'.... yup I noticed 😀

2 pointsMore R-GT online events would be nice. It's almost nonexistent in online events despite being a vanilla class. Why? Those are awesome cars too. H1, H2, R2, R5 have events every week but R-GT events are really rare
-
2 pointsH1 class, add cars like escort mk1, saab 96 and the beetle H2 class, make 1 class with a mixture of fwd and rwd cars (we don't have that right now) F2 class, add more cars, like Megane and Nissan Sunny N4 class, skip this one it doesn't add to the experience RX add a retro class, if you add the cars to H1 and H2 class like I propose you have the models already, maybe add a Porsche and Lancia Stratos as they were iconic rx cars in that time period

2 pointsAlright, this is my kind of topic ! 😄 I want to start by saying the car selection in DR2 is superb and, in a perfect world, every car present in DR2 would get put back in a potential DR3. I like every single one of them, I'm very glad for the great variety and I wish it would just expand. As much as I love grassroots rally car builds, I think DR's car selection is strong because each car is authentic and homologated in the real world (yes, there's a slight stretch with R-GT's but the Mustang, Camaro and BMW would fit the class is anyone wanted to actually rally them, there has been single-entries RWD converted Gallardos in the past to give you an idea on how "lax" R-GT's are). I would also like to adress that having "un-competitive" cars is absolutely fine ! Yes, WR chasers aren't going to use the 240Z or the DS21 but restricting classes to "competitive cars" only would give us a lot of single-to-two car entries per class 😄 Finally, on fictional cars : I don't care much for them. I kinda understand the appeal but I'm personally not interested at all. That said, let's get on with a big ol' list ! I'll start by adding entries to existing classes and then I'll try and mock up classes that we don't have but would fit the game like a glove. Every car that I will put forward has been homologated IRL, for consistency's sake. H1 FWD : I was amazed with the addition of the DS in that class ! Hard to find a lot of cars to add here that are going to fit the sort of timeframe we seem to be working with (most cars being RWD at the time) but the obvious addition here would be a Saab 96. H2 FWD : Started as a single-car class in D4, it was great to see the Golf added to the list here ! Loads of good FWD Group A cars would fit very well here like McRae's own Vauxhall Nova ! The Peugeot 309 GTi or the more modern Renault Clio 16S would also fit the bill quite well. The addition of oddballs such as the Nissan Micra (March) Super Turbo would be great too. H2 RWD : Now here's a popular class ! A very well put together car selection here but, with so many candidates I'm quite amazed this class hasn't been expended. From Volvo 140's to Vauxhall Chevette, Peugeot 504 V6 to Talbot Sunbeam, Toyota Celica RA20 GT2000 to Datsun Violet 710. Even a good ol' Fiat 124 Spider would fit well here. There's so much that can be done here ! H3 RWD : A good class that has been well expended with very different cars that fit loads of playstyles. From the last of the group 4 breed to RWD Group A cars, there's a lot to like ... and a lot that can be added here ! Some obvious candidates would be things like the Ferrari 308 GTB, Alpine A310 V6. Loads of oddballs can fit right in also like the Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo, Mitsubishi Starion Turbo, Mercedes 190E 2.3 ... Even Mk III Supra's have been homologated ! And for those who like big V8 luxoboats, Mercedes rallied their 500 SLC too back in the day ! F2 Kit Car : The MKIV golf was a nice addition here and this class is so well defined that finding new cars to put here is a breeze. Here's some I'd love to see here : Hyundai Coupe RD Evo 2, driven by Colin's brother it was pretty competitive on the rough stuff where most F2's were tarmac cars. Renault Megane Maxi, because we all need another high-strung French tarmac monster ! The Opel (Vauxhall) Astra G also made for a pretty cool, if late) kit car. There's also some kit cars that were used as fundations for early WRC cars, the Ibiza we already have helped for developping the later Cordoba WRC. The Citroen Xsara Kit Car was an absolute tarmac monster that helped for the Xsara WRC. The lesser known exemple is the Skoda Octavia Kit Car ! Yes, big sedans can be FWD tarmac eating monsters too ! Finally, we already have "some of it" in the game, so why not add the Nissan Sunny Kit Car ? 😄 Group B RWD : One of my absolute favorite class that has been greatly expended in DR2 ! I'm amazed the BMW M1 is featured in a rally game ! The obvious possible additions here would be the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo and the Mazda RX-7 FB, which would add even more drivetrain diversity in a very diverse class. I would also enjoy seeing the Nissan Silvia 240RS Evo and the Toyota Celica TA64. Group B AWD : Not much wiggle room here as we have a pretty complete selection already. The Citroen BX 4TC is the obvious, if not joke-y addition here. I would also enjoy seeing older evolution of the cars we already have, such has the earlier Audi Quattro seen in DR1 or even the non-evo peugeot 205 T16. R2 : A well defined class that only waits for a few cars to be added, like the newest Peugeot 208 which has gone turbo. Group A : Talk about a cornerstone of a class ! The obvious addition here would be the Castrol-painted, rules-bending Toyota Celica ST205. For a while, this class felt like it was somewhat limited to newer 4WD group A cars but the recent addition of the Subaru legacy is refreshing and makes me want more old 4WD goodies ! Cars like the Mazda 323 GTR or older Mazda 323 BR 4WD Turbo, Mitsubishi Galant VR4 or any older variant of the Lancer Evolution and the Nissan Sunny GTi-R ! We can also count some pretty amazing oddballs such as the Audi 200 Quattro or the Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth 4x4 (what a long name ! 😄 ). NR4 : A good introduction to modern 4WD rallying, this class is pretty dead as it counts only late model group N cars. There isn't much to go around here except maybe adding an older Impreza group N model or Lancer Evo IX. There is, however, a renewal of the rules concerning R4 cars with most of them built around a Oreca supplied kit. So there could be cars such as the Fiat 500X R4 or the -good news- Dacia Sandero R4 being added here 😄 4WD up to 2000CC : What. A. Class. Hard to make a wishlist here that is not "basically all of them". And yes, I would love to see even the Suzuki SX4 or the Peugeot 307 in there. Keep feeding us that good stuff ! 😄 R5 : Not many cars that can be added here ! Well represented and well defined, it is easy to find the couple of cars that are missing here such has the Citroen DS3 or the latest Ford Fiesta. R-GT : R-GT being pretty open as it is, all sorts of cars can be "imagined" to be running here. there are however a couple of usual suspects seen in actual rallyes are missing, cars like the Fiat Abarth 124 Spider Here are my thoughts on existing classes ... but how about adding some new classes : H1 RWD : The obvious class to add. All sorts of great low-power RWD cars can fit in there from Hillman imp to MK1 Escorts, Opel Kadett B's to NSU TT's, Renault 8's to Simca Rallye 2's, old VW's, Datsun 510's (we all need a Datsun 510 Safari in our lives). The list can go on and on ! Super 2000 : A class I've been straved from since Dirt 3 ! S2000 can be seen as a "proto R5" with -mostly- high strung 2L NA engines. Basically think of them like smashing a F2 kit car engine into a R5 chassis. Not many cars were made for that class but a good start would be with the Peugeot 207 S2000 and the Fiat Grande Punto S2000. There has been some VW Polo IV's and MG ZR's also added to the mix. FWD up to 1600cc : Basically, bunching up Super 1600 cars like the Polo S1600, Clio S1600, Corsa S1600 (all present in the game as RX cars) with smaller displacement F2 kit cars like the Ford Puma kit car, Citroen Saxo car and Peugeot 106 Maxi.

2 pointsI would love to see these; (Codies should also get rid of that Escort's ugly double light front grill) BMW e36 M3 would be the best of those IMO. Those are totally bonkers and actually some of those M3's tops higher top speeds here than WRC cars does.

2 pointsFor those who want to fiddle around with the dlc liveries, i updated my website. You can now find all cars from the base game and all dlc cars with the corresponding abbreviations. This way it is a bit easier to find the correct .nefs file in the DiRT Rally 2.0/cars folder that belongs to a full size car name that you can see in the car menu in the game. Scroll down to the Car File Names section http://www.rallygamer.com/dirtrally2/tools/texture-design-tools.php In case you need a tool or a tutorial for creating liveries yourself then the same page provides it for you. Have fun, be safe and stay home.

1 pointI play Grid with the keyboard as the controler for me is impossible. From time to time suddently one of the keys for left/right/accelarate/brake does not respond any more. Sometimes it recovers after 10 seconds, sometimes the problem continues for minutes. The issues stays there even when I start a new race. Sometimes it doesn't happen for half an hour or more, sometimes it occurs twice in a race. Anyone else with this issue?

1 pointaren't the bonus events only for people who own that specific DLC? I thought it was the Promo events that allow people to try out locations they don't own?

1 pointWell, a remaster update (performance and graphics) would mean, I would buy the X-Box Series X day one. I would even buy the "DR 2.5 Definitive Edition" day one at full price 😄 Would prefer a performance push more than higher resolution, though. Faster Loading times, no pop-ins, rock solid 60fps, no strange graphical issues, sharper textures...a dream would come true. Content and physics wise I'm already more than happy with the game. I know you said PS5, but that would X-Box Series X count in, right?

1 pointI could make a list with 100 cars that need to be added but here some important ones. Many cars from finnish, estonian, czech championship would be great (Like the ones listed above or that i link). Many have some bigger history. Here is a small list i made. F2 (Rest the missing 24 cars like Clio Maxi,xsara) S1600 (clio, c2, punto, corsa...) S2000 Group R Group 2: Chrysler Sunbeam Lotus group 2 Skoda 130 RS Group 2 Datsun Violet 710 Group 2 Saab 96 V4 group 2 BMW 2002 Ti group 2 Trabant P601 group 2 Volvo 142S group 2 Group 4: FSO Polonez Group 4 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo group 4 Fiat 124 Abarth Rally Group 4 Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS group 4 Saab 99 EMS 16V group 4 Group A: Toyota Starlet KP61 group A Toyota Corolla AE86 GT group A Volvo 240 Opel Kadett E GSi 16V group A VAZ Lada Samara 21083 group A Skoda Favorit 136L group A Renault Clio I Williams group A Peugeot 309 II GTi16 group A Nissan Sunny N14 GTi group A (early 90s) Audi 200 Group A Mitsubishi Galant Group A Toyota Celica ST165 GT4 Mazda 323 BG8 4WD/GTX group A Group B: Renault 5 Maxi Turbo group B Toyota Celica TA64 Twin Cam Turbo group B Mazda RX7 FB group B Skoda 130 LR Group B

1 pointI can understand his frustration and for the whole player base of this game it's actually not bad. Lando has a huge reach in media and can therefore put a lot of pressure on CM to improve the experience in future titles. Liberty Media is certainly not pleased to see one of the most popular drivers throwing the official game into the bin and that is rather a problem for CM than Lando because it's not his fault.

1 pointI think the idea of adding a H1 RWD is great. Would love to see a Volvo 240 or 142. ^^ Edit: Look at these things

1 pointNo, no you don't have fictional cars in DR2 - you may have odd cars that aren't specifically homologated for rally, but they're all real cars. These are not fantasy car games, they're real cars and real rally, so i don't think it makes any sense to put in fictional cars, it doesn't fit. Either way, this is a cars for DR3 thread, let's stick to cars that exist for this one please 🙂

1 pointPeugeot 205 GTI - Ben Godney You can download the livery here http://www.rallygamer.com/dirtrally2/liveries/page2.php

1 pointnah, the GOTY edition is just the base game with a pass for all the DLC. if you buy the disc version it comes with a code that allows you to download it. it doesn't make the DLC part of the base game. [whispers] the GOTY edition is just a repackaged SuperDeluxe Edition, which came out back in September.

1 pointWhats the use of talking multiple paths in R&D if all cars are equal? You can easily achieve a smaller gap by increasing the difficulty slider while driving a top three car. I really don't see the point in this. Besides that, AI drivers should perform equal too. That's the main difference using equal cars online but having difference in experience by the real human drivers. Offline that will translate in a very boring, predicatble line of cars.
-
1 pointHow do you think a career will develop with equal engines in singleplayer? That will ruin the competative element in career mode.

1 point@PJTierney Been having an issues on Scotland, the same stage (Old Butterstone Muir) that others are complaining about in this thread (and other places on the forums). Its actually quite an issue, and the effect of it happening is amplified while driving at speed over it. When the FPS drop kicks in, it lasts from the bridge to the next corner entry just beyond it. In VR this is absolutly awful, and it causes motion sickness due to the stuttering and hitching that happens. The fps drop happens at only one specific point on the bridge, but it is far less noticable when playing on a monitor. Especially if V-synced to 60FPS, and have enough CPU and GPU headroom to deal with it. But on lower end/older hardware, and especially in VR. The performance headroom just isnt there to deal with it. It needs resolving. Playing on Steam using OculusSDK (and a 120hz capable LG TV when playing on monitor mode at 1080P) Thrustmaster T300 with T3PA Pro pedlals 2xTH8A shifters Oculus Rift CV1 Intel core i7 6700k@4.2Ghz MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X plus 8GB 16GB@3000Mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX Video footage of it happening, and showing the point where it kicks in without fail every single time. And as said, the stuttering and FPS drop is worse when going over it at racing speeds.

1 point(PC) South Morningside over small bridge - massive slowdown & on all variants that cross that bridge, fps shoots back up once crossed. Does not do it in the replay which is odd. Please fix.

1 pointTrack recommendations: Mount Panorama Sand Down Adelaide 500 Street Circuit Feature Recommendations: What the current fastest lap is and who it's set by during the race. A best sector 1, 2 and 3 time while racing and for qualifying for both yourself and other drivers A time difference on the leaderboard for people behind you and people ahead to know how far you are behind another car.

1 pointSame thoughts! In DR1 I listen to the pacenotes and thea are usefull! (Until you know all stages out of the box, but then it is the imersion and not anoying)

1 pointThe calls in this game are abysmal, and the fact that they simplified it even more so that n00bs could understand really ruins the immersion. There's zero use of the term acute, too many 1 Right (or Left) Tightens that are nothing more than hairpins, uses the term "caution" but never explains what to be cautious of, mentions of long turns that are not long at all, mentions "keep in" before jumps which should be called "6 over crest". What's worse of all is that there is no plus or minus use in this game. Bloody hell.
