-1 for Martini
+1 for the 1995 SWRT Group A Impreza livery. That's never been in any Codies game for that car.

(If it was the 2015 R4 Impreza, he would be 100% sure it had never been featured)

as a special unlock you get gymkhana with the 22b :D

A special event where you have a battle with other player and you shoot chickens from your car!

You said Gymkahna and 22B (wrong name) in the same post, A puppy just died for that post. :dizzy:

Something I noticed in TOCA 3 during Rally events is that the handling suits rallying as it suits circuit racing as well. CMR2005 didn't really have such handling and it was quite floaty and sideways compared to that of TOCA 3 which is at least grippy and adequate to circuit racing. If only CMR2005 had such handling with suitably tweeked properties for gravel, tarmac and snowy surfaces.

As you may see below, the car runs pretty stable and adequately the least on mixed surface; Moreover, the car seemed like to be running on circuit during replay, it didn't seem to be affected by the surface at all because of its flatness. Perhaps, this is the handling and that of GAS that were induced in DR.

Could be a hotseat mode, although i doubt it.
also i doubt it's any skin because it has never been featured in Dirt ever.

It could be a co-driver mode.. since Paul is a Co-driver himself and he said he wanted it in the game.

Please go back a page, it's going to be an official livery/skin.

We are fixing bugs and we are bringing these together into one big update rather than delivering them in bits and pieces. I understand your frustration but I can assure you that we have not abandoned PC in order to release console. 

@KickUp Are stage/map optimizations being looked at (for PC)? I haven't checked other locations, but something doesn't seem right with Germany. I can lower settings in benchmark mode and the numbers will reflect those settings, they'll be higher. Where as in Germany, lowering settings means pretty much the same FPS or even slightly lower. Yes, I'm restarting the game between setting changes

We are looking at performance across the game.

hello paul

for the future if i can give you a suggestion  try  to select  and hold the codriver voices better.  

and try to take people who have a neutral speak  and not  those southitalian accent  (calabria/sicily.etc.)

i switched on german because of that (i'm italian but my mother is german= i know 3languages :D ) , and german too has  two different voices, and sometimes  near the end of the stages   the last corners are spelled by you in english :)

Something similar happens in Spanish, at Sweden, in one stage, the last corner is spelled in english

If you can tell me the exact stages these happen on I can check that we are fixing them in the next update.

sweden & finland,    for the exact tracks i must look better i don't remember, maybe if all other will help me find the exact points, that would be awesome :)

p.s:  for the different voices @Hatward tells me that the first italian voice og the game was no more available,so now  finland and sweden have an other  (booooring) voice..  that why i give you my two cents above ;)


edit: i remember the stage with the last corners in english  has a  2left  and the a 3right at the end, don't remember the name  (so complex names :D )

Yeah, in spanish there are two different co-drivers. First one is better. What annoys me is that in the new stages the countdown and finish is made by one and the pace notes by the other.

100% exactly  the same in italian  :dizzy: 

but in italian the fist voice isn't available anymore, so they put a new voice :S

They are supposed to be getting rerecorded by one person. I know things were tight for Sweden but if we know which ones have the issues then we can target where to fix them.

you can make one voice (the first-in italian) for all stages??????     so,   finland and sweden have the new (ugly voice).  all stages

It makes me wonder if there is any quality control at Codemasters. Bugs here and there, and now these co-driver issues. If there is a vacancy I am more than happy to help (my co-driver mod is checked thoroughly before release) :wink:

More likely that the old voice will be replaced by the new one.

There is Quality Control but very few (if any) are a rally specialist. We have a limited amount of foreign language testers and the codriver audio is a huge volume of work that was included very late in the day hence why these issues are present in the current game. I can only apologise for them existing and we are fixing what we can. 
I personally check the English codriver calls because I write them with Jon Tucker and then record them. The foreign language calls are recorded separately and then checked by our testers. Sadly the only rally specialists that use them are you guys which is why it is really important that you tell us when things are wrong.
