No, but nearly noone complained about the old tmu graphics (which could be nice if you had a monster of pc :) )
Just because the gameplay was great :D

You didn't need a monster of a PC to run TMU (heck, even TMS) at high settings, cuz I can do it on my current laptop which is at least 2 years behind the current-gen...and in computer terms, that's OOOOOLD :shock: And even at lower settings, TM looked and looks gorgeous. Anyway, before this gets too off-topic, I'm going to ask why airbrake is necessary? I understand the arguments, and even appreciate its use in the old TM games. But its absence, to me, adds a refreshing challenge, both in map-making and in racing. You can't get too crazy with either, because some fancy flight-sim-esque controls aren't going to save you this time around.

In POD ('96) you could actually steer in the air, although your turning radius was gigantic.

Why not bring that back?

I liked the airbrake function, and at first, I wanted it back. But as many people say here, it actually requires more skill if it's not there. And I think it's more fun the harder the game is, (as long as it's not impossible ^^)

I think it's good as it is, without the airbrake :)

Come on, there isn't only racing "skill" mode in TM!
It's very bothering without airbrake in some STUNT mode!

Bring it back.

edit:
Sorry, I didn't mean the real "stunt mode"...I mean when you need to do stunts like flips, or just finishing some puzzle maps.
Indeed, there are some playing TM for speed/skill, but others just for the variety of tracks.

1. Stunt mode won't officially be included as only 0.6% of people play Stunt Mode and Nadeo has to concentrate on 3 not finished games already.
2. Airbrake is necessary if there are buglandings. So far I haven't seen any buglanding so airbraking is not 100% necessary.

I don't like that idea, because Airbreak would make the game less realistic. ;)

Bis auf die Grafik, was ist an TM bitte schön realistisch? GTA IV ist halbwegs realistisch. TM ist aber 100% Spaß mit nicht 100%igem Bezug zum Realismus.

Except for the graphics which part of TM is realistic? GTA IV is more or less realistic. But TM is 100% fun with not directly 100% realism.

Die Umgebung?? Die Wolken, die Straße, sämtliche Berge usw.
Das CanyonCar ist eher der unrealistische Teil.

The environment?? The clouds, the street, mountains, cliffs and more...
The CanyonCar is rather the unrealistic part.
