Starting block: steering alert?
Posted: 05 Nov 2019, 12:28
Hi,
I recently started playing pad, and soon enough, I understood one of many pad players' complaints: starting a run with you car automatically tilting to the left/right. It's something that can usually be fixed by adapting the dead zone in your settings, nevertheless, one might want to keep this setting to a minimum since it's manageable during runs (without giving huge steering impacts while driving for example).
In the end, I was wondering if it were at all possible to think about adding a little "steering alert" while the player is waiting in the starting block? For example, it could be a very subtile light which lights up during the "3, 2, 1, GO!" countdown if the steering wheel isn't right in the middle.
I don't think it'd be too hard to implement, and it could avoid situations like Javiflyer failing a press forward start in the finals of a zrt's 2016 cup for example :]
Thanks for your consideration, and please comment if you think this is a reasonable request, or if you have anything to add.
Cheers.
Élie
