Yes, I absolutely agree. And I think it should be visible in the "forces" view as well.
I always played Viper Racing from the suspension view, a really great way to see what the car is doing and how well the front suspension setup is working
I also play LFS from the wheels view, for similar reasons. I use a small analogue joystick instead of my Momo, so I need very accurate visual feedback since I don't get any FFB. If I can't feel the front tires, at least I can see them
I would say the rally stages are a "+" item, not "-". Although I suppose there's nothing official information yet, hasn't one of the devs mentioned plans about making a rally pack after S2 is finished?
