Scawen,
On the ABS discussion;
I think cars in same class should have the same ABS option (ie. XFG XRG) - also the XFG is likely to be the first car people drive (before they buy their G25 etc
) so they need easy braking that doesn't put them off.
Getting to the point, I think the only answer is to have two types of ABS:-
Type 1 - Simple ABS (low frequency, few channels, etc) - XFG / XRG (maybe TBO class). This should lengthen stopping distances but allow easy control. When people develop their driving and realise that it's quicker to turn it off and learn to brake, they will develop skills which will help them with the faster cars.
Type 2 - Advanced ABS - FZ5 / VWS. Sophisticated system for these higher end/newer cars.
Obviously you would have to change the threshhold braking lesson in some way (force the ABS off of change the car).
(Sorry for the rant - I am a regular reader but it's the first time I've felt compelled to comment. Also I know I am suggesting more coding but it seems you have a littlle more time now
).
