Alright so I figured since alot of racing events have cameras from helicoptors why not allow a spectator to have a helicoptor ingame? They could raise and lower to a certain position in the sky and not be able to mess with vehicles but be able to add to realisim. Plus in Citydriving they could use one for pursuiting "suspects" with a helicoptor. Also it could not just be limited to spectator. The host could decided weither they are on or off and who gets to use one.

Sure. Shift+U.

Im sure Ive seen views like that in a STCC broadcast...but I could be wrong. Good idea if there isnt that view.

As for running from cops in city streets and such, it begins and ends with the GTA series...lets leave it to Rockstar Games for that type of entertainment, lets just race with LFS.

Yes I know about that view already but when your in it no1 can see you.

I was just sugesting it add a helicoptor skin possibly to airal views like that for realisim.

It's a racing sim though.

How about a powerboat mode for Fern Bay, so you can watch the race from a powerboat? How about a choice between powerboat and hovercraft? How about horseback?

[sarcasim]Hmm....wait! I have a better idea! Lets make a track designer and editor that lets you make pitfalls for the nubs who cant drive the perfect line![/sarcasim]

lol.

They're actually thinking of adding deep pits to some F1 tracks to trap people like Tacuma Sato and get them out of everyones' way early ...

Hey, don't pick on Sato, man. He was the only entertaining driver for a whole season back when he was driving Dave Richards' Honda.

Now if the ground would open up and swallow nobodies like Fisichella, Trulli, Ralf & co. I'd be happy.

._.

That would be cool.. except:

-Lag.
-Lag.
-Helicopter better than racing?
-Lag.


But other than that, it would be fun anyways. I don't know why.

+1 for powerboat mode (joke )

Thats already possible also with shift+U in single player, there can you with this autocross editor make some layouts.
But a track designer to build new tracks will be nice, but its much work to build a track. It is not so easy because the grip and the unevenness. A Counter strike map is a lot easier to make.

I have no problem with adding thigns like a helicopter or boat for camera placement, as long as they weren't player controlled. Not only would it be an extra camera to watch from, it would add a little more to the environment.
I'd also like to see cameramen where the fixed cameras are now, which rotate as cars pass them, but that might be asking a bit much
