It may have been mentioned before and I apologise if it has, but are there plans/ would it be possible to release the game as a download or disc copy?
Features could include:
• Full F1 season (tracks/ drivers & cars depending on the release date. Fake names)
• Feeder series for scouting various drivers
• Editor function for editing names, cars, sponsors, pictures etc. Fully customizable game
• Ability to play whenever you want
• Livery feature
• 2D features for all
• 2D qualifying
• More in depth design, sponsors, finances, driver training etc
• Multiple saves allowed for various careers
• Driver happiness/ morale within the team
Other various features could be included/ released
With an editor feature the IGP community could then release various downloadable patches for the game. These could include various different sponsors with real pictures, different tire/ engine manufacturers. People could also make various seasons from the past such as 1989 with Senna & Prost or a 60's version with Moss, Hill & co.
Of course this is just an idea as there is currently a gap in the market and no obvious filler available.
And also you could keep your online version for the people who still want it.
