[*]Give league managers more flexibility in the schedule (Be able to restart/postpone/delay races themselves) - Is this even possible?
[*]Make the game HUD completely customisable. Let us move everything, or does the simple template have to remain in place?
[/list]

Umm, I had like 5 more suggestions in my head yesterday but I can't remember them at the moment. I'll post again if anything springs to mind.

I would like to see the abliity to add/subtract tracks from the scheduel. Maybe not go over the pre-set limit, but it'd be nice to take Monaco off the schduel right now and go to another track for a second date. I don't even attend the Monaco races as there is no reason to.

@Jason, like your ideas, good thinking. Be interetsing to see what other thoughts you have.

@Sean, had the same kind of thought, would be good to break a season into 3rds but customise the tracks list of the ones you want to use in what season.
EG: Season 1 - AUS, MAL, CHI, BAH & SPA Season 2 - MON, TUR, BRI, GER, HUN & EUR Season 3 - BEL, ITA, SIN, JAP, BRA & ABU

Id like to have the ? mark tabs, provide a little more info. EG: if you have given your driver X fuel, but at 1st stop they have some remaining, be able to see how much is left so you can adjust your fuel and pit stop better. Also have things explained better, like in the race the hud, is that L in the fuel area liters of fuel or laps of fuel?

I'd like to be able to change the calender around too, and yes, replace or remove tracks. That would have to wait until they add more tracks though I guess.

Changing the HUD would be good too, would be nice to have a bit more room to see the races, instead of the clog of windows i normally open.

We're investigating number 1.

About number 2:  Could you give me any specific examples of what you would like to be able to move around, and how?  You can hide/unhide the timings chart by pressing Tab.  You can open/close and drag all other windows around.  The only parts you can't move at all are the header and the two parts of the main control panel at the bottom.  I could fairly easily add an option to show/hide the control panel too if that's something you're after.  One other request I've had waiting to get done for a while is a control to let you resize the chat window.

Giving hosts the ability to postpone races is something we could do. But it's not as simple as just throwing it in, we'll need to give serious consideration to the consequences, and any limits we'll need to enforce on that power to ensure it isn't abused or doesn't disgruntle other users. The obvious choice then is to have a poll system, but then you're talking about an integrated poll/race postpone system that would need to be built from scratch. And then what seemed like a small idea starts to become a big development project.

The ability to restart a race is off the cards because that would be so easy to abuse. Someone might just keep restarting a race until they get the perfect outcome.

Again having custom schedules and more tracks is something we'd love to have, but it's a huge development task. I'd need to add a calendar building tool, and that has to have countless checks and balances to make sure the right number of races are entered, races not entered twice, sync everything with the right schedule and so on. In many ways the current 17 race schedule is hard-coded in to areas of the game, and all of those areas would need to be updated too. But this is something I'm certain we'll do eventually, when we have enough spare capacity for it.

Adding new tracks is a to do list, I've proposed several ideas towards Andrew at potiential tracks and what can be done to add them. Ideally, maximum of 20 races per season would be sensible though. Perhaps different tracks that can be added and removed or replaced is a good idea, but it'll be a little while until Andrew finishes his stuff on that front.

By completely customisable I was just meaning if we could move everything Andrew. I play from work 5 days of the week so I can't always use a full screen layout, so I end up shortening my window a bit so basically all I have is my cars tyres colours and my push level controls. When I do this I can't see the live timing board or my dot or anything of that nature. It would be cool if I could move the timing board and my tyre colour window over to my dot though, and make the window smaller so I have all 3 there.

Unless we had a third viewer ;) Small/compact version for those who run the game in the background haha ;)
