*** PART TWO ***


*** New. Subcription offers. ***


I see these extras as a way of delevoping quicker without having huge advantages when it comes to the main event.

A level 8 Free to play member should be able to take on and beat a level 8 subscribed member.

The difference should be that by the time the F2P member has hit level 9, the subscription member should be level 10 or higher.

Also a way of getting the best results you possibly can squeeze out of the game




Extra Bonus content to be added to the game.

Again some for Q3 and the others for Q4 or longer if needed.

Most of these updates should be seen by the F2P to temp them into getting a subsctiption as often as they can afford it.

Either now and then or each and every single month and will still benefit 1 year contracts.





Specialised Leagues.

* From 100% Dry stepping down to random and through to 100% Wet weather in 25% changes. 0 = Random.

* The main weather system for all users would be used when they select random. F2P can only use random as well as the other regulations.

* It is a kind of gimik, but one full wet season in ever 10 could be a laugh. esp if they add more chance of accidents in wet races.




Design double bonus. (or a set stage % Bonus if it works out far to high)

* Between 1 and 20% extra devlopment on each part. (Dependant of original %)

* If you're F2P and would get 15% devlopment on a part that was 1 to 15%, you would get 30%.. This will help keep your car at a more competitive % from season to season.

* This will encourage 1st time people to pay into the game to be some what competitive from the very 1st week in design.

* The more you pay into this game per month / year and so on, the more you would be able to be like the McLarrens, Ferraris and Red Bulls.

* It also allows someone who isn't as competitive the insentive to pay into it so they can at least be up with the top members for a month or 2.

* It's trying to get a balace that Subscribers get a better design % at the start of the new season, but not to much so F2P and other Subscribers have the chance of getting points and wins from the half way point in the season



2 extra sets of practice laps & Weekly set ups.

This is an trying to simulation/represent the friday P1 & 2 and saturday P3 free practice sessions.


* You will have an extra 2 practice sessions to be taken at certain times set by the start of your race. (F2P get the standard 5 runs, equivalent of the Saturday morning before Qually.)

* You will be able to set 7 days worth of practice 1. This will close 48 hrs before the race and practice 2 will open until 24 hrs when practice 3 opens.

* For every day racing, If your race starts at 8pm GMT, you will be able to have 1st practice access for 1 week. but P2 opens at 8pm 2 days before the race starts, P3 opens 8pm the day before. Normal lock down 30 mins befor the race.

* If you are an everyday racer, you will be able to set up 1st practice for an entire 7 days and 2nd practice for at least a couple.

* Practice 2 and 3 will stay the same 48hr rule, but at least you can have 5 runs.

* This will also allow the testing of hard tyres to sort tyres and run different fule ammounts.


*** This concept maybe made easier and any feedback would be appreciated. ***




Dule button lock in 2D (Not for F2P.)


During a race, others things can be happening around you, or you have 2 accounts / 2 screens open, monitoring / chatting to other members in both. You look back to one of your driver and your bright red or you stone cold blue.

* The ability to lock two of the connecting action in the drivers pannel.

* As alot of races vary between two actions of holding for a few laps and then pushing for 1 or two to reheat the tyres.

* F2P Backing off, Taking it easy, holding, pushing and pushing hard.

* Subscribed can Lock -  Backing off and taking it easy / taking it easy and holinding, all the way up to Pushing and pushing hard.

* This won't change the ones who want to make little pushes to close the gap or to gain more time over them using it.

* It will be a nice function to the ones who chat during a busy race and have other distractions.



Added Stats.

* Each driver has their own stats page, that can only be accessed by subs.

* Most wins on what track(s)

* Fastest laps on the top 5 tracks.

* Tracks not won at.

* More detailed history on many types of stats.

* Ranging from the quickest set up used / Lap times and dates to the quickest set ups ( Completed race times.) with times for wets / softs / hards one that have completed a stint on each.

* This whole section will be locked to paying members only.

* Feed back on other stats you would like to see would be great.




*** Added flash for Subscription. ***


Q3, 4 or possibly 5 to see a basic version of some of these and more advanced versions later on.

(Each area of flash will be seen as advertisment space that will only change with subsctiption.)


An extra function where you see your team and it's changes of growth in an Sim City style image.

* This will have slots around the main base where you build and grow your team and be able to set all the facilities requirements. The buldings will change as per level of growth.

* Each building you click on could take you to a nice image of what it might look like inside that facility.

* Some animation would be nice, again Q3, Q4, Q5, Q10 and beyond updates.



A set-up guide to each track.

* At first an image with written information about the track and what kind of downforce, fule info, pit times from entry to exit averages and more, then later updated to a more advanced flash with an animated fly over guid with a voice over.

* Basic version could be added once the more advanced version is installed. (Q15. idk)




 


Action camera shots.

This is an idea you can have for free. lol

Adding some camera buttons to certain famous corners on each track of the 2D. This can only be opened by the subscriber, but it can be seen to the F2P side, again temping members.

This will be uploaded to your profile where you get an image of your car going through a certain corner of your choice, then you can set it as your main avatar or teams home page.

The basics can be set up and then devloped over time with possile input of artwork by some of the comunity who might want to help design.

* User gives up the rights for the artwork to be used by iGP.



Subscription forums access.

A section of the forums where you will get faster responce from the Admin and Developers about the game.

Have a little more say over the others on how they would like to see game developed and any ideas for updates.

Leagues will be able post and get other subscribers easier and make finding the leagues you want.

League will also have the access to lock their leagues and put the pass words out to other subscribers.

*** Again, any feedback of what you would like to see in a premium account would be appreciated.***


 


Extra Content.


More sponcership. 2 sponcer slots added to generate more money.



Full race bonus money for subscribers and 75% bonus for F2P.



1 level more in the offices. At current, it is a max of 200 support staff in the office, with subs you will get 250, these can be used in Commerce and other new areas in the game. Demotes back to 200.




*** Again. Please say if you like any or all of these ideas and try to be as constuctive as possible if you dissagree with others. ***

Erm I am no moderator but could you please move this topic into your previous topic, tidy it up a bit and not do this anymore? Being presentable on the forum goes a long way to getting suggestions considered. I wouldn't for one read this.

Also with a quick skim-read, I can point out that pretty much all of your suggestions have been suggested before, most on multiple times in active threads, some are even announced to be added in a few weeks.

There are 3 lots of updates. There is a post for the subscribed & F2P members as well.

This is for the Paid accounts.

Have a look for my 3rd post and it will make sense.

Great ideas maybe not the best way to post on a forum..... But with the devs (saying this without offending) being as small as they are ie say like codemasters, if they promise anything like in this list and they dont deliver, thats going against their word. Which is a bad thing to do with a community.

However alot of the issues you have been put up have already been disscused on the forum, see in bold.

Also with the tyrewear, I run a 50% league and seem to think they tyres are well programmed softs for 4-5 laps with good lap time, or hards with 10-12 good lap times but the downside of hards is you have to have quite a bit of fuel so if anything the heavy fuel vs light fuel needs to be looked at.. And with the temps as they are atm the hard tyres are sometimes the best to start with..... So not too sure what your complaint is... maybe its a marmite thing.

What about the simple option for subscribers to few the race results of your races (like you want to see how you did on the next track last season), including the weather. So you know what temperature it was (if it was sunny or rain and how much rain), and including the push setting per lap.
That would be a help. And if non subscribers want to have this too, they need to set all their own in an excel sheet.
That means it’s not an advantage to have this, but a tool to make life easier.

Liked rene.  Subscribers should have its life more easy, not a advantage (equal ground is the key here, the moment a F2P player feel its getting worse results because of a mechanic he needs to pay he will start losing interest in the game, even if the mechanic dont give a real advantage the key is perception).

but a lot of F2P members don´t care if they have to work harder to get the same results.   

And thinking a little things like rene sugested will make subscriber life easy and more fun (like the 2D). F2P will have to work a little harder there to save its data and stay competitive.  

You win more subscribers because the number of F2P players enjoying the game will increase, and they will pay to get the easy life. 

Of course the game team is always going to have much more demands they can work too.  Thats why a priority list is necessary, but for me a way to keep subscribers and at same time put F2P players in equal ground (if they work harder) is kind of top priority.  

a F2P player can invite another that invite another and some of them will pay to have the extra stuff, but subscribers also need those players, they are the friends you like to play with or the people that make your league full and fun to watch.

I know what you mean. I have these kind of things for each and every single track I race on. I'm paid as well, but still have all this written down.



*Details have been taken out*

Track name. (Fuel amounts from fully backing off to fully pushing.)

Each have details on softs / hards and wet tyre info.

Down force levels - **/10 S/H/W

Overtaking - **/10 S/H/W

Surface elevations - **/10 S/H/W

Fuel consumption - **/10 S/H/W

Tyre wear - **/10 S/H/W

Back up set up's S/H/W

(Wilson)
Wet setup. **/**/**/**/**/**/**
Dry Setup. **/**/**/**/**/**/**


Notes.Pit lane - Shot / med / long. Average pit time.

I've left these in

Tyres Softs - Mainly Fully backing off with laps of Taking it easy (20 Degs C +)
Tyres Hards - Holding and pushing. (20 Degs C +)


Fastest lap - Soft / Hards.

_________________________________________________________________



I have all these down on a note pad for each track. So to be honest. I don't even need to 2D any more. I just pay it to help the developers.

You can always see last years results and also take an average fuel amount from the info, but you can't see when you was pushing or backing off and you can't see the temps or the weather in full. So yeah. That's a nice added point.
