Can I just say thank you to IGP for updating the flags. I have campaigned for years to get more flags introduced instead of just being a white background. Finally they are listening to what is honest game players are asking for.

Windmills next please

Thank you for your campaign for better flags. Given the enthusiasm for flags and 3D, the next update and our highest priority is to make 3D flags. The team are meticulously animating them flapping in the wind as we speak. That wind is, of course, being generated by a 3D windmill.

Now all you need to do is get the swiss flag right ??

Not in hall of fame, looks stupidly little compared to the rest (nr 55 in world hall of fame) and not centered.

Also on transfer overview, league tab, …

I think for the moment it’s more than enough ?

I think it’s not but I guess you’re the one deciding. Anyway, if you really look closely, it’s not even a white cross, can’t put my finger on it but it’s not a perfect cross

I've centered the Swiss flag properly now.

Can we have flags on the windmills please. Preferably in 3D ?

Why are flags your highest priority? What about all the performance and stability issues, the unplayable browser version (that was supposed to be fixed in september), bugs, tire balancing etc.? Im not trying to be rude, but why flags out of all things?
I really appreciate what youre doing, but that just doesnt make sense to me.

I'm going to begin to explain Humour to you (I'm sure you know about it), but I will explain that a while ago (and still now ??) many iGP players chose glorious windmills over the hideous turbines and their puppet, the evil master of forums, Trujillo. So now windmills are an iGP thing that the Devs stubbornly refuse to actually put in the game ??

I only support windmills if there’s a Swiss flag on them ?

I didnt say anything about windmills at all. I understand that was a joke. Did u even read my comment? Look into the bugs section, the game is full of bugs and issues. I cant even write a forum or league post without the app crashing every time. In every race i have to restart the app multiple times because of some bug. Browser version is unplayable and was promised to be fixed in september. Hard tires are still useless. Tall drivers are still broken and overpowered. Slow second driver bug has still not even be acknowledged. Yet flags and 3D stuff that takes a ton of time and doesnt add to the gameplay or fixes anything are being prioritised and all of you act like its a necessary addition.

Also thank you for burrying my serious, game related question under your jokes.

if you have game concerns you shouldn’t post them in an off topic thread which is clearly meant as a joke (and yes that includes the references to 3d flags as well!) ?

Sorry mate, was just pointing out it wasn't a serious thread, flags are in fact not their top priority and was attempting to put some context into what was going on for those who didn't know. However:

Have you tried clearing cache?
It's actually the second driver who is faster it's believed this is because driver one qualifies on PL5 automatically
Tyres are in the process of being rebalanced with some of the best managers in the game working ok it
I believe (though I'm not on any special position to know) that a further stability update is in an upcoming if not the very next one (I'm sure someone mentioned it at some point)

Hope you appreciate how such a small studio have made such an amazing, if infuriating and occasionally #iGPlogic, game :)

Are you saying that Jack was only joking when he said flags were the highest priority. Please tell me this is not true.

I will not stop campaigning until we have windmill flags flying above spinning windmills in 3D.

Also can we please stop taking this thread off of serious important topics such as flags/windmills.

No don't worry I'm just pacifying the anti-windmillers
Flags need windmills to power them, they will take over eventually ??

There will be news soon and in a recent post outside this thread I did apologise for the radio silence as of late. Let's clear this up: Addressing empty names and flags could go live straight away, so it did. All the other stuff we're working on is going to have a complex release schedule and rollout that might require maintenance windows, that's why they need more time. The sarcastic post above was poking fun at this discussion before it even happened, precisely because we're aware of the real priorities, and the perception. Though we don't always say it, you don't need to worry about that or try to bring it to our attention.

The last 6 months have been all about stabilising and adapting to the new platform, work which culminates in the next update. It was a longer process than we had anticipated, and the next 6 months are going to be all about gameplay updates. There will be a couple in the next app update and then more following soon afterwards. The rate of change is likely to be very fast from mid-October until the end of the year.

EDIT: Behind closed doors there was also a restructuring of the team in the last month, which added some further delays to our schedule but which should pay dividends in the long run. The structure we have now should result in much more consistent quality.

Addressing empty names and flags could go live straight away, so it did.

Just curious, why were empty names accounts forced to have names?... and not so nice names at that, i mean i saw Don Key on one ... Is wanting to be a ghost against any TOS?

I took some time to read your TOS again and as far as I know, empty names didn't break any.

Just curious, why were empty names accounts forced to have names? [..] i mean i saw Don Key on one ...

There was nothing to that other than my sense of humor. All the managers who did it were renamed to "Ivanna Name", and their staff were given names like the one above. Only half a dozen or so people were actually doing it, it wasn't widespread.

It's also clear that we don't want anyone to do that because when you try to enter an empty name it throws an error. They went out of their way to copy/paste special symbols in and knew it was a loophole. It exists in other games too, and was probably ported over from games like Among Us, where I'm told the same trick works.
