I keep hoping that FM will address some of the years-old issues and shortcomings of the game, no, they just keep adding more content with the sole objective of generating income! I understand that companies have to make money but surely they should find a way of doing that whilst also listening to their customers.

For years we have been telling them about issues with the throttle and brakes failing at the start of and/or during races ... still not fixed.

We have been asking then to give us the option to turn off the TT ghost ... still not there and, given that they did add some features to the ghost (e.g, brake lights now work), I now suspect that they’re never going to do this, apparently they’re so proud of their TT ghost that they refuse to accept that anybody would not want it!

We have been asking for a proper (optional) mirror. Still no mirror. But I did notice that in the forced driver mode for F1 cars we have mirrors, great I thought, until I realised that the mirrors don’t work properly, they show the track behind you but not the cars! The ONLY reason to have mirrors is to see the cars behind you, an absolute necessity in RR3 because as soon as you overtake them they come across and punt you off the track. By the way, this seems to be even worse in F1. So, as far as I’m concerned, this is the biggest fail of this update ... pointless mirrors.

The pointless mirrors highlight yet another years-old fail of this game, the complete lack of any kind of feedback, anything to tell you what the car is doing, as opposed to finding out (too late) what the car has already done AND to let you know that one of the bots is trying to push you off the track. I have suggested (at least) two methods of visibly giving us feedback of what the car is doing, they would not be hard to implement, but FM clearly can’t be bothered to give us a more realistic experience ... which is rather at odds with their ridiculous assertion that RR3 is the premier (F1) driving experience on mobile devices.

I keep hoping that the next update will include some or even just one of these improvements/fixes but the simple truth is that nearly 7 years later and NOTHING has been done to improve the game engine or driving experience, just more and more revenue-generating content.
