Does it matter? :\

If they're (planning) to implement rain and driver changes in future patches, there's nothing to say they won't add drivers arms... but it's hardly critical.

some things are important to some while not to others, it's just how it goes ;-)

They're normally the one's tagged as "arcade racers" Gui. We laugh at them.

This will be my last post on this, so I don't take it further off topic :P. Gav, how can it be arcade if a simulation is the one that's realistic - thus having the arms?

Yes it is a detail, but a major one in my view. GPL has it, and it even moves up if you want. I don't know about having the hand flicking someone off, but the arms are there.

The people are arcade racers, not the sims...

Realism is your own hands on your own wheel. If you don't have a wheel, then it's not a sim. If you don't have hands, then meh.

I don't need 2 extra 3D arms to make me feel like an octupus. It makes no difference to the feel of the game - it adds nothing.

if you want nice touches, play Simbin's games, if you want to race something with all the important stuff working properly play rfactor, as simple as that really :)

Arms are a minor point tbh. The main thing is the physics, and there great, so i dont see your point gui

arms dont really make the game anymore of a simulation yeah ( and dont make it anymore arcadey either) but they definitely add to the immersion.

It's exactly what I am saying, Dave and Gav, some people care about certain details while others don't. Karan used the word I didn't think of, immersion, that sums it up for me.

And I never mentioned physics, that's not a simple detail.

So... having 4 arms adds to the "immersion"?

Do you all drive with keyboards?

GPL has arms, but I couldn't care less if they weren't there. I have my own. I wouldn't miss them.

There's more pressing matters for the developers to sort out before such trivial matters are looked at.

Personally I like the arms in GPL, but I can live without them in other sims because I know nobody can make arms like that without pissing me off. I've seen the ones in F1C, and the drivers just look plain retarded ;-)

Karan, out of interest, why do you do all your screenies at dusk or night? Are you a vampire?
