Hi!

Any chances for hot seat mode, where you have some number of players competing on one rally, racing in turns on each stage (as it was in e.g. CMR4 :) )?

Unlikely, but itty bitty changes to custom rally could support this. There already is a restart, so have the number of "restarts" be the number of players, and prompt the players by number, like coin-ops. Then instead of throwing away the result, put it in place of an AI time:

1 dune casu ...
2 player one ...
3 tatiana stopkevych ...
4 player two ...

I used to enjoy rally games since Colin McRae on the PS1, playing with friends and family on the same screen, together.

art of rally is awesome. Physics are arcady but still, so demanding and enjoyable. To me, a hot seat mode is really what is missing in this game. We can stil simulate this, by doing specials and writing times on paper, but we miss some elements like the assit park, managing the damages, ... and of course the convenience.

I know that game was release few years ago but having such a mode would really be the cherry on the cake, indeed.

When I saw an update today (1.5.7), I was really hoping to see a hot seat mode appearing ahah.
