basiclly, yeah. look at anything you want in real life. automating something limits it in many ways. just like at cars. manual gear has the potential to be much faster then automatic, but only in the right hands. give a new guy a manual car and he will need lots of practice to even keep up with automatics. give a race car driver the same car, he will beat all those guys with automatics. manual is also much better on sand or snow because you can give the engine more power.

I want manual transmissions.

Those arent too hard to learn, but still take a lil bit to master.

I can only drive a manual when I am physically driving a car. When I am playing a video game I just can't stand it because shifting to me is all about the feel of the car and the acceleration compared to the sound of the engine. Plus you can't reproduce the stick without a lot of money, and that's most of the fun.

how about an option between manual and automatic, and also between left and right hand driving... when you spawn the vehicle

i would like to see harder driving and more skills to master but think of all the more code, bringing more bugs. so if they do make driveing harder or give you more options with your vehicals great. and if they dont i don have a big problem with it.

The gears are already there, we just simply can't tell that they are.

The engine is capable of more advanced physics, the devs just didnt use them.

Left vs Right side drive is a matter of graphics. If they added that, I think they should make the 'empty' side a passenger (as in no gun).

Transfer cases and Transmissions should be something you configure either as a cert (have a cert tree for each option) or something you do like a vehicle favorite.

I would like it to be basically easy vs hard. Automatic vs Manual. 4x4 vs 4x2. Hell even a choice between a diesel and a gasoline engine would rock (powerful vs fast).

Is having left/right hand drive really worth the effort they'd need to put in to make it happen?

Define "the other way round" in animation, coding and modeling terms and you might find it's a little more difficult than just turning it the other way round.

It isn't worth time time it would take to do it.

The Devs already said they are thinking about doing something to allow br20's to do something like get advanced physics into their planes and such.

And the Devs do use their [hysics engine. If you turn it on you will notice that people will actually fly into the air if you kill them in mid jump. And tanks will actually do rollovers and stuff.

if you buy me a brand new PC and all the software i'll do it in ten seconds...
:P:P:P

well in graphics all you ought to have to do is mirror it, i wouldn't know about coding, but it'd be cool...

Well, the elite abilities are gonna let pilots do barrel rolls and such, I don't think that manual transmission would be a terrible thing to have.

Driving isn't easy, flying is. When you drive, espacally in a atv and going maybe about 50%, hit the button to turn left alittle, you freakin make like a 90 degree turn. Going on a bridge is hell just because you cant get the damn car to go strait or get to one side of the bridge. Tanks aren't included in this, for turning with them is much more easier.
