Puntos a favor el pedazo mapa , y que puedes guardar en cualquier punto de la etapa.

See you in the Dunes!

1. Remove the movement of the inner camera
We believe you mean the left/right movement of the cockpit camera correct?
If you don't touch the mouse, it wont move. That's the issue?

2. Can remove the pilot and steering wheel
Already in development. Will arrive soon.

3. To get a little closer to the FOV of the inner camera
We already had that option but due to the Open World LOD streaming issues we had to avoid that option. It was a technical decision because this is NOT a track based game, its a huge Open World. Nevertheless, that is one of our next R&D for Dakar19.

4. 200 competitors
We implemented 44 official teams with around 70 pilots/co-pilots on Dakar18.
For Dakar19 its expected to grow from 44 to near 70 teams. Distributed by all categories.
That's already a Huge Plan for next year!

5. North Africa
This is the Official Dakar Rally game and our license is to replicate what happen on Dakar Rally. The organization define the place, the Road Books, the Teams and we focus on simulate in the videogame the Rally.
Nevertheless BIGMOON should bring a big announcement during 2019 that may cover that topic.

5. 20 stages
On Dakar18 you have 14 stages. The same as the official Dakar Rally 2018.
It seems you want more... and we want to provide more... stay tuned... great news are coming before Christmas!

6. 1.3 maximum scale
We use a 1:32 world map scale. What I suppose it's around what you mean of "1.3". We dont use 1.4. Nevertheless this is something we will not change for Dakar18, and Dakar19 should be similar scale. However we are currently in tests with the evolution of our Open World for Dakar19.

7. Save the choosen camera settings to keep when you return to the game.
Already in development. Will arrive soon.

We are releasing the ninth update, with the content update focused on improve the gameplay experience.
In addition, we have included many other improvements and fixes from reported issues.
