RoR Update idea?

I feel like everyone here can agree with me in RoR there's just no noise apart from cars, there's no environmental noise, for me if there was a bit more environmental noise or more background noise I would and others would honestly like RoR a lot more. It just feels bare with no other noise you know what I mean? it’s not as engaging compared to let’s say Minecraft, because there's background noise and footsteps noise.

Now the next thing is what is going on with the servers seriously there's 3 people on average on one server, the rest are dead. The most people I've ever seen in a server is 8 yes 8
where is everyone, and also making a server should not be as hard as it is, there should be an add server button that runs straight of LAN. And you just make the server and your friends join.

And there's no NPCs? why not add NPCs/ai traffic to the game, it would be so much more fun with NPCs that you can run over and crash into.

Also, there's no handbrake button, there's a park brake but you can’t use that to drift can you, see go try it I know it’s not going to work, oh well just get a better car NO, there needs to be a hydraulic handbrake button, that auto releases once the key is not being held any more.

And that's all I have to say thanks everyone for listening to me rambling on and on about this and that, I really hope a developer or someone important in making changes to RoR will reach this because this would be a life changer if any of this made it to the game for me and also a lot of other people too would be very happy.

Some maps already do that by adding empty actors that play a sound. Better approaches are probably possible with scripting.

Should be possible with scripting, though performance would probably be quite bad.

Maybe an option to use a car already spawned as AI or have presets to chase after a specific car instead of whoever it sees?

Also the AI Speed seems to cap itself at 30mph or slow down lots of turning or reaching close points, and its headlights flicker, once it reaches you, it sorta stalls and the lights all flickr weird, definitely needs some work. Also an odd reason, AI-Cars are more laggy than the player's spawned cars and it seems to ignore waypoints, often crashing very weird?

Still can be used plenty fine for drifting, remap it from P to the Spacebar with just two button presses and it's much easier even without the press and hold option.

Also cant the Burnside Race and Bandit Extreme Drift? very easily

The Burnside Race for a RWD car is very good, but difficult to drive. The Bandit being AWD makes it much easier to start with since you can just keep it mostly in one gear and just turn and throttle.

the servers being nearly empty comes from players moving to other games like beamng, i mean RoR IS about 20 years old or so its more "niche"
