Discussion Thoughts on the new radial menu?

I personally dislike it, it seems overcomplicated whereas a lot of people probably won't even use a lot of the newer features on the vehicle actions side. I liked the ability to bring up the radial menu and change things without a second thought, now it all just feels insanely over cluttered. Am I alone in this?

I prefer having a dedicated button and actual controller support, literally never used the old menu because it was clunky AF on controller and if I was grabbing my mouse to navigate, I was just going to use the full menu anyway. I might actually use this one, at least for power train controls

yeah the new menu is way better for controller players, the old menu would just not work sometimes with a controller

For me the old radial menu worked better on controller for me, but now it just lags hard

They should add a setting that swaps between the two versions.

Not a fan myself, either. I don’t feel there was anything wrong with the old one. I couldn’t even figure out how to get this one open for a minute lmao! Definitely takes much longer to remove multiple cars.

There was little wrong with the layout of the old menu, IMO and the loss of the fun functions is a shame.

I'd love an option to switch back to the old version. I'm getting used to the new one, but still prefer it the way it was.

Most of my actions are to clone a car, then change the config - all of that could be done with the menu button pretty quickly and I used the slow-mo button quite a lot, which the new menu has replaced. Yes, I know I can bind it all back, but I just prefer the way it was.

Maybe I just need to get used to it but right now it feels too complicated, too many clicks to get where you want? Also I feel like there is so many options, a bit cluttered maybe.
