Apologies. I assumed that since they had gone to the lengths to literally put in the notes for the DLC on the store that season pass holders should not purchase it, that it wouldn't need to be purchased lol. How did Kunos not only not provide the DLC to season pass holders for free, but also make a note in the paid DLC pack that season pass holders didn't have to buy it? SMH :lol:
 
Anyone got release notes?
From the official forum :

Tyre temps and pressure added and the red arrows in races are gone according to a post on the official site.
 
Great to hear there are more HUD indicators, but no looking left and right? This makes me somewhat sad. Not so much because it gives a better view of the surroundings, but it's the only way to appreciate the details that went into most of the interior modeling.

The revised controls are probably for the better, but I've spent some serious hours perfecting my DS4 settings to the point I was having a real blast using it. Oh well, back to testing I guess.
 
So after a few quick races, my thoughts:

-Audio is definitely better, at least on the cars I've tried. More meaty, opponents also sound noticeably better around you. This is great.
-Obviously the addition of tyre temps & pedal response on HUD is much-needed, so good stuff there.
-Haven't noticed much difference in AI behaviour but I did see one spin out where I'd never seen before so after that I did a test and hit one in the rear through a medium speed corner and sent him spinning out. That's also good to see. Need to do more races to see other tweaks.
-Something about the grip feels different. Can't put my finger on it but I assume it's a new tyre model, anyway, no complaints there, it still feels great to drive, just something is different and is noticeable.
-Lack of opponent arrow indicators not ideal, now that I'm used to them, but not the end of the world if missing, although as they were there before don't you think it would've made a lot more sense to simply give players the option to switch them on or off? Options are good!
-No look left/right also a little annoying, but sacrifices to the button layouts had to be made for the incoming MGU/KERS cars I suppose. Will learn to live without it as long as I don't keep getting tagged by the AI.

Other stuff still missing, notably HUD customization/layout/FOV/seat position etc.
Hopefully this stuff will be added in the future.
Decent patch, and the start of things to come.

EDIT: Forgot to say, that strobe-like effect the AI used to do with their brakes seems to be gone now. Awesome!

And then something unprecedented just happened. I gently brushed the rear of a car through a slow corner and where before that meant 100% the player was getting spun out, instead the AI spun out and not me. It's a revelation! :lol:

The damage seems lot more sensitive..
Turbo level selection fixed..
Sounds issues seems to be fixed (this afternoon i will try with headphones)

Only bad thing is that as season pass owner i can't try out the Porsches...(Only the panamera)
 
Can someone check the brake bias controls are working (up/down on D-Pad)? I tried 3 cars out on track and nothing happened. Not sure if I've randomly chosen 3 cars that have no onboard brake balance control (R8 LMS & 458 GT2 surely have this?). I can't remember.

Looking at the last pic, is "mirar a la derecha" not meaning look right ?

Yes.. they chanced all the mapping, you can indeed look to left and right..

So to everyone, go to settings screen and re-learn the new button layouts
 
Being able to look left & right is absolutely essential for clean racing, especially when competing against real opponents online. It's absolutely shocking to me that they've taken it away. An incredibly stupid decision indeed! Just give us custom button mapping already.

I won't miss the red arrows, but there should be the option of whehter we want them on or not. More options please!

:(

Looking forward to trying out the new tyre model & hearing the updated sounds.

:D
 
Only tried the panamera due to the issues at the moment and it feels really easy to drive, took it round the ring. Couldn't even throw the back end out.
Look left and right is still there and a new one: us wheel users finally get a horn.
(using g29, haven't changed the settings yet so it's a messed up)
 
The same exact thing happened on Steam for PC players. Porsche Pack was available for purchase, but it wasn't automatically downloading for Season Pass owners. It took about an hour or so before the issue got straightened out.
 
The season pass' access to the Porsche pack 1 is definitely fixed. I just tried the 718 Cayman S.

Edit: I haven't tried if I could select the G29 setting for my T300.
I'm just about to do that.

Can confirm it works on T300, and I think I actually prefer the layout. D Pad selects L/R. Obviously will run into difficulties with KERS cars but for now it seems ok.
 
Kunos said that the issue with the Porsche DLC for season pass owners should be fixed right now!

Yep, says free in the store now. Hilariously, it still says in the notes not to purchase if you bought the season pass :lol:

So basically they didn't learn their lesson lol.
 
Gym and lunch are finished and AC is updated and 'Porsched'. It is go time!

@Donnced I own the Season Pass and had no issue with downloading Porsche Pack Vol I. I went through the live area of Assetto Corsa and selected it there.

I hope you get sorted out soon.
Thanks, it's fixed for me also, after the post of Kunos saying that it's fixed i tried again and could download the DLC pack finally.

So that was a fast fix between Kunos and sony
