Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong ?
Is this your own observation from actual game play? Have you tried the new pack on your PC?1.11.0 Changelog
- Porsche 962C Long Tail now has passive wastegate pressure map that permits user controlled overboost as a % of a turbo boost map. 0-9 keys
From my understanding on how boost % adjustment while driving with 0-9 keys and from Stefano explanation, I think this is what Stefano meant :
Basically what Stefano said is for this particular car, 962C, both the turbo controller "max boost" value ( my guess this should be under electronic setup tab ) and cockpit adjustment works/applies on the simulated wastegate.
The cockpit adjustment wastegate pressure map is passive ( my guess it uses the added wastegate controller electronic setup ini for this function to work ), in a sense that it's combined with turbo controller "max boost", which will allow the driver to overboost the car with cockpit adjustment by using the boost % keys ( the boost % key from my understanding, normally changed the wastegate pressure map/setting - actively, 10% is 10% of max wastegate spring pressure, and 80% is default/stock boost AFAIK - so practically you can "overboost" / raise the boost from stock )
In other words, for this specific car, the boost % key now adds "overboost" value, while the wastegate pressure map stays passive ( derived from the new electronic wastegate controller ini ). If the stock wastegate pressure is 1.4 Bar for 962C ( originally 80% on 8 key ), now with the 1.11 update, you may be able to adjust wastegate pressure map under electronic setup tab, and when you press 1 to 9 while in cockpit/driving, it adds higher max boost value to allow the 962C to overboost beyond 1.4 Bar ( as sort of multiplier ), so key 1 for example, may add 10% and so on, up to 9 which may yield over 2.6 Bar, the 0 key should reset to 1.4 Bar.
I think this arrangement is meant to allow simulating the qualifying overboost pressure with ease by using cockpit adjustment which the real car may have while still offering adjustment to the wastegate pressure map and "max boost" value. This should give more flexible range of boost pressure changes, eg with low "max boost", the driver can now dynamically increase max boost by using the 1-9 keys.
Also, originally the max boost value can never be exceeded), maybe this is what Stefano meant by the two don't mix well when a user sets low setting ( lower than default wastegate pressure - "cut" the boost )
I could be wrong though as it's based from my own observation
, so predictable.
Yes your correct,as I have not tried it on console. I don't have PC version,that's why I have not responded! Perhaps assumptions or actual game play of the game would carry more weight. Can I ask a question? What is your actual time playing AC? Give us your thoughts on the changes and updates so far.As I said in the post, from my understanding of the boost % adjustment in AC and Stefano explanation, hence I said that I could be wrong and if anyone here knows how it works on the car ( 962C LT back in previous version and the current updated change ) could correct me. I'm just offering my observation.
I knew you would quote me and said those
Difficult in which way(s)? I don't play with a controller, so I can't over an opinion if there is a difference in my mind. I'm just curious as to what you feel is different now when using the controller. I know they made those slight changes to TM10, so perhaps your muscle memory is sensing a difference? Again, I'm just grasping at straws here.
I think one of my problems with the GT40 has always been me over driving the car. After that first lap which probably had 3 or 4 spins, my next 3 laps were all spin-free, however, I feel like I am crawling along in the car. I will say that I've always thought the GT40 is deceptive. I feel like I'm puttering along and then I look down at my speedo and I'm doing 100mph as I'm turning into a corner! 
So, maybe I just need to spend an afternoon with the car because I still think on the whole it is a spin happy vehicle. I'm not saying his feelings are invalid. Obviously he truly does enjoy the car much more now. It's just funny how two people can look at the same thing and see something completely different from each other.
It was just released to PC today so it'll get to you guys at some point lol
I'm not sure I feel like it's much easier to lose it without doing anything different. It'll just snap into oversteer. Maybe it's just the 911 with its weird rear engine, I haven't tried any of the other cars today. I'll definitely try to do some testing tomorrow.
Yeah...Please let me know -- I get curious about these sorts of things.
I agree 100%. So far, those two cars are the best of the pack, for me, so far. I'm about to go tear some 🤬 up with the classic race cars...and then I'll try the 2016 Porsche 919 which I really didn't think we needed considering we have the 2015 and there are pretty much no other official LMP1 vehicles...or am I forgetting something?
First time getting behind the wheel of the '16 919, and good lord the steering is dangerously sharp (and precise).
Also, dat spin coming out of Ascari because I gently over-corrected..
This is a bit technical (at least for me I'll admit). Your best bet for a proper answer would be to ask Stefano or Aris on the official forum. If you haven't tried the game yet you really should. I think you might dig it.1.11.0 Changelog

Well for parts tuning he should get an Xbone for Forza then

What i meant was that he'd probably love setting the cars up too without going to the virtual shop for a dose of the 'fast and the furious'. You can tinker enough on the setup front especially with the race cars, and he seems quite geeky about that stuff too.
Sometimes you're overcomplicating things guys :D
Street tyres: Any good modern high performance summer street tyre. Anything you can find easily on your local tyre vendor.
Semislick tyres: Track oriented semislick tyres. Things like the original Toyo R888. NOT the latest R888R for example. Good trackday tyres, minimal tread.
Hypercar tyres: Those are special tyres, made specifically for the cars by the tyre manufacturers. They will have sufficient tread for rain and look like max performance summer tyres, but they also have custom compound for the cars and are stickier than a "normal" semislick. Usually they have more grip than a semislick, but wider slipangles because of the tread.
That's it.
V10 will keep the same names, and we will work heavily on their behaviour, heating, and handling.I find the wheel arches restricting spotting apexes quite terrifying in that video. It is bad enough with limited field of view between 50 and 60 on console then to tale on those chunky wheel arches.
I had to do what? Make an observation of something I haven't tried or actually played.
I'm not a big fan of the modern LeMans type cars, but the sound on this car is fantastic to my ears and I have to try it for that reason alone
