So last night, I noticed something: When I went into livery editor, I noticed only any liveries I shared for Race cars showed up (Except the GR.2 ones interestingly, which I know I shared plenty of). Not a single Road car livery showed up, which I shared tons of. Unsure as to why that is and if anyone else had that happen

When I did a custom race at Tokyo Expressway - East Counterclockwise, with the AI cars being used from the WTC 700 cars, except most of them had custom liveries of mine, the Ferrari 458 Italia Gr.4's livery I made didn't load and I had to reenter the race to fix the issue, the first time something like that happened to me I believe?

I didn't come into this thread today to post this, but I got blown away when wandering around the corner from where I live and I saw this beauty...

After seeing several McLarens, a brand new 911 GT3 (complete with massive Wang), a hideously tuned and modified Urus and at least 3 Huracáns, I think it's time I re-evaluated what reality I expect from my local neighborhood...

(The Spyder takes the biscuit though, and there was a Chiron parked in the same spot last week)

I'm currently fastest in the world for the pit in or stay out mission at Tsukuba. With the new physics making tire wear worse the Escudo isn't the dominant car anymore. It's the engine swapped Jimny with an Escudo livery.

The tune is at the end and weather seems to be random each attempt so between someone managing tire wear better and getting more luck with weather I'm sure people will beat my time.

It's lovely to see someone really taking the new physics to the test room and hammering out the SP content which I'd imagine most have completed a very long time ago... I really wish PD would sweeten any fundamental gameplay changes by resetting our progress and letting us win the completion rewards for that part of the game over again.

It's basically a new ballgame anyway, right!
 
Can't say for certain yet that it will be fixed. It's like when they were trying to fix the performance point calculation exploits. Someone might find a new way to do it after the patch still

Pardon my stupidity, but I just now found out that one of the custom vehicles I made (if equipped with Racing Tires) now pits for rain tires. Has it always been like this, and I didn't realize they actually pit in instead of ignoring it regardless of how wet the track is?

(Photo in question: Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAM '20, the car doesn't come with Racing Tires stock but I fitted them on, and they are actually using one of the rain tires)

why this figure in particular ? if you know.

2^32 / 1000

2^32 is the maximum value of a number in most software by default, as it's the biggest thing that fits in 4 bytes. Going over this maximum usually causes the number to reset to 0.
GT7 probably measures collector points as fractions of a thousandth, which is why it's divided by 1000.

Whenever you see something break in software around 4.3 million/billion (or 2.15 in case the number supports negative values) this is usually the reason.

I broke the level limit now its going back in time. :lol:


The collector points got to around 4.3M before this started to happening.

Game is losing the count! 🤣 I wonder if the game will go into negative levels too!

yep, I was thinking about something like that but when I looked up the max integer for 32bit, I found 4 billions, did not thought about dividing by 1000 😅
 
Never understood where people even got that idea in the first place.

Quite like this camera view they've been using for incident investigation replays. Reminds me of a similar one iRacing has.
Would be neat to have this one available in-game for spectate mode.

I like it too! It's just a shame it's another case of the several exclusive camera angles from the GTWS events that Polyphony refuses to give to us ordinary players for whatever reason. That rotating camera on the roof is also a classic one already that we apparently won't get because it's been around for a looong time and... still nothing.

I will personally travel to Japan and deliver a letter to Polyphony HQ begging them to put the Nürbugring Tourist Layout in Online Lobbies with Free Run. It's so baffling to see that you can only use it on Time Trials, and it's even worse to see they didn't put it in the Paddock mode :confused:

Touristenfahrten lobbies were my favorite thing in GT Sport, and I'm tired of seeing this layout rotting away when you can easily make it work.

Please Polyphony, please :bowdown:
