Tyre and fuel on 1x everything else on real. Pro AI.
Tire and fuel use might be at play. Also even within Pro I believe there is still variety in the skill given to AI drivers with the lead car meant to be the best on the grid.
 
Soooo......no maintenance this morning which means we have to wait til next week at the earliest and HOPE that they push out a patch that gives us some of the things they're promising? Wow, was really hoping we'd get a patch for at least the credit limit increase to 100M

They were saying that the patch will come in the beginning of April-which to my understanding is somewhen within the first third of the month...
 
I can’t remember the last time they skipped a weekly server maintenance in gt7 or gts. My guess would be more content is coming next week.
 
Doing the final championship series is wild with the Super Formula. The last lap at Bathurst and the first lap at Nurburgring in the dark with no headlights tests your knowledge of the track. The infinite contrast ratio on my OLED TV helps but it's still damn dark.

I personally received the 500.000 cr gold bars with a 4 star ticket for daily workout. Just did the usual grinding with the Trial Mountain Cup
I got the 500k twice on my primary account along with the 1,000,000 jackpot before Kaz's gift to us. My alternate account got the 500k and last night the Mustang GT350. GT7 must have been feeling bad for giving me the Taycan chassis refresh and and BMW i3.
 
What pattern did you discover?
As far as I remember, all of the updates so far have been Thursday night or Friday morning, depending on where you are. Thursday night was not April and assuming they stick with the Thu/Fri schedule, anything other than this time next week is not early April.
 
I'm traveling tomorrow morning for a few days so I suppose it's good the update doesn't come until next week. I'm maxed out at 20M credits and am ready for the limit to be removed. I'm at 309 cars collected (no duplicates included) and am sure I need to grind another 80-100M more to get all the cars. And that's BEFORE any DLC or add-ons.
 
This morning I bought the V6 Clio and played around with various cars on the Nordschleife for a couple of hours. Got £5k from a 4 star ticket.

Then made the mistake of loading up GT sport so I could enjoy the MR2 and boy did I regret it. You quickly realise how much more enjoyable and realistic the handling is in sport. The cars aren't on a knife edge like in 7. Yes 7 keeps you on your toes, but let's not pretend it's realistic, as anybody with real world track experience will know.

Gt7 is a seriously lacking package but can be enjoyed mostly, just don't go back to sport.
 
I'd like to learn more about the cars from the designer's perspective.
Go there during daytime and people will still be there depending on your car. Thought it's quite limited actually :(

I switched to ACC because of Challengers pack and the result is the same. :D It's hard to compare but I don't want to go back to fantasy rear end.

Is that on PS4 or PC? I see it's on sale at the moment, and been tempted to buy it. But on pc i have my g27 so not sure which platform yet. It looks reminiscent of GTRe back in the day.

Depends, I have it on Xbox, PS and PC so I can recommend the best version. Currently I play on PC only because 1.8 is not anywhere else. G27 with PC would be nice combination. It's completely different approach to physics, you can really feel the road and everything. AI works fine and many other good things. Until they fix this mess it's a good replacement.

I bought for PC at least (1st gen Ryzen and a 1660Ti) and it runs smooth, I know some users have the G27 and it works just fine for them. G29 it works flawlessly, just need to adjust some in-game FFB settings. I personally recommend it for PC, as I know the console folks are a few versions behind and it's a different dev studio, so some things are a little.. buggy. Also you might have a much easier time in multiplayer on PC if that's your thing - much larger community on PC.
 
Messing around with the livery editor and wondering how on earth we're supposed to make anything decent with it. SVGs get rasterised when they go on the car, not when they're finalised, so good luck trying to scale anything up...

This is someone's decal compared to the vanilla design.

And as it turns out, the vanilla liveries are in fact 3D meshes for maximum sharpness, the same way Forza does it - notice how you can see it sticking out from the car at extreme angles:

So why on earth do these get removed when you want to so much as recolour a car? They're separate models entirely, it makes about as much sense as removing the wing or a wheel.

Yeah, I saw this when I was piddling around with the livery editor earlier in the week - to think, the one aspect of GT's livery editor that was for the most part, utterly fantastic, is now more or less pointless since the massive updates came around, and look worse then Forza does at close distances.
 
Another roulette related PSA from me:

You can get the same ticket and drop 2 days in a row. Yesterday, 4 star ticket dropped me a Toyota Tundra. Today, 4 star ticket, Toyota Tundra.

So if you're on the fence (which I personally never have been) as to whether the roulette is pure RNG there's some decent evidence there imo.

The last 3 days for me were 1 star (2 000), 1 star (10 000) and 4 star (500 000).
