If we don't get a content update in the next few days I will be confused because it'd be out of step with the current pattern.

Will it? They've always come in the last week of the month, not the third.

1.17 - June 23rd
1.15 - May 26th
1.13 - April 25th

If they stick with Thursdays then this Thursday is possible, but the following Thursday (28th) is more likely.

Yeah but there's a 28 day gap between each of them, so it stands to reason that v1.19 will release on the 21st of July.

So, i really have to say:
Like making liveries, i can also not be bothered with tuning. Yeah, buying parts is fun, but fiddling with setting is not for me. I don't care learning what's what and what works.

Like using other peoples liveries (which is great, you guys are artists!) it would be super cool to use other peoples tunes the same way, because making screenshots on my phone and then trying to do the same thing just blows.

Kaz said he would not want it any other way because he wants people to learn and fiddle thereselfs.

I think this is bs. First: for many of us it's the opposite of fun, a real pain and many cars are really bad on standard setting. Second: i don't believe him, that this is the reason for not getting to copy others tunes in the game. I think it got to complicated and they ran into problems because if you would be able to copy, not only it would be a problem if you already bought a permanent upgrade like a weight reduction that is not part of the copied tune, also liveries with spoilers and widebodie could get in the way of getting other peoples setting.

I still hope such a feature comes in the future, at least with GT8.

And yeah, i get that others have the real work and do all the fiddling for me (thank you, ladies and gentlemen!), but i guess they enjoy it. Setting up 100 cars with screenshots on my phone still takes a lot of unneccesary time, that i will never get back and i hate it.

And i guess it's even worse for casuals, who don't use gtplanet ir reddit... They just won't enjoy these creations.

Kaz hits us with the “Update coming next week”. It would have been last week for his post. It’ll probably be a heads up this week for next week update.

Use this guys settings https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/praianos-tunes-settings-for-gt7.404868/ i played a few other games where you can share setups FH5 for eg but i do hate that they are locked so you can't see what tricks they used setting up the vehicle
lets hope its just another thing they left out for this beta test :mischievous:
 
I'd wager the "last week of the month" stems from the first of the 28 day gaps being at the end of the month - therefore making the rest of them end up there too.

But we shall see in the next hour - if nothing is said within a couple of hours it's safe to say it'll be the next week after.

Wow. My first ever fully dry Le Mans 30 minutes!

There was rain on the radar but it passed by south of the track so it only became overcast.

I've done this race almost every day since the event was added.
This is my favourite race, because you genuinely don't know what you're going to get. Like you, if I have time, it's my daily race. I've started trying a wider variety of car recently. Latest stupid idea was the Merc SLR because I'd got the Stage 5 weight reduction on the Carousel of Cr@p. Very fast, but literally twice the braking distance of the Gr4 cars!
 
It's funny because I do feel like all they need to do is bring back the GT League events, but reduce the rolling start and use a faster AI preset. That's it. So many peoples qualms would be gone, instantly.

We know there's AI presets, and the fastest of these really aren't that slow - when they aren't being rubberbanded to hell and back it can be hard to keep up with them (see the endurances). Use that, and use AI that aren't halfway across the track, and voila, you have competitive races for everyone that don't use the awful system literally everyone has hated since GT5. Sure, the AI won't be that smart, but they can be somewhat quick, which imo is the main thing.

I really feel like it cannot be that much work. They dropped the thing into GTS so quickly that I struggle to believe they can't do the same for GT7. We don't even need the GT League format. Just the events.

the chili races are good enough. They should be all like that. They just do not want or they think are better in that way. That’s why they are never going to change…maybe just changing half PD staff
 
The whole gt7 race map is a huge letdown. With so few events they are stil locked per region. Evolution studios did 10x better and they got shut down...

This is completely beyond me. Why PD can't add more events? It can't be too much of an effort to make more events. Especially with their tools. yet they still add 3-4 events per update. Ridiculous. I really hope we will see A LOT of new events with this month update.
 
We can be sure we get more music rally, otherwise I think GT7 needs a spec2 (redesign basicly) that will not come with the lackluster support it has.
 
Music rally is fun, but I don't understand why it wasn't incorporated into the world map so we can get credits for completing them. It's just baffling
My definition of fun is different ;) .There is no focus in GT7, events are fragmented into several menus with most of them one time only- with the effort that went into creating them its just a waste.
