[mynameis66]

This so perfectly encapsulates GT7 and PD's approach to it that I'm stealing it for this week's sim racing news round-up video!

Always look forward to your vids.No filler,all fact. 👍

I think it's amazing that we can change aero parts on the MP 4/4

Guys trust me, buy the MP 4/4, you won't regret it, it's just on another level compared to the f1500t.

Anyway if you want a Marlboro livery use this one, it's absolutely the best one.
He posted also the german gp version and Prost versions.

What a bargain.

What parts can be changed?

In time I hope they offer different aero packages for the Group C cars.

You can change to one of 3 low, med, and high downforce side pod covers, add a small wing over the radiator(?), and a low or high downforce rear wing.

Wish more of the race cars had this type of customization to change aero packages. Finally getting the non-Le Mans spec of a lot of cars would be sick.

I wonder if this affects liveries like widebody kits?

It won’t. Styles make it so whatever parts the shared car has will be on your car when you apply the livery.

PD needs to work on their V8 engine sounds like... A LOT. The GTO just doesn't sound good and that's pretty disappointing. I guess American cars just can't be prioritized because they just aren't as popular as European and Asia-Pacific vehicles?

I suppose one of my all-time favorite cars being added distracted me from the fact that the update just isn't good =/

Agreed. There's nothing that sounds like a large displacement American V-8. See my avatar.

The GTP sounds good to me with the racing exhaust. Loving the handling.

 

[Canucks_9419]

What's the strat for success in the Neo-Classic races? Do I just need to own the 787B or what? It's 10 seconds down the road every race in my CLK.

I only installed the sports exhaust on it but it does sound better now than default. Say, since we're mentioning exhaust, anyone here got a list or know of a list of cars that sound better with sports exhausts installed?

Just bought a PS5 Digital at JB Hi-fi Kotara. They only have those in stock.

Only 7 left. They get a regular shipment.

FYI they also get xboxs but sell out as they receive them.

With it taking longer than a lot of people would have expected to implement, I suspect that Polyphony are working on something a bit more in-depth than the "sell car" systems in previous games.
Perhaps some kind of online "Aftermarket" of sorts similar to how Forza has an Auction House.
You'd not only be able to buy & sell cars with other users, but parts and engines too.
They might still have an option to "quick sell" back to the game for a lower price though. At least I'd hope so because I doubt I could find 600+ buyers for NSX Gr.B's lol

To be honest theres only one reason why selling cars isnt in the game now, and that's the same reason they introduced the option of buying in-game credits with real money. It's because they want you to spend more money on microtransactions.

I'll have to try it, I was sooo disappointed by it's stock exhaust.

Sounds more throaty. More audible from the cockpit too. Where the Camaro sounds too low. None of the muscle/pony cars compare to the Boss 429, but the GTO is nice.

The GT350R is also too muffled.

WHY do you spent all the credits when you know anyway what you get !!!

A good question for PD, right? They spent a month to add this to the game.

 

[HarVee]

I noticed something with the 2005 MINI, if you install sports hard tyres and a sports exhaust you can then install a racing air filter and the PP rating will actually go down despite the rest of the car's overall stats improving.

Hi guys. Since Gamescom just happened, was there any news regarding the PC version of GT7 coming any time in the near or far future?

No.

Aside from that Nvidia leak, not really. Seeing how Sony is working on their proprietary game client for PC, it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I tried the racing exhaust it sounded alright, not a fan of side exit exhausts though.

Yeah, a couple of the side exhausts don’t work. Should have the rear exit options with racing exhausts too.

As for my PS5, the graphic upgrade from my PS4 Slim, is crazy. The sound too.
I drove the GTO around Bathurst. It’s funny, the worse thing about the improved graphics are the glare. Love the GTO, but when the sun hits that tachometer… continued blindness from the reflection. Other than that, watching my replays is even better. So crisp. Feels good to finally be up to date. Now, about this DS controller.

Im using the default settings with a few reassigned buttons. Compared to when I switch between GT7 and ACC, GT7 feels much heavier and slower with everything. Steering, accelerating And braking. ACC nearly feels like the DS4. Very light and more fine tuned.
I’ll mess with the controller settings, but I’m just happy to jump in and race, so I can watch the replays. Good stuff.

I used the BMW McLaren long tail for these races and placed 1st on all 3 first try.
