Gran Turismo 7 Physics

[snowgt]

Regarding the physics fix introduced in 1.52 ... "The behavioural models for the suspensions and the steering have been adjusted to prevent front lift during cornering and oversteer during braking", I was able to compare the PP figures of 257 road cars with the previous 1.49/1.50 numbers and 94 of those checked had changed.

There seems to be a pattern that...

• all FF-drivetrain cars were changed
• the majority of 4WD-cars were changed
• only a few FR/MR cars were changed

You updated to 1.49 when it dropped, that’s what you’re doing wrong.

You do not make any sense, I am forced to update when it drops or I cannot play.
💩 on your dopey answer

Drove a whole array of different cars yesterday.. All of them drove great! I love the current physics. I'm on the G29 though and I drive everything stock pretty much all the time.

There is still a big underlying issue going on with this model when a vehicles suspension is being pushed to its limits. I drove an EVO III in the Colorado springs dirt race with close to stock suspension and it would repeatedly bounce after pretty much any jump. Often the front would bounce two or three times when the car came back to the ground.

This is the THIRD rebound hop after a small jump.

Early in the lap there's a dip on the left side of the track formed by a little out-road that kicks the car up when you hit it. Most times I can use this to upset the car and really hammer it in to the next downhill right corner, but in the case of the EVO it catapults the rear up into the air so hard it stands on its nose. It's like some cars have pinball bumpers on top of their springs that rocket you to space once you "hit them" (suspension compression). Very strange.

A "minor" rear hop... haha

And a nose wheelie

I was hoping they were going to make some deeper changes to the model and really polish things up while getting rid of clear issues, but it looks like they're still there. I still like GT7s handling a great deal, but it would be nice if new updates wouldn't be a step in the wrong direction and instead made it better.

And I know tuning can sort some issues out, but we shouldn't have to do a bunch of adjustments to simply make cars drivable.

Cars hitting the curbs so much better.


Even PD have the 190 E DTM two-wheeling in the Weekly Race at Nurburgring Sprint.

It was sarcasm. The same thing happened to me on 1.49 update. Cannot calculate PP! They broke the game. No way around it then adding or removing parts until you find out what fixes it unfortunately.

Anyone else really enjoying the current TTs from a physics perspective?

First the Vulcan @ Interlagos, wow! I've never been a fan of race cars and usually avoid driving them as I find that they feel kind of "dead", understeery, wooden, and lacking a window of slip angle within which to drive. The Vulcan is not that at all! You can feel the tires working and scrabbling at the edges of grip, as you turn in and manage the rotation. As you power out, you can feel the rears on edge, braking loose from time to time but then holding on as you carefully measure out the power. You can hold a bit of oversteer and play within a zone of slippage. It seems to lock up under braking even with ABS, and you feel the wheel lighten up as the tires block then the car pushes wide. The steering is stiffer, feels super connected and linear, and there's so much FFB feedback through the wheel. It's such a lively and engaging experience!

And then contrast that with how differently the M3 feels and drives. Just brilliantly shows off the range of GT7 and how it's able to convey differences in cars. Immediately there's less directness, its softer, the grip limits and progression is different, you need to manage the body roll, weight and momentum. It feels like a street car that it is in stark contrast to the trackday special that the Vulcan is.

It's so brilliantly enjoyable.

I'd like them to make the engine braking harder to handle so that everybody wouldnt enter every turn with small gear. Its getting a bit annoyingly "gamey". And it also result in slowing down without brakelights which is not good for racing.
