2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.
3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.

As per usual, find any changes that are not already mentioned in the official patch notes and be careful to make sure that what you find wasn't already there at launch.

Anything that partains to glitches, physics or engines and anything else should go in the threads shown in the OP via these buttons:

You may now post.

New Cafe Dialogue has been added . The Alfa is new as it's a new car . Bet there was others added in too.

 

[BeardedWolf]

AI can now have engine swaps. I posted a video in the Engine Swap thread with an example.

 

[Islaygaz]

AI has always had that capability. It’s usually in the chilli menus though.

As said, AI have had engine swaps already. Notably the beetle and the sambabus

 

[MadMax]

There seems to be some changes to track limits + physics have changed allowing faster times to be done in Lisences ect.

Track limits

oh that's actually pretty nice Daytona have really sketchy track limit on that bus stop since the game launch

 

[RobertHammer]

That's cool , it would be nice if somebody can check if some track limits were changed in Road Atlanta

 

[Eggstor]

The "FOUR" in the 1994 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR (ST205) is now capitalized to match the capitalization of the Rally Car version. Previously, it had not been capitalized.

Edit - Scratch that - the capitalization happened with the 1.26 update.

 

[PettyWingman]

A new menu soundtrack has been added:
Felix Mendelssohn - Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

They‘ve messed with FFB again (at least on the DDPro). I’ve got the 8nm kit, and the strength has been increased - was running game Torque 4 at 90 on the wheel, now 3 at 100 for same strength. In game dampers turned down as it will oscilate sooner and more strongly at high speeds if you let go. Road texture has been turned up, much more noticeable, but curbs not noticing any changes. Road texture is only felt off the wheels deadzone in the center - dead on nothing much but move past a slight steering angle on it and its noticeable. You can check this out on special route X - the banked turns have visible pavement ripples vs the straights which are smooth and you can definitely feel it. No change to tire model that I can feel unfortunately. Understeer judder maybe a bit more muted. Is it back to the 1.15 level of feeling & detail? No but at least they are still poking at it…

If you change the Alfa livery then try to revert back to factory livery, you can't. all the badges and stickers are missing and won't come back.

That is a glitch, which should be posted in appropriate thread mentioned in the OP

That damn Sambabus in the Alsace 1 hour mission. Good thing it needs to refuel every other lap.

I just discovered that if you change the rims and then revert to default design, the new car thumbnail image will look slightly different from a untampered car.

I suspect that default car thumbnail image is rendered without raytracing and if you make any cosmetic changes to the car the game generates a new thumbnail image with raytracing on

Not a new thing in 1.27, it's been like that for months, perhaps even from the beginning. Raytracing is debatable as it happens even without it turned on.

You can no longer look back or turn around the camera in the Results screen.

 

[PettyWingman]

Until 1.26, when you enter a custom race with an engine-swapped or wide-bodied race car (the only subject is the Silvia TC with a VR38DETT) with trying to apply BoP in the "World Circuits" menu screen, a message box appears which indicates BoP application failure, but if you do so in the "race settings" screen on the race menu, it causes the app error.

In 1.27, if you're in such a car, the "BoP" option is unselectable just like when you're in a non-grouped car, so you won't face the risk of app error in the situation above any longer.

 

[BigSarj]

I only finally noticed that you can see who liked your uploaded styles, scapes, and decals.
