For every update released, there is the potential for changes not listed in the initial patch notes. Please report any undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.


1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible, either through videos or images.
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.


THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE OFFICIAL CHANGES Only any changes not listed on the official site are discussed here
THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF THE UPDATE or anything else other than undocumented changes in the update. Keep those strictly to the appropriate threads:

Alright folks, first update of 2025. You know the drill buy now: Post changes you that have not at all been mentioned in the OP or the official patch notes (Please read carefully to ensure there is no confusion). Anything involving bugs, physics, engine swaps and other stuff go in the following threads show here as well as in the OP:

Three changes I've noticed:
  • The 992 Turbo now correctly displays the speed on the dash, as mentioned above by @OFautomotive
  • The RUF RGT's final drive can now be modified, which it couldn't before
  • The Mustang Boss 429's custom Manual and Racing transmissions are now correctly differentiated - previously, both acted as the Manual transmission

Not bad as far as bug fixes go!
 
They also reworked the shifting behaviour of the 430 Dcuderiz
And on the base F430, too!
Also...
Noticed too late, but they had fixed the missing stripes on the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car. (Not in 1.52 but in 1.49)
Before:
FXwaGDjaAAAVuWy

FXwaHGnUcAE6Auj

After:
GayjDe-aAAIh5HA

GayjDxMaoAAQCcI


...But now, it has excess side stripes only on the left side.
GayjEF9aAAAX694

GayjEfjaQAA2gPz
They have fixed it.
Now it looks perfect?

What does "adjusted difficulty level" even mean? Are the races easier or harder or does the AI just drive better?
As cars almost always increase in their PP value with game changes, they are becoming slower at the same PP value they had before.
In that way it would make sense to readjust difficulty to make it easier, as the AI cars do not suffer from PP changes.
Though you propably wont notice a difference when comparing an old version race with a new version race as the AI is not very consistent at all and you may end up with a fast old compared to a slow new total time - unless the change is reducing the AI perfomance by quite a lot.
 
I think the 992 GT3 RS doesn't vibrate the controller like crazy anymore at low speed, I think they resolved the issue of the car's rear suspension unnecessarily moving for the most part.

They added the km/h digital display on the 992 Turbo S that missed when they added the car.
BUT, still no rear wheel steering feature and the brake light is still missing on the main light bar
Is the boost gauge still wrong? (not the in dash one, the overlay)
 
On DD+
  • more FFB
  • joysticks use is easier,, less + when you only want to go right and left..
  • Also good vibrations when you are in sharp turn it helps to feel the car limit
