Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.49: Eiger Nordwand, Six New Cars, Physics Changes, & More

[HarVee]

Who would have thought you would buy a car for the ability to drive it?

And I don't think we need any added weather features either, I think we have enough options for those. Unless someone can prove me wrong.

Soooooooo you don't want realistic scenarios..........?

This is your two-minute warning. Two minutes...two minutes until the servers go down.

And now we're in the cone of silence.

Servers down...

 

[KAlex122]

But my PS5 is currently not finding any updates for GT7. Is this normal?

 

[Sharpie]

Grinding over.

Yep.

 

[Eggstor]

It's a big one - the PS5 file is 4.861 GB.

That track, SOPHY and physics programs.

 

[MroczMR]

Somebody is going to try new physics in arcade mode before servers go up?

 

[Eggstor]

Patch notes are up. 10 engine swaps this time (though we won't know the donors until the servers come back up).

Psyched for the localization updates!

Gr.4 race cars have Michelins, but normal black wall lettering.

The new tracks cool, very short and windy.
I’m gonna try and get a lap of under a minute before the servers go back up!

How is the new Physics?

 

[05XR8]

That’s is a looooooooooong pit lane

As for physics. I used the GR86at Eiger. Felt fine to me. Very forgiving while learning the circuit. Tyres not squealing for their life in corners or slowing. I’m on controller, but the ride “feels” comfortable. Even over the little hump in the road.

E36 looks good in red.

Personally, I would have preferred the Super Advan Ver 2 or Advan Oni, but I'm very happy to finally get the tri-spokes in GT.
I'm sure a number of cars in my garage will have their wheels replaced with these.

So far the physics feel great. Wondering how the tire degradation will be though.

How is the new Physics?

I haven’t played much recently so my frame of reference is off.
I will say I feel faster in, around and out of corners and it feels pretty easy. I am using a controller and a Gr4 911 so there is that.

Feels nice, I like it.

I haven’t seen the wheels yet, but it’s got to be those we saw on the hidden custom blue Corvette.

Feels really "smooth" to drive at eiger. Lovely circuit. Not quite sure what the differences are exactly, but it does feel a lot nicer to drive.

 

[CotillionRope]

One note on tyres, I though there would be two sets of racing tyres but it looks like the Michelins have replaced the old ones, in arcade mode at least.

Quite curious on the improvements on their torque algo for wheels and all the significant changes in Physics and handling. Seems PP levels significantly changed so need to adjust all the 100s of praianos tunes 😅

 

[Eggstor]

Servers are up.

 

[05XR8]

I there!
