any significant physics changes in the rain?

I tried to see if racing off the ideal line had more grip and didn't notice any.

 

[QTheRacer_31]

I assume it's just a grip coefficient change. RSS tires are best. Inters ok. Wets nope.

A little weird that it's raining without clouds but there are no rainbows haha

Edit: Time Trial isn’t a reliable way to test it.

Even with "heavy wet" slicks are faster than Wet tyres ?

My initial thoughts of 1 lap in the BMW M4. DS4 TC off:
Best wet physics in a GT game to date. Everything the car did was as expected. Including losing it on the curb and sliding into the barrier.
And the graphics well, you know..PD... I like how the light reflects through the droplets on the wind shield.

I'm faster on slicks than on wets. Gotta try the inters now.

Would be very important to note if you have Grip Reduction set to “Real” versus “Low”.

In past GT games, slick tires were faster in rain conditions when Grip Reduction was set to “Low”.

However, when setting it to “Real”, you’d have a hard time even staying on the track.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I know which setting was used to give faster lap times with RSS tires.

 

[Strittan]

Yet more non-modern Japanese cars, no Spa & only wet weather on 1 track...

Back to Forza 7 i guess. Been playing that way more then GTS the last few months. This needed to be a good update to bring me back.

It is a good update, not according to you, but according to many others, and like all other updates it’s free.

 

[Aphelion]

I have previously made comments about how I find the Spa jokes/nonsense to be unfunny.

Now its funny

 

[SUPRASTAR0003]

I wish people would stop saying “it’s free”, it’s getting old that saying.

@OnyxMoneytron Oops. Did we mess up something?

 

[RedlineRacer]

Hot Lap gameplay of the rain conditions of RedBull Ring!

Here is my "proper" test of the new rain physics.

I don’t care how old you think it gets as long as it’s true, unlike in almost every other racing game.

Rear fog lights, baby!

You’re probably right. I assumed rain would still be rain in time trial. I guess PD likes making things that don’t make sense to make the game more accessible. I’ll withdraw my comments then

 

[Atwork]

The delay for SPA is all due to this guy he has to be plastered everywhere that the owners of SPA will allow:

This guy maybe how spa was brought to you. I am surprised that games do not have more adds/product placement/ signage.

 

[Volksauto]

Are the servers up for anybody yet?

 

[RedlineRacer]

Ok, time trial mode is definitely set to "low" grip by default, load up a custom race and set it to "real" then try to run on slicks, you will not have a fun time...

Kaz´s weird version of realistic physics. GT-S at its best LOL

I was trying a lap in rain, after 300m i quited this joke

 

[CodeRedR51]

Nope

 

[05XR8]

Who was asking that question? PD delivered.👍

Not the proper test we deserve, but the one we need right now

 

[GTV0819]

At least we get another road car added to the 1980's.

Some complain they aren't modern enough.

Thank! I’ll try it tomorrow. I just don’t get why that Low setting is a thing. Just so it looks cute with puddles as you’re racing on slicks... Unless you can force people to use Wets for authenticity.

Mine just reconnected.

I knew that GTS pic of the GTO was an "uh oh". It finishes last every N300 race. Gets a good awd start and passes the cars at back. Then, the C3, RX500 and Mach 1 bully it to the back in 20th.

 

[Tassie_tiger]

Other than rain at Red Bull, there isn't a real lot I'm excited for in this months update.

But I guess this sounds interesting:
"Other Improvements and Adjustments
- Fixed an issue in "Sport" mode and Lobby wherein the amount of time lost during a pit stop was longer than that of an offline race."
https://www.gran-turismo.com/au/gtsport/news/00_4205673.html

I wonder if they mean they've shortened the Sport/Lobby pitstops, or lengthened the Offline pitstops?
I think I'ld prefer the latter because the pitstops offline (pit lane travel time) always seem too quick for me.
