Gran Turismo Undocumented Changes Thread (Update 1.42)

[DJShadesUK]

just random again and again... you can not take 2 instances and deduce something has changed

I didn't say has, I said may:

May

verb

1. expressing possibility.

I watched a YT video about BOP changes in the Gr.3 category:

 

[ImbaSteckdose]

On Lake Louise, TCS setting cannot be adjusted - it's always off.

I can adjust it in the menu (before race start) and in the MFD no problem. It's just after race start, in the pause menu - assist settings, that it is grayed out. And it does seem to do something, based on occasionally red blinking slidy car icon

 

[VanQuins]

Please someone else confirm this, but to me VR gameplay became much sharper. Previously the cockpit was way more blurry, now you can read all buttons, displayed info without too much focus

Have the jets on Brands Hatch always been there?
Probably I was blind for around two years. Did the race from the weekly challenges (with the Jimny 😀) in VR and thought „wow there are jets beside the track“.

 

[TumeK5]

Have the jets on Brands Hedge always been there?

They added a new track after all??

 

[Reeneman]

Sorry Goodwood was the track that I meant.

It should always be OFF for Rally.
Having any traction control in a rally event is stupid.
TCS will limit power on wheel spin, so you limit yourself when trying to power out of a corner.

Rally is not to be driven like grip driving like the AI do, but you throw the car around corners and power out.

The Roulette Tickets do seem more random now. I need to keep an eye on to be 100% certain.

Not really sure what you're trying to say. I bought both front bumpers, the different rear bumper, and even the GT licence plates to see if any of them change the situation from default parts. They don't. In every case the bumpers are in Other, and the plates in Body 2 probably just to make it so that the plates can be easily decaled without affecting the bumpers.

Yeah, I don't think it's some "genius move" on PD's part. It's wack. Likely a simple hasty mistake that can be corrected like many others they've corrected in past. For organisation's sake they should have stuck with their categorization. Since Body 2 is usually for the hood, they could have put the bumpers on that and you'd have the same "genius move" as you call it. Just that it'd make more sense since a plate isn't part of the body and belongs in 'other'. Which is why they have the icon for 'other' being a licence plate. Makes sense to me.

Lots of paints but no new rims.... so sad...
And something else... it's me that the dirt in Lake Louise is more intense?

 

[GT PRO-AM]

It seems that exhaust flames are much improved, on PS4. Can someone else check and confirm?

don't know how to check properly but i have noticed this on my PS4, the exhaust flames are more noticable

 

[PettyWingman]

Porsche's logo was changed from letterings to an emblem.

Where?

 

[flimmelblitz]

I may be hallucinating but the FF on my G29 seems more detailed than before. Anyone else?

 

[shadow0460]

Please someone else confirm this, but to me VR gameplay became much sharper. Previously the cockpit was way more blurry, now you can read all buttons, displayed info without too much focus

I wore my headset a bit lower and moved the screen one extra notch out. Other than that, if anything, it seems the headset vibrates less. I didn't notice any graphical changes.

 

[DivitLad]

Can now select Colorado Springs using the D-pad.

The highlight of the update for me.

It was only the other day I 1st came across that issue, was thinking wtf, pressing diagonally on dpad trying to select Colorado

Notice it also on ps4

 

[AlexWilmot]

I think the dirt kick up on cars in rally is bigger now

 

[Ohayo]

On Lake Louise, TCS setting cannot be adjusted - it's always off.

Ok, I was slightly wrong about this:
CE, Jimny & Pickup races won't let you change TCS, but if choose 4WD challenge, GR. B race or Time Trial, it will be available.

 

[Guffaluff]

Please someone else confirm this, but to me VR gameplay became much sharper. Previously the cockpit was way more blurry, now you can read all buttons, displayed info without too much focus

I play exclusively in VR since day 1 of PSVR2 release, and I see no change. Pretty sure this might be placebo

 

[VR-SORN]

I can confirm the inability to access Colorado Springs track since Lake Louise was added has been fixed with the update.
(when using D-pad on steering wheel or on controller.)

OK so here's a new one. In time trial (offline) if you have a penalty then that penalty will be added to your lap time instead of invalidating your next lap. Definitely new this update because this was not the case as of a couple of weeks ago

Please explain as I just did a TT and I got the lap invalidation (red timing) not less than 10 minutes ago...

That was last year that change. It depends where in the lap you get the penalty now. Turn 1 likely won’t invalidate your next lap, final turn definitely will

 

[Sir Crashalot]

What exactly are you guys talking about? I've never seen any penalties or invalid laps in an offline TT.

 

[FluxWildly]

Please explain as I just did a TT and I got the lap invalidation (red timing) not less than 10 minutes ago...

So I finished a lap at 1:45.044 with a 0.500sec penalty and my recorded lap time was 1:45.544. Confused the f out of me at first when looking at my lap times until I realised what had happened.
in the past regardless of where you got the penalty, if you hadn't served all of it by the end of the lap, your next lap was invalid.

What exactly are you guys talking about? I've never seen any penalties or invalid laps in an offline TT.

Yes you need to turn them on in settings otherwise you won't get any

That was last year that change. It depends where in the lap you get the penalty now. Turn 1 likely won’t invalidate your next lap, final turn definitely will

The online TT and qualifying work like this but in offline when you get a penalty you can serve it any time by just slowing down. It's hard to serve when you get one on the last turn which is why your lap time gets invalidated
