GT Sport 1.12 Update Now Available

[Atwork]

tbh I think I'd pass on another oval track. never quite understood the fasciniation americans have with oval tracks lol

When I was young I watched Nascar but I did not leep up with it. Part of the Oval track love may come from our racing roots. So many ovals in small town racing and most of them are dirt tracks. Some oval racing can be a little boring but plenty of races have tons action. Sometimes indy gets the regs wrong and they races are down right scary. Three and four wide and hundreds passes can be entertaining. Probably more pass in some of those races than in the whole f1 season. All that said once I got into f1 it quickly became may favorite.

I'm gonna bet that unless they nerf the Citroen Gr. 3 soon, it:s gonna be a meta car with that better stability...

 

[Scuderia Paul]

How has the change to the TS050 affected it? I'll love it no matter what.

 

[Lord Protector]

Yeah I'd like some impressions too.

I just did some quick time trial laps on Interlagos with the Ferrari 458 Gr.3 with RH tires, TC 0. Same config I did on the FIA race today, and the Ferrari has a LOT more grip now. It still has sketchy moments where the back just snaps out, but it's no longer going into spin just from turning a bit too hard on the first sweeper. Going to test tire wear on a custom race now.

 

[AbeFroman75]

What! yes. Granted I use csl v2 and drive hub but I have to think this will help

Don't get your hopes up. It wasn't listed in the patch notes. I haven't been able to go online and actually see if it's there but that would be awesome.

 

[KingFrog]

Please fix...

it's been like that , I noticed it yesterday too.

 

[foxtrotonfire]

Both the Huracan Gr.3 and R8 LMS handles much better now. They don't oversteer as much like they were before the update. I expect to see them more in the dailies.

 

[tofuhero]

Just did a custom race with the Ferrari Gr.3 with tire wear. Started out with RM, got down to about 30% red. Didn't really feel loss of traction until the last lap. Switched to Softs, ran them down to about 25% red, totally fine.

Definitely seems like the improved traction on the 458 is also helping mitigate slippage from tire wear. I imagine it's similar for the other changed Gr.3 cars as well.

Well great , I really hope they haven’t messed up my beloved Gr3 Ferrari and the other MR Cars. Stability improvements, pfff. Bs.

I was waiting til you wake up to tell you to go TEST THE CAR!

The 458 Gr.3 still feels like the same car, it's just not quite as squirrelly and the grip level feels more like you get on the Gr.4 car. That's not to say you can just toss it around like a Gr.1 car; it is more than happy to spin and I still have issues with the way the back goes out with little notice. But it's much more manageable.

Maybe being able to properly spell normal words for you is too complicated?

Yes, because I am not American.......................................... So it's not a normal word for me.

 

[ChilledMatt]

Tyre glitch is fixed!

 

[Alpha Cipher]

TCS still feels the same
What did they do with it exactly?

The Ferrari is THE Gr3 Car I use 100% all the time. I actually don’t drive any other Gr3 Car. I mean I have tried the others too, but the Ferrari is just THE Car I‘m used to 100%. I know it in and out on almost any track. I actually loved it for its twitchiness and almost unpredictable behavior it is so rewarding driving it on the edge. I honestly hope when I come home from work, i‘ll still find MY same Car

I hoped you could try it now

I pretty much use it 90% of the time, so I'm right there with you. I don't share your love of its unpredictable behavior, but they haven't removed that. I'd say they've just changed the points at which it becomes unpredictable. It still has that slightly out of control feeling when you push it; you can just push it a bit harder now. I think we'll see the 458 used more in races now because of that.

I just hoped I hadn’t read this thread while being at work It just disrupt me. Really. Don’t worry young Lord, we‘ll meet later to check it out together

Still disappointed that there is no custom soundtrack option so I can set 'Satoshi Bandoh - When The Rains Come' as my menu music.

Now expecting nothing less than Deep Forest + Spa or Le Mans.

They should include at least one by the way car today, it would be much nicer!

It's already out and there are no tracks or cars. Just bug fixes and vehicle stability fixes. The proper update will be end of the month as per Nov, Dec and Jan

 

[PJTierney]

1. Physics Simulation Model
　- Traction control has been adjusted to improve handling.

Can somebody explain what this means please?

Does this mean that TCS kicks in more aggressively to prevent wheelspin, or backs off a little more now so that cars don't get bogged down on corner exit?

Presumably it is an improvement in standard traction with TCS off?

I mean on later this month, and one car for sympathies today...

 

[Vredefort]

Is it? Somebody earlier said it wasn’t?

I'd like to see some kind of proof either way.

 

[ASH32]

That's what it seemed to mean in the past, rather than being about the TCS aid.

Plenty of people saying it's fixed 👍
