After a long long very long 1.06 download time, almost 30hours , due to a very low download speed problem that i still have with my internet connection during day time, i was able to test the new version of the game at 3 am.
A cable optic fiber 8 megas stable connection will be installed mid july
and i will finally say goodby to my DSL nightmare.... Anyway.
I have to remember that i play with a G29 wheel, it seems that most of the users of this wheel have some kind of problems with it.
I´ll talk later of the FFB , first i have to say that they have reduced and bring to a reasonable level the
aid that was stopping the lateral inertia of the car during a drift , restraining the rear end in a very unrealistic way when loosing the rear grip.
Now i can feel , sorry not feel so much, i can mainly see, that they low this aid effect to a point where you can spin ( more easily at carroussel for example ) if you exagerate your driving input combined with a big lateral force G momentum. It stay very easy to correct or avoid , but at least , if you don´t spin and stop totally, it will lowering your lap time, showing you that this kind of driving habit (trashing the car all over the place) will be sanctioned.
This is a very good point in my opinion and the amount they take out this effect is perfect because it stay very educative without putting the car´s four wheels over skateboards , spinning like the sputnik in the space till the end of time, like others SIMS do. I think this extreme is also very unrealistic and above all , very elitist , leaving most of us behind.
FFB now.
First with G29 we can feel and hear this dramatic horrible CLUNCH, when you give to much wheel angle and when your are above the front grip limit or also when the vertical force variation is excessive. I think PD can correct this specific FFB level easily.
Beside this isolated problem , we have the FFB sensitivity problem by itself.
In GTS we have the longitudinal , lateral , vertical and perhaps twisting force signals represented all together by the Force feedback sensitivity level. I think this scale need much more amplitude, the max 10 setting is still too muted in my opinion.
Also The FFB max torque have the same problem and a wider range will allow us combined with the sensitivity to set a very good level of answer of the FFB and consequentely increase our driving pleasure.
Remembering i drive with a G29. Those are my feelings about the new 1.06 physics, they can be very good if PD modulate the above described littles problems.
Congrat to PD for the quick reaction and thanks to listen to their GT players and fans.👍
Have a good day everybody.
