The cars are easier to drive. Went from doing 1:42's at Dragon Trail to doing 1:41's and then 1:40's by using the curbs with the GR.3 Jaguar. For me that was a really difficult car to control wheelspin on before the 1.05 update. Even with the tighter chicane, it's easily faster. I chose that car specifically today for the races just to see how much difference this update made. It's substantial imo.

Gotta say that extra grip has resulted in some far more lively racing from me then usual. Its also created some bits of over confidence but then again, how else will you find the limit (Or that new aesthetically pleasing wall with the added shrubbery 
)

Really jealous of all you folks with PS4s - I've been holding off on a PS4/wheel purchase until GTS is RELEASED. Thanks for all of your updates to the GTS beta builds. Very much appreciated! Still, can't wait to play this video game at release - and to see what the final product is like, considering everyone's feedback. I know I have a SOLID arcade racer in DriveClub, but really hoping GTS nails it in the sim department.

I may be coming around to this update- I had pretty miserable couple of races at Dragon, but then I started running GT3 qualifying at the Ring. My previous best was a white-knuckled, hold on to your hat 7:32 run in the Mustang. Last night in the RS-01 I got down to 7:02, with more in reach, certainly mid 6:50's. I don't there there's more outright grip, but I do think the feedback is vastly improved- I have a much better feel for what the car is doing, and can manage it better all the way to the limit. Where in 1.04 the first indicator you were going of was, well, going off, in 1.05 the feedback is much more subtle, allowing me to work the limits a lot better. I'm running a lot of the higher speed corners much hotter just from better feedback. I'm still struggling with gearing for top speed- the RS-01 should be a rocket, but getting it up past 165 or so is a real pain.

How so? I think they limited the view of the actual car interior in order to make room on screen for all the HUD elements at the top. In 1.05 cockpit view we are made to see more of the roof of the car than anything else. That is completely the wrong approach and I hope they change it. Otherwise, what's the point of a cockpit view if you can't see the cockpit? The whole point is immersion. If you want to focus on the road then there's bumper cam or hood cam or whatever else. The perfect solution would be to have an adjustable cockpit view, complete with height and zoom functionality. I would love to be able to look at my side and rear view mirrors to see what's behind me without having to use the look behind button.

Yeah exactly. When you see every little detail even below the car badge on the wheel, it's like if you have your head inside or behind the headrest.
Yeah, it was twitchy, just like the 180 cam in cockpit.
Now they fixed the cockpit cam, it's smooth. I really hope they do the same with the 360 exterior cam.

Is that a threat? Because it shure reads like that not very friendly.
I can say what my feelings are when i like if i dont hurt people with it..... take a beer its friday and relax.
"Just go play something else."
What a great response towards legitimate concerns. If GT Sport turns out to be mediocre, we can thank attitudes liks this.
Medicore for who? Its jus a GT game but better in all fronts. But not good enough for some people that constant referrering to other games. My point is that if you think that those other game do better you can play those because you can.
Some things that people want to change are real GT things they wont change that because its GT. Cant explain myself better then this because iam not english.
Everbody can do and say what they want iam just giving my input.
Edit: i dont think its MEDICORE just a beta....

I think you are exaggerating a little bit, but I get you. But English isn't my first language either.
Understand and note that some people not only used to
love GT, but in the end they still do. Because of the past. And dropping GT isn't easy even when it's the more rational thing to do when it doesnt meet what they seek for. That's why they keep complaining and "criticizing", hoping that their old expectation to be meet.
There is always a hope for change - even for the things that are unlikely to.

I'm confused, as well. I don't love his statement, but I see it as a barometer/thermometer of feelings and attitudes toward GT.
GT hasn't ever TRULY gotten away form an "arcade" type feel.
Where as AC (especially) and PC (a little less so) have nailed true handling characteristics.
If someone wants TRUE driving, GT really isn't it.
However, if someone wants to race with a LOT of people, GT is excellent.
It's all in what a person wants.

PCars and AC have their issues too. None of these games are truly that accurate. They're close and each have their own 'feel', but why the 'vs' all the time? I think there's a thread for that? A combination of 1.05 with 1.04 would be nice. Certain things need working on, but hopefully they listen to the majority of feedback and make the appropriate changes. The only thing I can say is flood their official forums?

Neither one "looks like driving a real car".
How many 'real cars' have a black-out drape covering 3/4 of the drivers' side window, and 1/2 of the windshield?
Cockpit view is not 'realistic', without triples or VR.

"Play what you want" implies that someone is playing something they don't want. It's something that is completely unnecessary to say because no one plays games they don't want to play.Well since you deleted that reaction now a ontopic one.

Has anyone else encountered issues/bugs when starting a daily race? I'd post in the beta test forum but I can't get in atm.
I'd post a video-link from YT but I miss-saved the footage (it's gone) and I wasn't streaming, the folllowing happened just 10minutes ago:
Brands hatch Indy GR.4 race loaded up; warm-up starts & I head out on track with most of the other cars. My qualy position was p4 on a 49.890. Just before the warm-up ends I get used as a brake and end up in a sandbox. I went off throttle and awaited the race-start, only 2 seconds left on warm-up timer after this moment.
Race grid showing starts & I notice a car missing on the grid, my car in p4 is not there, lol.
View changes to drivers perspective & my car's parked where player starts their qualifying runs on brands hatch Indy... i ended the race in p12 & had fun racing but what the hell at that bug.
I've had several other races (pre 1.05) where the guy on pole position had a time that was over 1 minute slower than the guy in p2. I haven't seen any of these in 1.05 tho.
