It seems the game will punish you now with a penalty for running really, really wide exiting the last right hander of the Mercedes Arena at Nurburgring GP.

I got a penalty there ages ago but it might have been from cutting the corner before running wide.

Other changes
Dragon trail now has a helicopter flying around in the online modes, in patch 1.00-1.05 the helicopter was only present in campaign mode. now it shows up online. It's still absent in arcade/ custom race for some odd reason.

Adding a decal to your collection now returns you to the page it came from rather than the front page of the search results, i.e. if the decal comes from the page containing results 400-499 you are returned to that page rather than the page that contains the results 0-99.

I hope that makes sense, not enough coffee yet

When viewing my new Cobra in dynamic view I noticed they added some new scapes for your car to travel through. It still amazes me when I see this. I'd like to see them make the car do burnouts or donuts, that would be sweet.

Yes makes sense.
I hated going back to the beginning. Sometimes I'd forget what page I was on. Good to know now.

I find that some cars got their PoV altered. For example i can't recreate my sitting position in the GT4 Porsche. The cockpit view now looks different. I feel in total much closer to the windscreen.

What i really really would like to see improve is the sky texture. There are some rough textured parts the more far the sun is away. At times it looks almost dreadful.

I have a photo of a helicopter taken from a replay of a Custom Race at Dragon Trail early November. It's possible that it wasn't in the actual race, however I think I recall hearing it. It's down near the waterfront.

I just noticed the 'Select Panning Shot' menu in the Race replay photo mode has some new animations to illustrate how the camera moves along with your vehicle.

they added some grandstands on Interlagos back straight like in real life.

View attachment 695422 View attachment 695423 they added some grandstands on Interlagos back straight like in real life.

Also on the topic of grandstands, unless I'm crazy, all the grandstands bar the ones on the fronstretch on both layouts of Kyoto Driving Park have been removed.
Edit: actually this might be a glitch. In time trial mode, the grandstands are gone but in arcade mode, they're there.

"balance".. And they did nothing to gr4 megane..

1) The replay control buttons are now fixed and don't disappear when your HUD is off.
2) The drivers don't twitch as much as before when going over bumps. Poor Kart racer can relax now.

Is the abilty to change engine, trans, tire and opponent engine volume new? I've never noticed it before.

It's new!

 

[DesertPenguin]

It's new!

And barely does anything to race car transmissions!

Definately new and officially mentioned in the patch notes.

I'm wondering if the fov or position changed too. It feels much better in 1.06. I did not like driving in cockpit view in 1.05, but now im driving in cockpit view in 1.06 and I feel like I can control the car better, see over the hood and around better. Maybe its a placebo effect because of the other changes like the handling grip and sounds. I have the engine sounds, transmission sounds turned up.

 

[RACECAR]

I must have missed it.

It was basically what they were reffering to under sound where it says "It is now possible to adjust the balance of sound effects during gameplay"

I mentioned that a few post down, thanks for the pics though!

Am I the only one who experienced lack of speeding up when drifting? that's annoying, seems like something about the physics changed in this version.

You can't speed up while drifting since our tires are past the threshold of grip, at best you can maintain your speed.

Right. To me the cockpit feels now 'bigger' when driving in cockpit view. I felt sort of detached from it a little bit prior to patch.

Since the update I no longer get any sector times showed in the datasheet you get presented after a time trial or a daily race quali. All it show‘s are -:—.‘ or something like that. However it still lists the overall best time and the optimum best lap time.

I think this was always the case. Full detail from memory is only shown in Sport mode qualifying tine trials. It may also be bugged as even in Sport mode it sometimes does not show as seems to be number of lap dependent.

 

[unit-one]

I didn't noticed anything changed in the cockpit. The steering wheel still blocks the view in LaFerrari :/

Its not a glitch, PD made all the tracks have little/no props during time trials . There will be a handful of spectators and a few photographers . Some tracks have entire tents/cars/helicopters/grandstands disappear during the Time trials. It makes sense.

I still find the fact it goes back to the start of the page your on a little annoying, would be nice if once you have looked at or chosen the liveries you want it brings you back out to the one you were looking at rather than going all the way back to the top of the page!

Even Amazon on Lightning Deals etc does that....the pages are constantly updating so its difficult to do I would think.
