No, I am absolutely positive they have not tweeked the unrealistic, unfun throttle mapping one tiny bit. That extra sense of control is coming from the new tyre model being a little more progressive is all.
Imho, with this new tyre model GTS would now be a much closer rival to AC (for example) and would properly deserve to be called a driving "simulation" if only PD would do the right and obvious thing and make it linear (or thereabouts) like just about every car on Earth is or has ever been.
Assuming that PD took the time and trouble to make power and torque algorithms for each of the cars in this game so we all have some semblance of an idea as to how that unique engine would operate in the real world, it seems nonsensical to me to have afterwards added this horrible over-arching mechanic that kills the individuality of every motor in the game.
Trust me, if car/bike manufacturers all inexplicably went mental overnight and adopted this type of mapping for their road/race vehicles there would be a lot more peeps on first name terms with their particular God going forward.

Anyone else having an issue with the update notices showing up every time I start up GT sport ( never had this before the update ),ie the micro transactions splash screen and notices re latest update. Can’t figure out how to get rid of them I have turned off micro transaction option in my settings.

Suddenly after the update you have sometimes VGT cars in your grid when you do GT League races.
Today I already had the isorivolta (or how it's called) in the premium car league, and a Peugeot hybrid VGT in the 4wd challenge race.
Or was that already the case prior to the update?

Is anyone facing issues with downloading other users Helmets? I’m adding them to the Library but it’s not bringing them up when I try to wear them the helmets just not appearing. However they appear in my library as downloaded when viewing in the separate tab.... I can’t work it out and it’s frustrating me.

I think you nailed why GT sport feels completely boring and sterile and you should be commended for that. I have been trying for years to articulate why I could only play racing games for more than 10 min before I start falling asleep
I think all racing games fall flat because its very hard to convey the actual feeling of driving a 500hp car. There is no sense of g forces throwing you back into the seat, no sense of speed, and no game can get car sounds right. No matter how hard they try they just cant do it. So what you get instead is a poor imitation of what its like to drive an actual performance car with none of the excitement and adrenaline.
I have owned numerous cars over the years. One of the highlights was my evo 8 MR. It only had an exhaust and intake which made around 210kw at the wheels. That car would thrust you into the seat once boost came on and would be one of the most exhilarating and exciting drives ever. Try driving 300hp car in gt sport or even forza and tell me how exciting it is.
Until developers can figure out a way to simulate g forces or even improve the sense of speed then car sims will always be boring and sterile experiences.

This is why many serious sim racers with the means to do so spend tens of thousands of dollars on their racing rigs. Direct drive wheels, high end pedals, motion simulators, multiple tactile transducers run by specialty software, high end PCs, triple screens and/or VR. It's a very expensive hobby if you really want something that approaches what it's like to drive these cars, but the technology is definitely available and getting better.

About the reset of times / leaderboards in circuit experience.
I think its great the actually reset it. Wouldent make sense to have times set with a tire model that is not up to date.
Also if its true that its harder to get gold now, that is only good too, as it was a lot to easy before.

put sensitivity at max, but keep the torque low, in the G29 that gives it a "real"-like feeling.
edited: If you set max sensitivity and also max torque it will feel like you are driving a M1 Abrams at 200 mph, it will break your hands.
Cars have never been fitted with a linear throttle until the recent development of motorsport in the past 20-30 years, (that doesn't mean that you are wrong, the throttle map in this game is rubbish), just wanted to precise that cars, in general, do not have a linear throttle.

Have you made sure that you have the exact model of helmet in your collection that the livery was designed for?
It's the same principle that you can add a Lamborghini Huracan GT3 livery to your collection, but if you only have the Gr.4 version then it won't be available for selection in the livery changer.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. I think it is probably a glitch/bug which means it will be there until we get the next bug fix or content update...
