GT6 Update 1.09 (Undocumented Changes in OP) >Lock<

[gregorius93]

I'm expecting that we will get R18 E-Tron. I don't know why, but I think there is a possible to get this car on next update.

 

[Aussie_HSV]

Yep, I noticed it because there are now two manufacturers on the last row.

Nice.
I'm not updated, but there's only 28 to be found on the website.
I'm guessing, from memory, that there are 2 Mercedes tabs (making up the final lost one).

 

[mistersafeway]

My guess is the mini will be a big car , or they could shock us and come up with a retro styled light weight car that resembles the good old minis of the 60s and 70s but slightly modernised

A small Mini?! Such a thing is illogical!

I mean it has 'vision' in it's name!

Volkswagen VGT can be painted.

I made a thread especially for this MINI VGT Please speculate there

Anyway, great find X-DEVIL7675 !!! Have some cookie

 

[acascianelli]

I would have liked if they added more street cars, but at this point I'll take what I can get. Nice to see new cars and tracks being added for free.

- Signal Starts are now enabled on tracks with signals.

Any more information on this? Does it pertain to racing online or just offline (which would be a bit useless)?

What it means is that the Signal Lamp at the track is now working.

Try the X2014 FanCar Challenge at Monza for example. At start, focus on the Signal Lamp.

@ukfan758
The bottom of the Toyota appears not to have a modeled underside...

99.9% sure it is modeled. as its just flat for aerodynamic purpose.

 

[fortbo]

Updates like this make me truly appreciate GT. We just got 3 cars and 2 track layouts for what price? Oh that's right it was free. An update like this would cost at least 5 bucks with most other games.

It's drivable now!!!!!!
They mended it

to be fair with the right setup. it was drivable.

I'm online concerned with online racing. If it doesn't work online then I'll probably never see it.

EDIT: And no, I won't be driving a Red Bull X car, thank you.

(1) The dynamics of the car on surfaces with cornerstones and bumps have been improved

What do this actually mean? Only thing I don't understand with this update

maybe less stupid rollover when using cornerstones
and for bumps, no stupid behavior like lifting the rear and stand on the nose on tracks like cape ring, nurburgring or cote d'azur

i hope it's that

perhaps it reacts like you would expect it to in real life.

I would presume that the physics have been altered when you drive over rumble strips at the side of the road or bumps (for example the run off at the Spa chicane) to make the car react more - I haven't updated, but I would imagine that is what it's done.

As it stands the rumble strips don't unsettle the car very much at all, not very realistic IMHO

Edit: Tree'd twice

 

[wprpalmeida]

Did anyone test the 3D mode to see if the hideous vertical transparent lines are still present?

Btw, did anyone ever suspect or indicate that the Red Bull Ring was coming to GT? I personally haven't seen anything until two days ago. It's quite nice to see that they can keep information confidential and release a track out of thin air. Hopefully the next one is Interlagos

 

[DesignationG]

Another line of text that should be amended

 

[BrandonW77]

Possible change in the PP calculation. My 500pp GT40 is now at 493. My 599pp M5 is now at 597pp. I know those specifically because of the Seasonals.

Just want to be sure you're not in need of an oil change. It is possible that some of the cars have had PP's tweaked, it's happened before. Just wanted to clarify. If the PP's did change, hopefully this isn't going to cause a problem getting cars into "tuning prohibited" races (which has been an issue in the past).

 

[Ameer67]

Here's a short a clip of the lights: (They're kinda hard to see.)



@TheProRacer, you might wanna add the video (or link to the vid) to the OP so people know what "Signal Starts" are.

I think you're right, none of my pp values have changed.

 

[SNAILZ]

Audi R8 Ultra handling is fixed now. I had the car before the update, and I had to 'Default' my "old default" suspension.

The new default setting added more rear camber, and this shows that camber is fixed as well, since rear camber now increases stability.

Suspension feels more compliant with my short time driving with GTI VGT, TS030, 97T and R8. Might be placebo, but I think flipping cars at kerbs are difficult now.

IKR.
Previously in GT5, PD charged 1 Dollar Each for a HSV, GTR Academy, and a BRZ.

Perhaps the explanation for this is that PD/Kaz also felt GT6 not different enough from GT5. So they add more free features and also cars.

I also think that those 3 cars (Not sure about that livery swap GTR) are actually modeled from launch like Senna's Lotus (opening movie).

Its sad to think everyone is getting overly excited because the dlc is free.. it all should be free like it used to be and anything paid goes into the 'expansion.' Developers have been half assing their games so they can nickel and dime you with stuff that should have been included on release or as a free thank you for supporting us..

Hats off to PD for giving us little freebies while we wait on the things that are late. 👍

Thanks Ameer. I'm guessing this was offline? It's a nice addition, but kinda pointless with the artificial lights still displayed on the screen. Not complaining, just hoped it would be more effective.

Online. I don't even think you can do false starts offline.

Dont think those lines will be going anywere. PS3 doesnt have the grunt to show GT6 in fullhd 3d - or then its just the passive 3d tvs with interlanced 3d.. do these exist in active 3d? anyone?

I do think the game looks absolutely horrible in a big screen passive 3d (tested once on 55" with 3d on..) - almost unplayable with the striped screen.. back to PS2 or worst...

Thanks Ameer. I'm guessing this was offline? It's a nice addition, but kinda pointless with the artificial lights still displayed on the screen. Not complaining, just hoped it would be more effective.

Are the artificial lights still there if hud is turned off?

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Many GTPlanet members on 1.09, especially for the TS030 arriving.

lmao!

Couldn't agree more, DLC should be free. People are raving about all the DLC that Forza has been getting, but have you seen the price they charge? Crazy times.

I am curious about it being free like it used to be... We never used to get it at all as it would be a subsequent disc.
