No racing in Sport mode tonight as it was time to learn the new physics. With this new update I decided to turn off the TC in the options as I thought that if I need to re-learn the physics, might as well learn to drive with no TC.

I used the Huracan at Road Atlanta so I have a baseline of sorts on what to expect. First, the car really like to kick out the back end of the car when breaking as mentioned above by others. I eventually moved the BB towards the back (2) and that helped so far. I had a few tank-slappers when over-correcting too much and having some spins. It was something to have the car do that the first time. It's still good to experience that so I don't do it again.

It might be because I turned the TC off, but I am sliding a bunch in the exit of turn 1 and turn 5. It also might be because I'm not as smooth and/or too early on the loud pedal as I should be on corner exit. I'm losing time there, but I still got my time down to a 1:24.697. I didn't try any other car types yet and I'll try a bunch this weekend when I have some time. Other than that I don't have any complaints so far about the update.

Well, whenever you do return to racing, best of wishes to you and lots of positive energy and luck. I think it'll take a while for all of us to get used to the fixed changes. I gotta go to bed now, bye. I can't wait until Saturday evening to have some gt7 fun in sport mode.

That doesn’t seem right. Your back is kicking out because the rears are locking up before the fronts. +2BB should make your problem worse.

It seems to work for me. Perhaps I got used to the new braking and thought that moving the BB to the rear "helped" like a placebo effect.
 
First race of the day and a win 🏆 1 more and I'm back to DR A .

Edit: I am just completely baffled about the penalty system in this game 🤬 Last race and on lap 1 I picked up the usual first lap Eau Rouge penalty, I stuck to the left hand side of the track to give the guy next to me preference for the chicane at the end of the kemmel straight as I knew there was no point defending when he was already halfway alongside me. He went in too hot and went over the kerb and came back on 90 degrees across me in a split second and I get a 4 second penalty....WTF like 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ not a hope in hell would I have avoided him. Anyway, that was a total of 5 seconds and back to p13. I recovered to finish 6th

What’s everyone’s controller settings? I’m on a gtddpro and have steering sensitivity 5 torque 5 feedback 5, anyone got anything different?

Got spa down to 2.20.6

Controller sensitivity: 5
Torque: now depends on the car for Gr3/4 I have it now 6-8 some road cars 10 now

Feedback: 1

I have custom wheel base settings as well
 
Trying out Road Atlanta in QT for the first time, Jesus's it's a hard nut to crack... I don't think I like it at all 🤣🤣 will give it another hour. I'm stuck at 1:26 in the Vantage, tried the 650 but I couldn't get on with that at all. Might give the 458 a go as I like that on other tracks. Must watch a track guide and see can I improve my dismal times
 
Hey guys, hope you are all having a great summer (winter if you are down under) so far. Summer (Goodwood FoS was fun!) and real life means I was away from GT7 for the last 3 weeks (even longer for daily races) but at least I am back in time for the v1.49 update.

@AdxRE 😮💪

Awesome time! Glad to see the 650 up there!

Thanks man, that was literally the first thing I did after the update so that I can get a sense of the change of tyre and suspension physics as it wasn’t that long ago that we had an exact same combo in Time Trial (Gr.3 on RH at Spa). Currently my lap time is exactly the same as the TT pre-update (2:18.0) but I should be able to take another 0.5 off once I get used to the changes.

Impression so far (Gr.3 McLaren, RH)
  • Car feels more powerful, now I hit 165mph by the end of Kemmel straight instead of 162mph before (Nothing compare to the 168mph that the Supras are doing)
  • Lateral tyre grip is reduced especially the fronts. I definitely needed to get on the throttle later at Gauche. This change seems to reward more dedicated steering/throttle control as the car car just doesn’t respond well when being thrown into the corners any more
  • FFB on my GT DD Pro seems to be less filtered that I can now feel the lost of lateral grip of the front end
  • The car now reacts/more sensitive to bumps/curbs and weight transfers. Again this should reward smoother driving in general
  • I cannot get trail braking to work as well as pre-update. Under the same brake pedal setting and BB (3 to the rear) the car just do not turn-in as well as before

Here is the lap, and you can see me struggle quite badly at Les Fagnes. Please let me know what you think about my observation so far. I was 0.3s up my pre-update time in sector 1 alone, but lost it all in sector 2.

 
Well, last night I did my first race of the week (daily C with the Jag)
I loved the new physics. This changes are the most significant that we had in this game so far IMO.

Road Atlanta is a track in wich I always felt pretty weak because of my inconsistence through the esses.
Now, after the update I can travel that part of the track with a confidence that I never had!
I cant tell if this is because the new weight transfer system, the new way of braking or a combination of both. I only know that this update worked perfectly for me.

Sadly, I dont have lap time records from before the update to compare against myself.

On this race I started from P13, did a 12-1 stint and finished in P7.
I Know that Im not fast enough yet (1 second slower from the FL of the race) but Im very happy with the consistence... now I have to find some pace :lol:

Wow, no Eiger. I am surprised. Actually it's PD so I am not surprised.

B probably Gr4 and C probably Gr3. RH tire and 5x wear means the mandatory stop is likely just a formality. Lame-o.
Apologies, my eyesight is bad. It's actually saying RMs for the mountain in race C.
The run from Skyline down to Forrest's Elbow should be "entertaining" with these physics and worn tyres.

Can someone tell me what lap times people are now doing the TTs for daily b & C on the new physics please?

My Daily B is 2.20.8
Daily C 1.25.7
 
Not as confident as I used to be. Don't know if that's because I am still getting used to the new physics or I am just plain slower in general.
I wasn't here for the first half of the week and trying yesterday to set some QT times there is no way I can hit those times with new physics.

I am definitely slower but I also think lap times are in general and that my new slower times are relative to my normal quick times.

Edit: @Roggers for C 1:24.7 in the 650

I'd have been targeting a :23.8 before the update

Don't have a lap before the update

Yeah I'm not confident at all since the change. Braking is all over the place. I don't have a proper load cell so between 40%-0% the brakes are either on/off/some where between. I can modulate the brake at all and I believe this is what's killing my times.
On throttle too I'm a bit hesitant

Yeah this the first time I'm doing daily TT so I have nothing to compare too, plus it difficult to know which times are new or old physics.

On the Digit Racing site you can filter the leaderboard times to the last 24 hours.

I don't have load cells either, still using the G29 pedals. You definitely have to be much more precise with braking now - both in pressure and location on the track - throughout the whole braking process. I swear if you brake .05" seconds too late it translates to .250" seconds lost. Especially since the cars feel like there is no longer ABS they just want to slide.

This is speaking from a Gr3 perspective, but thus far I think the new physics are worse than the old ones. FFB is fine, tire wear is fine, everything is fine but the braking feels off. Hopefully that changes in time.

I did a couple race Bs yesterday on the alt. My lap times in the Porsche were like a second+ off the purple lap (Supra). Don't know how that translates from car-to-car anymore but not very promising.

Nice tip, torque on 7 defo gives me more feel on the wheel and control, only racing the Porsche which I find quite balanced - reckon I’ll dip into the 2.19 with a good tail wind!
 
My Daily B was an 19.00 in the Renault before the change; I've not tried it again after. Seems Supra is META now as it's OP on the straights AGAIN.

Yeah totally see more Supras now but not sure about anyone else but I also see a bunch of folk losing it on acceleration all over the place, the Porsche seems a little more forgiving

I reckon medium tyres would stick better and feel better, let’s hope there is more use of those in the coming weeks
 
What's your current settings with 1.49? I'm in the process of changing mine and I thing I messed everything up so I am back to the drawing board.
I'm using my ones from before just trying to figure out what to change to stop the clipping/juddering when I understeer. When I dial that out I'll post the new one but the current are (suggestions welcome)

SEN Auto
FFB 100
FFS Peak
NFR 15
NDP 10
Int 10
FEI 100
SPR20
DPR 50
BRF 70

Feeling the same regarding the brakes. Almost feels like there is some underlying changes with the brake pedal travels vs braking power correlation with my trail braking feeling completely off and with 0 consistency.

I did do one Race B in the McLaren and my race pace was around 2s per lap off Gloty in the Supra (The fast guy who always appear in Tidgney's Daily Race video), him into 2:17's and mine at 2:19.3. I reckon around 1 sec per lap is on the car and the rest is down to me running out of talent.

I have the G29 but I have a truebrake mod in it. It's definitely better than the standard brake and does help with trial braking, but just can't do it in the new physics at all.

Just not enjoying this update so far
