I noticed that the stock GT86 uses 6 Kg/mm spring hardness for front suspensions and 2 Kg/mm for rear suspensions. I feel there's something wrong with this, but it might have to do with suspension geometry (still I'm not sure that GT5 has that much detail - chances are that stock suspension settings for this car aren't working like they're supposed to).

I really slams the back too often... noticed that too!
 
If I missed this previously posted, sorry... but I noticed you can get prize cars from previous seasonal events you completed in all gold simply by going into the event.

Also the penalites working in Free Run is great, no more fake pole laps.
 
When you click someone's name in 'Community', the Photo and Track icons will now be highlighted if that user has any Photos/Tracks uploaded. No more wasting time checking if the user has or hasn't uploaded pics/tracks.

Nice, this is actually something I thought would be good to implement, but never thought they would do it. This update just keeps getting better.:)

Do you mean Special events e.g. Mercedes driving academy?
 
Minor thing I noticed, there is a confirm / cancel on race restarts. This is nice for me, as I have kids and have lost many races due to accidently hitting restart instead of continue, after pausing.

That was there since 1.06. ;)
 
I'll have to check, tried to drive after the update on the Nur in behind car camera view.
The camera pivots with the turning of the car, in a strange way, A bit like room spin.
 
Last year there was a secret treat for everyone who went into GT Auto. The music changed and played jazzy versions of silent night and other christmas songs. has it returned yet?
I liked that :D

Also have they changed any of the lineups in Aspec mode. Does that pesky Jag keep turning up in the dream car(?) cup?

Bloom in photomode is back - yay
You can now turn on/off separate hud elements! - how the hell they didn't list that!?!
Filters aplied in camera mode now are seen in whole replay, not only in camera mode

I almost think it was an error from the RSX when I saw that during the replay. Thank god 👍

One more thing, the replays itself, are more dynamic now?
 
After exiting a seasonal event, you are no more kicked back to GT Life menu, you are still in Seasonal Events menu, in exact event series where you were before.
 
It also seems that they've changed the physics a little big.
Usually doing a burnout was difficult (your engine would usually stall).

But now, testing my ZR1, you can now stay still (or at least move very slowly), while burning out the wheels, which i did with racing softs. Doing burnouts is much closer to what I've seen in real life.

But there is also a bug. When you are moving forward slightly when doing a burnout, your move in the opposite direction of where you are steering (if you are steering right, you move left, and vice versa).

And although the chase cam was mentioned before, it seems that it follows your car also along the x-axis (when on a slope on Daytona, your camera would be at an angle with the car, unlike previously where only the car would be at an angle.) You can check this out by trying to flip your car at Trial Mountain (your camera would be upside down momentarily until it flips when your car is completely upside down).

And as part of the new sounds, the tire squeal has been toned down (at least from my 10 minutes of gameplay today)

And those who bought the DLC twice get the FT-86 Concept II and those who bought it three times get the Subaru BR-Z (i think, can someone confirm this last one?)

I noticed that you can now look at your garage as small or large thumbnails now instead of just a list with a tiny thumbnail. Not sure if that was there before though.
 
I was excited when I saw the HUD options.

But you still can't choose just to have the lap times and the tyre temperatures and fuel gauge. :/ You have to have the whole speedometer on, apart from the suggested brake/gear indicator, which makes it largely pointless.

I got rid of that stupid list of names and the flashing gear suggestor. I wouldn't call that pointless.

The BR-Z? Can anyone confirm this?

Apologies for the double post.
 
AI crash recovery is now much better. Put it into the wall at 130 at the end of fuji straight on real circuit seasional, and the AI took the same path as i did out of the sand and back on track with out hesitation.( sorry if someone already mentioned this )
 
That thing with the photomode effects is fickle, one session I had the cool effect for example on roof cam and bumper cam, then the next time I went out on the track it was on chase cam and interior cam. And once it's on it'll stay on until you quit back to the XMB apparently. I went back to the garage, chose a different car and track it was still there alternating cameras.

Going into photomode to take it off is pointless because while it may show when you're walking around the car, when you aim the camera it's not there, but go back to racing and it will show up.

So there you have it. Troll photomode effects...
