New updated nordschleife track?

[deschrijver]

I think this track had a layout update in the GT academy game.
At the test 2-5 the first right turn seems very different, more uphill.

1. Shouldn't this be in the GT5 section?

2. The first right turn on Nordschleife is downhill, and it has always been that way.

Its gt academy so its the right thread
+ edit the first post

I think the lighting may be giving it the effect that it looks new. It's just the 24 hour layout with different lighting.

 

[deschrijver]

I think that the turn at the sandtrap was flatter in GT5.
Now it more narrow and more uphill

Feels a little different to me also

^^ Ya I noticed the lighting change as well, looks much worse to me.

What are you talking about? Lol we are talking about the section used in the GT Academy download, you should try it.

If it is updated, it doesn't seem too different to me.

You're thinking of Flugplatz which is on the other side of the track but with some similarities. You're actually driving on the Pflanzgarten.

I don't think anything is different at all. You people are insane. Sure is fun though.

 

[Jav]

Same track different lighting effects.

 

[Jubby]

Same track different lighting effects.

I agree... but I feel a bit more grip after the first dip.

And Jav... thanks for killing me more than 1/2 the time on my leaderboard. 👍

 

[mikeonthebike]

something feels or looks different about it for sure. I said it last night to my buddy when I ran it.

Speaking of the Nord, after I golded I watched the replay and the track in the replay was glitched. The track looked like one big polygon. Never seen a track glitch like that in the main game.

 

[DrKronin]

I don't think the lighting effects are really any different, it's just at dawn.

 

[Dowlin39]

Yeah I thought it had changed as well, the last turn before the finish of that section seems very different to me, longer and a more gradual turn than before, but as was already said, it could possibly be the lighting of the track but either way it definately threw me off when I approached it.

Thank you!

I tried to find out what time they set the GTA event on yesterday in Arcade Mode, and I was trying times after 19:00 . I could have figured it out, since I only tried for about 3 different laps, but now it won't take as long.

I think that apart from light (that its just normal but not so seen in online races) every thing looks the same...

 

[Aesthetiker]

Without be affected by any comment. I think i reconized a different to Gt5 in tracksurface and curb feelings while FFB works.

But my inner voice keep saying: "Its because the sections are very short and you concentrate on every little meter."

 

[ImprezaAddict]

It's the same track. If you tend to drive faster cars around the 'ring, it's probably the slower Silvia that tricks you into thinking something changed. Just a guess.

I guess the lightning hasn't changed, it's just when you're in Nordschleife Time/Weather Change mode, the lighting looks better than in normal Nordschleife, which doesn't have time/weather change. That's why I like to use the time change version of Nordschleife .

 

[yzfmike]

It is the same course as the 24 Hour Nur. Many are surprised about it because they have not used this specific version in the game, and are not going so fast, so everyone is seeing more detail. People that are doing this and have not completed the game, yet will post more threads about this. JK

 

[mercgoat]

Two new challenges here. It does seem different still imo but maybe its the light.

 

[avens]

elevation changes seem different. Maybe it has to do with lightning though.

I really hope that in GT6 the track is improved by making them closer to real life (based on youtube. In the game it's almost flat whereas irl it's a rollercoaster), and bumps are still missing.

 

[GTPorsche]

It's the same dynamic lighting time/weather change version that's in GT5.

This.

I think a majority of people that run random laps on the 'Ring don't use the time change version so now that they are actually driving on it, it seems different to them.

 

[MrSpark]

Somebody needs to get a side-by-side photo comparing the 2

 

[exiledfrenchy]

I was thinking the same when I did the challenges yesterday. Then I realized that Hatzenbach looks exactly the way it did in GT4.
Didn't PD say they reworked the Nürburgring completely for GT5? Maybe they used their old "GT4-version" for GTA for whatever reason?

I thought we were going backwards...
