Sony Confirms a Four-Day Demo for GT Sport

Where exactly are the advanced wheel options? I use a G29 + shifter and can't find anything about calibration, clutch, shifting... I would like to use the H shifter for cars with stick trannies and the paddles for cars with sequential boxes. Is this possible?
 
Just like the first beta, I get that wonderful feeling like I'm actually any good at the game...when I'm going up against scrubs. I know I'll be mid-pack at best when I get the driver level up. For some reason, I wasn't given credit for my win in the achievements.
 
Had a quick play last night. It actually came online earlier than stated. I was able to launch it around 11:00 PM PST and the servers came online about 11:30 allowing me to upload saves. Looks really good so far, was late so I only ran one qualifier with a controller (and I don't drive controller :-)) but the visuals are quite stunning, this is really where GT has the edge on the others. Running in HDR mode on a 55" OLED I could have just sat there all night watching the demo videos.

A bit early to review but liked what I saw so far, HUGE improvement over GT6 in so many ways. Replay functionality finally what we always wanted, slow motion, frame-by-frame ... REWIND :-) The lap timing is great too albeit copied from PCARS2 where it shows a continuous delta against best/previous lap. Ghost car is present and accounted for and looks good (better than PCARS2 poorly rendered ghost cars).

I've now played FM7, PCARS2 and GTS and GTS looks the best. Very impressed with driving physics in PCARS2 and had some good races against the albeit rather timid bots, but even comparing PCARS2/FM7 on a PC with a 1080Ti versus GTS on a PS4-Pro GTS is still is the best looking of the three IMHO. FM7 looks nice too but the Mario Kart physics make it pretty unuseable if you're a serious racer.

There is slow motion?
 
Interestingly enough you can buy the Corvette GR.3 Road Car using mileage points, I think I found my first target. Off I go!!!! There is the M4 Safety Car up for sale in the mileage store too, special cars cannot be bought with credits. Hmm, I better not see a hint of Microtransactions popping up later...SONY!

Bummer you cannot buy anything at all, only random prize cars are allowed. Shakes fist at screen!!!
 
Still isn't up in S.E. asia, and we only get up to 13th october...

Ok, the demo is accessible via the main game page. The link in the "what's hot" column doesn't work.

If they put microtransactions in GTS.............
 
Yeah, I was playing and sudden Server Maintenance pops up. Really liking the GUI, I never played the Beta so this is all new to me.
