      The new patch is out. 1.11

      A new update for Gran Turismo 7 has been released. The following is a list of the main features introduced.

      Improvements and Adjustments

      - Adjusted the rewards for Arcade races and Custom Races

      2.Circuit Experience
      - Rewards are now provided when clearing all layouts of circuits in Gold or Bronze results. If you have already achieved these results, going into the sector selection screen and exiting with the Exit button will award the prize.

      3.Lobby / Sports Mode
      - The amount of rewards in Lobbies and Daily Races has been increased.
      - Corrected an issue where spectating while entered in a race in the Lobby did not allow you to switch to the spectator camera.
      - Changed the Nations Cup and Manufacturer Cup so that the Helmet thumbnail specific to the championship is displayed.
      - When the room mode is set to ‘Practice/Endurance Race’, adjusted the finish timing when the course setting is set to ‘Time limit’.
      - Changed the camera movements before races start in Daily Races when the starting method is set to Formation.

      4.Mission
      - Added ‘The Human Comedy’ to Missions, containing 1-hour endurance races. ‘The Human Comedy’ will become playable when the player’s Collector’s Level is 23. Each endurance race event will award up to 1.2 million Cr. per event.
      - Race information such as the Starting Grid, number of laps or time limit, starting method, etc. are now displayed in the Race event Quick Menu of Missions.
      - Best records for time limit events and Friend Ranking Records are now saved and displayed in the format of [Ranking/Number of Laps]
      - Rankings have been reset for the following Time Limit events*
       ・Gone With the Wind - High Speed Ring 30 min.
       ・The Sun Also Rises - Le Mans 24 min.
       ・The Sun Also Rises - Bathurst Gr. 3 Battle

      *Already existing best records will only display the ‘Ranking’. Once the same or better result record has been set, it will be saved in the format of ‘Ranking/Number of laps’. For Friend Rankings, if a Bronze or better result is set, it will be saved even if the result is lower than the best record.

      5.Game Progression
      - Raised the maximum cap for earned in-game credits to 100 million Cr.
      - New ‘Invitations’ received hereafter will have a time limit of 30 days, instead of 14 days.

       ・Subaru WRX Gr.B Road Car
       ・Ferrari F430 '06
       ・Ferrari F8 Tributo '19

      9. Car Physics Simulation
      - Improved physics when landing from a jump, mainly on dirt tracks.
      - Corrected an issue where the value of the vehicle speed displayed on the speedometer of other players in online races sometimes differed from the actual vehicle speed.
      - Corrected an issue where after-fire would not stop during certain operations after tuning the muffler of a Toyota Prius G '09 and Toyota Aqua S '11.

      10.Car Settings
      - Changed the anti-lag system setting from ON/OFF to 3 settings, OFF/Weak/Strong.
      - Corrected an issue where if you open the car settings after selecting a part in the Tuning Shop but cancelling without purchasing it, it would blank out the created setting sheet name and the settings would be reset.

      - Corrected the graphics drawing of smoke when seen through car windows

      15.Replays
      - Until now, the control menu appeared using any button on the controller, but this has been changed so that it will now only appear when using the confirm and cancel buttons.

      16.Sound
      - Music will now be played back in Surround Sound when the audio output mode is set to ‘7.1 ch Surround’ output.

      22.Steering Controllers
      - Allocated features to extra buttons that become available when attaching replacement wheels such as the Fanatec Club Sport Steering Wheel Formula V2 on the Fanatec GT DD Pro*.

        Re: Gran Turismo 7 Review - A Legacy of Love on Display

        After going through and collecting all my new rewards for the circuit experiences, about 7 golds and 5 bronze, I went from 2.1 million to 12 million [emoji4].

        Also for those interested, the used car lot went from having 18 cars to having 30 cars. While the legendary lot went from 5 to 10.

          Definitely good changes in the right direction. Watching someone on YouTube cover some of the race payouts, you do get more variety in what you can run to get a million credits in an hour.

          I'd argue that the economy still needs some work though. He bought one car that would require 7 hours of grinding at these new rates which is a still absurd. To me that should be more like 3-4 hours to buy a single high end exotic car (not far off from where things were pre economy nerf patch).

          Huge improvement from where we were after that huge economy nerf though.

            The dynamic weather feature in this game really shines in longer races featuring tire wear / fuel management / pit stops.

            This is the first AAA game I can remember playing where the weather radar is a legitimate and useful game mechanic. I got caught with my pants down on Red Bull Ring trying to do a one-stop strategy and had to bail out of a race after my racing slicks got soaked and I ended up in a wall on consecutive corners. When I then tried to redo the race, I intentionally pitted early to get IM tires on my car thinking the rain was scripted to happen, but then the rain never showed up. I just ended up limping around the track for the rest of the race because it turns out IM tires burn out real fast in clear conditions.

            I've never felt so fooled by a video game lol.

              So while ray tracing vs. performance seems to be only non-gameplay areas, such as replays and whatnot, actual gameplay is always 60 fps regardless of mode ... correct?


              My eyes haven't spotted a difference.

                Correct gameplay is always at 60 fps. I've only noticed the difference when really zooming in or during certain shots of the interiors.

                -----------

                Overall still loving the game, it will definitely be near the top of most played games of the year. A little over a month after release and I've put in 130+ hours. Collected 26% of cars, bought 3 of the cheaper legend cars, completed 104 online races (53 clean), got promoted to DR C then sent back down to D after only 3 races (5th, 8th and 15th place finishes)

                The online race payouts could still use a bump as could the amount when setting up custom races. Roulette tickets still need adjusting as constantly landing on the lowest prize is BS. Hope they add more city tracks in the updates along with more normal everyday cars. As much fun as it is to drive race cars part of the fun of GT has always been tuning up boring car and taking it on the track. Could also go for a fully customizable HUD.

                  Haven't had much time to play this last week but I finally bit the bullet and got my first rig. Spent most of the weekend putting it together and trying to get the man cave and rig setup up the way I want it. Ended up getting the Next Level Racing F-GT. Miles better that that little Amazon stand I've been using. Ready to grind out some races now.[emoji869][emoji869]

                          I'm disappointed by the game. It makes it really tough to swallow because there is so much that is great about the game but the offline career mode is just a dud.

                          I remember the older GTs where you spend so much time with your cars that you develop a relationship. And the decision on when to buy a different car was a big decision. But with this menu book trash you swap out cars every 3 races and it takes away any feeling of progression.

                          Initially I thought the menu books served as a tutorial of sorts to highlight different parts of the game and I kept thinking to myself "maybe after this menu book the real career mode will open up" but it just kept going.

                            As a veteran GT Player that has been playing since the very first game, I did manage to beat the gold time on this test with the DS4 controller. It was certainly not the easiest thing to do, but I did manage to find that enabling the driving line instead of the driving markers made most of the difference for me on this one rare instance! And remember to follow this driving line almost as close as possible because the moment you slide outside of this line, you will get on the wet surface and lose most if not ALL of your available grip!

                              Finally had my first crack at this one tonight. They really set you up and get you comfortable with the 3 before this one with 3 straight cars that are just on rails then they throw this at you. Lol

                              It took me about an hour but just barely got gold with a 2:25.951 with no TC and no racing line. I'd say I have another 1 to 1.5 sec in me but I'll save that for another day. Lol

                              I need to go back now an get gold on IA-10 and I'll have gold on every test.

                                Knocked out IA-10 over the weekend. Always struggled with Nordschleife so took me a good while to nail this one but have gold on all the tests now.
