GT5 Update 2.09′s Improved HSV-010 Engine Sound Videos, Endurance Race Fuel Bug Acknowledged

Gran Turismo 5 Videos November 6th, 2012 by Jordan

As you have probably heard by now, GT5‘s 2.09 update launched last night and brought with it some of the most interesting changes to the game in quite some time, addressing many common player complaints, including the sound of the Honda Weider HSV-010.

Comparison videos of the car’s new engine sounds have now started to hit our forums, and offer a straightforward comparison of the changes. You’ll find two of the best examples embedded below.

Kazunori Yamauchi has also acknowledged via Twitter a critical bug introduced in 2.09, which negatively impacts car fuel consumption in endurance races in which players saved their race progress before initiating the update.

For now, the only solution is to stop or ignore the 2.09 update, or perhaps wait until the next patch is launched which will hopefully be able to remedy this issue.

As always, stay tuned to our Gran Turismo 5 forum for more community analysis and discussion.

    Yes, with most of them they’ve got a lot more work to do on car sounds. Ex: Veyron sounds terrible; nothing like the real thing.

    I downloaded this and when I went to another profile, that I was 4 hours into the Le Mans 24 hour race, and the fuel instantly drained on all cars. I tried going back around to the pits and doing it again but it wouldn’t fix itself

    But what about those of us who are in the middle of endurance event and have downloaded this update? I’m 100 laps left and right now one lap take me almost 7 minutes instead of 1 minute :-(

    if people were unhappy with the difference between the online and the offline physics engines, wouldn’t it have been cheaper and easier, and made everyone happier two choose one of the two existing PE’s to use for both than to develop a third?

      ^ People keep saying that. But, all my cars still handle differently online, than they do offline.

      They didn’t make both the same. They only changed the online slightly so it is similar to the offline one, but still isn’t an exact replica.

    Sounds are like 400x better on the cars I’ve driven so far tonight. MORE PLEASE!

    Either I just can’t get it to work right now or the Awheiler st backcloths photo glitch has been “fixed” :-( :-( :-(

    Also I seem to notice some wheels now respond to different (or correct) offset and have a better “dished” effect. Can anyone confirm these so I know I haven’t just had to much to drink or something?

    Cant belive all this moaning and sobbing, like a bunch of skirts on their period. You can get the game for around TEN dollars now.

    Its been out for a few years and packs an incredible experience for its money. The fact that you guys have a moan fest is due to addiction to crossdressing. Save up a 100$ and buy a white box with Forza in it. Enjoy your NFS physics and hillariously exaggerated car sounds.

    The HSV sound B Spec in Nordschleife, its completely out of sync, you ear the car shift up or down, and after almost a second you see the gear indicator shift up or down. I’ve done a gear box setup

    I don’t even want to talk about physics online, when the ride height don’t influence in anything its all said…
