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

Funny….In car view is fine (not broken).. The people who can’t/don’t use it are what’s broken..

playnthru – twat! i use in-car but in-car in 3D is broken.

i think if they used the 3D track render from bumper cam and laid a 2D premium in-car view over the top of it it would be fine. the problem seems to be they render far objects and the track side as further apart the greater the perceived distance from the car, instead of further apart the nearer they are. not sure why it looks fine rendering the 3D in all other views then. I tried the same car/track set-up on my external 2D to 3D converter and it did exactly the same thing when converting a straight 2D input from the game in that view.

@zondaman2 It’s like that in real life.

It sounds more like a Formula GT.

NEVER! The Honda Weider sounds in real life more spectacular and more brutal. I was disappointed to hear it in GT5 after the patch. 1 Euro for nothing! Polyphony Digital has to improve the sounds for GT6…
-

Some people are never pleased.

When you provide something that is inadequate, of course people aren’t going to be pleased. One of the best parts of the hsv is its incredible sound, so GT’s normal rubbish will disappoint those who want to experience that.

Watch these videos. The sound in GT5 is never awesome or realistic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCqY-vAX4EAIn GTR2 the Honda HSV-010 sounds more powerful.

I love the Weider sound especially in the Cockpit view :) If PD record the sounds and then tamper with or develop them for GT6, then ill be happy.

…and why oh why with standard car interior views have we not been given the use of windshield wipers? Ever try an endurance race in the rain without wipers? You are of course forced to use another view or a non standard car. We’re given working headlights with standards so why not wipers?
-
November 7th, 2012 at 8:07 pm - #HarVee
Because PD probably either overlooked it, or just got lazy. Regardless, I do think we might get function wipers on standard cars in Spec 3.0.
-
November 7th, 2012 at 10:48 pm - #MuoNiuLa
I didn’t know Spec 3.0 was confirmed. Oh wait…
-
November 7th, 2012 at 10:53 pm - #HarVee
I did say might, after all.
-
November 8th, 2012 at 9:39 am - #BaTsBR
Sorry harvee, bur you are the first one I saw wanting functional whipers on std cars.
-
November 8th, 2012 at 2:25 pm - #HarVee
I know, I always end up wanting things that most others do not. I’m just different that way. :p
-
November 8th, 2012 at 8:13 pm - #Amac500
For what it’s worth I want to flash my headlights on standard cars.

You can see just fine in a standard car without windshield wipers. Even when following another car it never makes visibility very bad, it’s just a little annoying. Would it be nice if they had wipers? Sure. Then again, it would be nice if the wipers on the premiums didn’t break into 2 or 3 segments while they are running. But neither should have any impact on your driving, and you most certainly are not forced to use another camera view.

“We’re given working headlights with standards so why not wipers?”
*Just to point this out, you only get lights that turn on when it gets dark in standard model cars… You don’t have control over them like in a Premium car.

anyways if you compare both of these audi R8 race cars together the only one with a clear interior dashboard is the red, white and blue one. But the cockpit is identical to the blurry out of focus yellow / red and silver ones… why wouldn’t both be of the same quality graphically???
-
November 7th, 2012 at 8:05 pm - #HarVee
Because PD overlooked it.
-
-
November 7th, 2012 at 7:43 pm - #BHalpen
Yes @QuikSlvr223 the silver/yellow and red audi R8 were in gt4 but I’m talking in gt5 those standard (open top) race cars were all given interior cockpit views. It’s the close top standard race cars that still only have the black cut out shadow interior views.

Am I the only one peeved that
The [Tire/Fuel Consumption] settings under [Event Settings] of the Online Lounge can now be set in four levels; “None”, “Normal”, “Fast”, and “Very Fast”.
Is ONLINE only?Would love to do this in Arcade mode… especially as the two physics models are now the same…

I am too. And FYI, it’s always been one model. It performs differently on and offline.

Gran Turismo 5: The Real Update Simulator
-
November 7th, 2012 at 8:51 pm - #HarVee
Believe or not, GT5 is actually the most updated game in history, alongside The Sims 3.
-
November 7th, 2012 at 9:50 pm - #AERO_HDT
No HarVee, I think Dota is the most updated game in history.
-
November 7th, 2012 at 11:05 pm - #HarVee
^ I meant to put the words “one” and “of” between ‘actually’ & ‘the’. But you are correct though, DotA has a larger update history than those two games combined.

…Second thing I’d like to see in the next update is finally a pit crew for Tskuba.

What a frustration. I am facing difficulty to update. It goes 50% and then an error occurs. I am almost giving up
-

@Divaldo
That’s a problem that has been affecting us since the GT5 Prologue era. I wonder why is this the only game that has problems updating?
Thankfully I didn’t have any problems with this update. But I remember v2.07 taking a few tries before it worked.
Just keep trying. Eventually it will go al the way through.

@HuskyGT
You forgot Need for Speed: Shift. Especially with the bigger updates, my PS3 would error all the time. -
November 8th, 2012 at 6:07 am - #Divaldo
Finally I did it. I needed to set up my internet connection. (error 80710736)

I’ve never had any trouble updating this game, ever. Get some real internet connectivity, stop stealing your neighbor’s Wi-Fi :P

One thing I’d like to see in an update next are a visual fix of the audi R8 race car (silver and red / yellow) cockpit is so blurry. Yet, the exact same audi R8 race car (red, white and blue) has a completely in focus dashboard.
-

My 1st impression of the new sound was bad until I watched some real life footage of the HSV and it is surprisingly similar. Best sounding car in GT5 is still the z4m with a sports exhaust though.

November 7th, 2012 at 4:59 pm - #carfanatic45
I love MotogamesTV, and that sound is amazing(for GT5)
-
November 7th, 2012 at 3:46 pm - #HondaS800
How does it sound in a replay?
-
November 7th, 2012 at 3:23 pm - #BHalpen
as far as the cockpit camera, the wide view setting seems to be more zoomed in than before 2.09 and well less wide if anything. On my same TV screen as before I no longer have a full sized rear mirror, even if it now isn’t blank like it was in 2.08
-
November 7th, 2012 at 2:51 pm - #HarVee
Anyone else noticed that after this (2.09) update, Chevrolet now has 17 cars listed as available for purchase at level 40, despite only a total 16 cars actually being available within the dealership?
-
November 7th, 2012 at 1:54 pm - #iaianstg
How aboht they fix b-spec so i can run at côte d’azur without all that crashing. Or maybe i gould do something useful with my lvl 40 drivers other then grind for cash. Yes i am ranting.
-
November 7th, 2012 at 1:59 pm - #another_jakhole
Wrong thread.
-
November 7th, 2012 at 3:18 pm - #biftizmo
Lower your gear ratio…this will cure crashing of the wall on cote de’zore..be spec requires the same setup as you would when raceing..
-
November 7th, 2012 at 11:15 pm - #BFBullpup
Monaco and the oval races are the only ones that seem to require careful coaching. Make sure your driver stays at blue (opposite of excited) and pray he doesn’t try to overtake in one of the handful of dangerous spots after the tunnel and before the finishing straight.

gave the 3D Improvements a good look over last night, not much to report, the in-car premium view is still broken, you can either have the car dash focused or the track but not both, weird as in every other view it’s just fine, bumper cam, roof cam etc etc. The replays do look a bit better, and i think they adjusted the gamma setting when you flick to 3D mode as things seem slightly more washed out.
