Hi,

One more fix I noticed:

- Autobacs ARTA Garaiya (SUPER GT) ‘08 exhaust sounds OK now even when Turbo is added. (Before the patch the exhaust sound was almost gone when adding Turbo upgrades)

I hope they will add more HUD options, so we can pick what info is shown on the HUD.

Cheers!

When i logged in it said that i got 6 museum cards but i didnt see anything about getting any paint colors? Are there any stipulations on getting the paint colors? Maybe i just didnt notice and I did get them... Im at work now so cant check till later.

One thing I've noticed is the improvement in shadows while playing B-Spec, There is significant improvement, Still not perfect but a huge improvement.

Getting 5 museum cards and 5 paint items every 24H.
Maybe it's a level thing? Am at level 27 now.

Yesterday, I don't remember it saying anything about colors but when I checked my paints I had 5 colors I had never seen before, so, you could check your paints.

EDIT: Just logged in, got the message about museum cards and checked my paints, 6 new ones. So, if you don't get any message about the paints, check there. Now I'm just 79 paints away from the trophy.

This update seems like a "Time Saver" pack. I mean, paints everyday, All Nurburgring variations unlocked, more credits from races, Online Dealership with rare cars in it, Online races that give out LOTS of experience and credits. Kaz did say he was going to give us something to help those who were struggling to progress in the game. This would be that Christmas present.

I´m quite astonished by the fact, that people keep complaining about GT5 all the time. And now with this 1.05 update many things improved also im my eyes as many already posted here in this thread.
I also noticed sound improvements, shadow improvements and sometimes I even think they have even improved physics.
Overall GT5 is so much fun and now with the update even more so. :)
I´m at lvl 22 play with a G25 and usually play rfactor, live for speed and netkar pro and I still think GT5 is so good, by just firing up the ps3 and just enjoy a fantastic game without having to think abot wheel setups etc as in the former mentioned games. Of course netkarpro or lfs might be in some ways more "realistic" but GT5 is just a fantastic experience.
just my 2ct
 
Sounds good... *curses how my ps3 is not on-line*

16 in arcade mode though - woah...

I still wish for a feature to pick opponents for arcade mode...
 
All the little improvements have made this game a lot more enjoyable. Thanks PD!

One more patch like this and all the gaming publications will need to go back and re-review the game.
 
I want to thank to PD that they changed the bumper view in 1.05!!! It´s 100% better now! How?

All premium cars simulated the cockpitview without cockpit if you choose the bumper view. So you´ve got 1 meter to the car in front of you and you hit him already even if you used the bumper view...

Now (at least in the FIAT 500 event) it´s perfect and exactly like it was in GT5P. I did not try the other cars but hope they fixed that for all premiums.

What is really bugging me is that in arcade mode we can't pick ANY of the 1031 cars that are in GT5. Is it really that hard to do? I know some of you might sugget to select the favourite cars in gt life then use them in arcade but it's very long to do, one car at the time :ouch:

Just sort ALL cars by manufacturer just like the premium car dealership! It's very boring to scroll from Fiat 500 to Zonda R :dunce:

Second that. And the ability to choose time/weather condition (at least for the start). Tires on "favorites" also, i noticed you are stuck with the default mount.
Overall, great update.

I asked someone who works (or worked, dunno) for Codemasters and I asked why they removed exactly that feature from ToCA Race Driver and he told me that the manufacturers didn't want to see that. Don't ask me why though.
 
Awesome! Thanks for the info! What an amazing patch! Kudos to Kaz!

Depending on how hard you hit something the car will get weak or stronger mechanical damage ending up in light control issues or devastating control interference and small power loss of acceleration and top speed issues.
It's also related to what part of your car gets damaged. All tires (suspension) separately and the engine itself.
Damaged suspension can be also seen visually. The related tire will wobble more stronger or weaker depending on the strength of damage.
A damaged engine will have a broken engine sound. Misfiring, gear not changing fast enough etc.

Visual damage doesn't seem to change any aerodynamic behaviour or cooling at all.

In general, visual damage occur more intense now and with corrected scratches and dents texture.

The AI can also suffer from mechanical damage and will pit stop to repair the damage.

in relation to the patch and custom menu music...

Ive set it up, plays my music, but then after a race it reverts to the original menu music (which drives me insane!!)

i set it up again, works, then same problem.

is this happening to anyone else? any solutions or is it just bugged

anyone?
 
Maybe it is because I have not raced on the Indy oval much, but I am noticing quite a lot of pop in on the main straight. Pit stands or something are poping into place very late, almost as I drive past. On other tracks I am also noticing pop in, but not quite as bad. What it like that before?
 
STILL no Laguna in the list of tracks onilne :grumpy:

Why? You only get one shot at a first impression. As much as I love the patch work coming out it wasn't part of release. Also , since some people aren't connected they wont have these patches so they'd be reading a false review.
 
Im with t.o on this one. Revisiting reviews would only positively reinforce this whole "release garbage today and *MAYBE* patch it if too many people complain tomorrow" attitude that the gaming industry seems to have adopted. These studios need to be punished for putting in the bottom line of effort (not PD specifically, all studios these days). Nothing will make customers actually think about a purchase like a bad review. I believe all titles should be reviewed in full as they are on the disc, not after patches.
 
1.05 breaks the game startup. If I exit the game I have to turn off my PS3 to start the game again or I will get a blank screen with my PS3 not responding.
 
One thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is that all three layouts of the Nurburgring will unlock at level 15 (or possibly 16) without completing any of the AMG events. I don't know if the Top Gear track would have unlocked that way as well, as I'd unlocked it through the event.

I think the user music may be buggy...I used it before and I got game crashes...after the game freezes my file system got corrupted....Im not sure it was custom music but I read some threads that think it is.....I dont use custom music anymore!

Because some of them would never get any exposure...

The higher profile cars would be the ones choosen all the time. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Its all advertising, of course they want their car in front of the gamer, putting their name and logo into their mindset.

Bugs the crap outta me too 👎 Also when it is working, it only works in some menus and not others 👎

Unless they do what they did with prologue and roll up a lot of the updates in a "spec III" disk release of the game.
