2.03 January Update

[cooldawn]

I'd just like some Course Maker additions.

Ok, I've said this before in other threads, and with the last update, PD did do something with oil changes, but it wasn't what was required. Oil tickets? Really? Wasted effort if you ask me, and time that could and should have been spent on something else.
What I want to see, and I could race very happily and contentedly with just this, is an oil change option added to the pre-race screen in online lounges. Right down at the bottom near where you select the car/driver options/settings. I can't count how many times I've been in a friends lounge and had to exit in order to get an oil change, then try to re-enter only to find that either a) my slot has been taken by someone else and the room is now full, or b) the server won't let me back in for whatever funky reason. It's seriously frustrating and ought to be an easy enough fix. Perhaps not, but I'd still love to see it happen.

I also agree that the Car Wash and Oil Change Tickets are a complete waste of time. Who, at this point, really doesn't have 50 credits for a car wash or 250 credits for an oil change? Especially with the new Seasonal Event where you can win up to 800,000 credits continuously in under 10 minutes! I think Polyphony should stop with the small things and work on more of the requested big things. AND STOP MODELLING MORE PRIUS MODELS! lol

Also, I have noticed more issues involving the online servers as of late other than the Shuffle Race issue. These issues include, but not limited to, invisible racers on the track, incorrect positions indicated by the driver list, more loading lag (i.e. pop up and race start black screens), amongst others. These need to be fixed.

I use the tickets mainly when I buy 20,000,000 cars. Handy when you go to 0 credits.

Agreed. A random course generate A Spec online would be awesome. Even a Rally seasonal

 

[Syaitann]

Thnx for the abs restriction, now how bout the force cockpit, force manual shift option and while at it add selective restriction eg. prohibit chassis reinforcement

Wouldnt want them to stop modelling Prius then I'll miss out on SuperGT2012 Prius GT300.

Yes, but like I said, one race can earn you up to 800,000 credits in under 10 minutes. And if you buy a car from the premium dealership, you don't need to perform any maintenance on them.

You're joking right? I guess that would be pretty funny to see.

Nevermind. Now I've seen it all.

Knowing Polyphony, they'll model it. Whether it'll be DLC or just another update (similar to the update in the NASCAR line up) will be seen. Toyota just may enter this car instead of the GT 86 in the GT300 in the 2012 season.

 

[daren newbury]

i would like paint previews before you buy not the silly little mold thing so you can see exactly what the car looks like and less nissan gtr, skylines etc more off line races would be cool too.

 

[Sele1981]

I gave up on online leaderboards... I was close to go back to GT5P but the servers are down :/

 

[Watt2159]

Rumor says that a track that is already in the game will be unlocked.

If its already ingame, how can it be unlocked?

 

[C-ZETA]

As a matter of fact, both will be in GT300 next year. Just the GT86 in the series is a BRZ, which is the same thing.

I do agree though, it is damn crazy.

On the subject of Super GT, I shall say again: PD should update the roster. And the good thing is, they only need to add one extra GT-R in, and that's the 2011 champion.

 

[RedBaron]

What about remembering the last things that are oddly reset on every game start? Such as cockpit view and "Grip reduction on grass" in pre-practice menu. Those are little things but million times repeated and therefore very annoying.

 

[Sach]

Is there an actual date set for this update?

 

[J-KiLLA24]

I don't think it's been announced yet.

 

[Nismo34]

I don't think it's been announced yet.

No, not officially announced but it has been hinted at, by PD themselves, that an update has been planned for the last half of January.

 

[Conza]

Id like the engine tuning and weight reduction to be in the current car menu, along with the current parts you can buy there save me going into that order menu just for that

 

[MrGrado]

So far we know that the next update will be the back end of January. We know it will fix the 'Shufle Race' issue. Anybody got any ideas of what else it might include?

Somehow this got turned into another wish list thread so here goes: I want an icecream van and a firetruck.

Oh, I soooo want that too! And a clown car!

I would hope they change the option to change rims on standard cars. I would like to see you can only change the wheels on premium models. That way it has more exclusivity.

Also I hope GT5 will change all premiums into standards already! 6 years and then this?! Jeez!

Most of us are going forward with this game, some are going BACK..TO THE EFFIN...WARD!

How about this ANNOYING THING.......... Get rid of the METRIC SYSTEM for weight measurment!!! Why in the hell is it in Metrics???

Whats wrong with the metric system?

 

[xSNAKEx]

I really hope this isn't the case but I wouldn't hold my breath it could be just something silly like shuffle race fix and thats it.

I'm guessing cos most of the world work in metric now? Just a thought.

It´s PD, I would not wonder if you get it

 

[Alain Prost Fan]

The main thing I want fixed is the 'black screen' issue. Too many times I've had to quit the game and then reboot the PS3. This shouldn't be happening so frequently and I'm not the only one this happens to.

Me too, always when I find a good lobby aswel, very annoying

 

[ManiacRS]

Well they can't call it ''Real'' because it is not real. So now i'm asking them to fix it and make it real. What's so difficult to understand?

I think that the weak option is very close to reality anyway... Maybe it should be a bit less for road cars and a bit more for race cars... But the name wouldn't make a difference to me.

And I also think that the rest of the ingame physics of GT5 are pretty good. As far as stock road cars on stock road tyres go, it is probably the best there is... Still, I guess there is always room for improvement... Especially with some pretty impressive stuff being announced and BETA tested as we speak...

And as for the slipstream option, I can assure you both GTR2 and GTL have more effective slipstreaming!!!! And especially GTL is one of the best sims I have ever played along with RBR.

And as for the 2.03 update wishlist... Improve the way the engine limiter works or provide us with an option to disallow it online... I know it was supposed to help with the variety of the cars allowed in each race and so on, but I have seen online things like 450PP R35 GT-Rs, 500PP Mazda Furais and of course people racing cars limited by 50 or even 100PP... And certainly disallow it in the seasonal Time Trials... They have become farsical... Like 400PP Suzuki GSX-R4s...

P.S. If you have Richard Burns Rally try the RsRBR add-ons from rallyesim... You can actually do the recce and make your own pacenotes... Epic!👍

P.S.2 Improving the way the engine limiter works would mean scaling both power and torque curves instead of just capping the power and leaving max. torque virtually unchanged... I know that it is closer to what you'd end up if you were using a race spec programmable ECU, but even so with such a setup you would be able to limit it by 10-15% not 50%...

P.S.3 Also, the centre diff. settings seem to get reset to the nearest multiple of 5 when you go on track... Change it from 65 to 63 go on track and return to the the setup screen to find it set back to 65...

Any Thread thats Titled "2.0? Update" thats NOT posted by PD is a wishlist... Atleast mines makes sense.. January 9th. Detriot Auto Show where alot of reveals will happen for America.

PD BETTER do something car related during the month of the NYC Autoshow when Dodge and SRT will debute the new 2013 Viper.. Afterall the Viper is the Production Car Record holder @ Nur-ring.

I was under the impression the Nissan gtr held that record?

 

[joetruckv8]

Hopefully they'll incorporate a tire wear setting adjuster to fix the mess they've created.

Tire wear adjuster setting would be better than them setting it to some per-determinded setting PD thinks it should be at for all races.

The Viper, I should know, I set that record.
