Hi guys, i just woindered what was done with the update.

When the update came out my online racing has quite frankley gone to pot in a big way. I could before decide to do a "quick" lap or not, i had full controll of the car ( to my skill level which is ltd ) but that said i new practise on the tracks would improve me, but always could decide the speed on the lap i wanted to save tyres or not..

Now the car seems to have less control, grip and if i play with the abs or Tc it seems to nothing like it did before, and its all i can do to do my best lap in every lap. No more of taking it easy it just dosnt work like any more the cars feel and controll has gone completly!!

Overall im at apoint ive really just hate this game now since this update and cannot for the life of me understand what has changed to make the tyres feel so slippy..

Not to mention turning does no way feel anything like im trying to do with the pad..As for the wheel GT, well the drives locks at 180 and tbh i have given up with the wheel now, i have no idea what settings to be on or how to change it, but now its boxed and only come out for F1..

Any advice or help would be most welcome, as i loved this game and the races i had with my mates, although i once was a really good driver within our group i am no where near what i was..
 
Not sure much changed with the drivability. What have you been playing in between then and now. Maybe your used to a more arcadish game.
 
Are you talking about Spec II? One thing that may have happened with the 3 tuning sheets is you may not be on the right tuning sheet so check and make sure it's the same tune you used before the update. There was a slight difference in physics I think but nothing that is as drastic as you are experiencing.
 
Well we tend to use the standard cars for online racing and thats where i have found more issues, they seem to have gone so bad..even the supra. I tend to use the Taka Dome, and its still seems simular but not the same, but it has been well set up..

Jonny spec II?
As for tuning, just the basic set up you can use on standard set cars, for eg the ads for bracking and grip certainly isnt giving me the same outcome as before..

GT5 2.0 (aka: Spec II) = "The Update"

yup since that one... For me the game isnt the same and the cars dont seem to have the control or grip that it did. I dont belive its more realistic at all.. but thats my point of view..

Has much change with the dynamics then?
 
What are you using. DS3 or steering wheel? I honestly didn't see any difference in driving physics since the update.
 
Also make sure you are using the correct tires.
 
On both the pad and the wheel.. Yes Tyres are selected correctly..

Well maybe it must been my driving style or somthing. If you guys, who really know the game far better than myself are not seeing any differences, then maybe the minor ones i seemed get the benifit from have gone, i just need to try and re-drive and practise more..

Yes there was, and if anything it made it more forgiving. But it didn't change anything too radically. TC reportedly allows more lateral slip before killing the power, although I've never used it intentionally.

Maybe others are finding it easyer then, for me i found it has lost Grip.. I did use ABS quite high, but found it certainly helped with the grip. Since the update that has gone now...

I have spec 2.01 and the cars feel less gripy than 2.00 but with practice you will get use to it.

Well same old last night. Guys i could normally brush aside are doing times over 1 - 2 seconds quicker than me.. its Just bizzare really
 
Spec II update changed the physics slightly but not to the extent your saying. The TC changed, they all moved up a notch 0 became 1 and 1 became 2 and so on. It makes a small difference in high powered cars on tarmac but mainly when rallying offroad you can use TC on 1 without locking the diffs.
 
As Mark stated the update has changed the physics though there was a major changed to the diff and transmission. And you stated that you run with ads on. Turn them off besides ABS and don't go over 1. If you do you will not get full breaking force. You can still lock the breaks with the ABS set to 1.

Erm... what? TCS 0 is now TCS 1? Meaning with traction control off it is in fact still on?
TCS 0 is still traction control off, even with 2.01.

Huh? Not here. No changes to LSD or transmission settings with 2.0 and 2.01..

I can't lock my brakes with ABS1. I can slide off track because there is no friction left to turn in, but I definitely can't lock my wheels.
 
Well i have gone bad to basics and turned it all off like i did to start the game to find the grip..Of course it means carnage, but will help in the long term..

Zeul, i must be honest, i always ran with a high ABS, for me then it gave me so much grip and as for braking, im always early in quick out so i didnt have an issue.. maybe thats where i have gone wrong using abs as extra grip... now thats gone im losing to much time in the corners?

Its an intresting debate i belive to what and how much has changed
 
I personally felt the change was for the good. It took a while to get used to the way the car reacts but it seems more real for me now.

The car seems more forgiving and my lap times are fairly comparable to before the update. I don't wreck as much now.
 
I definitley had to adjust my tunes after the update but after some testing have managed to get back to the laptimes I had before.
I think there is more grip now but that is not always better for entertainment :(

Not very aware of your vehicles or how they respond then.

Yes there has been a change with the diff and trans. Yes I've locked up my breaks while having ABS. If you're using a wheel try doing some testing to see the changes.

To improve your breaking play with diff with your ABS set to one it will help.

That must be it. The hours I spend racing online every day somehow masked up a total change in behaviour, especially basic things like traction control and ABS.

I'm using a wheel, and i've slid off track many times. Wheels have never locked though with ABS on.


Guys, there was a change in how cars behaved with Spec 2. For the most part it made racing difficult cars more manageable, and introduced some understeer with some of my setups.

Do you really want to tell me that with traction control off, it now is effectively on all the time?
And you manage to lock wheels with ABS on?
 
I went online last night for the first time since the update and the friends I was racing with reported the same differences that I noticed, the best way I could describe it was as if you had gone down one or 2 tyre levels , I.E. the RS felt like RH.
 
I would reccomend you read my post about difference in handling as what you are finding is exact point i am trying to make pads have a 1.5 to 2 second a lap advantage since the 2. update but ONLY in the case of wheel users when skidfoce is dissallowed

all those postin that they havent noticed a change just think to yourself are you using a wheel ???

Unfortunatly this problem makes a complete joke of any online competitions that matches everyone equal to win any prize

One noticeable difference since the update is that the default tire settings for online racing are sometimes set for SPORTS HARD and that will screw up your driving if you don't bother to change it to suit the particular race. Check the settings before and after car selection, otherwise you may be in for a surprise.
Also, if you are using a microphone, you may be disconnected without any warning. This happened to me a few times, once while I was hosting a room. I have a strong connection, so I still can't figure this one out.
