I'm back...
Suggested Gear option.
Or was this in the 2.00 update?
I disabled the stupid thing.
Already covered this with "The in game Heads Up Display has been made more fully customizable, with the ability to add or remove individual items from the display."
Anyone got a screenshot of the new HUD options?
I'll try to find or take one today.
No, this isn't correct. I spend a lot of time in the timing monitor during online league races and this was not a feature until 2.02.
Heh, heh, ok, adding it back then. Thanks!
Can't say that I noticed anything different with standards.
I'm now remembering something though: yesterday I installed a Fully Customizable Transmission to a normal car and don't remember hearing any whining sound from it. Could it be...?
EDIT:
Also, equal paint chips seemed to finally be all grouped together (was this sorted before and I am just noticing it now?).
Since you seem a bit uncertain about the transmission sounds, I'll put it in Unanswered Questions and we'll see what other people say, or I can try to test it myself today. As for the paint chips, I'll do the same, though I have an inkling that this happened before 2.02.
Thanks!
1. As a part of upgrading the overall sounds, sound of rain was upgraded. However, as a part of the overall issues some players constantly experience in sound-department because of the inadequate setting of the Audio Options or bad speakers (on TV set or wherever), new sound of rain can be probably described as "sloshing" by them.
2. Standard Cars appearance have been constantly upgraded through all updates. All cars have been smoothened, majority of cars had totally replaced lights, details, shaders, bents and such. It is hard to say which models and under which percentage have been improved now, but it is safe to say how "Standard Cars general appearance have been enhanced"
3. Lights on the Pace Car existed even prior to this update, but they were not "working". Now they are "working" (both rotating lights on top of the car and flashing headlamps on the front/rear) so that particular car is probably champion of 2.02 upgrade in Standard models department
This particular issue:
[number on DLC car]
...was fixed in the previous 2.01 update.
Also, one of the not-so-visible updates in 2.02 is enhanced support for the FFB effect on the wheels. FFB is even stronger now, it is more detailed (bumps-related especially) and enhanced in order to cope with the new tire-model and suspension model of 2.00 update.
BTW Great thread, it is good to see everything presented in the one place 👍
Ok, so here's what I'll do: I'll leave the 'sloshing' question in the changelog, just to hear from more people. I'll add the fact that standards have been adjusted, but won't mention a specific effect. And I'll take it from your third statement that that's a vote for 'lights added in 2.02? I'll remove the question about that, then, because we seem to have a bit of consensus over that.
I'll also add the Force Feedback info. I didn't add this before because I had just heard isolated rumors and complaints that I couldn't verify (because my G27 is back in my dorm, over 300 miles away
).
Thanks for the tips (and the compliment
)
in my opinion the overal effect of the light source (the sun) has improved
better reflections and more contrast, depht
maybe that is why standards look better
I did see what I thought to be better contrast, but I don't have access to the TV I usually play on right now, and the TV I'm using now has utterly terrible contrast settings (which I'm far too lazy to change). So I couldn't be sure.
There seems to be an overall improvement in the lighting engine, what with the standard cars' headlights now shining onto surfaces and improved shadowing, so I'll see what I can do to make all these improvements grouped together.
Thanks for the input!
This had been fixed before 2.02.
Another contention over when something was updated XD
There is a good way for me to possibly verify this one, though. Whenever I can, I change numbers to 42, for reasons you can probably guess just by the number or with the help of my username! If my GT-R says 42 on it, then I know that this was a prior update. I'll still remove it now, because I think you're right, but I'll see if I changed that number sometime today.
Thanks!
"2x resolution has been enabled for all aspect ratios in Photo Mode."
This was added with Update 2.02, no?
Yep, that's why it's in our unofficial changelog for 2.02!
They did it because it would rip off PD. You can't give a DLC car to someone who has not purchased it for there own account. It has been like this ever since GT5 came out. I have the Chrome Cars. I cant sell, trade or anything. Do I care. nope. My hard earned money got me those cars.
I totally understand what you're saying, and I agree with what you're saying. Neither I nor anyone else (that I've heard) said that we should be able to gift these cars to other people. The question has been over selling the cars back to the game (using the Sell button) or at least being able to delete them. And the reason people want this functionality is some people are running out of room in their garage, and want to be able to delete duplicates of DLC cars that they purchased from the New Car Dealerships.
For those like me far away from PS3 on christmas time this complete changelog is pretty much appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Merry Christmas!
I'm far away from my wheel at Christmas time. That's what actually prompted me to make this!
Thanks for the compliment, and a merry Christmas to you too!
To expand on the improved wind noise, the noise reduction is evident when traveling in a slipstream.
I think this kind of falls in with the 'racing sound effects improvement' update. But this is good to know. (Too bad I don't have my wheel to test it out at high speed
)
