Yes it does. I have one with a Fanatec CSL Elite and Clubsport V3 pedals. Clutch seems to work as well.
Thank you for confirming this.. because 30 seconds ago I ordered it lol Would've thought about it more except Fanatec literally just sent out an email saying the prices on everything except wheel bases are going up next week.. /orderconfirm

Torrential rain at night at the Nurburgring is so good. Awesome amount of particles kicking up from the cars on v1.05. The 1.06 patch downgraded it a bit, I need to do more testing. Video was made on 1.05.


looks amazing, could you make the exact saame video on 1.06?
 
I know its reported already but online lobbies is absolutely terrible. Cars jumping and sparking, the whole lobby shutting down after the host leaves, car settings changing even the player didn't change their settings to begin with and etc. I haven't had a problem with sport mode but lobbies are jacked up right now. They really need to fix the lag/jumping. Me and my older brother was at Daytona testing the tundra and Ford raptor and that lag was annoying. And its not on our part
 
what are you talking about ?
I think he’s talking about the small payouts from most events. While I would agree that credits don’t come particularly easy in GT7, it does however help that cars like the Ford Mk. IV now cost less than 5.000.000 cr. to buy instead of 20.000.000 cr., as in GT Sport.

I guess I'm just surprised to learn how many people's lives seemingly revolve around these 20m credit cars.
 
I'd rather a few really expensive unicorns but an economy that pays better ala GTS than the stingy low payouts designed for MTXs. I mean the custom race payouts are so abysmal that custom races aren't worth doing. And was there really a need to remove getting paid for doing hotlaps/time trials? No there wasn't... But the all mighty dollar triumphs again.

I'd like to at least be allowed to sell cars, but I also feel like the in-game economy isn't as bad as some are making it out to be. There's that one two-lap race at Goodwood that pays out like $50k and you can do it as many times as you feel like, for example.

Well, my life doesn’t revolve around them, but in GT Sport the 20.000.000 cr. cars were the final long grind (really, really long grind) for most players, whereas most other cars were quickly acquired in comparison. It has been balanced in GT7. Basically, affordable cars take more effort to obtain than in GT Sport and expensive cars take less effort.
 
I've had the impression that it's most if not all the same, however the times have changed.
How odd. Why not make that one small change to make the game feel a bit fresher?

tbh grinding money feels sort of the same as GTS, i used to make 300k in 10 mins on gts and now its about the same in 10 or 11 mins

yet they will drive them once and complain how they cant sell them
 
Yes, and it was a problem in that game as well. Hence why so many people spent hours going round in circles at Blue Moon Bay.
at least this time there 2 or 3 tracks that give the same amount in a close to similar time

Just checked and there's more changes than i actually realised but some are still the same indeed. Some also only change from the Gr. 3 version of car in Sport to the Gr.4 version in 7.

The problem with GT7 at the moment is there are not enough varied ways to make money. Most of the events are either beginner or multiple chili peppers difficult. Not enough in between.

Pretty sure there is one rally event miles ahead of the rest but even if there was 2 or 3, that is still far too few. In the old games by the time you finished there were four or five events with 20 odd races total that all paid out in the same ballpark.

But anyway, there is also the event creator which SHOULD have negated this issue, it should have allowed us to set up any race or championship we wanted and earn good amount of credits if we chose semi-long races with the faster cars and hardest AI, no more grinding the same thing over and over!

But no, PD went and nerfed those as well.

Are you crazy? It's a racing game. I can do that race twice a day once a week. We have over 400 cars in the game... oh, wait a second! This game is so bad. I would like to play it somehow but there is not way. I can't do time trials, because it's not paid. I can't do custom races because it's almost not paid and saved. But I can do some prepared stuff I don't care with almost no paying. Or I can do awesome arcade races.

Is it only my view the game is completely broken as a racing game? Yeah, you can read about cars, that's cool but I didn't need any game for it...
 
Eks
Has anyone come 1st in the Gr.3 Daytona race (4/5 chili I think)? Or even top 3? What car did you use?

Got my behind thoroughly handed to me and finished 12th, though it was refreshing to see how viciously competitive the AI were in that race - lots of trading places and overtaking between themselves.
I worked my way up to 5th in the Mazda, then 6th place pitted me into the grass. On lap 9 I got pitted again. I wound up in last place-by that time I didn't give a fig and persevered just to finish. The Mazda is definitely not the car to use.

I think I'll go on youtube and see what car folks are using. I've had little to no trouble with all the other events so far.

You get paid in enjoyment which is kinda sorta the point of video games.

Alright so go play iRacing or some other joyless hardcore sim then.

I hate this game currently very much. It's so dumb. Cafe was OK even I wasn't happy. After cafe, the game is completely dead and trolling you. "Check our legend store, loser!"

What I like? Everything open I paid for. Creating custom races with custom AI settings and championships from it. Everything with cool UI and with saving. And good MP of course...

Or some compromise like Forza always had. There is no problem to open any car because everything is consistently paid.

Joyless? Do you know what is racing? Or I just want to take some of the 400+ cars and enjoy it on Nordschleife. But I can't because I didn't pay enough. 100 euro is just beginning?
There is nothing more enjoyable than getting a ticket only to win 2k. That's enjoyment right there.
Exactly, that trolling.

Gran Turismo has never been the kind of game to just give you everything for free like Forza is. I swear that series has spoiled people. If you are JUST playing GT7 for the racing you will be disappointed, and tbh I don't know what you expected. You have to be a car enthusiast on some level in order to get the most out of it because yes, it's not super deep in terms of racing.

You won't do time trials because they're not paid?
Whatever happened to racing against yourself, improving your lap times and your driving skills along the way?
 
Anyone know if Birthday cars are still a thing? I don't want to wait another 10 months to find out...

I played GT since GT5 because of racing and because there was "real racing simulator" text. GT5 wasn't bad at all. GTS was what it was and GT7 should be successor to good old times. No problem with me, the game is currently trash from gaming perspective.

Yeah, physics is not on a sim level so there is no point. I can do much better lapping in ACC, rF2 or R3E and feel 10 times better. In GT7 I love the graphics and physics is finally on a good level but still far from the sim level. What about cars? I want to try cars I bought but game blocked them. GT has probably the biggest road car count with this physics. There is a potential, but not now.

?? Nobody is stopping you from taking cars out on the Nurburgring if that's what you enjoy. I'm sorry you're not given 20m cars for free.

My birthday is coming up in 2 days (GT7 was an early B-day gift for myself) so I'll let you know if I get one. Although I have heard that they're not longer a thing. :indiff:

How free? I bought the game for 100 euro. It's not free at all. If they can't fund the development from it they should said it before. Current economy model is a joke, complete joke. But I can buy the car again for real money, right? The full game is for 10000 euro or what?
