Based on the original thread format by @Johnnypenso


For each update released, there lies the potential for changes undocumented in the initial patch notes. Please report any Undocumented changes you find in the current update and I'll update the OP as much as possible to reflect those changes found.



1. It is encouraged that you make an effort in verifying these changes as much as possible.

2. If you need help from the community to verify something, don't be afraid to ask.

3. It is strongly advised that you be as specific and detailed as possible with the information including a brief description of the bug or improvement before it was fixed/changed (if applicable) and how. If English is not your first language that's ok, just do it to the best of your ability.



THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE OFFICIAL CHANGES Only any changes not listed on the official site are disgusted here

THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS OF THE UPDATE or anything else other than undocumented changes in the update. Keep those strictly to the appropriate threads:

Surely will be undocumented: I did one of the new VGT+ Races, reached the backmarker, and a blue flag was waved by the marshalls.

EDIT: It is indeed documented, sorry!

Its ok. I was just about to tell you that because it is documented now that I was going to remove it, though it seems like something that was likely going to be documented considering the direction PD is going with the Sport mode.

Good thing I had the disclaimer before that specifically said it was subject to change once the official patch notes came out.
 
Are you sure?

It is almost 8am UK Time and that is when the races always change per day. (And you will see the change beforehand at half past and twenty to)
I think it might be me being sick and not having slept well. My bad :lol:
 
Sports mode menus have been completely redone . The track images circulate instead of being segmented into three bricks .

The FIA screens have been redone as well. I find the Sport mode race details screen pretty hard to read now with the animating stuff going on behind the text.
 
I think they reduced the delay of the driver model turning the wheel in cockpit view. It seems much more directly in sync with steering input now, at least on pad.
 
-The camera is still can't be adjusted in the Alfa Romeo Road Car and can't go +5 in Alpine Gr.1

And I wish they'd fix the driver twitching when getting some air on the Nürb and give the Tomahawk X driver the correct suit.
