I was watching Akagi's stream and I noticed the penalty notification looks different now.

Your Colour history on livery editor is now actually saved even after you turned off the console.

I was just about to post this...

Also, when you 'duplicate on reverse' it's flipping it horizintally (If decal permits) at least, it is for me atm.

And did I miss this from before?
- Add decal before/after

Very nice if duplicate on reverse also flips :)

The "add one below/above" has been there from the start though, have used it alot actually :)
 
There's a lot less "brand logo" in livery stickers than before : only one screen (A-Z) instead of 3 (A-E) (F - O) (P - Z) ! Lots of brand stickers have disapear (but there are some new I guess too)

Is it from 1.29 or was it before ?

Is it possible that you were making livery for a Ferrari? Ferrari is very limited when it comes to livery editing and has only a fraction of decals available to use.
 
So far, only the new tracks appear to have improved AI cornering speed. Compared to the older tracks, like: Mount Panorama, Imola, Tokyo Expressway, where AI seem to have not changed. That's what I'm finding.
 
I went to tune my Viper GT4 today and noticed it described the gearbox as being a "Non-synchronous sequential gearbox" or "Fully-customisable non-synchronous sequential gearbox". Maybe it was like this before, and I haven't checked a road car to see if they list the gearbox as something else (i.e. h-pattern) but it felt like a change to me.

PD Patch Notes
Transmission part names and detailed descriptions are now available. (For more information, please refer to the “Car Settings Options” page of the Online Manual, under the “Transmission selection” section.)

Part of the official patch notes. 👍
 
I'd call this a bug fix more than an undocumented change but here goes anyway.

Earlier, in the livery editor, when you were selecting wheels or painting the car in a special colour and wanted to move the camera with the left stick (and one of the L buttons, no idea which thanks to muscle memory) it would also change the wheel/paint selection. Not anymore.
 
The new RB X2014 Standard sound is much better compared to before. Still not as good as GT6 though.

The AI in that race however, dear god. They have no spatial awareness whatsoever. Tried to race clean but got PIT maneuvered on the straight! Needless to say I won't be using it for grinding credits. The La Sarthe race is still the most profitable and most consistent.

I found the St. Croix C race easier in terms of clean race. They're so slow through the longer corners you can really just wait for a decent opportunity. It's only the last car that will pose a problem.

I like the way the liveries are nationally themed in these races.
 
Hey guys !

The spectator mode in lobby is "fixed" :

-> Replay feature works again (I automatically crashed with the previous update when I used it) + you don't see the red point in the top left corner of your screen when you activate it !

-> When a driver is going to the pit-stop and is changing compounds, the tyres indicator is updated (from hard to mediums for example).

What is the replay function and how does it work? Have never been on the spectating end in a lobby :)
 









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:

Your Colour history on livery editor is now actually saved even after you turned off the console.
Not sure I'm all that happy with this (or at least its current implementation) as there's no way of removing colours from the history and you can end up with lots of useless or duplicated colours from trying to mix an exact shade :indiff:

It certainly messes with my OCD knowing there's now colours in a liveries' history that aren't actually used in the livery itself.
