Okay, so with 1.06, Some Standards got updated, and Photomode now has a zoom/scroll with the final picture. And 1.07 has added Gold Chrome Paint, and that has me thinking, has anyone else found any secret updates within updates ? by Hidden, i mean the Stuff PD didn't list that was included in the update, which Gold Chrome or upgraded standards weren't listed in either.
 
I don't know if anyone has noticed yet, but when I raced Polyphony Digital Cup with my Zonda R, it was a rolling start. But then I started another race with my Civic Type R, it WASN'T a rolling start.

Also while I was racing with my Zonda R, the AI cars had noticeable mods - I was using bumper view just before i passed the GTR and noticed that the exhaust was titanium and the car was visibly lower.

So after that race, I used my Civic Type R and as i was passing *yet another* GTR, it was stock height and it didn't have an exhaust.

I don't know if you include that as a hidden feature.
 
I don't think 1.07 will have any hidden features, it was only a minor patch to address a few things.

Lots of races were changed to rolling starts.

I noticed a trend for tuned AI cars too. Today I was racing a European Championship in B-Spec, where a Lotus Evora was not so far behind from Zonda R, which was mine. This Lotus even lapped almost all of the field.

But it was the SAME Championship - Polyphony Digital Cup.

I used my Zonda R, finished the series, then started another race with my Civic Type R.

I hadn't noticed that, it must be dependant on the type or PP etc. of the car you have chosen to race with, cool.:cool:
 
Being the n00b driver I am, I've found the walls are a lot more bouncy than they previously were. Before the updates the car would sort of stick to the wall but now I really bounce of hard and lose control if I hit a barrier.

I'm not sure if it's new to 1.07 or just to 1.06 (because I didn't play much between the updates).
 
In 1.06, if you receive prizes from your B-Spec drivers, their stats will update in the pop up, but not in the driver select screen. 1.07, the screen now updates after you close the pop up. This fixes a small issue of not being able to take your driver offline after receiving his prizes unless you exit and return to the driver select screen.
 
1.06

I've noticed the grip on the RS tires is a little different. Also, when you hit sand traps the engine doesn't cut throttle anymore with TCS disabled.

Paging through menus is much faster,

Oh forgot, among other things, the bump sensitivity towards opponents in License tests is waaaaayyyy lower.

I noticed that as well.

This does explain the RX-7 and Impreza I encountered while bob was running the Grand Valley 300km. I was using a fully-tuned M3 Chrome Line, and yet those two were running much faster than the rest of the field, even to the point where they were matching my bob's lap times.

I noticed a similar trend in other races. Like Schwarzwald League B, bob encountered a Audi R8 4.2 (the V8, not V10, hence slower) that was able to outpace the Mercedes SLS AMG that usually finishes second and ahead of the rest of the pack. It seems like there are now one or two cars generated in the grid that may have mods and end up being the fastest of the lot.
 
man you read my mind, I hate it when companies dont release FULL changelogs of what they have done.

There is always a real changelog and a Press release changelog, and we only get to see the PR changelog which is for dopes.

Its not just with 1.06 and 1.07. There were quite a few DEFINITE changes in 1.05 that were listed in the offical update notice, but I cant recall them now.
It would be good if someone starts making a list of what has changed from 1.0 to 1.07 though, and add + highlight any hidden changes in RED

It's still the same for me

Yes they made most of the menus load signigicantly faster, and in addition they decreased the delay time of how long it takes the cursor to move after a command, and pop up context menus, very significantly.

Actually it looks like the cursor, both the animation and its action is on fast forward now compared to before.

To be fair they hinted at optizing some stuff like this so we cant say they completely failed to mention it.

1.06 changelog

- Game save speed has been optimized.
- The HDD access warning message that was displayed at game startup has been disabled for faster startup.

ALso Im not 100% on this only sure but I think the people in the car wash and engine overhaul etc seem to pace a little faster

Its not the same for you, you just didnt notice it.

This was in the game from the start.
 
Did anybody also notice that the $ amounts for the prizes have been decreased? I noticed this in 1.06. Used to get $117,000 for the American Cup and now it's $97,000.
 
from 1.06 that I have noticed
- the shifting animation and sound is better synchronized
- on rain races, the AI starts on rain tires instead of slicks and having to pit on lap 2
- crash sound improvement, at higher speed crashes the sound is more chaotic

I noticed that too, the Crashes sound alot better, like actual crashes, instead of just what sounded like Bass notes.
 
The Bronze times for the X2010 challenge are 9/10 seconds slower, and that change wasnt mentioned in the official update announcement as far as I know

I believe they said something like "some of the special events timing requirements have been changed"
 
Gold chrome was part of the update? Werid. Probably already on GT5 already. Next up Carbon Paint and Brushed Metal. Now that would be nice.
 
Carbon finish like you get on the zonda <3
I'd also like to see certain paints like that banned from trading, only in the random 30 cars and log in bonuses.
Makes it much more exclusive but means its not impossible to get

Yeah Silver chrome lost exclusivity in a few weeks, Gold chrome is going down the same road.
 
I don't get why people are bothered about exclusivity in a game!? You should just be able to buy the paint really. I only just got my first silver chrome paint (just passed 700 cars) I had traded for it in the past (for other paints). Don't see why it bothers people though. At the end of the day you should be able to buy any paint in the game instead of having to buy a car for it or just hope it shows up in the log in bonus.
