I have noticed that my Peugeot 207 in GT5 seems to have a PP bug. It skips a rather big performance area when I try to adjust the power limiter down from 100%. Has any of you noticed this too? All the other cars I have driven allow very accurate adjustment of PP but not this one.
 
Not noticed it with my 207, but I borrowed an x2010 to get a bit of practice in before taking on the challenge races. However when adjusting the limiter I noticed the PP upon adjusting the power down began to rise at around 80% so I think the PP calculation is based upon the power curves as well as additional factors.
 
Suprised that this thread never got more than one reply. Adjusting the power limiter on the Peugeout 207 from 100% to 99.9 % results in a PP decrease of 5 points. BHP is obviously also affected drastically by this minor adjustment. Several patches later and it remains the same as when I posted this thread. Am really the only one who finds this questionable?
 
That's not the only car. In a few hours I'll post other cars that do this.

Edit:
So far I found the Alfa Romeo 156 2.5 v6 24v '98 to do that as well.
From 100% to 99.9% it goes from 402hp to 391hp, and decreases 3 PPs.

So is it perfectly normal or is it a bug which affect certain cars?
 
I don't know, but one thing is for sure, it doesn't make sense that the values change so much.
In my opinion it is a bug that PD should fix.

This is exactly the reason Peugot pulled out of Le Mans.

:lol: Well played sir.

As for this bug, can we do a proper test on a track with lap times and such? Comparing the differences between 100% and 99.9%. If the lap times are very much similar (Which they may be), its a bug, If the lap times are rather different (I.e, 1 second average between 99.9% and 100%), its not a bug and is infact correct.
