"Standards" the good, the bad and the ugly

[TenEightyOne]

The RUF Yellowbird still says "PORSCHE" in the rear lights, it seems more visible now than it did in GT5 after whatever change they made.

You can't see it so well on this pic but I'll post anyway because it's my favourite of the car

Why wouldn't it?

IIRC the Yellowbird is a one-off and it has the "Porsche" words on the lights in real life too.

There were 29 originals and the Porsche lens was indeed retained... it just surprised me that it was there as I'd never previously realised it was.

The P911 in the game is considered (so I was told elsewhere on GTP) to be the Yellowbird though...

Yes, only Yellowbird had the Naca ducts on the quarter panels...
(the German license plates are the correct ones for YB as well).

What PD did for "standard" Miata exteriors in GT6 they should have done for the interiors as well. And they should have repeated that process for every single Skyline, RX-7, Fairlady Z, etc. that already has a premium variant.

That would involve them flipping the side the steering wheel is on, on a few of them, and that's sooo hard for them

I don't think you understand how hard it is to "flip" a model.

It's not as simple as just moving the steering wheel to the other side. They'd have to remodel the dash to be its mirrored counterpart (or if they mirrored it, they'd have to completely remap it to unflip the textures), move the steering wheel over to the other side, set the newer co-ordinates for the cockpit camera and driver model, use the opposite-hand-drive shifting animation, and test the combination of these to make sure none of the animations clip.

I realize it's not easy, it's called a joke.

Is it me or has the Auto Union Streamline's exterior been upgraded?

Can I see some pics for comparison?

 

[SkilledRacer]

I can get pics after what I see yes but didnt have the car before. So if anyone could post a before comparison I would be greatful

EDIT: The steering wheel also moves. Not sure if it did that before.

 

[SkilledRacer]

Here they are:









Not the greatest photos of all time but Im sure you might see some differences if any.

 

[Ranman20]

The color looks better and from this angle it looks like they added more polys.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Oh yeah, I did hear that PD tried making the Streamliner less of an eyesour in the more recent updates.

I thought I was just seeing things

[Ranman20]

Nice!

 

[SkilledRacer]

So all of those saying PD dont care about the standard cars are wrong then

 

[PletdeKoe]

No they are right for the wrong cars

 

[snowgt]

I've been buying hundreds of cars for my "get-em-all" project lately, and I must say I'm impressed by how many standards have been significantly improved. They haven't gotten around to all of them yet, but I can imagine some will follow quietly with some updates.

 

[DJTHEKING]

The steering of the Auto Union can turn now also

 

[Zlork]

Seen from outside, Auto Union is cleaner.

As against, the cockpit view .... Ugly

 

[Callum B]

I hope these two get some work done on.

Good to see the Auto Union touched up, I thought it looked different in the dealership...

 

[CeeJay]

Man if that's the touched up version of the Auto Union I'm glad I missed out on the original!

It was pretty rough even in GT...was it 4?

I guess PD have applied some simple tweening technology to the body models, it looks like they've also put newer light models in where available.

I'm sick of hearing T10 say that the models need rescanning for next-gen, I think that most A-level Design students would be able to do this upgrade. At a contractor's rate, obviously...

 

[eran0004]

The actual mesh of the Auto Union looks the same, it's just a shinier coat of paint applied to it. Which makes it look better and shows that sometimes textures are more important than the mesh. The same applies for that Suzuki we all know about, of course.

 

[novenpeter]

Got some question for Formula GT. When driving the Formula GT in cockpit view in GT5, there is shifting animation of the driver but this disappear in GT6. Wonder how this happen

 

[IIC]

It's not until you see the cockpit of the AU'37 that you realise how Standard it is.
