And another thing... :D

- The music implementation
Anyway, it would be nice to be able to at least turn off some of the more ridiculous songs (William Tell Overture and the at least appropriately named Galop Infernal for example) during the racing.

You can do this in Showcase.
 
I hate how the AI opponents swerve frantically down the main straight on Tokyo. Full wall to wall transitions all the way down. Who made this path for them?

Also, does anyone else notice that whenever two AI are side by side, the one that is directly in front of you will ALWAYS slow down to a crawl to let the others by? Doesn't seem to matter if you pick inside or outside car to follow.
 
One of the things that I find a bit annoying, is just how many clicks there are to proceed through the amazing number of extra menus. Here are a couple of examples.

So, when you have a few replays and are not sure which ones you want to keep and which to delete.
Here is the procedure that PD have planned and implemented.

1. Go to Showcase
2. Select My items
3. then replays
4. Pick a replay - remember something that will help you find it later
5. Click view, and wait for it to become available
6. When available, go to the replay button, click
7. A pop-up menu appears, select 'play replay'
8. Optional: go to replay options, and select 'Display Race Info' and click on 'Display All' (if you want this setting, this step will be required every time a replay is viewed).

If this is a replay you want to delete, these are the next steps (and I'm really not making these up!)
9. Exit the replay
10. And exit the replay menu for that particular replay, and this sends you back to the showcase menu.
11. Select My items
12. then replays
13. Pick the replay (using what you remembered from step 4)
14. And finally, the delete button is available (as it was in step 5 - if you didn't want to view the replay first).
15. And, back to step 4 for the next one to view/delete.


How about when you want to do a time trial for a GTWS or race in sport mode (before the entry period has opened). This is for a 'Daily Race', but GTWS is similar.
1. Go to Sport
2. Select Daily Races
3. Choose the Race: A, B or C
4. Pick Garage or Rental
5. Select a car (unless you are already in the car needed). (Optional: check settings)
6. Select Qualifying
7. Click okay for the BOP, and wait for the event to load
8. Click Start (Optional: check settings)
9. Once finished, press options
10. Choose Exit
11. Admire your 'Best Time' and click next
12. Collect rewards, and click next, and next again,
13. Return to the time trail menu, choose 'Exit'
14. You are back in the Sport Mode home page, But if you want to join the next race, that you've just qualified for (which surely will be quite a popular thing to do), select Daily Races
15. Choose the Race: A, B or C
16. Pick Garage or Rental
17. Now, you can enter with your current car
18. But, first you click okay for the BOP, and wait for the event to load
19. now you can watch the timer go down

No mirrors on some cars mean you can’t look behind you in VR. The Escudo is a weird car to begin with but the Mclaren VGT has no mirrors. I guess racing in 2030 is extremely dangerous according to them…
 
The "Distance driven" sort option is not available in the garage (it was in GT Sport), so all used cars come first when sorting by mileage, regardless if you've driven them or not.

@Akwaaba : can't agree more with the nightmare the navigation thrue the game is, so many useless clicks...

This is also irritating, I'd quite like to know how far I have driven the various cars, not the 30,000 miles they had on when I bought them.

Well, tonight I shall be going to Showcase which I thought was to view replays and pictures etc., in order to change what music plays during the menus / races. Thanks @MikeUD06 :)

Don't buy the DeLorean 😅
 
Till I get the option to turn this genetic message off it will always be the 1 and only thing that annoys me in gt7.

Just look at how genetic it is. :mad:

How does adding a simple on off option to that message take away other things from being added? I guess PD is just a little indie developer that cant handle more then 2 things at a time right.

Wow, never heard that one before. Kudos for this unique joke.

Adding a toggle option for this is perfectly fine but not exactly high priority. :lol:

Cruising at 50 khm speed on order to reach the pits at lemans ( heavy rain ) i went out , that cost me a 7 sec penalty!!!!
I never get such a high one ever .
Also i have the impression that somehow the penalties apply very different, depending on the way you drive (any car ) and i mean if you going fast or conservative with the car you have .
Doing EXACTLY the same thing in same cases might cost you ot not .
For example, hiting a cone without be on the limits of car potential won't cost you , but if your speed is at full potential that car offers, penalty applies.
Going out all wheels at white lines might cost you nothing riding powerful cars in slower speed than car can carry, put 2 wheels out on a detune gt500 riding on his limits and Bang , 0.500 applies.
Don't know if anyone else notice that but since i do lemans every day with various cars am 100% sure that penalties apply depending on the car and the way you drive,fast or not .
And that is quite annoying if you're chasing faster lap times etc.
Hit a single cone and take a penalty,hiting all cones in a row and nothing happens ( except that slow you down) if you're on cruising ride , that becomes a joke .
Also annoying is that you need to be a sort of meteorologist in order to guess what weather brings using the radar in the straights, in order when you will pit and what tyres to choose.
Yesterday i run 3 races on dry and two in such a heavy rain that in some areas you could do ...... fishing!!!.
Was the first time that i saw blue colour on top of rain indicator .
At the first one i took the 7 sec. Penalty , while on the AI a yellow flag party was at his best.

This is a thread about talking about all of the 🤬 put in this game that annoys us, not about highlighting what are the most important problems to fix.

Why are you putting emphasis on what's "more important" like PD couldn't focus on more than one area?

I think this is a valiant attempt by PD to try and incorporate 'intent' and the notion of gaining an advantage into the penalty system.

I've absolutely found that if you run wide and keep the throttle pinned etc. you'll get a penalty. If you run wide but lift off, brake and pull back on to the track as best you can, you can often avoid the penalty. I think it's why often the penalty isn't applied the moment you go off line, it waits a few seconds to see the outcome of your transgression, if you're ultimately worse off already, you can sometimes get away without further punishment. I think of all the things people really dislike about the game, the penalty system I'm not too fussed about, it does a reasonable job, although it would be very helpful if they could actually give an indication of the mysterious track limits that seem to have no rhyme or reason to them at all...

No time progression in time trial.

Turns out I was wrong:
Gran Turismo™ 7_20230415215808.jpg
Gran Turismo™ 7_20230415214953.jpg

It's just at x1, which leads me to a new gripe: You can't change the time progression in time trial - nor can you set the time or the weather yourself. Only having 5 options to choose from is stupid.

No black flags for repeat offenders. Yet, if we sit in the grass to let the fast car by we get a DNF.
 
Drag racing in this game drives me insane. You can take a 1000hp car VS a stock Type-R and get completely smoked.

Well, it isn't a drag racing game. But how are you getting "smoked"? In GT5 when I did the drag racing at Indy thing we had skid control on in the lobby. That added traction as if the track was prepped. I know in the in game part all the aids are turned off, even auto trans 😑 So not much that can be done there.
I would say post this as a "suggestion for a lobby" in the suggestion part of the forum under feature or maybe in tracks under "Add the drag race track to open lobby".

I just did that with my black flags post.
 
For some reason many people in this fanbase say that they want more ordinary cars in the game.

Someone should remind them that they do not even bother driving the Toyota Aqua/Crown, Fiat 500, Mazda Demio/Atenza, Suzuki Swift, Genesis G70, etc. Its like wanting a panini press when you dont even enjoy sandwiches.

...or the very vague request of wanting more quirky cars, without ever defining what it actually meant by that. Does it mean something like a Smart fortwo? Some boutique car that breaks all the rules? Some obscure machine from the 80s from a dead manufacturer?

Alphard. Definitely, Alphard. Not like they cared about having any vans in the game until PD forcefully put one in.

Hilariously enough, many of these same people also complain about the cornering being too easy in Gr.whatever while simultaneously being only barely able to drive the road cars in the game without RS tires. Yet when faced with an actually difficult car, like the Alpine A110 or Porsche 356...

Sorry, I’ve been on reddit today.

I will admit that I'm one of the biggest advocates for more ordinary road cars in GT7.

However, that's missing a crucial piece of the puzzle - before we get overloaded with Micras and Yarises, we need more places to use these vehicles. Previous GT games had plenty of city circuits and events for these types of cars, which GT7 is evidently lacking in. And considering Kaz's statement about city circuits being several times harder to develop than ordinary tracks, I doubt that'll change anytime soon.

I appreciate the inclusion of stuff like the Prius and Demio, but outside of the Sunday Cup, where do they actually see use in GT7? That's something that needs to be addressed before we get a flood of ordinary cars.

The reason I want more ordinary cars in GT7 is because I drive the ordinary cars regularly. Every single one of those cars you listed and many, many more. I rather enjoy doing the Clubman, Sunday Cup and 600pp events particularly. The 600pp events are my favorites and so many ordinary cars fit the bill for those races. The variety of cars is what keeps me coming back.

I actually wanted a minivan or two from day 1. I was really hoping for the Espace F1 to be included again in GT7 before the initial complete list for GT7 was leaked. To me, GT just isn’t really complete without one to own and drive. Though I was hoping for the Espace F1 or Ford SuperVan specifically, the Alphard doesn’t disappoint.

I myself have also recently complained that handling in road cars is now too easy after 1.31, but that’s nothing a little tuning of the LSD and/or dropping down a tire grade or two doesn’t fix to make them a little more challenging again. It‘s just annoying we have to do all that again to all the cars we want to drive, which for me is ~85% of the cars in the game. It’s time consuming knowing that it’ll have to be done all over again in a future update too when they decide to change the physics again.
Handling in the Gr. cars though isn’t too easy now, they actually made it harder with 1.31 as all the Gr. cars seem too heavy in the corners and a bit sluggish in regards to steering than before, at least to me.
