Which brings up one of my biggest annoyances which constantly causes confusion: the displayed power output and weight being console language bound without any option to change this inside the game itself while the units selection option only switches between mph and kmh.

German gets kw/kg, US gets bhp/lbs, UK gets bhp/kg, France ch/kg and so on...

1bhp = 1.038 ch/CV/PS/hp = 0.746
1kg = 2.2 lbs

Why this is so convoluted and can't simply be switched to any type in the tuning sheet is beyond me. Especially since GT6 featured sharing of tuning sheets and even gifting whole cars... A prime example of a really useful feature being dropped from "the most complete Gran Turismo ever" for no apparent reason. Lol, just writing about this gets me anxiously frustrated.

I agree, if I switch to MPH, I want to see that displayed when changing transmission settings. I figured out in game, some of us show BHP and some show HP but it’s the exact same so if a friend shares a tune that is BHP I just match mine which says HP. But I think you’re correct, in real life, BHP is different than HP from what I understood.

The bolded is absolutely not true.

1bhp = 1hp. The difference between bhp and hp is the difference between a unit and a method. Brake horsepower is horsepower as measured at the crank, named as such for the method of a braking dynamometer - which applies a resisting force (braking) to the output. The units it is measured in are (mechanical) horsepower: hp. That "b" only tells you it's crank, and not anything else like wheel (as measured on a rolling road).

The horsepower unit is defined as 550lbfft/s (though the subscript "f", to mean "equivalent force" to distinguish pounds-force from pounds-mass, is often omitted). All variants of metric horsepower units are defined as 75kgfm/s.

Your equivalency formula ought to read:

1hp = 0.746kW = 1.038PS/cv/ch etc.
1PS (etc) = 0.736kW = 0.986hp

Also 1kg = 2.205lb, if you want to be consistent with three decimal places.

You can google the difference and it’s funny because you’ll find articles stating BHP is at the wheels and HP is at the crank and the next article is the opposite. There is a lot of confusion surrounding this because of that I believe. Car and track might say one thing and another site says the other. I always thought BHP was at the wheels and HP was at the crank. So I went looking because of gt7 tune sharing sheets displaying different names and that’s when I found nobody can seem to agree on which is which. Lol

It's pretty much because we all spent 40 years talking about brake horsepower - or just "brake", as in "my car's got 200 brake, mate". It was not only all over the real world, but video games, Top Trumps cards, and so on.

Just "hp" on its own is the unit. Nothing but 550lbft/s. Anything appended to it should be more specific: whp is wheel horsepower, for example (sometimes fwhp, sometimes rwhp, never seen 4whp, but they're all stupid; we know which wheels it is, dude), and bhp should only be used for crank power because it's measured on a bench with a braking dynamometer on the output shaft. Of course rolling roads (which, to be fair, also use a braking function) that measure whp give you a guess at what your engine's doing based on what losses they think your various moving bits should generate, and that may be bhp too.

It's a bit (but not entirely) like speed and velocity. Speed is mph. Velocity is mph eastwards.

But everyone writing about cars has their own style guide to follow, I guess.

Which also brings me back to my beef with not being able to share tunes. Some peoples sheets say, exhaust, some say silencer, etc… some BHP, some HP so then you have people asking in here and googling what the difference is, when in game it’s exactly the same.

You wouldn’t even question it, if you could just save a tune from a friend and apply directly to your car. Instead we are downloading or viewing the three screenshots we get sent on your ps app (chat) and heading into three different places of menus to replicate their tune.

Now if I share my new trans am tunes with my friends (5 or so cars) if they want to replicate those tunes, guaranteed they’re going to have to dedicate about 30 minutes or more just to apply my tunes to their cars. They also might have to ask me… which if any are widebodied, what size rims are on there, are the rims offset and are the tires wide?

It’s a feature I miss dearly.

Conveniently this has just summed up what I was going to say about the earlier ChatGTP discourse. In a nutshell, and a much more polite way than I was going put it.
 
Having custom transmissions, but not allowing them to be added to cars like the CR-V and C-HR. Also, there's literally no reason why you couldn't add a sports exhaust to one of the above, but they arbitrarily grey the option out.

I don't think you're talking about same thing? Delete what? The $20M car with 3865-miles on it?

The notion of cars coming with any mileage on them, I suspect.

The other people in the GT universe have life good, for sure. They own an infinite amount of vary rare cars that they can drive however much they like, sell them to you for real-world values, and then buy them back any time thereafter for 25-50% of that regardless of any aesthetic alterations or any additional mileage (or lack thereof)...

Adding an exhaust to the CR-V would do nothing other than make it louder. The CR-V is an EV (the model we have in GT7) with an engine to extend range. Still, I would certainly love a way to add gears, or at the very least get rid of the CVT's.

I drove it twice yesterday, it's definitely a petrol, non turbo hybrid with a CVT, not an EV with a range extender like the i3 REX. Adding a sports exhaust would make it look more complete with the stock bodywork painted, let alone the crazy wings.

Having done a bit of research, you're half right. Most of the time the vehicle is in full EV mode (city driving), with the engine kicking in both for active charging, and additional torque. So, my point still stands. Adding an exhaust may make it look cooler to you, but it's not going to add much of anything else (other than the aforementioned sound increase). I get it, the body work looks silly without the exhaust to match. It does. I'm just not sure there's enough benefit to justify it. Your mileage may vary.
 
Not a major thing but the fact that the Enzo shifting lights are still Bugged after 3 years. They worked in GTS so why are they bugged in gt7?

It doesn't really annoy me, I just ignore it at this point but idk if they're trying to break people out of the Collect-a-thon play style but I've been saying these high value menu books aren't worth it for awhile. I just can't realistically, without ego, imagine a professional being this short sighted and not think about the fact that some of the cars cost more than any possible reward you could get.

Just get it done whenever you’re ready?
 
For scapes, I wish you could filter 2 different genres. As in some cases, I want a scape that's a mix of them like a mountain pass with a dirt road for instance. To get that though, I have to still pick one and do some scrolling until I get the scape I want. I dunno, I think scapes need more filters.

Buttons you must press to go back to the main map once you have finished a race...

basic option :
O - O - O.

shortcut option (added with update 1.40) :
up - X - down - down - down - down - down - X.

Thank you so much spec II....

Oh this stuff bugs me so much, navigating something that feels like you should have a mouse but having to use a controller.

On that topic somewhat, I found tuning cars to match power/weight ratio is fairly reliable, but you can’t see that in your car settings so you have to adjust in car settings and then back out and go into tuning parts to view that information… not quite equal yet, rinse and repeat. Soooooooooo annoying. I swear this Gran Turismo has tons of these little not well thought out annoyances. They’re blissfully unaware of the problems they’ve created.

After all this time and with so many EV cars being introduced in GT7, no one can still create a proper custom race with them but only one model race.....

It's not just EV's, but your point is valid.

It's the same with some of the specialty vehicles, such as the Himedic.

Annoying, for sure.
 
One thing that Annoys me is the fact that engine sounds never get updated? So many cars that need a sound update.

3 cars I can think of are 3 of my most driven.

The p1 gtr and fxxk both cars need a update both cars sound like there were recorded inside a tunnel while inside a bubble. :lol:

The fxxk just doesn't have that pop when down shifting and the p1 is missing a key engine sound.

Another is the Zonda r wish it would get updated with the real sound and not the generic sound it has.

Not even sure what you are talking about.

I've noticed too. Previously if you had SM's and then bought say RS's - and those were the only tires you had for that car - it would skip over the ones you didn't have. So SM's to RS's in one "click" - now it would be SS', RH, RM and then RS.

Then buy all the tires you need or want ahead of time.

I’m annoyed that we had previously when changing tires you would go directly into next tire you have but many updates ago they changed it so we need through the options we don’t have (greyed tires)

Ideally you need a little submenu that pops up, like the change car option as you see your carlist, to change tyres before you enter the track submenu and before it bugs you annoyingly, for having the wrong tyre option on the car, Ie. Dirt or Snow or Sport tyres for Rallies for example.
