Take the Corvette C6 on a Bugatti Chiron engine.

There's your problem.
With great power you show great responsibility.

As you had put an overpowered engine in your Corvette you have little control, you should adjust accordingly the suspension and the power output for the control aspect regardless of the tyres you install.
As for wheel width, if you put wide wheels on and / or wide offset you need to get the wide body modifications or you will be rubbing wheels on inside front fenders.

I think you just took the car and engine without reading the rest.

On the normal width tyres the car is fine. Massive powerhouse that is tough to tame but its doable and great fun and to put in context I have the Chiron Engine Swap on all the possible cars so I know there are annoying inconsistencies.

Change the width to give the car more racing flair and the car just doesnt want to turn and again, this isnt much of an annoyance if it was the same across the board but its not, its inconsistent. Corvette with the larger width tyres is terrible no matter what changes are made as it just doesnt want to turn anymore but the Viper can do it just fine and is better

Also it is wide bodied... the smaller width wheels still just turn better.

Well I don't really know, the economy only becomes a problem when you get into buying cars that are not needed in any way to progress in the game, or aren't even all that useful. Every race can be won in a car that either is purchaseable without an invite and costs less than a million credits, or can be won. The absurdly expensive cars are more of "I played enough to get this" trophies than anything else, but people have a fixation on getting them even though most of them really aren't that good - and certainly not worth the time and effort just for the sake of having cars that perform pretty much the same as something from the UCD with a price tag missing about two zeroes.

Greycap I see the wisdom on your words, the same wisdom I use to have in previous GTs, I don´t know when I succumb to this obessesion to collect all cars for the extra menus. I think it pisses me off having the money for a Carrera GT a cannot buy it!
 
Not being able to lower the aspect ratio of the tyre and keep the wheel size small. I don’t want to have to fit an 18” wheel to have the sidewall thinner. I want to do this and not have the balloon tyres we get with smaller wheel diameters.

What happens when you increase the ride height, suspension stiffness and/or negative camber?

It does a little better but still refuses to turn whatsoever on high speed sections making Mount Panorama undriveable.

I haven't built this car, so I don't know what else to address to remedy this. You could dm me your setup and maybe I can work something out. I've found some inconsistencies with other cars too, though. Often times wide offset doesn't work well when combined with wide wheels, where irl most race cars aren't stanced out for look or use stretched tyres.
 
Why is it not possible to switch between high and low beam headlights in the Ferrari 458 GT3 car.
So extremely annoying, it's beyond me.

It may simply not have them. Many race cars only have one option because you don't really need to avoid blinding oncoming traffic on a race track unless something has gone very wrong.

Oh I never thought about that and yeah it makes sense.
I didn't knew that some race cars don't have that option available, so thanks for clarification.
Again something new learned, appreciate your answer 😁

I’d probably do the opposite of that, same rim diameter but more sidewall. Actually it depends on the car, some I’d like to go smaller sidewall and some taller. Still annoyed we don’t have any slot mags. There’s a lot of vintage rims we don’t have. They think everybody just put Cragars on their cars. At least we have centerlines and the fin turbo style rims. Which I’d like with less fins as well.
 
The difference between wheel and controller, or more so how PD treat them.

Over the weekend I set the wheel up for the first time in around 8-9 months, because I was set on getting back in to ACC. I hadn't played GT7 much recently due to annoyance at how easy it is to lock up the wheels while braking following the last major physics update, so decided to give it a go in Sport mode.

I was absolutely surprised to find that when using pedals, you can fully depress the pedal and NOT LOCK UP. It's also a lot easier to trail brake blahblahblah.

Now that it's back to a weekday and I have to use the desk for work, I put the wheel away. Decided today to run a few Daily Cs, and low and behold, even trying to modulate brake input, I'm back to either not quite applying enough brake or locking up.

I assume this is because the game register the pedal as a more gradual input from 0% to 100%< where as it treats controller braking as a more heavy brake due to the quicker change from 0% to 100%.

It sucks! Bring back the old braking for controller!
 
Blue Moon Speedway and Broad Bean Raceway don't turn their lights on during Night when they clearly have light mechanisms visible on the track

PS4 or PS5?
 
Zero2Oblivion
PS5.

Are you going to share some super secret that PD are trying to suppress, a secret that actually makes braking on controller "normal"?
Click to expand...
No. I don't have these problems with the PS5 controller. The triggers are actually really good. In fact, I have a really bad habit of resting my heavy *** finger on L2 and driving whole races with like 2% brake applied the whole time.

I ended up finding a work around. After getting the idea that there may be some brake sensitivity settings hidden somewhere, which there isn't, I decided to adjust the trigger range for the controller itself.

The Dualsense Edge gets it own adjustment settings in the console menus, with the user being able to setup different profiles. Included in these settings is the ability to adjust the min and max input of the triggers. After some tweaking, I found that 96% input is around where the brakes lock-up and you lose traction, so I've set the cap at 95%, meaning I'll never be able to exceed 95% pressure on the brakes. So far this is working pretty well, I've locked up a few times over 6 races, but trail braking has become a lot easier and the car is far less prone to understeer while braking.

What annoys me is that nobody in the gaming media ever asks PD/Kaz about key features that are missing. We'll see 100 questions about an obscure Daewoo that was promised back in 2003 but nobody asks about tire temps lol.

The media have asked Kaz questions like that before, but Kaz kind of avoids the question by giving typical vague answers.
 
One thing I really hate recently is when this happens, I was modifying a livery and it had a glitch in it and the game got stuck in intializing something, i get he spinny thing freezing, but i could not get out of the menu, this is really down to poor UI design the I cant exit to the main menu, instead of having to reset the whole game, my only remedy was the fast SSD to restart!

The same thing happened when I tried to download a TT ghost on the sport mode so bloody annoying.

That paint chips do NOT have the colours that are historically accurate for the vehicle. Example- the Lamborghini Countach LP400 1974, there is not Tahiti Blue available to paint my car with, there are similar chips but from other manufacturers, and I wish to have my older cars in authentic factory paint of the era...

My game crashes regularely while loading lists of things. Scroll down the garage too fast, crash. Scroll down saved race settings in the load menu while creating an online lobby or custom race, crash. I don't know if this is a PS4 thing or just this specific harddrive having hiccups due to it's old age, but it sure is annoying af.
 
Not annoying but something I have noticed. Some paints look a lot different on different cars. Some reds look orange on some cars and not others. I’ve always wondered why that is.

Yes I can sympthasise, but I am not on ps4, I am on a base release model PS5, so dont udnerstand why it happens more recently, I have plenty of space on the SSD still to hold another game size. I think it more a server side problem for Sony and PD.

Prior to installing an SSD in my PS4 I had problems with the PS4 system OS itself freezing and crashing as well as problems updating the firmware. I realized the issue for this was that the original PS4 HDD was failing and had a couple bad sectors. It is very possible your HDD might be starting to go bad. I've yet to have any issues with GT7 on the PS4 (or other games/apps) crashing since replacing the bad HDD with an SSD.

Thanks for the suggestion. Was actually looking into that a while back, but figured it's probably worth more putting that money toward a PS5 instead.

I have a PS5, mine does the same thing, it doesn’t crash but sometimes it just won’t load decals or display cars if you don’t give it a second. One thing that really bugs me is this game I used to boot up my system, open the game and boom I’m in. Now more than ever I have the loading circle, sometimes I have to close application and start again. I don’t think it’s my ps5, it’s the fact the game is all online. Is it loading on every car and every livery and every replay and every style every time I boot up the game? Maybe this issue is on their end. I have more than fast enough internet and I’m wired in.
