first i think you should watch the demo video on each test. pay attention to braking point and throttle application. and dont afraid to use assist

or you can watch these





@Hyde`fK its hard to find one online now i think



my GT collection so far. dont ask me why i have multiple copies of the same game lol

yeah, probably. lets wait for more people to get the game

i think thats the way PD wants you to play the game this time around, i guess. finish the cafe mission first, then play the rest of the game. i'm going that route.



in other news

grinding for gold in license tests is brutal

not that MUCH better hahaha. still hard. finally all gold IA. S license next!

actually the demo video built in the game is actually very helpful when i'm stuck. from the video what i'm usually looking for is gearing and braking point

yes. agree with this.

some tips on setting up hdr



and wonderful onboard IRL

probably connection dengan server



this is my setup for GT4. so don't worry guys if you start small. Altho people might say that my current setup is expensive, but i rarely buy them new. all are second hand stuffs.

middle range thrustmaster eco system is good already, because they offer upgrade paths.

i always looked at this youtuber for inspiration.

last years' picture. basically fanatec rig mounted on aluminum profile rig. using a 32 inch 4k monitor.

@pelpiero : i think that time logitech g25 is the premium wheel. DFP is slightly pricier sebab GT and PS branding. DFP still alive until today lol ( i got too many steering wheel bases lol)

@rx330 : cafe mission is basically tutorial of the game and to unlock parts of the game modes\area. simple but annoying to old timer

kemon bro pel, buy dd pro please then sell to me second hand hehehe

S license test progress : all gold except S1, S5 and the infamous S10 huhu

yes. when i went back to my hometown last weekend, i just bring along my ps5 to play GT7. it is easy to play the game with controller. Remember, GT7 was built around majority of its players are using controller.
but using a wheel give you more immersion while playing the game.

can you use the controller to play the game? yes. can you be faster than the wheel user when using a controller? yes

case in point

actually S7 is quite okay because the formula car has tons of downforce and you hardly brake and laguna seca

Update 1.06

An update for Gran Turismo 7 has been released. The following is a list of the main features introduced.

Main Features Implemented
1. Race Display
　- Added wind direction and wind speed indicators. An arrow (wind direction) and number (wind speed) will be displayed on the upper right of the screen under the Track Map.

2. Music Replay
　- Added 64 music tracks.

Other Improvements and Adjustments
　　　　1. Progression blocks and application errors
　- Fixed a very rare issue wherein progress made on a Menu Book would not be recognised and prevented players to continue their playthrough;
　- Fixed an issue wherein an application error would occur when using the broadcast features of the PlayStation®4 system;
　- Fixed an issue wherein an application error would occur when 'Shoot' is selected in 'Race Photo' during a replay displayed in 4K on the PlayStation®4 Pro system and with the aspect ratio set to 16:9;
　- Fixed an issue wherein an application error would occur when 'License Plate' is selected in 'GT Auto' under [Car Customisation] > [Other], while progressing Menu Book No. 20, 'Show Your Custom Wing.'

2. World Circuits
　- Fixed an issue wherein the actual time of day in a 'Custom Race' of some tracks would not match the selection made in [Time / Weather Settings] > [Timeframe];
　- Fixed an issue with the Sector 2's Bronze target time in the 'Circuit Experience' of the 'Willow Springs Raceway: Streets of Willow Springs' track that made the Bronze prize unachievable;
　- Fixed an issue wherein it was possible to choose cars without dirt tyres installed from the [Settings] > [Change Car] of the Quick Menu during a 'Time Trial' and 'Drift Trial' on Dirt tracks;
　- Fixed an issue with the weather for all race events;
　- The Overtake function for the Dallara SF19 Super Formula / Honda '19 has been disabled in the Licence test 'S-7' (One Lap Time Attack) within the 'Licence' pavilion. (The ranking boards have been reset.)

3. GT Auto

　- Deleted the 'Duplicate on Opposite Side' and 'Duplicate Symmetrically' menu items from the 'Layer Controls' of the left and right arms while editing Racing Suit Livery;
　- Fixed an issue wherein work results would not be applied in 'Car Maintenance & Service' if the work is selected by moving the cursor with the Left stick.

4. Car Settings
　- Fixed an issue wherein the Setting Sheet would become blank, and the setting content could not be saved. With this fix, the blank setting sheets will remain but you will be able to delete these normally. This will also fix the progression blockers encountered when the Menu Book tasks involved Car Settings;
　- Fixed an issue wherein a car would return to its original wheels if the Setting Sheet was modified while a non-standard wheel was equipped;
　- Fixed an issue wherein the 'Top Speed (Automatically Adjusted)' would not adjust properly when a Fully Customisable transmission was installed;
　- Fixed an issue wherein the speeds displayed under Rotational G's were incorrect;

9. Options

10. Steering Controller
　- Fixed an issue wherein the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter would not operate properly when connected to the USB. Please note that the PlayStation®5 console is not compatible with this USB connection. The shifter can be used by connecting it directly to the steering wheel base using a 'DIN-to-DIN' cable.

11. Others
　- Fixed an issue wherein clearing all licence tests on wet surfaces would not award the Bronze trophy ‘Rain Royalty.’ Players who have already cleared the relevant tests can acquire the trophy by clearing the tests again;
　- The Race Demo displayed during Auto Demos has been changed to a Music Replay;
　- Various other issues have been addressed.

From what i read, the new update causes this. i guess people who completed the test before the patch did not encountered such issues. probably you have to skip this one until PD releases a new patch.

Off topic
