I'm pretty sure they want to but it's due to the amount of extra time required to make night races. For the sunny/dawn settings they only have to worry about one light source, which is the sun. For night races they have to set up all of the extra individual light sources in the circuit, which can range from 100s to 1000s.
Polyphony Digital Reveals GT Sport's "Iris" Ray Tracing System at CEDEC 2018
Since Polyphony Digital first launched Gran Turismo, the company has been creating some of the most graphically impressive titles in the video game industry. Detailed car models and beautiful lighting has been a hallmark of the series for more than 20 years. It's a bit of a mysterious art, thoughwww.gtplanet.net
Another topic of discussion is multiple lighting sources, the light from which overlaps and interacts with itself in many complex ways. The greatest challenge was presented by Northern Isle Speedway's night course, which has over 208 unique lighting sources.The Nurburgring has 2,308 light sources. Although they are spread out over a much larger area, the grandstands presented a unique challenge of their own, with a high density of lights in a small area.
That's totally fair, but honestly I'd be happy to pay for them if it's a cost issue. But it does a disservice to the tracks to pretend that they aren't raced at night.
It's also rather arbitrary... Nurburgring has night, Bathurst has night, so why not Le Mans or Spa, the most iconic 24h circuits? Are they just trying to make these updates cost efficient at this point since they're focused on GT7 development now?
My SO keeps complaining about the gear noise in my Logitech G29, and it just so happens that one of my friends wants to get into simracing and would take the G29 off my hands.
I love the G29 but more and more the noise is a dealbreaker. How's the T300RS GT Edition? My main concerns are noise and especially durability. Haven't heard good things about the latter. I'd have a 2 year warranty, however.
How do the G29 and T300 GT edition compare specifically in Gran Turismo Sport, since it's by far my most played game? And how bad does the rubber grip on the T300 feel VS the G29's leather?
What about the pedals? How do they compare, given their respective, included brake mods?
Oh, and I also play F1 2019 and the G29's FFB is godawful in that. Loud gear rattling noises constantly. How does the T300 fare?
I really got into the game recently and have been doing the Circuit Experience and Mission Challenges before getting into online races.
I have finished almost everything with gold but two things are missing
- Mission 8-8 (Nürburgring)
- One-lap circuit (Nürburgring)
This track is gonna be the end of me... I know it's basically a git gud situation and I'm getting better but it's driving me insane.
I have lost track how often I have re-started both challenges... the length alone is something else.. I drive nicely for 5 minutes just to take a corner at a slightly wrong angle and the whole thing is lost.
Some people probably laugh at me because the mission time is not even particularly hard, but Jesus.. this track requires such a high level of concentration.
Well... I just took a break to write this post.. will try again now.
If it makes you feel any better, it's taken me years of driving the Nürburgring to consistently not drive off the track in the latter half while maintaining an OK pace. I first drove it in GT5 online a ton since people always voted for it in lobbies and it's taken me until Sport to get a real handle on it. Looking back, I probably should've used the Nürburgring learning course in GT5 to get better. My style of learning tracks is to overdrive the car to get a feel for where the limits are which works really well for me on most tracks. That method kind of falls apart on big tracks with tricky sections like the Nürburgring and Spa so they took a long time to get down. Now I haven't done it myself, but adopting a more conservative style and gradually pushing harder each lap until you find the limit is probably more effective here.I really got into the game recently and have been doing the Circuit Experience and Mission Challenges before getting into online races.

Honestly I think you're fine for online races at this point. I've seen the ring come up before, but there are so many tracks with one off / Gr4 / Gr3 / Gr2 customizations it rarely comes up.I really got into the game recently and have been doing the Circuit Experience and Mission Challenges before getting into online races.

Damn! that makes me want to go play some GT sport. I think I will.This, the second half of the lap still kicks my ass after years of driving it... Most of the time im winging it.
But as said, once you get it right... its so satisfying.
Nice.
Been meaning to post my liveries here at some point. Also, yes, livery editor is a massive time sink.
You people are really freaking good at liveries. Anytime I try and make something it looks like poop.
There are two items for sale on the Playstation Store:
- Gran Turismo Sport
- Gran Turismo Spec II
What is the difference and which should I buy?
Spec II contains all updates up until October 2019 (saves the hassle of downloading ALL updates for the base game) and some bonus credits and cars. I have no clue why both of them are on sale though.
If I have save data already on my PS4 for the base version (Gran Turismo Sport) and then buy Spec II, will that save carry over? Does the PS4 see them as the same game?Spec II contains all updates up until October 2019 (saves the hassle of downloading ALL updates for the base game) and some bonus credits and cars. I have no clue why both of them are on sale though. You should only need Spec II. Here are the details

are you using a wheel? If you are and you have a shifter, maybe it is in 2nd gear?Maybe someone can help me. I just reinstalled the game after months and I tried Sport mode. In a Gr3 race, I used two different cars, but they were both stuck in 2nd gear, even tho I was in automatic transmission. The car wouldn't go above. What's happening there? Other players were zooming past me. Is there anew regulation? Is manual transmission mandatory in sport mode or something? I used to win races in Sport mode, but now I start races 40 seconds from the first player. Can someone explain to me what's going on?
Just a regular ds4. No wheel.are you using a wheel? If you are and you have a shifter, maybe it is in 2nd gear?
ugh. No idea, then.

Main Features Implemented
1. Cars
- The following new car has been added.
・Toyota GR Supra RZ '20
2. Physics Simulation Model
- The tire wear rate for Gr.4 FF cars (front engine/front-wheel drive) has been recalculated.
- The handling for all Gr.2, Gr.3, Gr.4 cars has been adjusted.
- The fuel consumption rate for all Gr.2, Gr.3, and Gr.4 cars has been reduced.
3. Sport Mode & Lobby
- "Fuel Consumption" and "Tire Wear" have been added to Qualifying races. As a result, tire wear and fuel consumption settings will be different for Qualifying and Final races.
- To coincide with the implementation of tire wear and fuel consumption in Qualifying, they can now be enabled during free practice and in pit lane when warming up.
- Drag reduction when the slipstream setting is on "Real" has been reduced.
Other Improvements and Adjustments
- We repaired an issue in Sport and Lobby modes where the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) setting was not applied as intended during a pit stop.
- Various other issues have also been addressed.
The last exampkle happened to me. Imagine the anger after being dive bombed many times with no penalty to the divebombers, many races ruined by dirty players who never get penaltys.... and then this happens to you:
5 seconds penalty for what exactly? Hitting a barrier?! I did not ruin anyone's race, did not touch anyone, lost tons of time ...but for some reason, the game decided I decided 5 (!!) seconds penalty!
WTF?
