Edited to qualify: because of dynamic Tod and weather. The difference isn't big enough to justify the omission of those features because they add a lot to the overall experience.
Apologies, dipping in and out, posting from my phone between loading screens.

There's no global illumination yet give it a rest no game or engine in a current racing game can properly emulate that yet

Man the GT UI has always been so beautiful. Glad to see they're keeping up the aesthetic.

Two racing games already have good GI solutions, it's definitely possible.
UI is awesome, load times are not long, performance is great on the Pro...
...but FUCK EVERYONE who has forbidden G27 to be officially used on PS4. I am forced to use DS4 like a peasant. I haven't used controller to drive a sim game since GT4 [and even there I did it briefly].

Did the three qualifications, waiting 30 mins now for the first race (ugh).
1st impressions (ps4 pro but no 4k TV)...
"oh it's steering and braking for me" - what a terrible idea as the default for an online Sport mode. Makes the game feel like complete mush on rails.
So I come out of the game again and dial everything down - OK more normal - but I don't like knowing I'm potentially competing with people who can use a lot of these settings to make everything easier. I want everything to be 'balanced/fair' like back when GT Academy demo locked all those settings down. Imagine competing in Rocket League online against people with 'auto shoot/save'.
Brans Hatch / Yellow Megane RS - sounds OK, nothing special, game looks OK, car model perfect looking, track detail looks like a typical 60fps game of this generation. Overall, nothing mind blowing, but nothing much wrong, thumbs up.
Dragons Tail / Some shitty Hyundai - sounds terrible, so anemic and pathetic, my shitty peugeot in real life feels more visceral and exciting doing 40 in a 30 zone. This is so painfully boring and slow to drive. The worst of GT memories are flooding back to me. The track - well I like it, nice location, seems like it would be nice to drive at speed, but graphically it varies between being similar to Brans Hatch (with a nicer location) to pig-ugly. There are PS2-era track-side rocks littered everywhere. Severely hope this track isn't finished. Hard to describe what looks so poor, but you just know if when you see it, old-school cardboard cutout polygons, not used to seeing much of this last decade. Think Trial Mountain's ugly upgrade last generation. It's a pity because I visually really like certain bits of this track, the seaside, the boats, the tunnel, the end/start part.
The triangle ring - well it's a ring, as rings go it looks nice, I enjoyed it more than I thought, maybe anything was going to seem/sound good compared to that Hyundai on Dragons Tail. Audi GT3 car sounds reasonable, and the track looked like a modern game. But please Poly - no more rings, stop wasting development time on rings.

Come on, DieH@rd. You were the one who created the GIMX thread, why not try it? He sells pre-made adapters now from the website, so no need to fiddle with making it yourself. No excuses

I agree with you that the wheel situation is ridiculous.

Hyundai Genesis Gr.4,
- brake balance doesn't do anything (fully to the rear, car understeers heavily under braking, fully to the front and it doesn't feel different)
- unbelievable turn-in response, with the weight to the front from braking, a fast twist of the wheel does the same as a smooth and slow turn-in
- very high front camber values make the FFB feel a little lighter, no idea
- with TCS off, it a bit too easy to get the wheels spinning
- with that bad FOV all my feel for when to brake is *poof* gone (or brake distances are really really long, maybe I'll check that later)
- had to turn the EV to +2.00 to see the track from cockpit view
The first 2 really bug me, there is something wrong with the physics, probably should try more cars, but I have a headache now. I usually get that from unlocked framerates under 60 but while playing the framerate seemed super good (maybe I'm just dehydrated).

I tried tuning that car at the Ring yesterday for an hour. I want to balance it to a touch of oversteer and couldn't do it. I was setting things to extreme ends and the car barely felt different. Even the difference between full and min downforce barely changed it. Most other cars I make minor tweaks and I am good. That car is the in-tuneable for me right now.

my entry was cancelled, game says I'm not connected to the internet, but when I test internet connection it works, 70mbit/s.
Well that's great. Connection error when timer went to zero at 17:00. "I have no internet". Riiiight.
I'm off to watch F1 qually, hopefully servers will not be fucked up after it.
For years now I work the full time job with heavy machinery that pays less than 1$ per hour [which is better than many around me get] and no paid expenses of any kind [food, travel, skick days]. I will get GIMX when I'm able to do so.

Yep spent ages practing for my first race and got booted out with network error, so wait for the second race and got booted out again.
Now it says there are no daily races available so I can't do anything now. :-/
Has anyone actually completed a race yet or did everyone just get booted out?
