This list applies to GT5/6 - but from spending many hours with the beta, I find GT Sport to be a huge step up. For example the GR4 Vette and Mustang V8s sound as good as any in Forza 6 in my view (I like both franchises).

I have the same issue. It's varied from car to car and from patch to patch even. It's not a settings thing.
Experienced it on Pc and ps4.
.....Still waiting on my invite Sony :/
The sound in pCars isn't really convincing through. Yes, they sound powerful, but that doesn't mean they sound realistic. Modern road cars have a lot of sound dampening, and the road cars in pCars' cockpit view sound like all that dampening was stripped out.
Yeah but I'm not sure if I should have to turn it down to around 35 to 40%% to not a get a headache. The game should be more reasonable then that. Even then it doesn't solve the issue sometimes. In fact if I move the slider on the higher scale then those numbers it doesn't sound like anything changes which is why I have to drop it this low.

I can't agree with the crew. Just no
New chase-cam settings in v1.05 gives option to adjust between GT5/6 stiff cam or GT3's more free flowing chase-cam.

Wait, is that what people have been complaining about with the chase cam? I've honestly never really understood what they were referring to when they talk about it being stiff.

That's cool I guess. Now give us a dash cam and let us turn off the hands and wheel.

They've also updated Dragon Trail. A lot more stuff around the track now and the end chicane before the tunnel now has barriers which prevents you from cutting the track and also makes it a lot more risky to take that corner at high speeds.
"Something not mentioned in the notes is that Dragon Trail has been updated. This is especially notable toward the end of the track (before you enter the tunnel) as it's now has tents all over the place and stands. There are also barriers nears the chicane now which prevent you from cutting any of the course there. It makes it's a bit more difficult to thread the needle at higher speeds than before. They've also introduced different sound effects when you beat your sector time/lap time. I guess this is so you know how you're doing if you have your HUD turned off."
lol, i'm quoting you on GTP! I'll stop now...

Something I didn't mention there is that I think the rumble strips have changed. It may just be my imagination because they've changed so many other things on the course, but they certainly don't feel like they're as big as they were before.

That's huge, apparently, because people have been whinging and moaning about that for years.
I don't use myself but people have been wanting it for years, so nice to see that ticked off. Nice it's not simply on/off either...

Lots of changes in the new version, but most notably there are races 24 hours a day, so everyone please come play! New race session every 20 minutes. They're still called "daily races" so I'm assuming the tracks will change out daily? Sometimes they have and sometimes they haven't over the past week. As the goal seems to be to bring in more server load across all hours, hopefully this means more invites might go out soon.
Car physics are different but it'll take testing. Sportsmanship rating is now a letter grade, and the grades seem to be more fuild which will help new players who are clean racers get to better competition more quickly.
The tracks look more polished and have more detail. In other words, there's an obvious step closer to it looking like an actual retail product now.

I'm glad they have races all day, now I can play more since I work most of the times they have had. Anyone want to do a comparison vid of these new track details? Does Nurburgring look a lot better?
At.
Fucking.
Last.
You didn't notice the shift from 3 to 4? Was pretty huge.

I didn't and I thought people were talking about the camera not shaking on bumps which it does in GTS. It did in GT5 until people complained.

Finally. Nice to see PD implement things quickly.

Still hoping to get a Jaguar F-Type R but probably it won't sound nearly as good as it does in Driveclub.

I'm enjoying unlocking a mystery car once a day, doing 2 Nordschleife laps for the 42km and learning the track.
Of course locking all the cars away in the full game would suck but I hope they'll keep a similar system.
When you've driven hundreds, maybe thousands of laps of those tracks (apart from Dragontail obviously), bashing out 26 miles just to unlock a random car isn't much of a draw (for me)

I unlock new cars on the oval tracks. It's the most effortless way to do it.
An easy grind is still a pointless grind.
Fuck that gaming model in 2017 - I personally outgrew it years ago.

Races are throughout the day now in 1.05,just done a brands indy after my cornflakes.

Well, I guess it is a way for PD to ensure people actually keep playing the beta-. If they did it like "here, take your five beta tracks and your ten beta cars, off you go!", people would just do some hotlapping for a couple of days and get bored of it and stop playing because they'd have seen everything that's in the beta already.
I think the majority of the people in the beta have no actual interest in actively helping to make the game better by providing feedback and data. They just want to play around with the maximum amount of cars and tracks they can get their fingers on, and if you delay how fast people can chew through the limited beta content, the longer they'll keep playing, generating more data for PD to analyze.

That's good to know, thanks.
I'm expecting a similar unlock model in the final game though, unless there's been a sudden seismic shift in PD's game-structure philosophy. Most traditional GT fans are probably hoping for some kind of grind/reward system too. It's deeply ingrained in the franchise's DNA.
OMG. DAY FUCKING 1. THANK JESUS!!! Man, I've been complaining about this for over a decade. It literally reduced the amount of time I played GT games past 3. It was the only game that had this weak ass sticky camera.

Shandy, man that wall of high-res PC Forza screens. lol.
You appreciate GTS's vegetation shaders and lighting more when you see how flat it all looks in Pcars. All 60fps racers have a mass use of 2d billboards though. I think GTS needs to up its res to make it look better, and there are some large low-res looking billboards in the background behind the 3D trees that's pretty noticeable, so I hope those are just placeholders.
pCars ps4
GTS
Yesterday I took a shot of my driving because of the trees, just to make a comparison with GTS and how the lighting reacts on them :

Doubt that will even be in the final game.
That's nice for arcade gamers...but is anyone asking for a proper bonnet cam in the official forums?
I think it should be if PD really do have serious eSports ambitions for GTS.

The #1 time on Dragon Trail right now is set with the 458 Italia. I guess someone finally managed to tame it.

Very Good direction, now the camera needs to move according to the actions of the car. There is no sense that you are breaking when you brake, same for acceleration. If the camera can translate that it'll make the chase cam officially great.

This is shaping up nicely...
Just please give me some training wheels before I go online Kaz. Flesh out the campaign just a bit more for us scrub drivers, and then I will happily go online to earn cool cars.
Also where's the production cars? I haven't seen a Subaru or Honda yet.
