I don't know. I've been very critical of PD and GT6 on this thread but I'm certainly excited about the new Sierra circuit. Isn't it twice the length of Nurburgring or something?

No its 27km (16.7 miles) long. 1km longer than the Nurburgring 24 hour circuit.

Although it's quicker to lap than the ring. Think average speed is 100mph vs 80mph for the ring.

For me I'd prefer more classics or racing cars not more skylines and I'd prefer real circuits.

Too right, I really don't know why there is a need for 20 different MX5s, 30 Skylines and so on, MORE VARIETY please, look at what FORZA offers, plenty more Euro and US cars.

Or they could focus on making all cars premium, I kind of like the idea of vision GT however I have never used any of the cars once I've done the seasonal.

That as well, the non premiums are rubbish if you want to use the interior view.

Did anything come of the poll/petition for new cars on GTplanet?

[stephen300o]

Fun new thing'me bob, takes me back to outrun.

[Raify]

Oh dear, the update appears to have turned down the force feedback on most wheels to almost zero. My Logitech has gone from "Gt3 RS" steering to "Honda Jazz with the city button turned on". Lots of others reporting similar.

Although some are saying that it's improved it as now FFB varies between cars.

You can now adjust feedback in quick menu

[kiseca]

I just tried it, yes it is very light and I have not played with the settings for strength or sensitivity but so far I much prefer it. I used to have the feedback strength set to 1 anyway because I found it more obstructive than informative, and even then it used to moan and fight like a trooper when trying to wind off opposite lock. Lots of useless wriggling and pushing, but very little feedback that actually told me what the wheels were up to. I do know some who used to have their feedback on very strong and preferred that, and I can see how they'd be put off by the new settings.

[Darkdice]

Yeah physics especially on new track are very acardie!

Whacked mine up made no difference. I'll try the old way later

[Fartgalen]

FFB has gone ! WTF ?! There's no feel there. (Very very little anyway).

Bathurst seasonal is good fun, gonna push hard for a spot-on lap

[Martin350]

My Logitech Driving Force GT now has no steering at all!

All other buttons and controls work, I can even beep the horn, but I can't go round corners.

Did you have issues with frame rates?

[Norbury90]

Nope, was fine for me...

You might need to reconfigure it in main menu.

Mine is working tremendously and the adjustable force feedback is gooood.

Loving the new Sierra track , although perhaps a bit too easy to get Gold with the Fiat an 'Rocco (which I must say is a good steer), the Ferrari is tougher.

[Martin350]

Ah, ok, I'll try that tonight, thanks!

And yes, I enjoyed Sierra last night too, even without the wheel!

[Fartgalen]

Another little update today. Seems like they've fixed the force feedback problem.
TFFT !
