Alternatively, you will be free to change between different cars and camera modes.

Other Improvements and Adjustments

1. Physics Simulation Model
 - The behavioural models for the suspensions and the steering have been adjusted:
  ・Calculation of suspension geometry has been improved, resulting in more natural cornering physics and acceleration/deceleration stability levels;
  ・Calculation of steering geometry has been improved, resulting in more accurate simulation of steering forces;
  ・Damper attenuation behaviour have been adjusted, resulting in more natural physics on road bumps and kerbs.

 - The tyre physics simulation model has been adjusted:
  ・Turning stability on low speed corners and kerbs has been improved;
  ・Surface resistance (rolling resistance) has been optimised;
  ・Heat and wear behaviour have been adjusted on Racing tyres;
  ・Grip reduction on the racing line in wet conditions, and hydroplaning physics have been adjusted.

 - Default settings have been adjusted:
  ・Initial suspension and aerodynamics settings have been changed on all race cars and certain road cars.

 - Performance Points (PP) for all featured cars have been updated;

 - The wireless controller steering algorithm has been updated:
  ・The steering algorithm when using the analogue sticks or the directional pad has been improved, resulting in better handling.

 - Controller behaviour for steering wheels have been updated:
  ・The force feedback algorithm has been adjusted, allowing devices to use their full torque range;
  ・The steering geometry calculation have improved, resulting in better force feedback feeling.

 - The effects of the following driving assists have been updated:
  ・The Traction Control (TCS) assist intervention has been optimised;
  ・Corner braking control for ABS (anti-lock brakes) has been optimised.

2. Controllers
 - Fixed an issue wherein force feedback vibration on the Logitech® G923 was too sensitive;
 - Adjusted the strength of the vibration effect on the Logitech® PRO Racing Wheel;
 - Improved the performance stability for all Fanatec® steering controllers;
 - The LEDs of the four sticks on the Fanatec® GT DD Extreme will now light up in the colour of the corresponding MFD;
 - Adjusted the Tuning Menu Auto Setup parameters for the Fanatec® GT DD Pro/Extreme, and Podium.

Selecting 'Auto Setup' (AS or A SET) from the Tuning Menu on the wheel will load the optimal parameters for playing Gran Turismo. A firmware update may be required in order to enable the Auto Setup function on your device. On the Podium mode, Auto Setup is intended for use in Low Torque mode. The use of High Torque mode will require manual adjustments.

3. World Circuits
 - Time settings have been adjusted for all Circuit Experience events, and all demonstration replays have been updated. Additionally, all rankings boards have been reset.

4. Licence Centre
 - Time settings have been adjusted for all Licence events, and all demonstration replays have been updated. Additionally, all rankings boards have been reset.
