(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Could we use this thread to track what the effects of 2.12 are? For the public interest. I'll keep the OP updated as news comes in.

We know that:
- Cars with hybrid parts (chassis, drivetrains) have been returned to stock.
- Car data now read from game data, rather than save data.
- X2010 JP no longer displayed.
- Special Gift items, (such as the L4/L5 turbos, L4/L5 weight reduction and triple plate clutch) can still be applied.
- Special tyres (RSS, SSS, (C), (V)) still usable.
- BHP multiplier no longer in effect.


Can someone confirm if :

- Stock cars with HP/Grip multipliers are affected.
- Settings changed beyond standard range are affected (Downforce/ridge height/etc)
- Gift items are affected
- Gift tickets are affected
- Money/XP levels have been altered
- Anything else?

Custom colors still works! my RE Amemiya RX7 is still red and btw, how do you use the lvl 4/5 turbo and engine tune ups?

If you have garage editor v 1.3.1. you can add a lot of tickets:

car tickets
tuning tickets(dont add nitro it doesnt work)
paint chips
gift car tickets (dont put red bull x2010 JP flag it doesnt work anymore)

go to the items menu in gt life menu, then you select the parts you want to install.

i have the normal version of gt5 and cant use stealth cars but i the other dlc cars are ok

I don't know what went wrong with PD's update. Both Accounts on the old FAT were denied every legit DLC I have bought. Completely erase from my savegame :mad:
I just re-downloaded ALL the crap from the store (was installed automatically then). Everything is fine now

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the cars and stuff are now on game data? i saw on gtp (I may have read wrong though) that this is on the disk. Is it possible to make some software, put the disk in your computer, and open the game and cars up this way? Just wondering. i have no experience with how this making programs and things work, so I could be completely wrong. lol.

dam... im just gonna leave them be if thats the case

If you were planning to mod the disc, you would have to recompile the entire disk and be able to burn it in a way that allowed your un-jailbroken PS3 to run the disc. Not really an option.

I've heard from a couple friends after updating the game that they still have one hacked car? Like one of my friends said he still had a HP hacked nsx after he updated it said he was online and everything. So maybe a couple cars might slip through the mod checking process?

Only possible on a Jailbreaked consol with changing Gamedatas in the played gameimage. All other stories not worked ALL cars get the Data from the org.Game so Savegame changes take no effect.
Open your modded cars in the Editor you will see all the changes are their but take no Effect.
And I am sure with the next Patch they will fixed the Lvl 4+5 Updates which worked up to now.
Because their are cars which get overpowered with the turbos LvL4+5 and the weight tickets. For example ZX300,Supras and Lotus 350 and the LP`s will not go up very high. A "normal" tuned GT500 car have no change against them. The cars has over 1000HP and about 1000Kg and they also perfect Dirftcars with the right setup.
