Particularly if you did not use graphite lube on the cable and there was any binding... the needle would bounce a good 10-20 MPH

But when they did work rate the refresh rate was perfect!

Meh. They managed to get satellites into orbit and people into space an back with nothing much more than analog "computers" and slide rules for a couple of decades. I am sure that the quantum physics involved in your car's MPH is not all that relevant.

Nope. It would have been a whole different answer if I had!
The unfortunate part is that some would have.

I think that, surprisingly (to me anyway), its going to be a 4.3 final drive ratio. Personally I think that's a little overboard considering the new power to weight, but I guess they wanted to do as much as they could to make the car feel quick in all of the gears. |

And yeah correct about the lack of spending money. I had checked the gear ratios for our tranny back to some of the older cars that had it, and yeah if I recall they were almost identical across the years, apart from I think it was 4th or something being a fraction different.

It was the LFA, the V10 that yamaha helped with couldn't keep up with their standard tachometer, so somewhere in the 8+ year development cycle they revamped the cluster. Which, in hindsight, if you look at toyota's and lexus today, that same technology is used in their current cars with the metal bezel that moves.

Here's a video of the digital GR 86 in Grand Tourismo.
As most other games, they've decided to not artificially lower the refresh rate. Same behavior with the 1st gen in Assetto Corsa. I drove quite a few laps in it recently and had zero issues with the high refresh rate of the speedo. Last edited by timurrrr; 07-09-2021 at 09:38 PM. |

Actually the first display is jumping on km/h. You can see it at 31:15 of this video

Absolutely on purpose and for generally sound reasons. As you stated the polling and refresh rates are far from limiting factors.
