Apparently the game install might be corruppted, time to install again, and download all updates, plus DLC...

Hope it's not my save file, as I have 2 accounts here, with their own save file and neither work

Quote from chavm481 :

anygone got a truck i can borrow ? its hard to find one.
i will trade a VW Lupo 1.4 '02 for ANY truck especially a doge ram.

I saw a big V8 powered truck a few days back, I knew I should have bought it, oh well

Now my game won't get past the screen where it says to press OK... even with net connection off, just freezes

Chrisuu01 - uploading a video of your track now a GT-R, pretty challanging to drive fast on, and it needs to be wider IMO
Noticed a bit of damage on my GT-R, from my off track excursions, even after the first hit, in Arcade mode time trial

Anyone with facebook want to score a Chromeline XJ13?
Play the app, and do 4 grudges, and you'll get a download code for it
EU version only though
http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=135391
It's buggy but it worked, just play it 4 times as explained and then refresh after each time it freezes then go to profile and codes are on the right



Chrisuu01 - enable your created track for sharing with friends, otherwise I can't download it

Quote from BlueFlame :

B-spec. The ai are retarded... I mean, it says low mental strength means a mistake will be made, but just gunning it before the apex of a hairpin and hitting a wall and then doing donuts in reverse whilst taking everyone else out isn't 'a mistake' it's just bad ai. Terrible, so frustrating to do a b-spec race, i end up screaming at my TV cos my ai drivers don't overtake and when they do it's always round teh outside and they run out of road because they just keep their foot in it.



Worst thing about GT5 so far imo.



The only 'mistakes' a driver makes as a rookie or even a pro, are outbraking themselves, going for an opportunity that was never there, and maybe just a spin out of a hairpin or something. But the 'mistakes' teh ai drivers make aren't like a human mistake, they make it the same time every lap on the same corners.

Your just a bad manager
When he gets hot, he'll be running faster but be a lot more mistake prone, until he gets to certain level then the other stats start to matter more

Quote from jibber :

It feels very similar to Prologue in terms of physics. A little more smooth and not as nervous anymore, but there's smiliratities no doubt. It's like they went from Prologue to TT demo and back.

Yeah that greatly dissappointed me
I wanted TT with better model.... The TT had better feeling nuances

I can show of to you with my very challenging tricky and demanding track.
I will ad you on psn.
Maybe you could make a video of it?

Sure

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

I wonder how you can share tracks online since I used the eifel theme to make a very good track.
Maybe I should post a vid, but I don't know how to record.

And for me you video wont load or just freeze.

Probably just need to reload your browser.

Need a video capture car to record it
GT5 is supposed to have a Youtube uploader, but it's not active yet...

You can only share tracks with your PSN friends, within GT5. Only 1 track at a time as well
You just click on their profile within the game and on the track icon, if they have shared anything you can download it there.
I think you can host an online race with the track in your lounge with your friends.

Here is a track I made today using the Effiel circuit theme.
Someone wanted to know if you can do long straights? Well you sure can, but hilly straights


I used 5 sections, all with complexity of 0, and corner sharpness of 5.
Very angular high speed track, parts of it remind of Bathurst
Going for the Le Mans type feel.

Time of day was set at 2pm. I find it looks the best at this time of the day. GT5's lighting engine makes everything look too dark at other times or just weird.... Noon just looks really flat.

This theme doesn't look as good as the others. The grass is a bit pukey.
The pop up is annoying, and the track is too smooth, and lacking in cambers.

Demo'ed it with a race with Super GT cars in arcade mode. Will have to try it with LMPs. I called it Straight Ring

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Does anyone know if it's possible to set standard driving options across all cars?

It's really irritating every time I go into a different car to have to turn the traction control off....

I'm around level 13 and just doing the AMG challenges for quick money and experience points.

Oh and for those who say there is no damage before level 20, lies. I crashed my RX7 flat out into a wall (accidentaly) and while the bumper was still intact there were a hell of a lot of scratch marks. Plus if I am to test drive a Focus ST rally car then the bumpers all crease up.

I think it remebers it for each car in your garage, but not for the others

My B-Spec controlled Mazda AZ-1

Tuned up a bit, added the aero parts, there are 2 choices. Painted it silver, and painted the wheels with a yellow colour, thought it would be a flat looking paint, but it turned out looking like the glossy Subaru gold wheels

Quote from Stefani24 :

Just not possible to drive if it's the same on other cars....I didn't even breaked 60% and totally lost the car...

Adjust the brake balance, it's defaulted to 5:5, set it to 5:3 and you'll be ok for most cars. You can map the RA menu functions to the controller or a control pad on port 1 if using a wheel to access this on track. Just make sure to press the PS3 button on the controller to wake it up. It tends to shut off after a while.

A newer one would be better for reliability. The chips got smaller and cooler over time.
I use an old 21 inch Sony CRT Trintron monitor for both PC and PS3. Have an XCM component to VGA unit to feed it.

How I earned my Roll Over Trophy - although not quite a full roll over

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yQfJqFSjvU

Crash and damage at level 8. I hear that damage gets worse as your A-Spec level goes up. Just a one make race against the AI.
First time I've noticed scuffs on the side of the car (after the first crash in the video)

Here is that Shelby Cobra cockpit vid as requested. Horns and wipers in action as well

On a custom 7+km course generator track I made using the Toscana Tarmac theme. Full course run starts at 2:25.
Stock Shelby Cobra, hard Sports tyres all round, no aids and ABS brakes. Brake bias adjusted to 5:3. Using a DFGT wheel.
Tricky car to drive on the limits!!

I only used 4-5 sections here from memory. Narrowest road width, corner sharpness at 0, course complexity varies between 8-10. I basicly started this at 0 and bump it up by 1 each time and observe the changes. If it looked complicated then I kept it

Could work well as a Targa tarmac rally stage, I haven't tried it like that yet.

Weird flickering stuff looks buggy....
Anyway you can grab it from my profile ingame, currently sharing it, PSN same as user name
Annoying that we can only share 1 track at a time

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Didn't know i could do that.. you mean that "Ferrari" red thingy? Sometimes i accidentaly turn it, but i don't see no indication that something changed..

Yeah tap the centre button on the dial to bring up the RA menu. Press the +/- keys on the centre left of the wheel to choose a setting, turn the red dial to change it

Quote from Boris Lozac :

But it's 10 kilos lighter I thought i was going crazy, tried everything but couldn't get it under 1:14... then i bought the '89 version, and did 1.13.242
It's cheaper and faster.. but i like the steering wheel on '91

It feels like track day with these Eunos'es on Tsukuba.. :bowdown:

Did you adjust the stock brake balance? with ABS off the 5:5 brake balance all cars have will make you flip around on braking. I normally set it to 5:3. Quite easy to do on track with the DFGT off course with the RA menu function

Quote from logitekg25 :

explain dawedust

and are there any comparable to lfs cars in this game? (as in is there a starion? opel vectra? raceabout? ect..)

and is there a way to look left and right like in LFS, or not like in GT4. are there directional lights? hazards? can you turn on your wipers whenever, even when the weather is perfect? lights when the sun is out?

Yeah, except no turn indiactors or hazards

I have a cockpit view video of a Shelby Cobra I'm making for someone here that requested it, that shows the wipers in action and horn etc

Made a Photo travel vid for the Integra Type R DC5

Quote from Dygear :

Or a SSD, that would be plenty fast for 720p video capture.

Do you have a link for the PCIe version of this card, I'd like to take a look at it. I want to get a capture card for my media computer and this thing seems to be right up my street!

The PCIe and External one share the same page. the pics don't show it, but the PCIe version has a breakout cables that fit into the ports for connection. Plenty of vids on Youtube showing how to use it

Quote from Hotdogxx60 :

In the old GT series could you do a brake upgrade in the tuning shop, I can't remember as it looks like the brakes are either very good to start with or they progressively get better as you upgrade.

Since GT never modelled any brake fade, they didn't make any difference.
People have conducted detailed tests, hardly any difference between the brake upgrades
The braking power had more to do with tyre grip than anything else

Quote from Gabkicks :

do u guys have capture cards? how do u get the video from ps3 to pc? I was gonna get a 1080p hdmi capture card till i saw they cost almost as much as my graphics card...

I'm using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro Shuttle, you need a USB3 port for it, and X58a chipset motherboard. About $200AUD or so
There is a PCIe version which is fairly cheap and will run with any motherboard. But you have to use component out for the PS3, since HDMI has HDCP protection, all you get is a black screen. Also need a fairly fast PC to do the MJPEG compression or a RAID setup to capture uncompressed 720p footage.

Another alternative is the Hauppage HD PVR, that has a built in encoder chip so it doesn't need a good PC and it runs into a USB2 port.

Me messing around with a Lexus IS-F at Tsukuba. Man they really improved the sound of it compared to the Prologue version. Sounds like the real deal now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3RrFA4Xdl0

Real thing to compare
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGTVOT2R3xg


Some pics of my B-Spec controlled Integra
He won his first race when I ordered to overtake right off the grid to get into first place - that helps. Coasted for most of the laps to keep him cool, and then when the other cars started to pile on the pressure, picked it up for the win.

Some of the standard cars like the Ford GT look pretty good.

My PSN - if anybody wants to add me CoolColJ
And if I can copy GT5 saves across to my other account - GTP_CoolColJ
I've already added a few people here

Anyway I read that physics change difficult at higher levels?
Some cars are already hard to drive like the F40, but it's subtle things that I'm not sensing that the Time Trial had. We'll see.

That Cape Ring tracks is sweet - love it!

BTW I shared 2 course maker tracks of the Mount Aso theme - check it out in my GT5 profile - it's pretty cool to drive on, only 3 sections, but it's quite a long drive

The Lexus IS-F had a nice sound upgrade from the Prologue version
Sound exactly like in the PD vids and demo vids I posted before.
Quite like the real thing - wonder what it sounds like with with upgrades

And use the larger dynamic range sound options in the menu, much better isntead of the squashed audio you get with living room setting. This way loud cars really do sound loud vs a stock car

I finally got a copy, not the one ordered, just a copy from EBGames, which I will return when the one I ordered gets here.

Anyway, it does feel better with a controller than GT5:Prologue and the Time Trial, but the physics with a wheel don't feel as good as I remebered the Time Trial feeling, in general, but the sliding/drifting feels better. It feels more like Prologue felt with a wheel FFB wise - strange :/

And I think Prologue and the Time Trial actually looks better in some ways. Better shadows that's for sure, especially under the car, which kinda makes GT5 look more floaty. The field of view and shades of colour just feels so different on Suzuka vs the Prologue version. Too dark perhaps, not quite as clear looking or something. Just did a run on Suzuka, with dynamic weather has the track go from rain to sunshine.

Did a few Track Creator runs on the Mount Aso theme. That was pretty cool.

I dunno, some things were better in GT4, like the wheel shop. And the layout and overall look in Prologue was better.
I have the FFB at maximum and it still doesn't feel like it's enough...Whereas in the Time Trial, FFB at 5 was plenty! Something has changed, but not all good it seems...

Was hoping for GT5 to be like what I got in the Time Trial, but improved. I could play the TT back to back with iRacing and it still felt good, but just a little bit more numb in FFB. So in many ways I'm glad I did get a PS3 to experience the Time Trail to feel what might have been.

I'll see how things feel tommorrow after a good night's sleep.

We also received a lot of demands for having more regulations placed on the online play.
We're going to perform an update on the 27th that will include things like max power restrictions and weight restrictions.

Hopefully getting the game tomorrow, can i do anything while it's doing that full install?

Fap Fap

The Dynamic theme for the XMB that comes with the CE is pretty crap... doh
