Look at his rival times. Where I'm from, Nitro Boost power ups are required to set those times.

Servers down?

They sent out a message yesterday notifying they'd be doing server maintenance this morning.

I don't recall how long they were supposed to be down.

Ah, thank you very much.

Loving this game a ton- anyone have details on the new mad katz wheel and how it will compare to the Logitech line available on the ps3?

Right now, after using the Logitech GT wheel for GT5 - I cannot use the MS Wheel anymore - the feedback is so low - I keep going back to the controller?

Whats everyone using as a controller?

 

[flyinpiranha]

There's a better way.

Hold the guide button.

Select turn off controller.

Power on other controller.

Play.

This wasn't working with the Fanatec wheel, unless I'm not giving it time or something. But when I booted up the controller after turning off the wheel it would show second player which couldn't control the menus.

 

[Jube3]

Servers down?

Yes will be back up soon.

"We will be performing server maintenance on Tuesday, Oct. 18 from 9-11 a.m. PDT. During this time, our servers will be down."

 

[skyfinch]

Wow, that sucks. I managed a 1 minute lap around the Top Gear track in the Kia. Unfortunately with the servers down, it didn't record my time.....

3 minutes on nordschleife. Damn you, servers.......

I just do this...
When switching from wheel to controller: Press power button to turn off wheel. Press Xbox button on controller to turn on controller.
When switching from controller to wheel: Detach battery pack from controller (takes a second). Then turn on the wheel like you would normally.

Works every time.

Sweet, I'll give this a shot. I always think "damn, that would make a sweet shot!" and when the race is over don't feel like powering shit down just to get that one photo.

This sounds like it will work perfectly. A hassle and it sucks, but better than nothing for sure.

Anyone that gor the LCE still thinking on getting Season Pass? So far I'm still getting the majority of cars on each level that I proceed, plus those extras in the LCE are really good.

I would love to know what type of cars will they be adding before I put my points in the Season Pass.

BTW the DLC's are going to come out only in November right? Except the american muscle car pack but I already own those from the LCE.

From the last half a century you will get classics, youngtimers, legends, but also the latest and greatest from all categories including some racecars.

And yes the first of many packs to follow is coming this November. Every month a new one and maybe something inbetween.

just power the wheel off, the controller wont disconnect unless power is shut off for some reason. So I just click off the power to the wheel and then turn on controller.

An Audi R18 would be really

Indeed it would be.

I wonder if we can get the new 908 sans livery like the Z4 GT3.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

That's only for imperial units (BHP / ft-lbs) isn't it? the cross over point is obviously different depending on the units used IIRC*


*Awaits correction..

Correction: whp, not bhp. Bhp is measured at the crank, and doing dynographs based on the crank numbers isn't easy nor accurate. It works for all dynographs using whp.

 

[Pepto]

Can not wait for the 0 credits bug to get fixed. Playing with the controller is great but I need my wheel.

why can't you use the wheel?

 

[Pepto]

why can't you use the wheel?

I need to max out my credits.

 

[sneaky77]

I need to max out my credits.

Did you try setting the wheel to 270 degrees? That fixed it for me

 

[Arucardo]

Played most of the day with the Fanatec at 900 degrees and the 0 credits bug doesn't happen often enough to really bother me.

Might try this later.

lucky you, to me it was happening on every race in WT

Ouch, I've had it happen 4 or 5 times while playing up to level 14.

Hopefully the servers crapping out constantly is a sign of the game selling way better than expected.

The servers have been getting molested. I hope so too

so much for wanting to trade my 1M code for a CR-Z

This doesn't accurately represent the sales amount but the last time I checked, leaderboards for circuits were at 540,000. Not sure if that's as good as FM3 in the same time frame.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

I still got my STI code. Maybe I should just sell it though, hah.

Thanks for answering.

I'm going to see if there's more news and if not I'll see what november can bring regarding DLC I just don't like to spend 2400 points and going blind even if the bonus is something I already have (the american muscle pack).

I wished they could give another starting pack that was not the same included in the LCE. =/

 

[VindictiveGnome]

I can get the speed wheel for $36 from Amazon using some credit. Think I should go for it?

 

[ShapeGSX]

Awesome! A pic would be welcomed... Can I assume that the screw holes for mounting were pre drilled?

The Rennsport wheelstand from Fanatec is great. Everything is pre-drilled.

Here is mine.

I made my own pedal stop, but I think the new wheelstands come with one.

What tools did you use to make your own? I need to make one for mine badly.

 

[pmj]

I wish. When I power off my wheel and hold down the guide button on the controller, it becomes controller number two, so I can't control the game with it. Yanked the battery pack and held the guide button multiple times but it always becomes controller two. Good thing I'm not into photos, painting or autovista.

About the rennsport stand, how will it work with the clubsport shifter? That's the only thing preventing me from getting one.

 

[ShapeGSX]

A drill and a saw (I used my dremel). I just went to the local hardware store and found the parts. A small piece of strap iron for the bottom, a piece of right angle aluminum for the top, two bolts and two plastic threaded caps to tighten it down.

You can see it in the last photo I posted above.

 

[Izayoi]

Well, jumping into a full Fujimi Kaido run with an R2 may not have been the best idea for my first race with a manual transmission.

Trial by fire, I guess.

Try the 'Ring hotlap with the Radical SR8. Most stressful drive ever... at least, the first 1:30 before I ran off the road.

 

[Seanspeed]

He uses manual w/ clutch, so yes, hax.

I did a couple laps on the Reasonably Priced Car challenge and the Amalfi-throw-your-controller-in-the-lake-Rivals event with the clutch, but all my Hotlap event times were done without it.

Alright, off to jump in a Corvette C6R and do some laps at Road America!

 

[Izayoi]

So is 9000exp the cap per race (sans bonuses)? I've been getting that for a while now.

really? even hitting the power button so it says please reconnect controller? If you do it wrong the first time an the wheel is sitll powered on then yeah it will be player 2 until you reboot the xbox.

 

[Wazzim]

How long will the season pass be available? Is it like with Gears 3?

 

[DasRaven]

An early sign of DLC integration in career?

I just hit Level 10 and I was offered both the Mini Clubman & Alfa Quadrifoglio Verde as options in addition to the normal MS3, RCZ, and Scirocco.

 

[pmj]

I suppose I must have done it wrong, because it works fine now. I didn't know that if a controller has been selected for player 2, it'll be player 2 until you reboot.

I know you guys are gonna laugh at me, but the AI in this game is giving me hard time and I am not sure I enjoy the world tour

They are either just too good for me or they just smash me off the track and I have to restart (playing on expert). Maybe it's the combination of switching to wheel and manual shift plus the game getting harder, but I am already a bit frustrated.

I remember one particular race today where I kept rear-ending the AI because they kept on braking way too soon. When this happens, I just head over to multiplayer.

Turn on Rewind, save yourself the frustration.
