I just got this game and I'm so happy to see this thread still alive. I won't join in on this one, I don't even have a super car yet, but hopefully I'll be ready to join in on future events. :)

FML. Looks like my CSW and CSPv2 are going nuts when play GT5 after the latest update. Throttle gets stuck, doesn't register inputs, registers 90% throttle at 100% pressure, and the start button does not work. As far as I can tell this is only in GT5. When I go to the PC driver menu the problems do not exist.

To make matters worse, I no longer have my G25 and I lent my DS3 to someone else. So, basically, I it unlikely I will be able to race today... which sucks... bawls.

Nice race, I always have good battles with Chillimchilla, and congrats to Toxa too. If we do another race next week I think it would be better to aim for 3 or 4 short race. 15 minutes of dicking around/ practice/ quali, 15 minute race, then next track and repeat. Since most people probably don't want to spend as much time practicing it'll help if we casual things up a bit. Plus more people might join if they only have to commit half an hour as opposed to the hour to hour and a half these sometimes drag on for.

Good fun guys. Well done Toxa.

Some great shenanigans with WW before I lost it.

I love that format and track, can we do it again with more people this time and even variable weather?

Must post some shots of the Weider in action.

Hi everybody

I'm chasing a handful more people to join our Weekly GT5 race series. You NEED to be based in Australia (preference given to WA) and available at 8:30pm Perth Time.

DMZ setup is MANDATORY! (see info below).

We already have 8-12 regular competitors each week. Just chasing a few more reasonable drivers to fill the grid. Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers

I've run hundreds of races and this is the only way I can ensure smooth connection between peers. When a particular player's network connectivity is preventing others peers from connecting properly it's always the peers that suffer. The player with the poor connectivity is often unaware that their vehicle is glitching all over the place - destroying other vehicles in the process. In some cases the offending player is unable to see all vehicles on the track, even though other players can see them. Collisions between these cars will see the offending player simply plow through the other car like theyre not even there.

What's silly is the amount of hoop jumping required to keep this game stable while playing online.

If you're NZ feel free to join. I'm just trying to maintain a certain level of latency for everybody. Not sure about the 1:30am start though :p

PM Dead Man and Mush. They're the two Aussies/NZers that we had in this league.

DMZing a device is a security risk and unnecessary. All you have to do is forward the correct ports. Both options will achieve the same thing as far add GT5 is concerned.

Yep, but many people don't port forward correctly or don't forward all the required ports.

DMZ setup is easy and the security risk you mentioned is negligible seeing as it's only the PS3 in the DMZ.

In both of the online lobby tests I've ran at 25 laps each, my fastest lap was the very last one. The tires dropped about a seventh or so of their grip on normal. Didn't have too much trouble with oversteering, but I have a wheel that I've been using since July if it helps.

Lols. Looks like I won't be able to make it. At least not on time. I have an interview with someone for a school project. We could try Sunday after or before the US F1 race.
