I didn't. I read how to tune my GT-R, that's what it says.

Oh yeah... sorry about that.

Anyways... Love my 458.

 

[Melfice7]

What's the alternative plan?

Playing GT5 on other ps3 with your account
Spend the 20k at the start, sync trophies
???
Profit

When you guys do the Indy 500 Race in B-Spec, do you keep a close eye on the action or just leave the minions to do the dirty work and come back 2-3 hours later?

I'm tempted to go do some errands and just have them figure it out themselves :lol

You know what they say, never leave a b-spec Bob to do a man's work.

i did precisely that last night and my boys won handily. those le mans cars have no chance against a formula one racer, even one driven by stupid ai that brakes before the corners.

Re: Thrustmaster

Unless it has realistic pedal feedback it cannot be worth that much. It's a preposterous price.

Assuming you have an overpowered car then there is no worries, you can go :>

Is there something wrong with PSN today? I keep getting DCed and had some DNS errors a while ago. :/

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

I got a Formula GT which normally leaves LM cars in the Dream Car Championship in the dust (B-Spec) so I guess Indy 500 is no different? :lol

It says it needs 4 drivers correct? I'm just scared these idiots wont swap in the right order by themselves and ruin the race :<

Is the Formula GT good for the "Like the Wind" event? Gotta buy one so might as well get some use out of it

The opponents dont stand a chance :lol

Btw for Indy 500, those noobs will refuel by themselves right? At least I hope so =/

its good for the Dream Car series too

FGT = profit

 

[cilonen]

I bought this beast:

Ahh, my favourite car in the game, 787B being an incredibly close second.

 

[darkwing]

what is the name of that beauty?

 

[Mechanical Snowman]

what is the name of that beauty?

It's on the side of the car

 

[Omiee]

you can back up your save data but is it locked to your psn ..?
and if not can u use somebody else's save like in prologue

 

[avaya]

HDi FAP? :lol

 

[spats]

I haven't copied mine yet but I'm almost positive it's locked to the account.

 

[expy]

HDi FAP? :lol

*fap fap fap*

Most probably locked to the PS3.

 

[CSSer]

908 is my favorite car too fap fap fap

Got it for my first 1000 ticket

 

[darkwing]

HDi FAP? :lol

lol my first thought

 

[Melfice7]

Whats the point of being unlocked then? my ps3 gets ylod and all i can do is cry?

 

[spats]

If I understood correctly you can store your save on a usb stick and if your trey YLOD's you can just activate the save on a new ps3 on your psn account.

 

[TheSeks]

If I understood correctly you can store your save on a usb stick and if your trey YLOD's you can just activate the save on a new ps3 on your psn account.

Exactly. It's locked to PSN id. Deactivate the PS3 if possible and then activate the new PS3 and sign into your account and put the GT5 backup save on the new PS3 and you're good to go.

Where is the option to back up the save anyway, in the XMB?

 

[The Chef]

I was saving up to buy a 787B but I may need to take a look at this beast.

Thats better, being locked to account is fine, no cheating and its always backed up

 

[Starfish_Oxide]

ok ive done every race upto and including the Indy 500 but im only half way through level 28

what do i do now other then grind the Indy 500?

really want me some X1(2010)

You just have to back it up manually. Just plug in a USB stick, and then find the GT5 save and press triangle to copy it to the USB stick.

Only other back up option is the Backup Utility under System Settings, but you need an actual external HDD for that and it backs up all of your HDD's contents. I do that about once a month.

 

[neos]

lol just stared gt and at the menù there was a smooth jazz version of jingle bells.

oh Yamauchi ....:lol

Too bad I don't have an external drive.

I'll back up my save to a USB stick later.

 

[UFRA]

I've set it to simulation just cause, but what are the differences between the different settings? "Force feedback strength" is pretty self explanatory, but amateur/professional/simulation mode for steering isn't.

If I'm not mistaken, the settings of Amateur, Pro, and Sim are completely irrelevant to the DFGT or the Driving Force Pro.

From what I remember, those settings ONLY pertain to the older Logitech wheels (the ones with blue grips on the wheels) and that's it.

For the Logitech DFP and DFGT, it's set to Simulation by default. Even if you change it, the setting has no effect on those two wheels.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

I just watched the Indy 500 endurance and wtf @ pitting after 40 laps? (no fuel)

I thought it would be every 50, so 4 drivers = 200 laps but if its every 40, then one sucker will drive for 80 laps :lol

At least the FGT is keeping those Pescarolos at bay. Sweet, I can do something else now

 

[Tiduz]

ok tried the dreamcar race that was suggested to me yesterday, only one problem...

im lvl 21 ½ :lol

any xp grinding advice besides the seasonal events?

 

[mrklaw]

I found the minolta better suited to ovals. FGT dor more classic racetracks

Don't know about the PSN ID part, since you don't need to have one to play the game.

[Thrakier]

Oh great, thanks!


I just (like, 1 minute ago ) golded it with a Spec V, all weight reduction modifications and a customisable transmission.

Now in the 2 million club.

How to customise it...?

[MurkyZebra2417]

I just finished 4/5 events as first in the dreamcar mastership and then accidentially hit exit instead of start... fuck this

 

[expy]

That's why I think it's locked to the PS3id and not the PSNid.

this is my first gt, so i love it, but am making slow progress. I wish they would have just supplied the cars for these online challenges.

First bunch of cars are extremely cheap, and the money you win for using them will cover the next cars, and then some.
