How do you guys play other racers now?
I'll see a game that I want to play with some interesting tracks. Then I go to play it, and its like. . . "What the hell? Why is the car on ice? Why does it feel 18 feet wide?" I just can't shake it off. All I can manage is Wipeout, but that is suppose to be glide-y.

I play arcade racers with the a controller and not a wheel, since I never play GT5 with a controller it doesn't feel as confusing to me.
Yep. Good image Amar. I feel like the bumper cam is located even lower than your drawing, but I have nothing to back that upStill the one I use for setting laps though.
Yep. I think someone did a test where they drove up the back of a car and since we know the height of the car, you could measure the height of the camera center point. It was somewhat lower. Although it will of course differ car to car based on the size and dimensions of the car, which accounts for different feel to the same camera in different cars.
Looks like Motegi is available in GT Academy now. Damn thing came to Finland like two weeks late or something so I haven't bothered with it. Hopefully the track goes on sale soon.

On sale? I really hope this one if for free. No reason not to, since most of us already played in the track.

It won't be free.
I agree.
Cars for free (to ones that golded the events). But I have a nice feeling there will be a new DLC content soon and Motegi will lead the pack(s).
Think more Fuji/Suzuka. Not as good as Nurburgring or Spa, but better than trial mountain or Laguna Seca. Good track surface textures and good structure modeling, but the scenery is kinda weak.
Yeah pretty much.
As I said before, its a shame PD didnt go for the afternoon time of day, like it was in GT4.
Gave it more personality imo.
It's early in the game, but I'm honestly baffled once again that a track being developed this late in the game is not on a full 24hr cycle.
What on earth is stopping them from implementing it on at least new tracks? It can't be a condition of licensing the track, can it?
Edit: Oh, and is it just me or is the spoiler on the 370Z all for naught? It's so tail happy around even the lightest of corners.

I hated that at first, made it so hard to learn the lines, but then I finally got it and it was pretty awesome.
Not as nuts as not offering a wet and short version of Tsukuba.
Yeah, this kills me. Why Nurburgring 24h with full effects and not the GP circuits. Why weather change at HSR but not the reverse version? My mind cannot even comprehend these decisions.
Why no Suzuka West?
Any of Cape Ring variations in Reverse? Why not?
And what aboit Bugatti circuit? Is lays there, just over the fence goddamnit..
And since 370Z has a cockpit clock that matches time-o-day on track, we can safely say how it is 16.00 hours at Motegi at least.. so maybe we get variants. Soon.

Or Suzuka with the chicane after the hairpin. It's there modelled, just offer it as a separate variation.

I hope your feeling is right.
Would love to see a Motegi, Mid-Field, El Capitan & Apricot Hill pack(s) at least.
In the last few days, my G25 has not been aligning the wheel properly to the centre. In other words I have to steer right to go in a straight line. Obviously this is great timing with the final round of GT Academy open, but Im more worried that the wheel is on its way out (I got this one second hand and cant afford another).
I can get it to correct if I go full lock left then unplug and reconnect the USB, but this only works for a few minutes...
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any tips for sorting it out?

I've had that problem in belt driven Fanatecs but not on a gear driven wheel.
The Fanatecs can be fixed by realigning or blowing out dust from the optical sensor, if it's no longer under warranty you should look into it.

It's been ages since I had a G25, If you an see any open vents that dont have a fan in the way try giving it a blow with compressed air.

This is what's over those barriers:
and it ain't no Bugatti layout.
I want the tt bikes and the mountain in GT5/6, they should forget about every other track and get that beauty laser scanned asap.
Call Logitech. They have great customer service. If you cannot afford a replacement wheel from them ($150 IIRC) then say, "look, I cannot afford a replacement wheel, please just walk me through the possible steps so I can try to fix it myself." They should help you out.

By giving you a new one. For free.
Bold.
A good suggestion, but a quick google of their forum would lead me to believe that they are spectacularly unhelpful. That said, nothing ventured, nothing gained so I'll give it a go.
Also, I'm in the UK and so I doubt they do refurbs/exchanges and stuff (I assume that's what you mean). Don't get any of that stuff here, I'm always jealous of the graphics cards trade in deals and similar you enjoy in the US

Call them. Logitech EU support rocks. Don't read their forums.

Yeah they sent me a brand new Z5500 set after mine began to crackle even though it was second hand.
I just didn't tell them that bit.

Got mine second hand from eBay, the serial and model numbers were blacked out with sharpie but I managed to recover them.
So give it a try, you have nothing to lose.
It is much, much, much better than when it came out. I kind of wish the press would look at games like this and do a separate review for them.

Does anyone know if the XL edition saves work with the original? When my PS3 got stolen, GT5 was in there, and I dont want to redownload all the patches and kill my bandwidth cap.
Your saves (bar ps+) are gone. GT5xl should include all the patches up to 2.0 . So you will still have download a bit.

=/ looks like i'm buying the OG version and just downloading all the patches... no way in hell am I losing all my cars.
I think you miss understood me (or maybe I misunderstood you). Your normal GT5 saves will work with GT5 click.

...so... my saves from PS+ will work with GT5 XL?

What do you mean your saves from PS+? You mean the game saves you uploaded to the cloud storage? If so, than yes they will.

I just started 24 Hours of Le Mans in honor of the event proper.
I managed to get one hour in before I got bored. Finishing this and 24 Hours of Nurburgring is going to take a long time

Yes, I was wondering if GT5 original saves are the same as GT5 XL saves. I have PS+ and my GT5 info is saved to the cloud. Because my PS3 was stolen I just wanted to buy GT5 XL, so I don't have to download everything from scratch NOR lose all my cars.
It's level 38 and up right?I just started 24 Hours of Le Mans in honor of the event proper.

LOL, that exchange was way too complicated, but I think you are good to go with XL and your PSN+ saves.

36 I believe and Nurburgring is 40.

No need to apologise, your english is perfect! I think it was just the nature of the language that made it confusing.
What is this garbage where you can't take pictures of standard cars? My S2000 is a sexy beast
YOu just can't get close to them.
What is the reasoning behind this?
Also, I attempted the Top Gear VW bus race and was awful at it. Any tips?

They look bad.
As for the Top Gear VW race, never brake fully, or at all if you can manage. And shift at the right time.
