I hate it and wish I could turn it off. It looks especially bad on standard cars.

Yeah it can be rough since its poly deformation so standards being lower poly obviously suffer more. Plus with it being this way it means things like headlights and stuff act really weird and don't deform with the rest of the main body. When it's just slight bumps on the front or back it looks pretty great though imo.
Hey, that's not the swedish flag.
Of course not, that's the Sverige flag.

Using Google / GPS data to generate track layouts has been happening for years. If you play rFactor or RBR you've probably driven on one created this way.
Course Maker powered by Google Maps - BELIEVE!

Automatically generated? That's gotta give out some brilliant texture results. There's always some off game editing. Something your not gonna get on a console game.

I'm not talking about the surrounding environment, that would be impossible to create, just the real track/route with terrain data mapped, these would then be generated in your chosen Course Maker theme.
Wouldn't you need precise altitude data also? Does GMaps have that, I don't know?

yes google maps has elevation data
doing a bit a spring cleaning and found these

If GT6 is out on PS3, it needs every track to have day/night cycles. I'm spoiled by pCars right now and other PC sims

Wonder if this'll lead to something this time, could just be a hack fix.
Any news on GT Academy 2013? I remember last year showcased route x, spa & motegi, so I'm hoping to see something new even if it doesn't appear in GT5.

They might be trying to time that announcement with the unveiling of GT6. Silverstone is rumored to be one of the tracks in the game, so having that available for the drivers that make it to train on would be something they'd want to hype up.

There was meant to be a trip to Silverstone last month for the winners of the European Academy Edition thingy, but I've not read any reports on that actually happening. It doesn't sound like a proper Academy thing though, so might not have been covered.
I have just learned it is sceduled to happen but a bit later then in 2012 which was in May. More details will be published in next few days including info about finals, location and dates. Next few weeks are going to be really exciting for GT fans.
I can corroborate this (GT Academy stuff). I have heard that Nissan Racing is very pleased with the performance of the Wolfgang, Steve, Peter and Mark's performance in the FIA GT Championship (so far). The program's fate was a little shaky initially (even with Lucas's success), but since Nissan has decided to make substantial investments in NISMO and Nissan Racing. GT Academy will logically be used as a marketing arm for both, especially NISMO. There is a new Z coming and a new GTR after that, along with NISMO spec trim levels of Nissan's standard lineup.

Seems liked the latest update restored hybrid cars to their original settings.
Any word if they can just simply mod them again or does the game now take active measures towards them?

the game reads the car parameters from game data rather than save game data, so no more hybrids... for now. maybe these hackers will try and decrypt the .vol file...

Does that mean no more break-in/oil changes or is that calculated on the fly now?

Um, it obviously still needs to use save data, I'm assuming it now restricts all cars to fit within the parameters that the game normally allows.

no idea, but i've just read that some parts still work so maybe full hybrids are still possible, lol
the japanese x1 has been removed from the game.

Heh, at the weekend I rediscovered GT:TV. Watched all the Nurb 24h specials with Kaz racing. In the 2011 one they tell you what Kaz's team's qualifying time is (9:08) and they all seemed really pleased with it.
As the GT-R they used is in the game I thought I'd have a go at beating it. Turns out when you don't have to worry about other traffic, and dying in a big fireball, it's a piece of piss... beat it on my first go, even spinning twice. A few laps later I'd beaten it by 40 seconds and I'm sure there's a lot of time left to remove.

Try SS or SM tires and lower downforce for a more realistic experience. I would also firm up the suspension to simulated the bumps better.
Yeah, I did wonder about the tyres. On the video they were clearly using slicks so I thought I'd try those first. Everything else was at default as I assumed that would be the setup they ran with at the race.
By the way, I'm not in anyway trying to imply that I could beat them in a real car on the real track (I'd probably be sick), just pointing out what a difference not having to worry about crashing and no g-forces makes.

Every decent sim in the hand of a decent driver will give similar results.
One reason is the one you're exposed but there are others.
Unlimited tracktime and repeating weather / track conditions is another. I have probably done more laps at Spa in the wet than all the current formula 1 drivers in their careers, combined.
The car and the tires are always the same. You always know what to expect from them. Real life is entirely a different story.
Presuming it's a half decent wheel, you will need to practice, but the times will come down.
Which wheel is it? There's a huge gap between cheap and expensive wheels.
A Logitech formula force GP. VERY old, specifically 11 years old. No force feedback unless you have it hooked up to a PC, which sucks. Also the clamp system you use to keep it from moving around is HORRIBLE. I don't have any furniture that the clamp would fit on, so I ended up using a TV tray table... Control-wise, its not bad, but it's a nightmare trying to control a car in any rally races with the thing.

I wouldn't even bother with it. No force feedback can be very harmful in a sim racer.

There is an update for GT5. It is just for minor issues. So nothing new.

So I'm confused about two things:
1) I've recently discovered a load of videos on Youtube of cars flying hundreds of feet up in the air, tumbling down the road in spectacular fashion. Was this a glitch that has since been patched? In my many, many hours in GT5 I've never come across anything close to this behaviour?
2) Also, has the cosmetic damage been toned down since launch? I remember on launch day, people were posting pics of massively deformed cars, headlights on top of bonnets and that kind of thing, but again, I've never seen anything like that.
