Gran Turismo 5 Spec II |OT| - We Love DLC!
- Thread starter Metalmurphy
- Start date
You unlock the 24 hours of Le Mans at level 35 and then till you reach level 40 you don't unlock anything. What I was trying to say is that you have nothing new to do between level 35 and level 39, and you are supposed to do a lot of grinding only to unlock the 24 hours Nurburgring.
It was Inside Sim Racing comparing all the different wheels available for use in the GT 5 review. They talked about the big dead zone for all the Logitech wheels and the touchy brakes. Go to the 30:16 mark to see the wheel spazzing out by the dead zone issue:

Anyone know if this has been addressed?
I've got that 5 dollar BF amazon credit that expires on Dec. 2nd, so I want to use it on something. Just want to make sure this is no longer an issue.

The brake "issue" isn't really an issue. GT5 calibrates the brakes on the fly. So if you just booted it, any small touch would be the same as pressing it fully. Just fully press both pedals and voila, it's done. You only need to do it once per boot.
And there is no dead zone issue, what I think they're complaining about is how the wheel just rocks left and right on some cars, but that has nothing to do with deadzone and it's not a problem unless you have really really weak arms. It's a Forcefeedback thing.
That makes sense about the brake issue. Definitely the main issue I was worried about.
I play with my G27's strength cranked up and can play hours without issue. So arm strength isn't an issue. But I can see why they equate it to dead zone issues. The occassional PC game will have this issue and it can be fixed (to a degree) by messing with settings. It's kind of unnatural and suspension-of-disbelief affecting, but not a deal breaker. Going to make sure GT 5 isn't Amazon's 1st Gold Box item before placing the order, though.

Spec 2.0 is getting a retail release in Japan by the looks of it, same thing that happened with Prologue Spec III.

GT5 to reach 10 Million+ confirmed!
Not as good as real paddles, but if you want there's a solution (sort of): http://granturgismo.com/productspads1.html

As Metalmurphy said. No touchy brakes, no dead zones. These guys should try to push the pedals down before going all out on youtube.

To be fair, they did retract their statements later on another video.

Credit to magawolaz for the original image. Seems I haven't unlocked the winter version yet, missing one gold.

gotdamn.
In honor of the Spec II update and the 1 year birthday of GT5 I have repurchased the game and am glad to say that I am having a blast. So much new content and the game looks better then ever before thanks to my new Panasonic plasma. Happy Birthday GT5 and thanks for the thrills!

How do I get a car suitable for the German Touring Car Championship on the extreme tier? I don't have any suitable cars in my garage, and none of the models seem to be available in the dealerships (new or second hand) or the online dealership. Thanks
I think you can use the Lexus IS-F Racing Concept. Was pretty easy with it.

There's 2 versions of that area. You unlock the Xmas version by golding the Mercedes Challenge.
Ordered it yesterday. In the hands of when Amazon wants to ship it now.

Which means I will never get it. :-[
Hmm, so I should have it then, maybe I just never noticed it. I also realized last week that I was missing the Bernese bridge location. Didn't know you weren't supposed to skip the World Tour event cut-scenes!
You just need to gold the easy ones (with the old gullwing on dry Nordschleife), is not that hard
Is the Porsche 911 Carrera Wheel worth getting?

Not actually that important
Wow, I didn't know that. Still, I don't think I've ever suffered from it... Probably cause I'd hit the pedals full on before racing anyway? Does the cluth's pedal suffer from the same thing? Cause that would explain a lot of my shittiness
Can you do the push all the way thing when on the UI at boot up or you gotta be in-race? If the latter, is it ok to do it during a launching start or when on the grid?

It's gotta be during a race, and I'm not sure if it works during the rolling start or not, but it works if it's a standing start.
Concept movie of the Toyota 86. Kaz just tweeted it.

We're getting that for free in the Xmas update.
Was that a new track at the end? I don't recognise the corner with the rockface.
At first I thought it was from the track creator but I don't think you can get terrain like that from it.

Here's a link to the FR-S version, which is exactly the same as the 86 video but it has Scion badges instead.

Just before the last track I saw Spa with night settings. I hope the next patch will include time settings for all tracks.
