A guy fails to break in a corner and crashes into the car in front of him?Toxa said:
Just doing some practice on Leguna Seca. Only done a few laps but I can see the potential for sub 1.20-1.21 times already. The NSX is better much suited to this track than Suzuka, where it really struggled in the all-important S bends in comparison to the GT-R's.
Oh, and fyi, the race will be 28 laps. Plan accordingly.

Quick snaps I took last night.
Gutterboy loses it going up the hill.
Round the hairpin for the first time.
The chasing pack of Niks, UFRA and Mikedub.
Mush chasing Crumb hard.
...maybe a little too hard.
Opposite ends of the pack after Lap 1.
When lapping goes horribly, horribly wrong.

Just curious, what view were you using? I think we need a better system in place for lapping slower cars. Perhaps installing horns or a quick flash of the headlamps could work.Leunam said:I saw you on the map and in my mirror at the spoon but when I checked again I didn't see you on my map. Turns out our arrows overlapped and I didn't notice you were next to me until it was too late and you clipped the grass.
Mush said:
If I'm not mistaken the Super GT cars have a horn by default. Or at least my GT-R does. They also have a really cool headlight flashing sequence too. Simply press it once and the lights flash for like 5 seconds.
I used this method when trying to lap people but did not seem to get results.
I was behind you guys when that incident happened. I saw the sparks flying.

After a few practice laps I was getting into the 1:23's.
Dibbz, one word of advice - don't mess with the settings of the car too much. I had done a lot of suspension tuning and I think I botched it pretty bad, the car was super sensitive for the whole race. Go with default settings, but remember to tweak the transmission so you almost max it on the finish straight.

I should have some time to work on the video capturing Tuesday night. I am thinking of just doing two main recordings, attempting to get as much variety in camera angles, and then just posting those and let someone else edit for polish. I don't have a ton of experience for video editing or a ton of spare time.
I love that my woeful first lap spin at Dunlop has been captured with the enthusiasm of a Emma Watson nip slip.
I have a few "moments" PM'd to me and I think I can work it out so I get a good variety of the action and those moments during the main recording of the play through. I think I will have to split it into 3 YouTube videos. Looking to do 720p.
Sorry for the delay, I am sure I will get more proficient at it for my next race.

Im gonna practice laguna tonight, this is a track I have run countless laps on...if Im not running 1:25' and under...
If anyone had trouble passing me at times...having 4 damage dots makes driving the car straight very hard...I spent the better part of my time in the race driving half on the grass trying to let people go by....then mercifully, my daughter woke from her nap, rescuing me from further humiliation.

I just got this video capture card the other week too, just for GT5 I am still sorting out the most efficient way.
GT5 has already had me buy
G27 $220 on sale
128GB SSD $210
HD Cap Card $90
HDMI Splitter $25
Total $545 of additional costs. Luckily things like the Super GT event this weekend have all made it worth it.

Good to see you're still enjoying the game. I'd advice you to stop caring about the platinum as online is where the fun isgutterboy44 said:I just got this video capture card the other week too, just for GT5

No way man, I MUST Platinum this game on principle alone.

Got hit myself by that at Suzuka, but i thought it had to do with my laggy connection that day. Basically, the simulation changes significantly, worts times for me being when I ended in the speed traps a couple of times after an effect I'd describe as 'discontinuity in the simulation' - I'd be coming hot into a corner, slowing down the best I can, barely managing to kill speed to stay on the track by the edge of the curb when a jerk in the framerate would happen and my speed would be suddenly restored to that from a moment ago, thus sending me drifting off the edge. Basically it feels as if the simulation skips a beat, and reverts to a last known state.Niks said:

Yeah, the way I interpret "Tyre Wear On" is "Tyre Wear and Dynamic Tyre Model On".
I thought the car felt 'heavy' online vs. practicing offline...thats my excuse :lol
But seriously, it was different, at times I thought I was getting input lag, but it may have just been a different tire (tyre) model. Why the hell do they use different models online vs. offline.

Grip reduction set to real could also have an impact. I've not tested it but since GT5 simulates tyre wear it may also alter grip levels around the track. Edges of the track stay dirty but over time the racing line will get grip from all the rubber going down. Practice mode or Arcade might simply set the grip levels to the optimum setting rather than letting it build up over time.

anyone up to running a few laps online? Shoot me an invite.
Well I'm not sure I'm just assuming right now but since we have the option to set grip settings to "Real" it could be a possibility. I mean when the track is wet edges do have less grip so the same could be for dry tracks off the racing line.GodofWine said:
Like I said I haven't tested anything this is all just guess work from peoples reactions to the difference in handling online.
I noticed that when I went off track once, when I got back on the road I had a general loss of grip (could feel the rear end slipping on several occasions where I've never had an issue before) even though my tires were still warmed up. It took maybe 1/4th of a lap to feel "normal" again.
I'm pretty sure this simulated the effect of having dirt and grass stuck to your tires and causing a loss of grip. I also notice when people go off the track their tires turn brownish from the dirt collecting on them.
Pretty cool stuff.

What I mean when talking about dirt is tracks generally get more grippy over a race because of cars driving on them and putting down rubber from the tyres. So at the start of a race not only will you have less grip from cold tyres but also the lack of rubber on the racing line.
This might be why some of you think the cars feel heavier, because the grip in the track has no built up at that moment causing you to understeer and go wide.

in time trial 1.19.900 in 3 minutes ...
so tell me what's wrong with my car ? in the lounge the car oversteer a lot and I have not been able to compensate
wtf ???
Same happened to me, massive oversteer.
You just have to start over a new setup for online.
offline practice never again.

It seems like the track might be 'pre rubbered in' in practice mode as online is definitely a lot more slippery than offline.
before I joined your game I was able to get my time down to 1.18.7 in offline mode, but online it was a struggle to get under 1.20, I did manage a 19.5 in the 10 or so minutes I was able to play though
