They're starting to scare me now. There's no way they can continue to sustain themselves financially if they're working on updating GT5 and getting started on GT6. It almost feels like money is no object to them!

I quite enjoyed the nurburgring AMG event, the beginners was quite easy.

I got silver on most of the stages and then bronze on the full track race.

Best thing I've done in the game so far. You could really get the old Merc to flow nicely.

I've had no trouble getting gold on anything yet. The crappy campers took me 4 or 5 attempts once I'd realised how hard you could rub and where you could stray a little wide.

Where is the nurburg AMG Event? I'm trying to unlock the full ring but can't find it

On the licences i'm having major issues getting golds! I've only got one!

In the Special Event section.

In the license tests the one which took me the most attempts was the BMW 1 series on the Scumacher S at the Nurburgring. I was .005 off Gold for a good 10 attempts, so I stopped being smooth and threw it in hard. That worked perfectly.

I'm guessing it's easier on a wheel, especially the braking test ones, as buttons are far harder to modulate lock-ups.

You're forgetting two things..

1) Lee is a major game geek

2) He's just spent the last year?+ working on the handling on a racing game. Lol.

It's not all bad on the pad. In GT5 you can use the two analogue sticks to control the handling (left analogue stick) and the acceleration/breaking (right analogue stick). A lot more adjustability than using the buttons.

I remember now lol. Suddenly I don't feel that much of a n00b.

So to open up the 'ring on practice/arcade, I need to gold all of the beginner AMG ones?

Anyone any experience of this wheel with gt5? Or this wheel in general?

Yes. It's very similar to mine, but the analog thumb sticks on the wheel are useful for photo mode etc.
The wheel/pedals and the basics are the same. It's brilliant.
You can get the driving force pro (mine) on ebay quite cheap.

Yup, I've used one in the office. It's pretty much the same as the one myself and Brown Bear have, only it's been updated with a few extra buttons for the PS3. The original one came out for the PS2. The pedals don't look great, but they work fine. The wheel itself is really nice, and the force feedback is great.

 

[StevenMc29]

Awesome. Thanks guys

Are the thumb buttons on the wheel analogue? Be useful for photo mode.

 

[Si]

that v6 just looks wrong. no tyreshine for a start.

I've not got one connected up at the moment, but from the feel of them I'd say they aren't.

or fire.....

Gonna get a PS3 tomorrow if they have stock, might put this on the xmas list as its not screaming 'awesome' from the cs'ers.

 

[Dredz06]

Can I just say "Qualo", as it seems to be the new word at the moment?

Qualo.

There.

Ive seen comments about upgrading brakes?

Im sure u cant, u only seem 2 be able 2 change brake balance

 

[Matt_90]

Well I haven't moved away from the Ps3 for more than half an hour since midnight on Tuesday I don't think apart from sleeping! I am hooked. Started off with ek9 and got the race package for it, then turbo'd so its 800ish kgs - 318 bhp.... Only if I could afford that in real life. up lv 19 now but need a break

Is anyone else using the logitech g25? I am loving mine but wish they had built in the use of the clutch pedal

 

[Dredz06]

online is ok when you get used to it, you cannot invite friends but they can join your lobby through the community part of GT mode, a little icon comes up that you click to join

The merc is superb, favourite car so far.

 

[Ads_172]

Well I'm enjoying the game, but have only put a couple hours in so far.

I understand people's expectations and PD should have perfected a lot more than they did but at the end of the day it's a game. If you like it, great. If you don't, then you sell it and make a small loss. Regardless of them trying to pitch it as a "real driving simulator", they could never do that as the majority of people would prefer an arcade racer they can pick up as play as opposed to a proper sim.

They've got the balance quite nicely I think, but they have clearly run out of time or money on some aspects. I'll get over it once I've finished crying onto my controller.

 

[iain187]

Couldnt agree more with you. I dare not use the pad lol

another +1 to that

They have, press the triangle button at the start of a race and it'll activate the clutch for manual gears.

Ooo, I'll go give that a go now.

 

[sneeks]

Worth noting that if a car doesn't have a clutch and manual box in real life then that function will not work in the game.

edit might as well make this post of use : any one tried to get all golds on a license yet? mission!

I've just tried this with the TVR Tamora, which I love.

With the G25 you can always use the clutch, and always use the shifter should you chose to. If you use the shifter you can over ride it with the padels and vice versa. The clutch is a bit pointless though as you don't have to use it. In Forza not using the clutch results in a fluffed change and a nasty crunch. When i tried Forza 3 with a full clutch and gated shifter arrangement I was all over the place. For some reason it's not as easy as it is in real life.

It just gets better,The photo mode is cool as fek could play with that for hours, just had an awesome drive in the M3 drifting out of every the corner :evil:

 

[lanky]

There is an iceberg 172 on my used lot at the moment. Hmmm

Edit: I purchased it and will be accepting offers in exchange for it

[beatjunkie]

How do you turn car assists off permanently? i have to turn them off every time i race?

 

[iain187]

i seem to have to turn them off sometimes but not every time - im assuming its for each car maybe
