skid recovery force is basically standard physics.

How does the game know its your birthday? I dont think I recall entering one when I first played the game. Is it looking at your PSN account Bday?

most likely

 

[jambo]

My birthday was 2 weeks before the game came out so I have to wait 12 months =[

 

[donkey show]

LOL, I pull up the create a driver screen to make my second B-Spec racer and the first thing that comes out is the name F. Lombardi with a hot-headed personality and blue clothing. Perfect.

C'mon F. McCloud for the next one. :lol

 

[MikeE21286]

Finally, dunno if it's a placebo, but 720p + the 'sharpen' effect on in the options blows the 1080p mode out the water. The game looks crisp and fairly jaggy-free in this mode, and that's on a 22" 1080p PC monitor.

This is definitely the way to go.

My 720p 50" plasma in 720p with "sharpen" on was much better than my 1080p 32" LCD in 1080p with "sharpen" on or off

what does it mean when my PS3 makes the hard reboot noise on its own during a race and won't come back on?

where do you guys change the resolution of the game? in GT5 or on the ps3?

Zombie Jeff Gordon is going to visit you in your sleep.

That sucks.

Mine is today, just got an 82 Audi quattro, pretty cool.

You have to change it on the PS3 under the Display Settings. GT5 uses the PS3 Display Settings Resolution, and won't allow it to be changed.

I will prepare my zombie kit, wait half an hour and try the ps3 again, then smash it with a hammer when i eventually find out sony won't fix it for free.

 

[TTG]

Damn, the Murci SV understeers everywhere. I'm gonna need to find a tune or something to balance it out. Wouldn't want to ruin a gorgeous car like that.

in game Jeff Gordan is hilarious looking. Like he got botox all over his face. :lol :lol

 

[Salacious Crumb]

I'm going out for the night very shortly and it doesn't seem like lion heart is around atm so if anyone wants the dodge ram send a request to salaciouscrumb_ first come first served but I'll only be around for 10 more mins.

Gotdam at the Ferrari Monza race during the Grand Tour, game drops to 30 fps for a good 15 seconds :lol

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Could anyone help me to select the options for the DFGT?, I don't know what to choose in all these helps like ABS...

Thank you

 

[MikeE21286]

Is there any way to hide portions of the HUD?

 

[Windom Earle]

Yeah, I just looked it up, and even RUFs didn't have LSD back in the day. The suspension geometry on Porsches was usually so good they pulled positive even without it.

I gave it a shot and it's too good to not use it. Had to tone it all the way down because the understeer totally crippled the soul of the car but now it's pretty much perfect and I'm getting much more consistent lap times. And more skid marks

I turned off the course map, but sometimes in rally races it "forgets" that I made that selection unless I pause and unpause..

The only thing more humiliating then losing a race in 2nd place, is losing to a guy named J. Gay

Starting the Level 18 a-spec Japan championship while half sleep was a really bad idea. Took for ever till I beat it and by mid way I was almost half sleep. Got gold/first overall though and a crappy ass Gran Turismo 350Z I think...was expecting something better since my gtr absolutely shits on that car. Time to pass out now.

Hmmm....ok thanks

Man the photo mode in this game is nuts..

 

[Tarazet]

Rallying with a Lotus Elise is a match made in heaven. Great power to weight ratio, and it doesn't matter that it won't go in a straight line because you're sideways most of the time anyway!

 

[donkey show]

Snow rallying is so awesome.

With the default soundtrack I always fall asleep halfway through a race. Changed to a custom soundtrack consisting of eurobeat and now I can race the whole night long.

Man, golding the Intermediate AMG full lap challenge will be the end of me. I just know it. 5+ hours spent and counting.

 

[djblackice]

Probably not that big of a deal for most but...

SAMBA BUS TOP GEAR TRACK CONQUERED!!!


Haha, sorry, those damn things were driving me nuts.

 

[Tarazet]

Is there anything affordable that will win the Historic Racing Car Cup? All of the cars in the series are 20 million credits, and I'm not going to be able to swing that for a while yet. I have a sneaking suspicion that very few people have been able to finish this one..

I tried it with my Countach and got blown off the track.

 

[donkey show]

My god, the SS8 of the Snow Rally Master is fucking beautiful... O__O

 

[ChryZ]

That fucking Elise challenge on the Top Gear track. I only managed 4th place so far. I just lowered TCS to 1, all other settings on default. My lap time was usually 1m30s which is 5 seconds faster than the official power lap time: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/powerlaps.shtml

You don't start from a stand still, The Stig does.

its a god mode, it does stuff for you, its not standard mode...

 

[flipswitch]

I just completed the gran turismo world championship, but I didn't click on championship, instead i don the races one by one, which I won all.Once I finished them i didn't win any price, and didn't receive a cup medal.

Do I have to click on championship and do them one after each other without quiting to complete the event?

 

[Veins]

Yes.

 

[Kuran]

Why the hell is there no GameTrailers.com review yet? Doesn't make any sense.

 

[flipswitch]

Meh, sif i'm going through them all at once.You have to do many laps on some of them, and there's the nurburgring as well.I should be able to continue off from where I retire from.

Hello Gran Turismo.

 

[TTG]

Took the 3 cars I've spent some real money on to practice around Laguna Seca. Here's how they stack up:
GTR - 1.32.862 (644hp, 1426kg)
Murcielago LP670 SV - 1.33.881 (BONE STOCK! 678hp, 1565kg)
Corvette Z06 - 1.36.334 (607hp, 1240kg, limited slip diff)


All done without any kind of tune(waiting for someone to post a good tune...) and on sports tires. Vette was really struggling to put the power down because of the street tires, lsd prevents about 6/10 spins but doesn't do much for driving efficiently. GTR was the real star, took me like 5 laps to set that time. Murci is plagued by understeer, lots of trail braking to rotate the car. I'm sort of used to the noob way of full brakes early and then powering out of the corner, lambo doesn't like that at all. I can also feel the weight of it getting in the way. First turn on the track is a left at the top of a crest, GTR and the Corvette are perfectly fine there, with the lambo you have to lift or run a fairly big risk of going off track. Same thing when braking from 130mph+ down to a slow corner, it gets unstable as the momentum just hurls it into the corner in a straight line but at all sorts of weird angles.

 

[Grayman]

Hello Gran Turismo.

GT3 and 4 both fixed that.

All the events I have seen so far are less than an hour though. In GT3 and 4 they got stupid long like 10 races of 20 minutes each.

I absolutely hate this challenge. Despite all advice i still can't handle it. It handles like a turd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0z8EhwUhjc&feature=related <- somebody getting it done...

 

[marc^o^]

It took me 3 hours but I fnally got bronze... and this has bee n my favorite moment on GT5 so far

What made me get it is to start learning how to handle turns without breaking much: start leaving your car drifting, and then only progressively slow down. You'll have much more control on your car this way.

Basically, this event learnt me how to drift and how to attack turns with high speed

 

[Melfice7]

what do you get for golding all licenses?

More cars and XP
