That Renault megane....pos thing it is!
Very true. It was an unfair generalisation. Maybe it's just the tap-tap steerers that twitch, or the game doesn't smooth the inputs visually on the car movement.Crap drivers does not equate to competent pad users.
oh come on -.- First I couldn't get into the game and then I don't get the car for the daily bonus because the servers are again offline? After two weeks of beta I would expect more...
To be fair though a lot more players have just entered the fray...
It's a stress test and clearly that's whats happening...I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now...
Couldn't get in to the oval race, which I have mixed feelings about.
Online now.
"No daily race available"
Huh?
That Dragon Trail track is awesome! Best fictional track yet.
I don't like tap-tap steering either. Generally subtle changes in direction are nigh-on impossible on controller i.e. the output looks jarring most of the time. Good controller players can limit the amount of tap-tap required (unless it's a never ending bend). That's what I strive for anyways.Very true. It was an unfair generalisation.

That looks like an excellent track. Good to see the kerbs actually change the balance of the car somewhat too. Risk/reward.Heres my first race Megane at Brands Hatch
Second race Audi TT at Dragon Trail
It's still decent to play with a controller but i miss my G27
Managed to get one race in, but the servers have shit the bed for me, same for everyone? or is this a result of using someone elses key?
As for the game itself, well, I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much, the bar has been raised since the previous games, with AC and Pcars, but........
Colour me impressed, game feels great, physics are good, I'd say they are better than Pcars, but not quite as good as AC, but the whole thing feels really really slick.
Impressed, very impressed.
I saw Mascot recommending the Cronusmax adapter for Fanatec users in the steering wheels thread, anybody here with any hands on impressions?
People complaining about a beta for online connectivity to not be working properly is, well, people being people I guess.
I don't think they had (as many) connectivity issues with the NA beta?
I don't remember any issues with the US-only beta, but GT is really big in Europe and they seemed to let a ton of people in right away rather than in waves like with the US. So, I guess it's kinda expected that they servers couldn't cope.
PD/Sony have been in complete control of the numbers by making it invite-only. There should have been no surprises at their end regarding capacity, and that's the slightly worrying thing. It has been REALLY bad today with servers going down multiple times.
I wonder if they are switching off certain tiers of users, as I have people on my friends list who are still playing, when I can't get on.

How do you make a racing line visible?
There's a brands hatch race at 20 past, surprised because I thought that was it for the day.
It's been every 20 minutes for me for the past 2 hours.
I love brands hatch.
Currently at 1:38.7 in my gtr on BR....making some set up changes....regardless of anything else at the moment...the handling model is ...fantastic...
That'll do..
Love the 'Hatch, local circuit. ^^

As 60mph-0mph is about the same even though the one below is an older Lancer, I guess the 80-0 stopping distance won't be very different (source: Road & Track):Motortrend (Jan 2011) said:Around our figure eight, the Evo demolished the STI with a 25.0 second run at a 0.76 g average. The STI accomplished an identical mission at 25.6 seconds and an average of 0.73 g — a very respectable number, but well in the dust of the nimbler Evo. Yet the STI matches the Evo's average lateral acceleration of 0.93 g and posts a barely better stopping distance from 60 mph (110 ft vs. 112 ft).
