It just depends on the course you're on. If you're on a course like London, which has very few straights, you'll want short gear ratios, while if you're on a course with a lot of straights, you'll want longer gear ratios.

This is where these games start to feel overwhelming to me :lolSolidSnakex said:
So, is there a guide or explanation dictionary or whatever for non-gear heads about all the stuff the tuning shop/menus do/does on a car? I've never futz about with them as I'm scared to make the car worse than stock.
QTF. Takes like a year to get to 55mph in those damn things and then I finally started overtaking when I would downshift during a turn, almost like a speed boost in those bitches.nib95 said:
But then Late in my first lap I got bumped from behind and DQ'd. Got aggravating and moved on to something else.
Played GT, GT2, GT3Aspec, and skipped 4 (pretty much missed every game from mid to end of PS2 generation). Definitely having some gamer nostalgia with the license trophies, but right now I do one a few times in attempt to get gold and if I can't right away I just move on.
Totally in love with the game, first time using a wheel as well, which admittedly probably adds to my GT5 lust, but it's damn good times.

Finally got it, some tips(that you probably already know)
The perfect launch isn't bouncing off the redline. You want it somewhere right above 5k. When you shift(at 7k or when the light starts flashing) doesn't really matter. If you're going by the speedo, brake right before it gets to 140. You want like a 139.99999 :lol
I also had to switch to the chase cam for this one, otherwise you don't know how good a launch you have since the ghost doesn't pop up for a while in cabin mode.

Would someone care to explain me why the hell I cant make a decent turn at 25 to 35 MPH. I can make it in real life, and this game supposed to be a Real Driving Simulator

It's not too complicated. Short gear ratios will make your car accelerate quicker while having a lower top speed. A longer gear ratio will make your car accelerate slower but you'll have a higher top speed. That's why I used London as an example. Top speed isn't important for that track, so you'll want to lean more toward having your car accelerate faster.
I just picked up this small computer desk from Ikea that is ideally suited for DFGT wheel.
It's the Laiva desk and is on sale at IKEA in Canada for $25.

I don't have any photos of my set up yet but it works perfectly. It's small, stable, cheap, and there's a hole in the back of the desk for some moderate cable management.
Check it out. Only $25 Canadian and the wheel fits perfectly. Only downside is that it's not foldable for storage.

Not actually that important

What the fuck would a game's framerate have to do with the kind of tv you're using?
Nothing.
Btw, my preorder still hasn't come in... God I fuckin' hate Zavvi, but I had credit to redeem :/
Mush said:
Well, at least you've got the Ashes?
True.
Not for much longer, mind...

Who did you order with?
Sorry to hear that. Let's suffer together, bros. *fistbump*
I ordered mine in Australia through JB Hi-Fi because they're so cheap compared to most other places. It was shipped two days ago but still hasn't turned up yet. I suppose I'll just have to dealwithit.gif

Ok, im focusing on the Licenses then "A" spec for now, so far ive completed up to IC all gold... EXCEPT IC10. I can finish 2nd for now which means silver.
That ferrari handles like a boat, but after a couple tries i got the hang of it. After lap one, im 3rd place but i can only make up 1 place in the 2nd and final lap. Maybe ill turn on racing lines just to see if im taking my cnr entries at the best place.
On another note, despite how great the majority of the game looks, theres some real eyesores in there. It may have been discussed before but definitely some of the lesser known standard cars and also the
It just doesnt seem to fit the level of excellence they pronounce and expect from them. (Note, i appreciate just how big this project was, but im just stating it as i see it).

The Chaparral 2J. The X1's fan was inspired by that as it increases the cars downforce.

So when can I start running B-Spec mode in the background and just let my driver do his thing?
I kind of wish B-Spec was more like AC: Brotherhood's ally management subgame in which you just set/forget/profit based on odds.

That's been the highlight for me so far.
I'm surprised how much I like the Nascar stuff. I frigging hate that sport irl.
Edit: Right now my Bspec guy can't even keep the car on the track. I press nothing and he still spins out over and over. That can't be right. :lol
