. I'm having trouble with the Intermediate nascar challenges on the outside lane. So hard to get gold, I think i've had at least 100 attempts.

u serious, must be because you use a controller, i did it first time with a wheel

man has anyone fully upgraded the exhaust on a premium s13 with the little 1.8? ive got it at 350hp and man does it sound good and go hard. i too was pretty disapointed at all the standard cars, they are just gt4 with shiny paint..

doesnt matter i guess when ive got my 660hp r33 gtr v-spec (premium), and loving it!!

im having trouble getting gold on the those as well, i think the closest i came was within .010.. yes im using controller. i suspected that was why. having a real hard time keeping a smooth line.

is anyone else's not connecting to the community server? on the GT mode home page i go to community and it comes back saying error fail cannot do that etc

Yeah I'm using the control but changed acceleration to R2 for throttle control. I'ts a pretty intense 13 seconds lol. I was going to buy a wheel for this game but after maxing the mods on the Veyron and R35 the games just way to easy and not that fun anymore. I'll probably get a Driving force GT if I keep playing, is anyone using this wheel here? Or should I get the G25/G27?

Given up on nascar with the controller =/ Bronze is all I can manage on the advanced one =/

Finished all the challenges bar ^ and only managed to get silver for the advanced AMG plus one silver in that tour thing with the WRC focus....

Now need to save money for a LeMans car =/

So far extremely farken disapointed is an understatement.

Don't know what the fark they were doing for the last 3-5 years but it certainly wasn't making an interesting game.

Each GT so far, I've sat down and literally have thought WOW. But this one has nothing!

About the only thing i can honestly say I've thought, man this a big improvement on the last GT is the exhaust notes, thats it.

The AI is something i would expect in mario bros game. AI drivers just tap you and your in a spin into the grass, yet they just circulate like nothings happened.

You can be on the racing line and they just plough into you. Its like you need to get out of their way.

It also has some crap catch up type thing built in. Just did too back to back races in the same car, Race 1 in second place was a fight to get the lead. Race 2 gave everyone 30secs start and caught the field in a lap.

Not sure if i was epecting too much after playing PC sims like GTR2 but so this is absolute crap.

Yeah graphics are great, and yeah nice selection of cars, but I'm close to board shitless after 1 day.

Time to hand in my GT Fanboy badge. I buy the playstations purely for this game and well, looks like it'll be the last one i get.

Yep I noticed that aswell.

When you have an inside view of a premium car and there is a shadow cast over the windscreen or something, it is jagged as hell!

The thing is, if it had came out when it was ment to it would be a glorious game, the fact they delayed it for so long really screwed them over.

If number 6 comes out within the next couple of years I think that is going to be the one to watch out for.

+1 I noticed that too. To be quite honest Forza 3 may be a better game over all the GT5 and this is coming from the man who bought a PS3 nearly a year ago hoping for this game to come out soon. Its not a bad game its just dissappointing because after so long you would expect it to blow Forza 3 out of the water not just get close to or just equal it.

Fark you guys whinge a lot.

Anyone else have trouble with getting gold with slalom challenges with a controller?

Yes, some of the challenges are very very difficult with the controller, i've been reading the GT5 boards and it seems very few people if any have been able to do the later NASCAR challenges without a wheel.

bobbeh - iracing.com !!!

yep, thats next on the list. Have a month off over Xmas :)

I don't know, to me its not that its bad, its just that the entire concept/game play is exactly like the last one.

Personally i would prefer shit graphics but a game that I'm so addicted too that i don't go to sleep, instead of this artsy piece of crap we got. I mean a photo section? FARK OFF, its a game.

This game to me seems like it was purely made to stroke some clowns ego at polyphony cause he thought he could produce the prettiest cars in a game.

Its not whinging if its true :D

Oh and while I'm at it, what the fark is with that message each time you get a car, now you have black paint, now you have blue paint. We farken get it!!

As if this thing didn't have enough screens to click through without garbage like that.

GT5 is like when an actor kills it at the box office and then does one of those back alley semi ghey pron films to show how talented he his. Doesn't matter how you look at it, it still sux balls.

That is one of the most annoying things I have found.

yea the paint thing is a pain in the ass. and if you use one of those colours to paint another car, you cant use that colour again! this is bullshit.. if you go to any panel shop you pay the money and they'll paint your car any colour you want. you dont have to have acquired the paint beforehand lol.

the other fkn annoying thing.. the process you have to go through to accept each prize car.. anyone else get fkd off doing that constantly?

do we have like a sau gt5 group or anything? would be cool too have heaps of us sharing drivers etc

lol yes there is alot of whingeing here.

finally got it and played the hell out of it over the last 2 days. lvl 15 already and i find it hard to stop playing.

sure the shadows are a bit dicky, and in true GT form the sounds are all sorts of wierd. bumping into cars sounds like hitting a wheely bin on the roadside.

but i just dont care. after spending alot of time getting golds in the Nurburgring Merc challenges i was hooked, the physics are freaking awesome behind a wheel. you feel more bumps and bits than GT4. even the old 300 gullwing gets loose over the hills, while the SLS just sticks, and its just a joy to drive. i can see myself loosing alot of real life time flying around the ring in every car i can get my greedy little hands on.

BTW the reason it feels like a GT game is because it is.....if it had been too different i would have been disappointed. and if you think forza looks better then you need a better TV

and yes the trial around the top gear track in the Elise is a bit very annoying....im sure an Elise doesnt just over steer at any speed when you do anything...lol

MORE GOLDS!!!! silver just wont do....

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
