Gt5 Is Ready

[NISMATT]

Yeah there is no pause for enduros I just left it on overnight.

[89CAL]

if theres a 24 hour le-mans or nurburgring event, who would honestly stay up for a full day doing that lol

should be a way to save and re-join later

I got the Toyota minolta 88C-V last night, and added a turbo, 1080hp i think, its fast and pretty good but my god its twitchy, Mind you im playing with a controller and traction control and ASM on so when its oversteering its catching the car and putting fairly bad understeer into it which shoots it straight off if your not careful. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

dont be useless. lose the extra turbo.. lose the TCS.. lose the ASM.. even with the controller its not hard to feather the throttle where you need to. dont forget those le mans cars are engineered to only turn properly at high speeds or under throttle, so if you slow down to much and have no throttle on going through a corner you will be absolutely murdering your potential lap time. even on extremely low speed corners you need to be at least partially on the gas through the corner to maintain proper grip and neutral steering

the same applies for virtually all le mans & F1 cars

[89CAL]

But more power is always fun

Think it's just the asm catching the oversteer and making it unpredictable. Will have a go with it off next time. Need somewhere to clamp my wheel and pedals so I can race properly

Anyone else on here got an X1?

If so, what's your best Tsukuba lap? My best so far is 29.6

I got one last night that thing is stupid fast and hard to control with a pad, i did probly 10 laps with it and my best was a very very sloppy 32 something, I need lots of practice just to keep it on the track it is just so fast.

[sh@un]

Yes. Yes it is.

Definitely a wheel'n'pedal machine.

Also got 58.98 at Fuji

[89CAL]

whos gonna be the first to post up there top speed in the X1? imagine it can go pretty fast if setup right

[sh@un]

I've seen just shy of 480km/h on the chicane-less Mulsanne straight in practice mode just after run-in (1557hp), with downforce set to minimum.

[mad082]

was it still accelerating or was it maxed out?

wonder what my veyron could do? i'm guessing not quite as high, but i hit 405 on the daytona back straight before slamming into the wall, lol.

[sh@un]

accelerating very slowly- the bumps knock it around quite badly, and it's very twitchy with the d.f set to minimum. also realized the toe-angles were set to - and +1 front and rear standard, which may have scrubbed some speed. car makes less power now so there's no point trying again

it's geared to do 507 (which you can't change), you should be able to get 490 or more if you cruise up behind a Le Mans car 3/4 of the way down the straight and get an aero tow

[NISMATT]

Ive got it up to 499 with a tow at le mans.

Edit: Just had another crack at it and it redlines at 499 with aero turned to minimum.

style

[barraspalding]

i've not dragged the wheel out n cranked this game in a few weeks... will get bak into it one day

[89CAL]

I think I only managed 420 or so in the veyron, but that was just a practice run to see if it would hit 400 with no other cars on the track. got my 111 feet per second or whatever it is lol so i was happy. Been hitting B-spec lately. My hot headed driver is getting quite good at level 12. Nowhere near as much frustration

[NISMATT]

Anyone else got funny B spec names? I just hired 3 more called F Massa. S Oneal and S Bullock. Cant hurt to have a chick driving my X1.

erm, doesn't the "backup" utility do this?

I upgraded to a 500GB HDD and all my save games went across no worries. Just needed to re-sync the trophies.

i didnt upgrade, my console died. making it impossible to get access to my saves.

one time i tried the backup utility it tried to backup everything on the drive, movies, music, the lot. didnt have a flash drive big enough for it. i only need a backup of saves but it doesnt let you do that

I know, but you could still remove the HDD from the stuffed PS3, put it in the new PS3, perform the backup to an external HDD then put the original HDD back in the new PS3 and "restore"
