Now as this is a game you can do many extra stuff when it comes to training.

One thing with certain tracks is that there migt be only a certain section you want to tweak your times on. So instead of wasting your time doing the whole track just to do once that "special" place you could do just that special place on and on?

Wouldnt you like to see the ability to set a practice mode where you choose
what car,
where on the track you want to start and where it should finish,
initial direction
initial speed


Well I know school modes are like this but this is more for your own practice on specific things you think you lack the skills you would want to have.

Any opinions?
 
In the acade mode there's "free run" in Simulation there's the "race & setting" area. I'd just like to see an easier way to get to where you can setup the car fast and then race or practice by yourself. Speaking of setup, I'd like to see a faster way to get to the setup area for the car as well as a better or easier way to tell what car needs an oil change other than just during a race.
 
i think the section idea is pretty cool...because i hate having to race all the way around complex string just to get to the part i want which is like the esses with the elevation change...if they made it so that you could like make your own section of a track that would be awesome...so if you had trouble doing the corkscrew at laguna seca you could just like make a section of just the corkscrew and do it over and over until you perfect it
 
That would be a really cool feature, if you wanted to practise parts of the track you are having problems on, hwoever you can't do that in real life, and after all GT4 is meant to be a simulator, so it's unlikely to make it into the game :(

Yeah, like jaimie said, it's a simulator. To do this you have to take into consideration the previous corners you took, speed, direction, direction of wheels, shifted weight, skid/no skid, and you would have to make the 3 sec. start like in the licenses. To say it, it won't happen.
 
Well you could just tell the game where to put you at a standing start...but I don't see why bounds of simulation should keep you from being able to have more convenient practice modes. I mean think about trying to practice a later part of the 'Ring! I'd hate to have to drive for six minutes each time I want to practice a 15 second section of the track. I mean like the Nurburgring and all, but that kind of practice will get REALLY old after a while.
 
I was always disappointed that all the tracks were not included in the testing section.:(

I hope they're all included this time.

While it may be hard to implement all the options Soman would like, I think just allowing you to set a start point on a track, and a quick restart to do the section again would do me. As long as the game doesn't have to record any details to the memory card, which would slow the process down and make it more complex, I don't think it would be that hard for PD to do.:)
 
How 'bout having to 'pay' for your practice sessions? ;)
Since GT's a sim, and in real life, you pay by the hour...
