NEW!!! Tuning Sheet

DigitalBaka

Some (constructive) nitpicks:

• Call the first header just "General Info"
• Split make and model
• Line 1: make, model, year; line 2: power, torque, weight
• For parts, go by the headings in the Tuning Shop and keep upgrades together (i.e. ECU is under Engine)
• Use the names that GT uses for upgrades (Fixed sports, height-adjustable, fully customizable not sports, semi-racing, fully adjustable suspensions)
• Keep the headings vertically in the order the tuning shop uses (body, engine...suspension, tires)
• The brake balance controller is just kind of there, so it need not be under the parts list since it can't be purchased
• List out all the tire grades as it would be worth it for ease of use
• For the adjustments, again keep it in the order you'd see on the screen
• Add in power limiter settings
• Gear artios: go 1-8 and final on one line, keep auto by itself on the second
• TCS: instead of ON/Value list numbers to circle since the values are few and finite
• Give two or three tables for track data for those that might test on multiple or have a header row: Track, Lap 1, Lap 2, etc. a bunch of empty cells under for data

I like the idea, of course, just that is what I would change to make it more user friendly. I plan to use this to write down tunes from the forum here so I don't have to keep bookmarking things on my phone or running back and forth from the computer if I forget a setting. Great idea! 👍

EDIT: Further note, I'd be willing to help out with the formatting or such if you need assistance.

Thanks! A LOT!!! Really! Very helpful info! I kinda based myself on the tuning sheet of GT3 by Versus Books...
Yeah, PM me for the formatting help! Thanks very much, sir! 💡

Suggestion: Use the edit button. I'm sure that mods would welcome that too.

Yes, but if it's done with sole purpose of bumping the thread up to the first as you have done quite a few times, it's frowned upon.

Want a tip (an actual one, not continuing our flame war)? Remake it, but in Excel. That way, it's easier for people to edit it and save it. I can tell you, if you did this, I would use it.

Mr. CoolFiat

I am currently working on it! But, it's easier for it to be in PDF so you can print it and bring it around.

GfxJG

Bring it around? Bring it to where? Oh that's right, you can transport your PS3 and GT5 with you wherever you go. -.-

A friendly piece of advice: Think before saying things like that.

Mr. CoolFiat

OMG, just STFU... I meant you can print it and carry it! You can't really carry a file around with you... except for a USB stick. But, I am still working on the Excel Sheet, so just STFU and don't be a d!ck to me.

GfxJG

Exactly, and now tell me, what's smallest? A piece of paper, or a USB stick? I know the answer =P Also, you never told me why you'd even need to carry it around.

Mr. CoolFiat

Stop turning my thread into a flamewar.

GfxJG

I'm trying to help you. But ok. But serious question now, why would you need to carry it around? I'm actually curious here?

Click to expand...

Mr. CoolFiat

Share it with other tuners in RL... review your tunes, compare them. Correct them at work. Put in your binder, and never forget where you put your tunes! I don't know, you can just carry it with you. It depends on your taste. k?

GfxJG

My taste still says that I prefer to keep mine on a computer =P I carry it with me everywhere anyways =P

Mr. CoolFiat,


Nice work. There is a workbook that was linked on this site in the Prologue form years ago. The PS network member name was Eulogys. I can't get to the PS network on this computer anymore. Do a google search for 'GT5P Car checklist/tuning sheet/lap time chart'. I think this would be a good starting point. That member might already be tweaking the old worbook, so you could save some work.

I still have the binder with all of my old need for speed: porche unleashed setups. From 1980 something. On paper. The GT4 file from last year: Where did my 5yr old daughter put that tiny thumbnail drive... headslap!

Mr. CoolFiat

Great sheet, but it's not a competition here to see which is better (though mine is bigger and more detailed).

I didn't post it as a competition it was meant to add some other ideas to what you are working on. Don't get so defensive, I don't care if your dick..I mean spec sheet is bigger just learn from what others are doing. If you don't want people to compare it to others maybe you shouldn't have made a poll.
