Posting pictures is optional.
What people usually want to see in a picture is that the G's aren't too high and that the time is from 1/4 mile.
If I was to accept PM'd pictures as verification , people would still remain suspicious of "player x"'s time/s.
It is natural that people's first reaction to a new fastest time is : "Wow , really.. no way , he/she must be cheating / running 400m or has SRF on."
About tuning tricks (toe settings) , launching tricks and so on.. If it works for the offline dash , you can and should use it.
But don't come telling me it's cheating because it doesn't work online or in real life.
Tuning out of others pictures.. ? I can't do it for starters
And I'm too stubborn to try to figure out something out of a picture. (0-60 and 0-100 times)
I find it easyer to just test 'n tune by myself.
Preferably everyone sees the pictures or noboby sees them. (No special treatments)
But let me ask you , why did you take pictures of your times in the first place if you didn't want people to see them?
update coming in a few days
I have been doing it long enough that I know the stipulations put on it(though SRF I really believe cannot be confirmed nor denied to be more or less accurate) by the regular crowd here, although I don't understand how it can be justified to make cars more or less accurate to their real life counterparts when very little can be compared to reality anyway, but in saying that, yes I run in mph(as much as i'd like to use km/h since that is the units we use here on the road) and I don't use SRF.
I do not use any tricks besides rev timing which if is considered a cheat I could not care since real life launching is exactly the same, the way I see it and have explained elsewhere is: if it's in the game and available to everyone, regardless of the fact that they may not know how to use it then it can be used with SRF being the only exception. For the sake of not affecting the standing times I won't use anything not already used.
To answer your last question, I actually don't have pictures yet as I haven't even begun to focus on tuning yet, the times I mentioned above are team times, not any one particular persons' times but a collection of our best times achieved overall. I have questioned all my team members to see if they might have used SRF or possibly had been running in km/h as it is a common mistake among people who's game is set that way from the start because of their region or if they have set it that way and not realised.
I'm still debating if I should post pictures at all, because like the fact I haven't taken any yet, I also have nothing to prove to anyone questioning me or my team, only to my team, the people I care about proving it to and to myself. We know what we are capable of and that is enough for us. We are not trying to prove that we can beat anyone, though I aim to beat certain people for my own personal competition(READ: personal, me, not anyone else so think before you post), We are doing it to show that the cars can still be pushed to new limits, even using the methods considered to be regulatory by the people who think they should be the final word on something they believe they should be the authorities on. I have considered just making a new thread period for our times that people think are unachieveable but I can see how it would clash with here.
I value GTP and would rather help than hinder but with the current situation of things I know many will start asking pointless questions just to create an irritation for me and my team. I only asked if I could prove it to the likes of yourself as most people will listen to you(though that may be wrong and they might just give you greif because of the position it puts you in ie: doing me a favour) but ultimately once again I do not care what others feel, think or believe when it comes to my times and my teams' times if they are faster than the current times or not. I want to do it for newcomers more than anything because like me, they need the help, not to be pushed away because they have been made to feel inadequate. I already have people that have proven they can hand out a lickin that will believe the times I tell them, but most of them do not use GTP because of certain attitudes and true colours of some.
I could show people things even on GTP to prove that there are people out there that do not have to prove anything nor want to prove anything but as the statement quoted to me tonight by a teammate that rings ohh so true, 'why educate people if you're not getting paid for it'. I'm doing this of my free time, to help new people, not older more organised ones, who know that seeing others' results are able to see where they lack in theirs and make the improvements and then not give credit where credit is due, I said Karo's posts have helped me in one or two cars, but that was in the early and only for one particular car so I could see where the field stands firstly and to see where I can improve my own tuning overall as I was just getting back into this scene and needed to know where I stand in terms of how much I needed to improve, hope this helps you understand my point of view max.

Yup. Back from 96 I think? It's still working somehow so might as well keep using it

salikriazHey tune your own M3 GTR
I love BMWs and that's my speciality. I know about them in real life too!
I wish they can have a DLC of the new BMW cars, since the engines were changed. The new M5 has a twin Turbo V8 that is just INSANE.
