Uhhmm... Yeah.

But the M4 can't be painted and you can't change the wheels either.

 

[juicybeans916]

Oops lol!! I meant the the others because base model white is boring.

 

[Azure Flare]

Yes, you can.

But lets keep lime green body and/or wheels to a certain tolerance. Having just 1 in any division is far too many.

And no, you can't have #69 as somebody had to be classy enough to take it already.

 

[qwietstorm]

HUGE shout out to @Nicktune for showing me how to find lost time in the GTR at GVS!

 

[Handlebar]

And after you paint, and oil change, put a number on it!

Check the color/# link in @KTR5 signature - one of his posts is above mine.

Just finishing up shifter install and will be ready to try new G27 that I got today!

Wow, why didn't I get this set up earlier, I feel like I actually have some control under braking now, and apparently it will be even better when I get the GTEye. The other big change I noticed was being able to recover the car after getting out of shape, where I would have been off the track with my DFGT, I was able to correct and continue on.
I can only imagine what the higher end wheel and pedal systems must feel like!

Then, there is this that can be applied, on the fly, to your G27.

Thanks, sounds interesting, I'll try that tonight. Didn't mess around with any settings last night, just used it straight out of the box.

Just do it! The settings take the dead spot out if the steering and makes it much more responsive.

Don't know how far some of you have dug into that G27 thread but here's a link to some pictures that show what those settings do.

Thanks Dragon. I haven't experimented with this but I just might tonight while I have some free time. Can you explain the "T", "S", and "X" as well as the 1+2 stuff? I don't know what any of those mean or how they correlate to the wheel.

TIA.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

T, S, O & X are representative of the buttons on the DS3 Triangle, Square, X and O. 1 & 2 represent the Select and Start buttons on the DS3. The G27 shifter module has the TSOX buttons arranged at the top in the same pattern as on the DS3 and you will have to map the Select and Start from within the GT6 setup menu to other buttons of your choice.
I use the 2 middle red buttons on the shifter console for Select and Start. If I have time tonight I will get a picture of my GT6 wheel setup screen.

 

[qwietstorm]

Ok gotcha. Thanks. So can I use these mappings at any time or do I have to be in a specific menu or screen in order to activate the different mappings?

 

[Mirado_7]

For anyone with a DFGT, all those setting work there too.

Any time after it calibrates. It's the logitech software in the wheel and not game related.

As long as GT6 is loaded, the settings will take effect until the wheel recalibrates.

Not all DFGTs work with those keystrokes. Mine does not.

Is that a G27 thing? My dfgt holds the setting until told otherwise directly.

I have read that on some of the older ones it does not work.

 

[qwietstorm]

Thanks Dragon for dropping that knowledge!

I have read that on some of the older ones it does not work.

I have read that if the wheel recalibrates, at either wheel disconnect/re-connect, game reload or PS3 reboot, you have to redo the button press combo to re-enable the setting. Since they don't work on my DFGT, I haven't been able to verify that claim. So far as I know, if the G27 auto-re-calibrates, for any reason, you will have to redo the button press combo to enable your preferred setting.

 

[BayouSimDrifter]

yep i use the 670 degree setting and havent gone back since

Crazy time on the RX-7! was that in an online room or time trial, I played around a bit last night, I can get close doing the time trial but online i am 1:23.xxx

Also I think Neo was killing it last night with the M4 with 1:23's not sure on his exact time though

For now on, if you're submitting a time, send me prove if it first. A picture etc. And if it's online or not with tire wear. I want to make this and the "Gearing" a steady thing, and I don't want false information.

it was online in a room i opened with tire/fuel on "normal"
was only able to do it for 1 lap tho
been practicing quite alot yesterday and wasnt able to get below 1:22
my average is 1:22, 5 to 1:22,8

i suck major at the other 2 combos, i cant seem to throw the car around like when i watch the really fast guys
i watch their brake points in apricot hill for the hairpin but when i try to copy them it always overshoots, not sure what im doing wrong

 

[GumballCGT]

25 Hours of Thunderhill! BOOM!

I'm hoping to be there! We will see...

I don't think I was going that fast. Last night was my first time back on the PS3 after the trip to New York.
