You're not supposed to know. PD all ninja like these days.

Sneaky, they are!, Remember Pearl!

Thanks @dangerzone641 I will be running my brake calipers "Yellow" and my number as always is 39, even though Newman ain't in it! I picked it and will stay with it!
Won't, will not EVER FORGET Dale! "3"

You can paint brake calipers?!?! That's interesting:tup:

Haha you bet I will

So far it's taken about 10 to download, 15-20 minute install at the XMB and now it's bouncing on in-game install between 8-9 minutes displayed time left.

Thanks for the info.

@zer05ive @JLBowler @KTR5 perhaps an official decision about the West Coast time slot needs to be made. I would almost suggest creating a casual lobby for people to unwind after the main races and for those that can not race early to get some good track time with some great racers.

The decision is not up to us, it's up to you guys. We made the decision a long time ago to set up a West Coast division and that decision still stands. However, it's only possible to have the division if we have the manpower and the leadership to run it. Right now we don't, but I'd be happy to see that situation change for the better.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

About 37 minutes, going by my first post about the update, start to finish.

 

[JLBowler]

I hate to rain on everybody's parade, but nobody will be painting brake calipers for use in SNAIL. The update notes state it can only be done if you have the racing brakes installed on your car.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

I'm about to test that on one or both of the 2 race cars we are about to run next week.

Neither one's stock calipers can be painted.

Oh man! Really?

Edit; at least they gave us nothing!
Who do they cater to?
Clearly it's not the drivers that do spec racing!
Who drive to their own ability as opposed to a driver that can "manipulate a cars characteristics" and falsely become fast!

No! They over look the best league on GT Planet, that sends them the best and most competent racers to groom and promote for their own self glory as to say to the whole world, "look what we have done"

Wish they knew their demographic just a bit better, of course I'm sure they have a research department and I may not know of anything Grander than SNAIL but seriously!, they most know where Nick, Chris, Martin, Dan, Joey, Doug and Brian came from!

Let alone this years contestants from!, where? Snail.

 

[Pizzle13]

since some of yall mentioned you like the multiple cars banners
i was finally able to make some for the lambo with todays practice sessions
here are some alternatives
tho i like the original one the best because its from the "sunny" side

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Looks like the change to numbering consists of getting 5 base stickers to choose from to put your number on. Supposedly there are more cars we can number now as well.

@Pizzle13 I like the middle one the best.

What do you mean on the first part? I am in the middle of the update.

 

[dangerzone641]

@dragonwhiskey, does it say that the servers are under maintenance?

[CinnamonOD]

Are you guys going to implement the number thing on street cars?

Because that is a thing now

 

[JLBowler]

There are five different number "plates". The text for the numbers is unchanged.

I was able to put a number on the Lambo that is set to be used this week. I don't know if that applies to all cars or not. It might be another difference between the old premium and standard versions of cars.

You can only paint brakes that are bought I think so they would count as tuned

i feel the track is to big and overpowers the banner

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Yes.

I suspect when they come back up a couple new seasonals for the new VGTs will be up.

Who's laying odds on a hot fix patch out later today (friday)?

Unless SNAIL management decides differently, I'll be numbering every car the game will let me.

I disagree with joby to the extent the track maps are essentially watermarks. Perhaps fade them a bit more? Besides, the track is 50% of the combo, so...

FFS, wake up, want to practice a little; 2 hours worth of updates to be done, Thanks Kaz....

On the bright side:

2 hours??? The whole thing only took me about 25 minutes and the in game install was most of that. The actual download only took about four minutes.

3x for 3x PS3's

3x for 3x PS3's

That hurts, but I guess it's worth the experience

I wish someday I get da munnies and buy myself a triple screen setup

But first, a wheel and a stand

He who make the banners gets to choose them.

That's always how it's been. While you can certainly take feedback from others, it's ultimately your call. 👍

To all you photographers out there, you should know by now what kind of photos @Pizzle13 is looking for and that he gets them done early in the week. Therefore, post them asap once the new combos are selected if you want him to consider using them.

Built not Bought

total setup was cheaper than 4x Takeoff Slicks and a tank of racefuel. I ate 5lb bags of rice, beans, and tortillas for 2 weeks, totally worth it.

OMG CAN IT BE TRUE!!!!!

The following issue has been addressed:

- An issue where it was possible for the game to become unstable under certain circumstances when selecting the Mount Panorama course.

 

[dangerzone641]

Idk about you guys, but I definitely wouldn't mind owning a chair like this

Edit: if you reset the game, there is another small update that allows you to get on the servers
