◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Currently Recruiting for GT7 - JOIN TODAY!!Open

[kcheeb]

Really, the stupid BR-Z? I guess we can have a 86GT/FR-S/BR-Z spec series now. This DLC is pretty weaksauce.

Yeah the DLC was not exciting at all, we want moar tracks ...

Concerned about what's going to happen with the physics side of things and do they have a patch together already

 

[Chiochan]

So, for a measly 99 cents, everyone will be buying this so we could race with the Academy car, right.

 

[zeromisfit999]

I'm glad they are changing the clutch, friggen annoyed with my g27 lately.

Uh oh, GT5 DLC and software update

Coming Sept. 25th, PD's changing a bunch of things, tire wear in endurance races, wing downforce, disable collisions in online racing ...

The most interesting thing to me was the very last thing mentioned. Is PD finally admitting that they had the physics of adjusting ride height bass ackwards all this time?!

I've got larger tires now and 3" lift kit sitting. Springs and Bilsteins. Just gotta get time to install. Will before winter so I can do some wheeling. Now I get tire rub if I articulate much. Which I expected going larger tire. It was bought to work with 3" lift.

It sounds like you and me would get along just fine. I have a 2004 TrailBlazer with 2.5 inches of lift and 265 Goodyear Duratracs on it (with the same tire rubing issue). It has 226,000 miles and is still going.

I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, but I'm wondering if it's the bug where downforce is applied perpendicularly to a line drawn between the stock axle positions (rather than perpendicularly to their actual position), so that when the front end is jacked up and the rear end dropped as low as possible, downforce actually pushes the car forward. (Sorry if that doesn't make sense, but as easily as I can visualize it, I kinda suck at verbalizing it.)

Edit: Another way of looking at it might be that their current (bugged) physics model always assumes that air is traveling parallel to the aforementioned line between the stock axles, so when the front end is jacked up it acts as if the air is actually coming down at a slight angle, allowing for just as much downforce, but with less drag.

I'm wondering what exactly they changed on it. Maybe we can finally fan it like a real clutch on take off or that it slips more. I miss a lot of shifts due to it having to be pressed almost all the way down like a button as opposed to being able to slip it into gear.

Actually, I'm referring to the debate discussed here and many other places. In a nutshell, a lot of people think that raising and lowering front and rear ride height in GT5 actually does the opposite of what it would do in real life.

 

[Skills]

Just curious, how many SNAILs use the clutch and h-gate on Sunday nights?

Interesting. I hope PD gives us a bit more information when they release the patch. I doubt they will though. I will never understand the mentality of software companies (even the ones I've worked for) that are intentionally vague about bugs they fix, as if by doing so they can still pretend that the bug never existed while simultaneously fixing it.

What and go even slower than I already am. Not a chance. That being said I love using the h shifter. It would be fun to get a bunch of us together. I am looking forward to the update. I do hope as some have said it allows us to feed in the clutch.

 

[zeromisfit999]

I do for all cars except paddle shifted cars ^

No more collisions online?! That means a complete fake competition. But I can understand some can't afford...👎

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

@tcrash

Did you get your g27 pots from thesimshop.com?

 

[kcheeb]

Pretty sure it means you can disable them but don't have to. I don't think we'll be disabling them

What would the stewards have to do then?

I'd like to test it out for laughs, but don't honestly see a place for that functionality in S.N.A.I.L. Perhaps useful in some of the Open Lobbies ...

For ***** and giggles, we should have a SNAIL event where we do that weeks races, but with collisions disabled.

 

[BeRandom]

No collisions, strong draft, and high boost. The whole pack will finish within the same second.

Anyone have any events going on tonight? Is it that standard race car series tonight?

If not, anyone want to get something going?

Racefans standard car thursday is happening. Should be a fun night

I guess we had the same idea at the exact same moment heh 💡

@kcheeb where is that at?

Yup, we'll be racing in the Div 2 lounge at 10est/9cst. Check it out if you haven't already!

Do this. With X1s. On the Nordschleife. Make a video.

That would take some serious skill to pull off.

I wonder what sort of top speed you would reach on the Test Track oval.

Easily 500 MPH

Edit: I'm not sure how they did that. Maybe they were all on different laps, so everyone else was ghosted? Does the slipstream still work with ghosted cars? Of course, that will all be academic after the patch.

It does...Only the ride height is wrong (not visually).
I wouldn't like them to fix it though... after 2years and hundreds of tunes later.

Yeah I was thinking all the tuners could get pretty upset.

I use it on the practice days sometimes. Used it with the NSX on Motegi last week and even won a race
