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

[JESter82178]

Evidently some guys can't read. I said in my post that in all instances there was no draft and no change in throttle imput. If you're going to offer up a reason, at least take the time to read that I've already eliminated it from consideration. I'm willing to buy that it is a network issue but the speeds being reached are real and they are different between cars. The odd part is in my replay, I'm able to get 222 while others can get different numbers on each side of it i.e. 221, 223, and 224. It would make more sense it everyone else in the lobby was able to show 224 and I was 222 but for each driver to have a different speed just seems odd. It is also not just a glitch in the speedo. The car doing 224 is pulling away from the car doing 222.

If you have replays from the races involving the FGT, can you please take a look and see if this occurs elsewhere or if maybe it was just a room issue? DRKronin is probably on the right track of it being something network related but it would be nice to know for sure.

JL you are onto something about the FGT. I have two of them one I bought early this summer and one I bought recently. When I was running practice offline I noticed that the older one hardly hit the rev limiter at all, but the newer one bounced off continually. Same PP/HP for both the only difference was the color. Oil changes were both fresh, all the same specs. I don't think it is network related due to this happening offline-no other cars on the track. To be honest with you I wasn't paying attention to the top speed, just the rev limiter. I'll compare them later this week and see what I find out.

My vote is for combo 2, I got disconnected and I didn't know I could still vote

My vote is 2

Thanks guys, got em recorded.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I think I have 6 fgt's and will take them to the speed test track and do a few top speed tests.

How many of them can you drive at the same time?

Warning long post ahead

Here's a sneak peak into Area 51.

We finally have photographic evidence that aliens exist! I've waited for this day for what seems like forever. It's like seeing a live giant squid on camera for the first time!

Great pics, Worst_Driver! 👍

Speed Test keeps record for top speeds for each run.

Just tested my two on the speed test track. 222.0 on the nose for each one. The only thing I noticed was the speedo flashed between 220 and 221 at top speed. Never hit the actual 222. I don't know if this is significant.

So that disproves my top speed theory not being related to online play. I'll be interested to find out what Oshawa-Joe finds out.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I probably have an FGT purchased early 2011, late 2011, early and late 2012 and 1 in 2013.


@kcheeb, I will not be able to race the next 2 Sundays due to work. Hopefully I can be home on a Sunday night at some point

 

[saxplayer1998]

I wonder if there is something we haven't discovered about break-ins. Maybe there is an "ideal" mileage beyond the 186 miles to get absolute peak performance. After-all the limiter works is x.xx% so it's essentially infinite, there might be something hidden under the xxx-HP or xxx-PP. Maybe it's xxx.xx-PP or HP. Something that's just not disclosed.

 

[Apmaddock]

That shouldn't really matter once you're at the limiter.

good idea because i think 2armedmen's FGT is somehow faster than mine, eheheheheh

Your FGT uses a speedo??? That's sooo gay!

LOL **** off!

 

[Handlebar]

Ok... Moving past fourth grade....


I think most FGT should behave similarly.

What factual, confirmed instances can we record where one FGT beaches differently for the same driver?

 

[Skills]

Are the results and Steward report now combined and published together?

This will ultimately decide if the glitch is the game or the network. If ownes does up 6 cars, and all six hit the same MPH, then its a network issue. anyone have replays from our other oval track races? I'm sure I do in my extensive archive. I have SNAIL replays from when we did 3 races per combo. . Anyway, I wonder if its unique to the FGT or if the other cars are to low of a PP to have made that much of a noticeable difference. Also, is this a new glitch as of the new update, or is it something thats been around for a while and not noticed? I cant imagine its been a long standing issue, as we can't possibly be the first group of people to run a spec FGT race.

Sorry for not having the results post done yet. My internet has been down since I've been home from work (freakishly strong winds causing havoc across town) and it's just now back up and running. I'm about to start working on the post right now, which is something I wasn't going to attempt to do on my phone.

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
ROUND 2 - Pagani Zonda R '09 @Fuji Speedway GT
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since Oshawa-Joe wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it.

The round that received the second most votes was:
ROUND 3 - Formula Gran Turismo @Road Course - Daytona
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since GTP_Worst_Driver gets Prize B, he gets to decide which part of the combo is replaced and what replaces it.

Price C goes to the2armedmen so he gets any gift car ticket listed here.

 

[Worst_Driver]

I've already made my choice. Just waiting for the results to be official.

 

[Luv2Coach]

If any one is on and racing let me know. I have only one friend in Owens right now. And only room is D2. Idk if I am supposed to have access to any other room or not. Just sabyin I'm on PS now.

Supposing it stands, what is it? jus keep it tween u n me. Sshhh

Lol tryin to get ahead of the game I see

 

[Worst_Driver]

You're gonna have to wait
But I know someone that will be happy, in fact I got my idea from him yesterday he just doesn't know it.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I checked my replays for the FGT combo and I was maxing out at 221 while everyone else was spiking at 224.

I also took 5 different FGTs to the Speed Test and they all max out at exactly 222.0 with full power. However, if you limit the power to 79% they will do 222.9.

Guessing the spike (online) is a network issue, just not sure if there is any real difference in speed between the cars, but guessing there isn't.

Now to check if any of the race complaints affect the Prize Winners...

Steward Update​

Division winners are not involved in race complaints or incidents this week. Prize winners are clear to select their prizes. 👍

 

[Apmaddock]

I would bet that the way the FGT handles the rev limiter may be part of the difference.

The FGT sticks really close to the limiter, barely dropping 1 or 2 mph while bouncing off of it.

Other cars bounce several miles per hour down, often revving down slowly before powering back on.

Take those differences and add network latency, etc, and you end up with (what looks like) differences.

For what it's worth, I didn't notice anything like this racing side by side with other guys last night.

A lot of people practice in the SNAIL_Division1 lounge, send an fr and after I'm done rockin' out I'll accept it or zer0 may see and get it before then 👍

 

[the2armedmen]

So long as I don't get penalized I would like the level 24 coupon plz. Unless I read that wrong, the part at the bottom of the list with a list is fair game right?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

I tested a few cars at Fuji earlier today. I really enjoyed the driving the Art Morrison Corvette from the NCD. Need a new track now.

D3 drivers, where do we want to take it? I need a few suggestions to try out.
