DLC is locked to a specific version of the game. If it's purchased from the European store, it will only work with a European version of the game. There have been many individuals that have complained about this after they made a purchase from another regions store only to find out that their new DLC purchase would not be compatiable with their version of the game.

I don't have any personal experience with this, but I have spoken, through message boards and game chat, with more than a few individuals that can confirm this.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. That makes a lot of sense actually. I suppose it's a PAL vs NTSC issue. I was making one last attempt to save Motegi, but even if the two were compatible, it might not have been worth the effort anyways. Besides, COUNT210 has already made his pick to replace Motegi so let's just roll with it.

working on my pick now, will be posted within the next 1/2 hour

I was just running cars on GP/F, you beat me too it haha. dammitt. Well played, haha. Back to the drawing board. Great minds think alike, and a very good pick. =)

I could pick another track if you'd like. I have a couple others I looked at.

Thanks to the stewards for reviewing this week's incidents. I've updated the results post to reflect the changes in standings that the penalties made.

I was also going to ask COUNT210 to pay special attention to the notes in green, but he was already all over that and has correctly picked a replacement for Motegi.

Disregard this post for the moment, chose a car, but could not change the color, and I do not like that idea.

Edit: I select the Lexus IS F Racing Concept @ Cape Ring Periphery

 

[DJones]

Good to have you back on the grid! As for the shirts, I'm just waiting on one of the newly crowned "good racecraft" winners to send me his T-shirt size. Then I'll be placing a bulk order for all of the shirts together. Everyone should have them in time to wear them in their family Christmas photos!

I suppose it's a PAL vs NTSC issue.

My guess would be disallowing buying from a region whose DLC is cheaper.

We're getting the last of the addresses, will then place the order and ship out 👍

 

[dangerzone641]

Practice in D1 anyone?

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Practice in D1 anyone?

I wish I could get some practice in while I'm home but I can't even move. Icing my lower back to see if it helps. Sucks being old(er).

 

[TEX36]

Apparently it is not a concern that we cannot change/paint the wheels of the Lexus. No concern of mine, just mentioning it.
Happy Thanksgiving, S.N.A.I.L.s

 

[Count 210]

Anyone know why there are no "reverse" circuits in the Cape Ring series? I find it curious.

 

[Oshawa-Joe]

Drgreenthumb - your inbox is full again.

Then we would have like 8 Cape Ring tracks which may be excessive. The Lexus should make a good race though, it's a pretty fun car if I remember correctly.

Edit: Actually there would be 10 variations...

 

[OwensRacing]

I'm resigning from SNAIL gentlemen. It just not fun right now for me, the racing is way to tight for the strict boundary rules. I'm not into penalties. So to avoid anymore. I won't be on track.

Enjoy


Edit. I should note the games update has ruined it for me. Combine the ridiculous push from the update and last weeks issues. It's just not something I'm into now. I honestly on the verge of quitting GT5 completely. Lack of another racing game is the hold up.

Excessive for whom? I could handle or it at least I could try.

The Lexus is good on the Periphery the front goes up in the jump but it handles the landing well. 👍

Sad to see you go Owens. I've enjoyed racing with you the last few months.

There is one that is going backwards... I remember the big U turn right afterthe pits... Cape Ring is awesome on the Caterham... 👍👍👍

 

[JLBowler]

I am most likely out for this week's races on Sunday. I am nearing the end of my current term in school and I have to take an exam that starts an hour before the races on Sunday night. If I happen to finish in time, I will still show up, but for now, count me out for this week.

 

[Count 210]

That's Cape Ring and/or Cape Ring South, Periphery is like Cape Ring Reverse with the Inside out.

I'll go out on a limb here and say: Assigned color combos/driver numbers are a relic of bygone days new members are no longer instructed to select them nor are they listed on the Official Drivers List any longer. So I guess that point is moot

I would disagree. Having colors to recognize people is really helpful. We just need to encourage the new people to use custom colors more.

 

[Count 210]

When does the OCD reset this week? Just asking because the Amuse S2000 R1 '04 is available now but won't be after reset.

Not true, we just don't force anyone to pick a color combination.

Every one of my welcome posts tells the new drivers about it and when they submit their time trial, zer05ive mentions it again.

It's up to you to decide.

 

[OwensRacing]

Sad to see you go Owens. I've enjoyed racing with you the last few months.

I enjoy SNAIL and commend all those involved on an excellent job. It's not SNAIL or anything to do with anyone. It is update 2.09. With this GT5 has ruined the game on many aspects for me. Basically I am having serious trouble coming to terms with cars that don't steer anymore. I hit the apex and start into the throttle only to have to dump it twice to keep from pushing of track. Before update I never had this kinda of push.

The physics change has plagued me from day one. I tuned my NASCAR Monday night and had the car solid and felt awesome. Was ready to rock. Tuesday update comes. I jump in to try my NASCAR out. It was over a full second slower and drove like a pig. So back to tuning to try and fix a perfect tune from last night. No luck even getting the car to drive right. I like a car with enough oversteer and throttle oversteer I can spin it out with wheel input and matting the gas. Not now. No way. So that started my frustration. Compound the JGTC2 series and my favorite track. GP/F. The car would not turn to Save it's life. After a week of tweaking tuning. I got some help last night and the car is "drivable" however it's not right.

Now here we are today. The NASCAR and JGTC2 thing has upset me pretty badly. Compound that with penalties directly related to the new physics and now I'm mad. Not at anyone here or on GT5. I love you guys. It'd Kaz and his stupid ass update.

I may calm down and rethink this. However as of right now I'm very frustrated.

Sorry to bail out. Which is something that bothers me too. I'm not a quitter. However when something doesn't bring the enjoyment it did two weeks ago. It's trying. I had enough stress in my life that this game wasn't supposed to bring that. It was my zen place. My happy place. Kaz thank you for ruining that.

I'll still be around and most likely bite the bullet and join in.
