Silly Easterner, I thought you were in Ontario :lol: sorry.


But, yeah, sounds fun. Tip: road courses are more fun than ovals, rally more fun than road courses. ;) IMO at least.

There's not much choice over here. Mostly ovals (half of them for horses) and not really any rallying going on that I know of.

Weren't you at the top for a while? I'm sure you'll be fine. 👍
 
Hello all, first post here, just signed up after snooping around on here from time to time.

First, I want to say congrats to all who will finish in the top 28 and good luck at the finals.

Second, I will have to let my 2:17.442 stand as my final attempt as I will be heading out for a couple weeks of military training. Been trying GT Academy for a few years now, and this is my first year with a G27 so I'm content to be a few seconds off after a few hours of work. Loved the challenges this year and I've learned a lot reading these posts so thank you to all who run this community.
 
After redding a 2:20.5 I golded with a 2:20.953
So I am good. Another car.
 
I am curious as to what wheel the top guys are running and also as to what FFB setting you are running? @Doodle, @VindictiveScrub, @outlaw4rc, @Adventuruss and company - I'd love to get some answers.....

As for the academy - I am really hoping that I can figure out what my issues are, knocked .8 off my best, which is still a dismal 19.197 (over 4 seconds off the pace). Did that on my first lap and just keep getting slower and slower. First sector is ok, can be between .1-.4 slower than @Doodle but lose out massive amounts of time in the second sector and just maintain the gap in the third..

Again, I'd like to get a little survey/input as to the wheel and FFB setting you guys are using please.

Thanks,

Don
 
I am wondering if a lot of the other guys are using it too. This T500 at times feels like a hindrance more than an aid.
 
I use FFB 10 and a G27 as well, but my G27 is in rough shape these days so I honestly can't say how much the wheel itself is helping over other types of wheels. As far as the T500RS goes, in my experience using it, which is little, I was maybe 1-3 tenths slower, but the feel is drastically different to the G27, so that could just fall into adaptation. I know one of the finalists last year used a T500RS for awhile, never liked it and eventually switched back to the DFGT and picked a couple tenths back up as well as some consistency.

I only have experience with the DFP, G27 and T500RS, and at least when it was new my favorite is easily the G27, but I don't know if the issues I have with it these days are from wear or I'm just now becoming more aware if its flaws.

I have a T500RS and I use 5 FFB. Personally I think it's too stiff, but I don't like it any lower. Plus I'm too lazy to mess around with settings that much :lol:
 
I have some improvement like half sec by now (2:20.268), still struggling to break through 2:19

i found aliens are all over the world, 2:14.xxx ? no way for me, not even close!!!!!!!!!!
 
I got a small improvement down to a 2'16.648, only one more second to go. :dunce:

About force feedback I'm on the standard PS3 settings on my GT3RS.

I want to share a concern for owners of older G27s, they slowly wear out and become progressively more loose. It wasn't until I recently replaced mine that I realized how inaccurate it had become. I know new wheels ain't cheap, but if GTA means enough to you, it might be worth it to invest in a new G27.
 
still struggling a bit to get gold not having a wheel. Just ran a 2:21.030. . .things were thrown haha

EDIT: finally got gold with a 2:20.587

Well I "slowed down" my inputs in a few bits and managed a 2:18.370 which is my largest improvement so far. I'll keep at it to try to break into the 17s / 16s during the week and with some coaching this weekend I hope to break into the elusive 15s! Stay positive!!
 
Pretty tricky car, not easy to find it's limit, also a very weird LSD.
looking forward to get into top ten and show the Chiliean power to the GTAcademy organizers
