A plead to PD to turn ASM off in Nascar Driving School

[PapaGnr]

No, you can map it out on a DS3 too.

I looked for the RT on the DS3 & couldn't find it. Where exactly do you find this??

Its worse for me at Daytona in the NASCAR championship. That is solid. Nearly did it once but ended up 2nd by around 0.02 seconds. GRRRRRRRR

RT Menu? Are we just talking about the RA function on the wheel? I can't seem to adjust ANY settings in race for the NASCAR school. I've also searched through the site and Google and its given me nothing about a "RT menu".

I just finished after doing the last race for about 3 hours. Turned brake bias to 0/0 but you still have to draft like crazy. Don't know if it worked or I just got lucky. I lost a race by 0.007 second once....... Persistence pays off.. And the NASCAR series after is easy and mega dollars.. Bring on formula gran turismo...

It is the RA function menu IS what you guys need. It can be mapped onto any controller including DS3.

Go to Options/Hardware/Change Button Assignments.

Then find 5 buttons on your DS3 you're not already using and map them to the 5 RA function commands. You can then bring up the RA function menu while you're racing and turn brake balance to 0.

Note that if you set the brake balance to 0-0 then get disqualified in that run, it'll revert to the 5-5 default. You have to set it to 0-0 then RESET for it to 'remember' that setting.

Good luck! :-)

I completed the NASCAR Special Events on a new account a couple of days ago. In my opinion it's still easy to gold all of them. You just got to get a decent draft, and for the one where you start in the pits you have to get the 3rd place car to hit you from behind.

I can't believe they haven't fixed this yet. It is like they have to force the ASM on you because without it the challenges would be so easy.

It is just a stupid and unrealistic way to make the game more difficult. Makes no sense to me. Please remove it PD.

Anybody got any tips on turning with the ASM? I thought it would help to be as smooth as possible but that seems to bog me down even more. I've had better results being jerky.

Set your brake balance to 0/0... that way the ASM is still 'ON' but it is less "powerful" so it won't brake as much as it is supposed to!

I did it with my DS3. Turned steering sensitivity to 7. Make sure you are 1.6-1.8 seconds behind coming out of the first bend and the end of the first timing sector. Then you just have to draft as best you can and pray you get first at the end.

Nascar, I don't get it. Why is it included in GT5 anyway. The advanced challenge at Daytona is my new most hated event.
I guess I'll eventually succeed , but at what cost?
Hopefully I'll come out of it with sanity in tact.

That sounds like good advice but how do I get to the brake tuning in the Nascar challenge? There is no settings option, did they remove that trick too??

This is the first, and so far only event that made me feel the urge to break something. I understand that the physics in this game are apparently completely incapable of accurately simulating the Nascar experience, but handicap you by forcing you to be considerably slower than the AI competition through the turns is a ridiculously cheap technique to use. I ended up getting gold after I don't know how many tries (30 or 40?), and I only stuck it out because I'm seeking a platinum in this game.

The reason I hated this so much is because it seems to have more to do with luck than it does with skill. The AMG event is quite challenging and has taken me a bit of effort to get all golds up to the point where I'm at, but when I finish in one of those events I actually feel like I accomplished something that was legitimately difficult where no luck was required.

If you haven't played the Daytona race in the Extreme Series just wait, because it's almost as bad. Except you have to survive ten laps before you see if you're lucky or not. .....and by "survive" I mean just that, at any point in the race the idiot AI drivers will punt you into a wall if they feel like it. Sadly it all comes down to being able ride a guy's bumper in second place for 9 2/3 laps and pass him in a short amount of space praying that nobody else gets in your way.

Oddly enough for this challenge changing the ABS to 10 seemed to actually have an effect. I have no idea why this is, but after I did that the car seemed to hang in there a little better.

I to found the AMG events difficult at first but was able to improve with all aids off except abs was at 1 and I didn't feel that sense of hopelessness that the Nascar experience has brought me.
Some people say to put the abs to 0 and some say to put it to 10.
So now I'll start changing whatever setting I can change to try and put this thing behind me

 

[herburt]

mission accomplished!
I turned the active steering up to strong and after a couple of attempts came in first, but just barely.I switched active steering off and the best I could do was second.
Not the way I wanted to do it but I'll take it and put it gladly behind me

Congrats man. This one was a monster.
