Hi all!

I just wanted to send a big "THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!" for those people that made an effort to discover how to remove the time limit!!!

NURBURGRING IS :dopey: :dopey: :dopey: :dopey: :dopey: :dopey:

Bye

I actually want to play this demo now, I spent like two hours just hotlapping the Nurburgring yesterday. Although I still can barely manage a clean lap, but the cars are more interesting to drive than the 1-Series.
 
@ all Mac users: I finally matched to burn the Demo. Live´s so easy when you know how to do!! If you make a .toast image with toast 6.0 you patch it with the ppf tool and burn the image! And here we go! thanks to sven for your help!
I had the Demo with limit an made an Image of it!!!

relio

You guys are great! Thank´s a lot

Now, if they could just keep them from slamming into us, we'd be golden.
They actually won't ram into you...well not all the time. The AI brakes when you are in front of them driving slower, but if you spin out and they are coming full speed you don't exist anymore and end up getting slammed. It is definitely much better than GT3 but still needs alot of work.

BTW, Bless all that helped getting rid of that pesky time limit 👍 I can't wait to get home and play Nurb full lap. Chrismas has come early this year :)
 
Nice work guys! Now it's finally possible to drive a full lap on the Nurburgring in the Falken GT-R :cool:
I also have the small 'glitch' that the ranking of the cars after a race have distorted names but I don't care about this. I just press start race again as soon as a race is finished. :)

I agree. The AI is better but still not great. The AI will ram you, but not as often. Interestingly the AI also seem to play dirty a bit. If they get up on your tail they will do anything they can to get by you. Bump draft, loosen the rear of your car, etc. If they get a nose into your rear quarter panel and there is a slight turn coming up, watch out, you will be in the wall.

Braking into corners is much better though, they give you room and don't ram all the time. They also don't seem to rocket themselves into the kitty liter anymore either.

So it's better but still need alot of work.
 
Sorry if i ask, but what is the kitty litter? The so called zebra zone ?? Or what?

The AI does in fact play a bit dirty (you should watch Best Motoring :dopey: ) and it's fairly good.....but that pesky Viper :guilty:

The gravel traps.

I can't beat that damn Viper in the couple of tries I've attempted it. :grumpy: The closest I've got to it at the end of the race is 14 odd seconds. :mad:
 
I've noticed that while I'm in the lead and the Viper starts creeping behind me it will not try to pass until it finds an opening. You can hear it downshifting while it's behind you and slowing down. When it passes it has been pretty clean for me. I wish I could make a vid showing this but I don't have the tools...maybe somebody else will?
 
I started to pay attention how AI drives, specially in replay
in case you don't know, you can press square to display HUD
then go to AI car and see how they throtte and brake
pretty interesting ... and I can see my driving is pretty lame
 
Wow, excellent work on removing the time limit. How fast is the Falken Skyline, I'm flying most of the time ;)

BTW I had to patch my ISO twice, the first time I patched it (The PPF way) it said it worked, and the ISO file date was updated but I still had the time limit. So I patched it again and checked the file after mounting the ISO in Daemon Tools and it seemed to have worked this time, burnt the DVD and away I went, lost on the Nurburg Ring ;)
 
Does anyone know the Falken's real life Nürburgring times? They've got to be available somewheres....

P.S. Something didn't work with my file upload, so I can't offer it for direct download, sorry =/
I could start a torrent if I knew what "tracker URL" meant...

The AI is better than GT3, it now switches sides to try and overtake if you defend one side of the track. I can't believe I got caught out though. :dunce: I got a tank slapper and slammed into the barriers. :dopey:

On board AI car - me in front :indiff:

*Sigh* guess it's time to sort through more broken links....
Thanks though.

Dude, I'm sorry...but there are almost 60 pages of information here about this demo. Anything you could think is written in this thread. From what it is. How to get it. How to crack it....blah blah blah - in very detailed posts! Not only that but look at almost ANY torrent or p2p search engine and you'll find it...

It isn't that hard to find. On the net either to download or buy!

(I'm not trying to be a d#@& here, but you just can't show up and expect things handed to you on a silver platter.)

:yuck:
 
Dude I hear you, and believe it or not, after classes yesterday and today, I read the ENTIRE topic. Unfortunetly, SuprNova is down, I cant find it on IRC. Newsgroups are another world to me, and the links posted earlier in this thread dont work. So after many hours of frustration I finally decided to post. I dont want everything on a silver platter, just the demo ;)

No worries, but I searched 2 things listed in this thread (go back about 20 page) just now and found it.

Good luck.

Worst comes to worst - You can always click here
 
I've burned the .ggie (iso w/out time limit) onto a DVD-R and DVD+RW, but when I try to use them ... all I see is the message that says 'Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 disc'.

EDIT: I just grabed the par2 files & it seems like they use the .rar files. 💡 I'll test this again and let you guys know if it works.

... still doesn't work.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
 
Just a quick question, am I the only one who is getting odd sounds while racing? Like something is playing at the wrong samplerate?

it seems this is a bug, restarting the race by going back to the menus will fix it i think, this happens when you touch grass it seems, and it's rare enough not to be annoying, but hopefully it's not in the final game.

edit: also, has anyone noticed that the R/L channels seem to be reversed?

umm, franz is refering that he's paying attention to the way the computer drives in the perfect driving line, AI better than GT3? umm, first off, WHAT AI, there's no AI in GT4, it rarely brakes to avoid collision, it will crash into you even if you don't brake early in a corner, and drive you outside of your space if you are next to an AI car if your space happens to be in the ideal line... so can you please tell me how the AI is better? it sucks, bigtime.
just grab the falken skyline and watch the much speedier viper and vette ram you from behind whenever you brake before entering a corner (since those cars don't seem to have any visible understeer, and therefor don't brake nearly as much as you need to) the viper will ram you repeadetly, it will NOT try to overtake you by waiting for a pass section.
if you're on his path, it's best of you to just move aside.

as far as the other AI cars go, you got passed by them??? how? they are SLOOOWW, difficulty on the demo seems to be on "easy" for the "AI".
the AI is extremley slow on ALL CARS but the viper and the vette (those 2 cars seem to heavily outclass the other cars they are put against.)

heck, it's so slow, i can beat the AI easily when limiting my revs on nurburgring to make things a bit more intresting (i'll drive the RX8, but instead of using the 9k RPM i'll shift at 8, always.)
of course, this has nothing to do with AI itself, this just seems to be a difficulty limitation, it's got to be on "very easy", cause as soon as the race starts you can pass all 6 cars with out a sweat.
