B spec PC control

[Pedal-Force]

I don't think it's up yet. They said December sometime. I'm waiting for this, it's gonna be great.

 

[zhunterzz]

I was surprised to read those comments as well.

iPad owner here, wishing it does

Well at least I can stop looking for it, since it's not out yet...

Lolz, watch it be run with flash. Fail

 

[crunchMONKY78]

Any word on this online B spec mode happening yet?

 

[casual]

i hadn't heard of this before, it doesn't look likes it live yet from the site

 

[hornet_burnout]

Still can't login in GT.com ... still not ok. Will most likely also need a new SW update on the game.

 

[Blessorship]

I can't wait for this. Hopefully someone can write a script that will start a race for you after one finishes. Then I won't have to keep setting my alarm to 3:30am every night to start the next endurance race.

 

[zhunterzz]

I swear, I will never pay attention in class again...

I can only assume that I'll be fired shortly after this comes out. At least if there is an app for my Droid X. Otherwise it'll be blocked from my work internet, which will help me keep my job.

They can't monitor my phone.

I think a really awesome feature would be to include browsing the used car dealership online.

So do 6 b-spec races, check the used car dealership for any gems, do 6 more ect..

Would reduce the rage of people looking for a formula gt and whatever cars they are after.

Hey guys, in case you missed it, it's live:

Post from GT News Thread:

GT HOME It is up entering through HK Site, but, seems to be in a poorly operational status yet, no B-Spec remote control neither.

Edit: it works... , but no B-Spec Bob. Here's how it looks on my account:

 

[Blitz187]

^^^ Awesome... It does work

 

[hornet_burnout]

Yup

Anyone with the Game running can check if more options (like B-Spec) are available?

Nope. At least not that I can see. Also, the website isn't up to date. I completed the B Licenses yesterday, and it doesn't show up on the website.

I changed my profile pic last night and it's there. It's not loading my drivers and cars though...

 

[dLo GSR]

pretty much just allows you to look at your account and your friends, aka the "community" view from in the game.

 

[hornet_burnout]

Well, I was actually to blame as I hadn't set any cars or Drivers to "online". Did that now to see how long does it take, and all I had to do is go to the lounge and the info got updated.

You can click on your drivers for details but... that's it so far

 

[Nooomoto]

Lolz, watch it be run with flash. Fail

That would be hilarious...unless you have an iDevice, then it probably wouldn't be that funny.

 

[hornet_burnout]

I do, an iPad. It wouldn't be at all :s

But it works... so far

Do we still have no news on B spec pc mode I thought they said it would be out december/january.

...as twitted by Kaz:

..which Google translated amounts to:
"Remote race, soon, and I can say around early February."

 

[Hollidog]

So is this going to be an iPhone app as well or just PC? An app would be mean.

 

[hornet_burnout]

It's up!

A) select drivers, choose a b-spec bob and "share with friends"
B) select community and last option is a new icon with headsets. There is no label and it's pretty hidden
C) browse events and cars available etc, then select the monitor icon: "enter server standby mode"
D) Open the GT site and have fun.

You can only race against your friends b-spec Bobs. No AI bots available.

I think maybe we misunderstood the premise. I think they wanted us to race while home but not playing.

For example, I could have my PS3 turned on while I'm sitting here watching a movie or sports or something, and I could be playing B-Spec with my laptop. Basically just freeing up my TV for movies or TV or whatever.

I like using my PS3 for movies... seeing as how it is a blu-ray player and is plays stupid amounts of PC media formats... B-spec my arse... this feature seems like complete crap compared to R&D they could have put elsewhere.

 

[Soullessvessel]

I'm very disappointed with this, I was really hoping/expecting it was going to let me progress through my b spec career.

 

[Cicinho]

So we can only race friends? Not get money and xp from racing AI?

 

[Xenn]

Am I the only one here who kinda likes this? I like the idea of putting my b-spec driver against other peoples drivers, and see how they do.

Locking this as it's an old thread and we have ones with better info from the start.
