CREDIT GRIND - WTC 600 Tokyo Express - Glitches are Dead.

[rb26dettNUR]

The glitch still works keep same transmission setting then set both power limiters to 90% then add 3 ballast then boom 594 pp

@Famine, I can’t find the delete button in the Edit window.

I started with 10, the added tick by tick. The only thing I changed about the car is adding ballast.


Did the thought ever occur to you that this so-called “glitch” may be intentional? It gives “the rest of us” a chance to EARN money because being a bottom feeder Bronze/Silver driver, doesn’t pay very well!

Be thankful you have the skill you do to EASILY get Gold.

I am fully aware that we are entitled to our own opinions, how about some of us start looking through the lens of someone else’s experience? If you find this “game” too easy, iRacing is waiting for you.

Dude, you're playing a BROKEN game. As long as YOU are getting credits all is cool, right? Doesn't matter if people that want to have FAIR races get ****ed over, huh? I think you should take your own advice...

 

[isamu]

As I started using Tomahawk's exploit only for past 3 days I have to ask you guys: what is currently the most profitable way to earn credits? How many cr per hour (ca.)?

The remote play AHK script continues to work like a dream and I've reached the max CR cap using it. I didn't even feel compelled to try the Tomahawk @ Tokyo grind because well, what for lol?

What is the remote play AHK Script - is this a auto hot key script ??
Where can I find details on this and how to use this ?

 

[Pizzicato1985]

For anyone that wants the old setup at 2285hp:

If you're already using it just set the ballast to 15.

For anyone that didn't, use the settings from the first page (but gearing is shown below regardless)

Set Power Restrictor to 93.
Set ECU to 94
Set Ballast to 15

And everything still works. Guaranteed Clean Race Bonus, though the handling is different since they fixed weight-transfer. I ran a 17min, 60sec slower than what I'd been running so it'll take some time to get used to how it handles (regardless of which settings one uses)

I am having a SERIOUSLY hard time understanding how it is unfair to you.

Are you being forced to grind Tokyo? NO.
Did PD delete every race, championship, license exam, circuit experience and driving mission, leaving nothing but the Tokyo exploit? NO. That did not happen.

In what way are you being F'd over? How? Explain?

You can do ANY THING YOU WANT, nothing anyone else is doing affects you. Any race, any car, any challenge, you can select degree of challenge even. If you don't like the races offered, guess what? You can pick a track and pick the cars you want to race against. Just to make it fair, 3.3m cr will take 100 hours instead of 1. Fair enough for you?

If. you. want. challenging. races. and. lower. payouts. you. already. have. them. Nothing here affects you.

Uh what? What’s stopping you from getting paid besides you? Everything you said after that is kind of pointless.

Trust me, it's not.

It's appalling that people can't beat that event TBH. If you get consistent 2:16s it's very beatable. On Easy it's probably easier.

Kaz's goal with Gran Turismo was always to teach people to git gud with driving. If you want as braindead a game as possible, there's always Forza Horizon.

I have thought/wondered about the same thing. It is entirely unlikely imo, but if it were intentional, it would restore some of my respect for Kaz.

They know that a 20m cr car takes 23 wins + CRB on a 30 minute race. They probably also know what percentage of of GT7 players are able to win at that rate and my guess is that is a very low percentage, so the majority of us will need to find other more reliable (slower) means, because I'm sure not going to spend 30 minutes on a race where I will be lucky to place 4th. Maybe there are events I can win 1m per hour, but that is grinding myself insane for 20 hours for every 20m car. I'm sure I'm not alone on this either. And its not like there is entertaining content enough to get more than 1/10 of the way there. 400m + upgrades?

It would be interesting to know how much salary and time +overtime pay was spent on fixing the exploit, vs how much time was spent on adding races & championships, or addressing the economy issue. Did anyone at the meeting point out that the reason we take advantage of it, is because we don't have any reasonable alternative. I'm guessing no one brought that up.

So, do I feel bad for using a work around for the failed GT7 economy? No.
Do I feel bad for ramming blue flag vipers blocking the road? No.

This is not about beating the event. This is about the payout. At least in GT1-GT4, when you won an event that had a prize car, you would win that prize car repeatedly and could sell it repeatedly.

Are you guys new to Gran Turismo or something? Does “Escudo” ring a bell?

I’ve said it numerous times, we have been doing tranny tricks ever since GT5. Perhaps even earlier.

@Brego, if I’m not mistaken, doesn’t that Viper have chrome racing stripes? Why can’t we have chrome racing stripes or any other Special Color we PAID for?

Have the lobbies been fixed? Does the creator still have to dump the room just to change tracks?

An issue that is common with individuals who excel at any given thing: from your perspective it seems easy, and it seems reasonable to you that it should be easy to everyone else. But this is an illusion. I can guarantee you there are plenty of things that someone else does with ease that you would struggle with, regardless of whether you are trying to apply yourself or not.

There are some things that I am very good at, that most other people just cannot keep up with. There are some things that I cannot do at all, that other people can do blindfolded. It is not simply a matter of applying yourself. No two individuals are the same, and insisting that you are the objective measure of competence at any task is supremely short-sighted.

What’s your deal? What he is doing and what others are doing online are not the same thing and should not be treated as such...

You want to be mad but that is not fair in any way.

The is not broken… you can play it like everybody and even if you choose to exploit the Tomahank glitch that won’t change anything about your races… it will continue being fair.

So you are definitely not ****ed.

 

[SergioRZ]

The root of the problem is the same, be it online or offline.

Obviously the broken PP system adversely impacts anyone wanting to rely on PP values to race online and have some fair fun.

I couldn't care less about the exploit to gain credits, I'm all for that, great for everyone. But I really hate how that is ruining the online racing part because the broken PP system makes every race a gamble... sometimes I'm looking at the cars in my garage and I'm not really sure what I'm looking at, some sub 500pp rated cars clearly running at 600pp or more! When I enter a lobby set with a given PP limit it really means nothing, it's a shame and it makes the game useless for those of us who just want to have fun online in a fair context.

The PP system is the backbone of the game, it sets performance standards for everything, if that is broken, the entire game is broken... as consumers we shouldn't accept that! As gamers we shouldn't accept that! As drivers and car lovers, we shouldn't accept that.

I was hitting 380+ with one of the latest tunes. I haven’t played it post patch and don’t plan on doing it for a while. I am all Tomahawk’ed out. My fastest lap was 1:07 and it required maximum concentration.

I also caused millions worth of damage and am wanted by the Tokyo PD. The streets are too hot. I need to spend some time outside of the country for a bit. Time to do something less stressful like the circuit experiences.

Wow, 380??? I'm at 331 on FM1. Mind to share your tune??

I believe I used post 168 in this thread, but please keep in mind that I have not played the game post patch.

I'm getting the little triangle with the ! in it for PP, anyone know how to correct it?

[lbpomg95]

I haven't raced with the new setup after the patch, but before the patch, the trick with the tomahawk is just drive faster.

For both the quick left-right and the uphill right corners, even with completely worn slicks, as long as you are going at 240mph+(385kph) you shouldn't lack for grip.
Heck you can also make those corners at those speeds on lap 1 in slicks, if you have the nerve. lol

As to the drop off in grip on the slicks, I never experienced anything that wasn't fixable by moving the brake bias forward to compensate for the lack of turn in. I was running some pretty extreme rear toe-in, something in the 0.8 range, so my rears were pretty worn by lap 12, which was leading to a loss of carrying speed in the back half of the track.

The issue I had with the slicks was the lack of grip off the racing line in lower speed corners. Keeping on the racing line can be difficult.
Never had too much issue with the high-speed section.

 

[clazman55]

Yeah, the T1 and the hairpin are very easy to get wrong for the the first few laps. I switched over to using a high HP and IM setup so the first few laps were less stressful(for me, lol)

 

[Streeto]

Says someone who most likely got gold on all the licenses and all of the circuit experience and all of the missions in week one. Let me remind you, we don’t all have that easy of a time. Some of us are only capable of bronze after very hard work while others are silver and bronze drivers.

I got a few golds, mostly silver or bronze. I only have the IB license. Only circuit experience I've tried is Nordschleife, managed gold on the first few sectors after maybe an hour or two, and then bronze/silver the rest. I play these games mainly for online lobbies, but have played on/off since GT1.

Cool assumptions though, bro.

Hi, there, may I have your permission to post these pics on the OPening Post of this thread so that people can see it right away and not search among all these pages?

Will obviously give you the credit.

What's the best way to get the PP to change from ! to a figure?

 

[Grimm6Jack]

Read the Opening Post. You have to copy every single setting there. If it appears a triangle with a ! (the "error" icon) it's because you are missing some other change.

I've done all that I think. I've just been playing with the restrictor and it was jumping between 1200pp to ! , then all of a sudden 574 appeared so that will do me.

Patently incorrect. Kaz's goal with Gran Turismo was always to share his love of cars with others, but do go on.

👍 Thanks very much. If anyone is having trouble, you need to create a new sheet. It wouldn't work at first

 

[breeminator]

I think it's very unlikely it's intentional that the PP system is broken in this way, and I think it's also almost certainly not intentional for it to remain this way, as they've tried to make some changes with this update. To me, the most likely explanation is just that they're struggling a bit to fix all the problems.

If you want as braindead a game as possible, there's always Forza Horizon.

If you find this “game” too easy, iRacing is waiting for you.

Competitive games are roughly all equally difficult, as you have to be in a tiny percentile for skill to be the best in the world, whichever game you play. I was around the same margin off the best times in FH4 as I was in GTS.

No tune available with race hards, or just the one in the first post with inters?
