We wait for you mate
 
Good race guys, I had no other problems during the race other than a slow start. Congrats to S1ck on his podium finish.
 
Well sorry for the 1st turn sideswipe sick, it was ok though.

I must say, a very hard race all round with 2 battles, up front and for 3rd. I think you guys battled back in the pack to so very tough day, I drove better than last week thats for sure.
 
I noticed that G27 guys had nice advantage over dfgt in terms of tire wear . Is it really worth buying ?
p.s. in this race particularly , not sure about any other track

I've never owned a DFGT, but I realized driving style has a huge influence on tyre wear. :)

How many degrees is DFGT?
 
900 .
So your idea is that g27 is not worth its 500 bucks
I don't know much about the DFGT all I can say is I like my G27.

My thoughts were - I dont think the steering wheel has a lot to do with tyre wear, I think it is the way you choose to drive, but I cant say for sure.

Artmann uses the DFGT aswell if I remember right he usually had good tyre wear in f10.
 
I have see yesterday buraspo your tyre wear was the worst after your mine was the worst.Normally your tyre wear is good I have see it on other tracks.ArtMannn have the same tyre wear like me on every track.

G27 is not 500 bucks! I got mine for $218, and logitech no longer sells them I believe. As far as a difference in GT5, I had my best ever races with DFGT, although I've had some good drives with the G27 too. On playstation you want to have a controller plugged in while you play online with the G27 so you can do basic tasks.

Also I had to program some buttons to play GT5 easier/F1 2012 too.

The main problem with the DFGT seems to be its shorter lifespan and of course the lack of pedal resistance and their susceptibility to airborne contaminants and floor rubbish do to a very open space under the pedals.

Immortal you would have been one year old when this game was all the rage, back when music was good and gas was 0.99 a gallon (about 30 cents per liter.) :sly: been playing it to entertain myself instead of driving cape ring in the FGT:

 
Can't make it today I have to attempt some papers:tdown:
Good race
 
I think (and this is of course my idea, not immortal's) that allocating tire compounds for certain tracks a week or two or 4 weeks even in advance like they do in real racing would help reduce pit stops on some tracks.

EDIT: Immortal you will miss out if you dont play this game and only GT6/ i racing (Michael reminds me of Leyba :sly::sly:):

I would love that idea. With the FGT I've found the softs tolerable, but like you guys, I now have to pit really often. I think it would be better if we selected compounds for tracks. We supposedly can't enforce a 2 compound per race rule but we could dictate what compound to use on each track. Would be fun. GT5 in general feels a lot better on the lesser grippy tires.

GTA is overated, always has been. I'll keep an open mind on the new one but Rockstar turns their games into a grind. Repetitive missions all focused around cliche, uninteresting stories. Causing chaos was fun back in the day but it's not as fun as it used to be. And they better fix the driving physics too. Even the arcadish physics in san andreas were better than the painful to drive physics in GTA IV. That was one of the biggest downfalls of IV.

I don't think it is. It's not 500 though, it's only about 250 euros I think. 270 USD. At that price though, it has to compete with Fanatec wheels. I do own just a DFGT, but I've spent many hours on G27, and Fanatec wheels, and I really prefer Fanatec. They have a better force feedback delivery in my opininon, some of them work with xbox 360 and ps3 instead of just PS3, their pedals are better (especially the clubsport), and they just feel more realistic to me. The G27 has 2 FFB motors that transfer force to the wheel with gears, the fanatecs I tried (911 GT2, and the CSR) have 3 motors and transfer force to the wheel with a belt instead. I think the belt drive makes it feel better because it's much smoother force feedback, and the FFB is also much stronger too. If I upgrade, I'm getting a CSR bundle because it's only 250 USD.

Some people like thrustmaster T500 a lot, those supposedly have even stronger FFB than fanatec but those are 600. If you had the money you could also get an ECCI or Frex but those are super expensive.
 
Guys in F1 cars Racing Soft-Hard are same the tyre wear are same the hards are maybe 2-3 tenths slower.The Soft is always best for F1 cars good speed:sly:

When Grand Theft Auto V come out I play it for sure I have like the old Grand Theft Auto for ps2 very much.

nice thx
 
I might experiment with a couple runs, soft versus medium. If I remember there was a substantial gap between HARDS and soft when I accidentally used them that first day at Suzuka. I will drive both to 50% black on the tire wear indicator and see what lap I'm on.

IV didn't have near enough indoor space and overall world size which was about the same size as San Andreas (you couldn't go inside all the hospitals or the police stations either... That's the best part along with strip malls, houses, etc.) It looks like atleast houses are going to return which is positive. The graphics and bike selection looks sublime. I even saw a road bike with carbon aero wheels. :sly:

I didn't have a problem with the size. Honestly I did have an issue with the graphics though, they're super blurry. That's one thing I can't stand in games. When games are blurry it's almost painful for me. GTA V looks much better and it looks like a very cool environment. The environment may sway me alone, but I really hope they've progressed in the way they have the player do missions, because the way it is usually is too antiquated. People like having missions checkpoints often. Especially in something like GTA where your gun collection and armor can be a crucial thing to have before starting a mission, I think it's frustrating to have it all taken away by the many things that can get you killed in that game. Really though I hope the story's good.
