You have to actually drive your car to the desired position, but you don't have to wait for the replay. Just pause the game right there and you'll have an option to get into photo mode.

Its pretty good being able to jump straight into photomode
 
It's very convinient.

I've been creating a few simple vinyl groups just now, put a couple of them on my storefront.
 
Easily the most realistic looking carbon fiber in my storefront. Haven't found anyone else with anything that looks even remotely realistic by comparison. All you have to do is pick one of the silver gradient colors from the "special colors" list (the second from left looks the most realistic, in my opinion), and apply one of my carbon overlays.




;)
 
I think I'll have to check it out afte that shameless plug ;). I've not found any good ones et either.

I try to make all my own vinyl groups though because I can't put my desings on the storefront if I don't. Not that my desings are anything special to put on there though. I'm happy enough with my PUMA logo with the leaping cat, though I think it could do with a little bit more work.
 
I don't remember where I mentioned (or where it was mentioned in general) the menu music in FM3, but my favorite tune finally made it up...

Shameless indeed. :sly:

The reason I mention it...

I looked everywhere for realistic carbon fiber, to no avail. Everything looked terrible. So, I finally took the time to make my own, and it looks the part, if I do say so myself. It will be free on my storefront for a limited time (currently 5k, but it will be free starting tomorrow morning)

I figure some other people might be interested in having some good looking carbon fiber without having to put in the work to create it (about 900 layers for a full car)

To see what it looks like, check out one of my full carbon designs for sale.

Yeah, even when host...👎

I will probably be on again tonight if we're racing again.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid I will be out for the next 3 weeks or so. For last 2 days, I have a very nasty toothache that I need to go to the specialist dentist for in the next few days and its really taking its toll on me. Also, end of the semester is near and I will need to do a LOT of studying for exams. I will see you all in about a month's time (Dec 18th is my final exam). Wish me luck with my tooth. The studying is difficult and time consuming, but being ill at the moment makes my life very difficult. Hopefully I will get better in the next few days (taking anti-biotics). :ill:

Which reminds me...how do I find a specific person's storefront? I've gone on to look for somebody's design before and couldn't find a way to just look someone up..

I don't think you can, you'd have to either search for the exact file name of whatever it is they've uploaded to the Storefront and go on from there (and possibly favorite them for easy picking later on), or cycle through your friends' lists and see if that person is up there.

...It's more of a hassle than it's worth.
 
Yeah, that's a pain alright. I was trying to find a set of factory replica rally stripes for the new Camaro a couple nights ago and I saw a post on Camaro5.com that a guy made some. Had no luck finding his particular ones, and ended up buying about four different vinyl groups until I found one that wasn't just straight stripes and that was actually spaced correctly.

Edit: Also, anyone on tonight? I'll be on shortly. Going to find something to snack on maybe...

I'm not sure... I'll check into that.

I will post the design names when I am in front of the Xbox. I believe they are labeled as "carbon fiber small"(for front/back or just a hood), and "carbon fiber"(for top and sides).

To make it easier, I will place "GTP" in the design tag. (tomorrow morning) So, you can just search for "GTP carbon" or something similar, and you should find it easily.

I will most likely put the "GTP" tag in all of my designs/vinyl groups, so as to make finding them much easier.




;)
 
That's a good idea. Maybe your gamertag too? That way we can at least find one item of yours and then get to your storefront.

Yes, both will be in the description, or just my gamertag. Whichever fits I suppose. I'll do some testing, and post what I decide on so everyone can locate them.



;)
 
I think the description field has a rather long limit, so fitting both or your username shouldn't be a problem unless you're long winded about the design.
 
Updating descriptions now.

EDIT: I've updated all the descriptions to include both "GTP" and "Esoterik1". Therefore, if you do a search for "GTP Carbon", or "Esoterik1 Livery", etc... you should have no problem finding my storefront.

I added a few pictures to the storefront, showcasing a few of the designs/vinyl groups. I also updated both of my current fantasy racing liveries. More to come soon....

To keep track, I have started a Storefront Thread:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=3650590#post3650590

I will post pictures later today, complete with titles, and descriptions.

Stay tuned...

So who else got a Halo Waypoint liveried Murcielago gifted to them today? I'm not seeing anything about it on the official site. It seems like I remember it being for something though. I do have VIP.

I didn't get one. Yet?
 
I got a Lambo Murcielago Halo gift car.

So a patch is due very soon. Not seen anyone post it yet.

The rest of us here at Turn 10 have been crunching away on our second title update that will hit an Xbox 360 near you later this evening. Besides what you see below we’ve also patched a few holes to maintain equilibrium in our online economy…something we take very seriously.

This new title update contains:

*
Fixes to all known glitches.
*
The addition of cockpit view driver shift animations.
*
Fixes for all known Time Trial and Leaderboard exploits/bugs.

I was about to, but you beat me to the punch..

In any case, they mention later this evening...yet I see no prompt for an update.
 
They're really adding cockpit animations? I didn't know they had planned to do it. That'll be nice to see.

I second that. I use cockpit view exclusively, so anything adding realism to that mode, gets a big thumbs up from me.

I'll have to wait till tomorrow to check out the rest of these fixes.

Sounds promising though...

It's nice that they're doing some plumbing work this close to the holidays, but... for the love of all things Holy, they should have done this back in the DEVELOPMENT STAGE. I'm so tired of being Micro$ofts unpaid beta tester.

They had BETTER be fixing the file handling. I'm sick of wasting literally several hours just sifting through photos and decals at the speed of a glacier.

I have not noticed this at all, yet I spend a good amount of time on The Storefront. Does this happen often?



;)
 
There was obviously some deadline to meet, and changing that animation for 400(?) cars is time that I would've rather had the game, playing it, thank you. Its not like it causes a problem. Its about as important as no reverse lights in GT.
 
Turn 10 said prior to release that they had a working shifting animation in place but the hands were clipping through the wheel and didn't have enough time to fix it for initial release.
 
So, there's a S692 McLaren F1 GT road car on the auction house, currently going for 3.5M credits...67 bids.
