Gran Turismo 4 Modding Discussion

As good as the spec ll mod is, i just dont think gt4 does it for me sadly,
The game just feel a bit outdated at this point,
Wish we could have this career mode and progression for gt7.

Driving with a controller on psx2 emulator is not good, its almost undrivable at times witch sadly put me off a bit.

I felt the same with GT3 and GT4 because of the weird input lag they have on controller (even remember this from original hardware) which makes catching slides almost impossible, ended up setting the input to a Driving Force instead and you get much more responsive inputs which makes everything a lot more controllable. Set smoothing to 5% and you can put damping on low if it's too twitchy. Put the steering assist ingame on amateur and you then don't scrub the tyres much either. I agree some of the race cars don't feel that great but the road cars, especially the slower softer stuff often feels really good to drive to me.

They slower stuff can work, but its far from good in my opinion, controller just is not that great, gt7 is much easier to drive on a controller, smooth inputs just dosen’t work in psx2 on gt4,

Have not tried with a wheel, but their no way i want to set up a wheel every time i wants to play. Gt4 was never like that for me, it was basicly plug and play, witch is just not the case using psx2,

This is however not to take away from the amazing work going thats been made in this mod to improve the gt4 experince,

I just did not enjoy as much as i thought i did,
Maybe the newer gt titles has spoiled me with superior driving physics, sounds, more in depth tuning/upgrading and customize options,

Would it be possible to force the rearview mirror to appear when using hood and roof cameras too?

Not yet, tried before but it needs more research to work properly. Might also be best done as a PCSX2 cheat depending on how it works.
