You know, GT350 is fun and all but I wonder when we'll see the return of the Camaro Z/28 a.

Let's hope it's a proper Z28 and not the prototype/F40 one that was in previous games as it and the Tranz Am from 82 are cars
I really want to see one day.
 
Been playing GT Sport over a 4G connection these last two weeks. It's been an eye opening experience and an almost universally horrible one.

The game will connect and I can browse lobbies and make full use of most the games features, however after I start and finish any activity I have to close and restart the game in order for it to reconnect, as it seems to time out.
The 'Save' feature has yet to record any mileage despite saying that it's saved the game every time I complete or do anything.
The game's connection will time out periodically and the only way to get it to reconnect is to close the app and relaunch it (this is unlike simply loosing a normal connection). This as you can imagine is tricky for league racing and/or lobbies. Often after an event has started I can either no longer connect to the lobby (and just sit at the lobby screen looking at everyone 'loading') or I'll have no liveries loaded (which is then often followed by a disconnect). Chatting in lobbies also doesn't work properly, no messages will work at all unless they are one of the few templates and include a player name.
Connection quality is also random. I joined a league race, completed a quali session without lag, then in the race my lag was so bad I was (according to everyone else) all over the place and then disconnected. However in another race and quali session (that combined lasted over an hour and a half) there wasn't a single connection issue.

When in the livery editor, in order to get decals to load you have to select and apply them within the first few minutes of loading into the editor, otherwise they simply won't ever load and the game will crash trying to load them.



I understand that GT Sport is an online game and that the offline content is massively handicapped, but even when being disconnected during an event or activity in GT Sport the game will simply tell you you've been disconnected and let you continue. However on a 4G connection you are left in a broken limbo where nothing properly works and nothing saves. You can just about get by but it looks a-lot less like a first party major racing game with FIA backing and more like a mod for AC.
It's kind of shocking just how poor the game operates over a 4G connection, the speed of my connection was good enough to play Starcraft 2 for example, and FPS's like CoD (with obvious lag spikes), but the fact the game barely functioned when operating menu's is another clear example of the messy and rushed state GT Sport still exists in. The content they are pushing out (for free) is commendable and impressive, but I wish they would just make the actual game stability and flexibility better.

I'm back on a fully fibre internet connection now, but I feel bad for the poor sods stuck with only 4G access wishing and trying to play one of the best current gen racing games.

People actually believe Kaz's future proof talk, as if the past taught them nothing.

On this subject there's definitely reason to take his word with caution. However, it would crazy to aim for quality higher than what we currently see on the super premium cars.

So what's up with the P1 GTR?

Does it have a power recovery system? Because Its top speed is lowered by 20mph in ssrx after a while.

Because it’s a hybrid, the batteries run out of charge/power after a while. Same thing happens to the LaFerrari. It loses around 15MPH after a few minutes. The NSX doesn’t run out of power because the electric motor is only used for acceleration...
 
Hey is anyone here struggle to get their star player thing to work?

I’ve filled it on 3 or 4 times last night and sent it and it says you will receive a no reply email from granturismo but I ain’t had nothing back?

Anyone else having similar issues?

I also have already been a star player before and had no problems getting it to work
 
Hey guys

Can anyone share a good top speed setup for SRT Tomahawk X? I've found some setups on YouTube, but neither of them seem to break the 600 km/h barrier, and i am quite sure the car can go a bit faster than that. Would very appreciate it

Using DS4 btw, so i can't put the flaps down
 
I think top speed is based on a few factors...

Drop suspension as low as possible

Use as little downforce as possible

Set your final drive so its just almost pinging the redline at maximum top speed.

That's it.

Downforce is not adjustible on Tomahawk X

Suspension tune is somewhat limited because car is already slammed to the lowest point when stock and you cannot adjust camber

So it mostly comes down to transmission setup, but the most i managed to squeeze out is around 610 km/h. Some guys reported reaching as high as 650 km/h

Its kind of amazing to me that PD actually examined how each hybrid system works and implemented it...

And talking about Hybrid Systems, I’m sad PD removed the Battery Charge icon that was in GT6. It was literally just a battery with 4/5 bars that was in the fuel gauge. It was pretty useful to see how much charge your electric motor had. As well as knowing when you are using power and when regenerative braking is charging the batteries.

Pretty sure most people don't use 4G to play their console online as unlimited 4G plans are hard to come by and the speed is not fast enough.

You means battery with 5 bars? I recall when I drove a few hybrid cars come with that around 1.20 or early version.

Oh, they scrimped that one as well. :lol::lol::lol:
 
I had to use mobile tether for a few days when my fixed line was down.

I seem to recall this was during the small 135Mb patch. I did that and drove 45km and it came out to about 200Mb.

It was no different to cable.

Of course if you're doing online then yeah... your data might blow out but I knew not to do unlimited activites on a metered plan.

I will leave this here from user @Aweoob

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/posts/12625236/

Appears an australian player found some interesting layout "Kyoto Miyabi"
Which looks alot like the GT Arena from GT6 but with some mad design..
Click to expand...
I tried to find it and failed. :P

Adam's on my friends list, so I should pepper him with questions.
But I'm sure someone here will find what he found soon enough.

I think it'll be in an article before too long :D

I spent ages.
Nearly walked the whole track in camera mode. :lol:

The most interesting thing I found was a menu inside the small round building.
Couldn't believe they had so much detail on something inside a building. :eek:

I'll look forward to the article. 👍
