GT 7 GEEZER CLUB

[nosoks]

Really Kaz? so this is what I gather from that little schpiel,, in other words - "GO **** yerself,, if you don't like it go get Asseta Corsa or buy yourself an XBox and play Forza."
I am not alone in my disappointment with how the game we've looked forward to for - how many years? - has this many 'issues' and seems almost amateurish. PD had it so right in GT5, GT6 we were given the Quick Matches that helped us earn credits to buy the car we had dreamed of,, and then there were changes to GTS and aa way to buy the cars and go immediately to a lobby and race. It brought some issues BUT eventually they got them ironed out. WHY ohh WHY does it seem all PD had learned in those previous games seems to have been tossed out the door and we're experiencing many of the issues we saw when G5 went LIVE? No, I will not go buy an XBox, NO, I will not play Assetta Corsa. I have been a fan, have owned and been a player of Gran Turismo since the first edition for the PS1 so I will continue playing GT7 thru all the pains PD will put us thru. I know these problems will be worked out BUT why could they have not had them worked out before they let the game out of their studios. It seems Kaz set a date and would not budge. Now we have unstable lobbys, cars glitching all over the track, no boost, the slip doesn't seem right, people who used to have no problems getting into the game now are plagued with so many issues they want to quit the game all together.

thats sad to read

I said out loud, this is just more garbage. And I’m referring to the guy that wrote that.

I play and drive and have my fun.

Don’t like what it is? Don’t play it.

I’ve spent plenty on vinyl albums, not all are worth the price. Guess what? One timers. I don’t cry about it to the band. Or etc.

2 things.

First, patch 1.09 is now live. But the servers are still down, so we’ll have to hope this isn’t a repeat of last week’s mess.

Second, PD have listened, and will be responding to the negative reaction to Gran Turismo 7. See the details below. Unfortunately there is no mention of fixing the lobbies!!

The tuning for this car is really strange, don’t know whether it’s a bug or what? Steve and I were in a party this morning getting our cars set up, and it was some chore. With various different parts combos, the ECU power adjuster acted very odd. At one point I was at 662 pp, at 90% power on the ECU. Dropped from 90 to 89, and the PP dropped 30 points to 632 pp! A one point reduction in the power slider resulted in a 30 point pp drop!! What the …..? Steve’s car did the same thing.

We finally hit on a parts combination and settings adjustment that netted 649.xx pp, but it was not easy.

all the cars are like that, it's a combination of parts and tuning. If you change the angle of the rear and front wing will change the PP some times less some more...

Perhaps, but a one point change in the power slider should not result in a 30 pp change. And the car in question doesn’t have adjustable aero, so you can’t even fine tune the pp with aero.

 

[coryclifford]

But it does. So there.

Got a new 44 magnum.

So, there.

Cory, STFU!

This is pretty amazing! Time lapse build of Leh Keen’s beautiful 911 GT3. 👍

I had that same problem with the Alfa Gr4 and the Supra 500, one point in the slider would change a lot in the PP, but that depend on the position of the slide. Some times when you are further up on the slide the difference is not so big, I think they will fix it, eventually

Where might one find this gem?

at the Brand Central under Europe, UK, radical

Thanks, I looked a little longer and found it.

 

[nordschleife51]

Yeah, the problem being when you are trying to hit a target pp and the slider should get you close, but it jumps 30 points, it’s just stupid. It’s almost as if the car said “I don’t want to be at 650 pp”.

 

[Luiz Frota]

these are the parts I got

 

[nordschleife51]

Luiz, yours has 275 hp, mine has 296 hp at 649 pp, I think Steve’s has 304 hp at 649 pp. Guess we will see if the pp actually means anything.

More…. Now to get to work.

 

[backmarker]

Hope you have a decent game to use that stuff with.

 

[pmallard]

yes, that's the idea

Just for kicks, I have RH tires and other additions with computer set to 71 to yield 649.xx PP. Horsepower was 270. Put SH tires on with computer set to 100 to give 642.91PP at 414HP.
Went to Daytona oval to test the two setting sheets.
RH tires 649.xxPP = 55.xx best lap
SH tires 642.xxPP = 48.xx best lap
Next test a road course.

 

[pmallard]

Hope you have a decent game to use that stuff with.

You're a cruel man.
