bring back pikes peak!

I think you're a bit late in wanting Pikes Peak in GT4. Its been out for a while now, and its not in it.

 

[Danny]

Gah. My GT4 disc broke back in November and I haven't got round to getting a replacement yet.

NFS:U2 is a decent replacement though.

You've got to be kidding.

 

[BlueRoyal]

That sucks dude!

Mine froze and i thought that it broke
Then i'm like thank god it didn't!!lol

What car should i use in the first race in the american series

 

[masterofnone]

Two questions:

1) Is there a button or option or something that changes it (back?) from Best Lap to Total Time in the upper-right corner of your screen?

2) Just out of curiousity, in the 24 hour enduros, does it cycle through nighttime and back?

IMO, you shouldn't post again a "........", but anyway.....
1)I don't think so, that depends on the laps of the race you are in, e.g over 10 laps it turns into total time
2)No. It is always this evening-like time

im aware of that, but i can always dream... it'd be nice to see it in the next gen consoles though... i just wish it had been in GT4

I wasn't trying to post a "...", I just wasn't aware that mods checked first posts, so I entered the same post again thinking it lost the first one.

And thanks for the answers 👍

You're welcome
Anyway, correcting posts is not my job.

can someone tell me where i can find somethig about pictures and photos in post reply?sorry if this is not the good place for this question

[Danny]

If the picture you want to post is on the internet, right click it and press properties (or just 'copy link location if you're using firefox'). You should be finding something along the lines of www.example.com/examplepicture.jpg

Then, type

.

You should end up with a code that looks like

OR

Save the picture, and press 'upload' when you are replying to a post (normal reply, not quick reply) and upload it there.

 

[Serge.D]

thank you bullet.proof

 

[Loon]

You could upload your image to imageshack and it will give you the img code to post in forums.

 

[Serge.D]

thank you loon.

Hi....I try play GT4 multi LAN race with my friend. But in the LAN game i have problem with DFpro ( logitech wheel ). On finishing straight or some corners my wheel vibrate. In GT mode and arcade mode is evrithing OK. But in LAN game is Force Feedback is curious. Do you have same problems? Or I have some wrong setting in option in GT4? THX

 

[Richardrfo]

Quick question, just curious really.

I'm currently going 'round the test track seeing what the Ford GT '05 can do when fully kitted at 798bhp. I've found it'll do over 270mph and an average of about 248mph, which results in it covering a mile per 15 seconds. This resulted in the petrol tank emptying at 96 miles in about 17 minutes.

But the question is this: When reversing in it, you hit 30mph and then accelerate again, expecting to get either massive wheel spin or just to stop and accelerate away, correct? Well the GT isn't following suit. Instead it's jerking whilst still going backwards, keeping it's speed at about 30mph. Does anyone know why this is and has anyone else noticed it before?

 

[samj_13]

I've noticed it too. Some cars kind of sputter before the torque kicks in. Maybe your RPM's are too low for the power to come in when you're reversing?

 

[Richardrfo]

Now you've said that and I've thought about it, it has an original turbo fitted, so maybe it can't get to the power yet. The traction control is constantly flashing which could be and most likely is a contribution to it.

Ah well, have to see if anyone else has any ideas.

 

[samj_13]

TRACTION CONTROL. That's your problem! It's preventing the wheels from spinning freely, so the power is limited to prevent wheelspin. Try it again without it on and I guarantee that you'll get a nice little smoke show

 

[Richardrfo]

Well that leads me to questioning why it hasn't happened with other cars I've done it in? Is it to do with the power amount and the output of the power? Because cars with less and more haven't done it, this is my first encounter.

 

[samj_13]

Well, those cars more than likely have higher revs than the GT. The GT is notorious for it's low revs, and it's probably just a coincidence.

 

[BlueRoyal]

Those cars have lower revs and the F1 has higher revs because of its v10 engine

 

[Metar]

Umm... The Viper also has a V10. Does it go up to 18,000RPM? The FGT's engine goes up to 18,000RPM (more or less) because that's what real F1 engines do - they're made from the best, most lightweight and durable materials (with no regard to cost), which enables them to spin safely at higher speeds. Most roadcars won't surpass 8,000RPM, simply because that's the safe speeds where the engine stays reliable without too much stress (Famine, Scaff, anyone - correct me if I'm wrong. What is said here is only what I understood while reading things here). Therefore, the ancient Motorwagen only reaches 100RPM, and the '54 Corvette reaches around 4,000RPM, and 50 years later, the Honda S2000 touches 9,000RPM. Even racecars increased RPMs as the materials improved: The '62 Corvette Racecar reaches 8,000RPM (which must've made it very unreliable, considering it's a cast-iron block producing 500HP), the '93 Alfa 155 Touringcar reaches 12,000RPM (again - racecars mostly have better engines due to better materials, and less "required minimum survival-time"). Meanwhile (And this is the part which I'm primarily guessing), even modern JGTC racers and Touringcars don't rev up too much, probably again for reasons of race-regulations limiting engine developement or simple again - reliability.

Just an interesting observation. When driving the Toyota Triathlon car thingy on Seattle, stop on one of those steep hills. If you are moving downward, the wheels will stop and the car will come very close to stopping but it won't. Given enough time, the car will actually slide all the way down those hills. Has anyone ever noticed this?

You have too much time on your hands.

Given your location, have you been able to drive the GT4 Seattle circuit for real? How closer a match is it?

 

[Philly]

I haven't actually driven it for real. I have gone over it on google earth, and it looks pretty accurate. Some of the buildings are not there anymore (like the kingdome). I think I'll have to drive it sometime to see what the hills are really like.

 

[BlueRoyal]

Gingiba,
it's just the the viper goes up to 10000 rpm not like the F1

10,000RPM? That's quite a feat for an engine larger than 8 litres... Which I guess is not that true:

499hp/5600rpm

If peak power comes at 5600RPM, then the rev limiter would probably be set around 7,000RPM, not much higher...
