yesyesyesyesyes!:D:tup: Proper hood view, instead of that annoying fish-eye-lens roof view!(That will be most useful with those certain 80% of the cars)
But wait, didn't Amar say there wasn't hood view and "that's final"???
Can someone with the game check at least 10 premium and 10 standard cars, so we can determine what's the deal with those camera views please?

It depends on the car... PD included mostly Roof views to the cars and some cars have the Hood view for some reason... that shows PD is able to add a proper hood view but haven't done it on all cars..
 
Quick question regarding standard cars.As they dont have working lights or wipers are they able to be used on wet tracks or with day/night cycle tracks?Or have i totally misunderstood something.lol
I`ve done a quick search but not got any where!

ammm ok, so how many cars have a proper hood view, and which cars are those? It's worth investigating.
p.s. I realize It was easier to just keep the old views, because finding perfect hood camera position for over a thousand cars is a lot of extra work, but still, 80% of those don't have a cockpit, so I feel it would be pretty lazy and irresponsible not to. IMO That crappy roof cam is good for replay and that's it.

What Owen said. Look through the whole video.

standards have working lights, they don´t need wipers, since there´s no cockpit view.
you can use standards on wet tracks with day/night cycle.

The thing standard cars don't have is low-high beam lights setting. They have a standard light beam. They have moving wipers but you don't really need it as you cannot drive from the driver's seat.
 
Man I hope all standards have that view. It would make the no interior thing a minor blip. Honetly I would rather use that view than bumber or interior.
 
I notice something in this video, at 2:54-3:00

The gear is in 6th but the hand moves to the paddle to change up (No 7th gear in this car) :ill:


I think it was because the driver was getting close to the turn.So he was going to downshift then upshift real fast.

I've noticed this in Prologue too,when in cockpit view,but it's nothing to worry about.👍
 
I am only lvl 15, maybe it's just looks until the extreme events ? Extreme are open at 20, but progress above 15 is pretty slow ... working on it.

In my last race I crashed really hard and I did not roll over, BUT I nearly FRONT-FLIPPED ! That was unexpected. Rear wheels where half car height over the ground, the front wheels where on the ground. Bumper had a severe dent and was hanging off on 1 side.

Still does not feel that the car performance is linked to damage (maybe above pro league) ... stay tuned ...
 
Hi gtp users, I have a really important question, some of my team mates are G27 users, they are worried about some rumors saying G27 f1 style gears will not work in GT5 :ouch: I've heard G27 cluch is ok, anybody know sometnhing about the pads behind the wheel?

Thanks in advance! 👍

I think I did clarify that like 10 times already, search function is your friend.
Yes paddels work, Yes you need to activate clutch the same way as in GT5P. When the race starts press the upper black button.
Shift lights work, H-Shifter works. At least 2 of the "on-wheel" buttons work.
Top Left - Rear View, Top Right - Lights on/off.
Still did not find a horn button, or all my cars don't have horns ...

I agree about mechanical damage only for Pro Level, or: when unlocked you have the option to decide yourself for every event.
 
I have to work for the first 5 days GT is out. Does anyone know how to get an illness serious enough to get atleast 3 days off, a doctors certificate, and still let me be well enough to play GT5? I was thinking of self inflicted injury, but need all my limbs for the wheel, so thats a no go. A migrane was a good option because there arnt any visable signs for a doctor to call BS, but that will only get me one day max. Any ideas?
 
On another note, don't know if anybody said something about B-Spec yet, so here goes ...

It takes quite a while to get B-Spec Bob to behave halfway decent in races. But with 4-6 tries my Bob did sunday cup just fine.

If there are really more drivers than just the 1 guy needed for Endurace Races it will take quite a while to get 3-4 drivers on lvl 20 for Extreme Series (which I hope has the endurance events in em.

The B-Spec system is a little diffrent from GT4. You can't set BoB to a specific pace. You can give him "commands" that last like 20 seconds (little progress bar going down), in that time you can't issue another command until the last one "set in".

He has a "mood bar" in the middle. When he is fighting is goes all the way up to "hot". You need to tell him early to decrease pace to catch the up-trend on the bar before it hits the top (e.g. right side). When it's all the way in the red, BoB will make lots of mistakes. When he has nobody to fight with the bar will automaticly start to drop (BoB is bored :) ) then you need to issue 1-3 "increase pace" commands to get the bar in the middle again. Middle seems to be optimal. Below mid point BoB will short shift and just chill down the track. If it gets really low he is not full throtteling but just using like 80-90% accel of the car (good for endurance I guess ...)

The pysical strength bar seems to drop all the time beginning at the start of the race. If BoB needs to fight, it drops faster. If he is "hot" or recovering from mistakes it drops faster. If BoB is on the cool side of the mood bar, it drops less rapidly.

The mental strength bar seems always full, and not drop at all (maybe only if the race is long enough, my BoB can only do lvl 3 events, like sunday cup)

Something funny: If you issue a command every time the cooldown is gone for like 20-30 commands BoB will get annoyed and go on the "hot" side of the mood bar, even if you tell him to slow down :)

Bob's opponents can be fun too. On 3 races BoB had to face a Mini Cooper with a driver named H.Hornet. That guy was always aggresive but also did not hit corners good. He would tackle bob often but always go off track when there was a more complex turn. Another one D.Massa always seems to stick back and really conserve tires (I guess he is one to watch out for in the longer races)

I did like B-Spec in GT4, and I really like the new version too :) What I did not find yet was an option to speed up time ... but it's sunday today, so BoB will do some rounds until I have recovered from yesterday.
