I have a PWTS. After the 3.66 update gt5 can't recognise the wheel for the first 2 minutes. It is really strange. I saved the last championship before Monza race with my Minolta. Gt5 resume the race at start and can't recognise FF, throttle,brake,clutch. The gear slip away and the throttle doesn't work. First i think a wheel failure. Exit the championship (Argh) i went to' Arcade mode. After new calibration (at the startup of the wheel) and restart the race all works fine. I restart the ps3 10 times and every single time the same story. Now for me is impossible to do a championship(i can't restart the race!). It seems like forza 3 need of restart the PWTS before the first race after the startup to' calibrate the pedals and gearstick. Sorry for my poor english.

Maybe you forget to switch your wheel in the ps3 mode? It works in the game menu but not in the race... Simple but it happened to me a few times :)
 
No. It happened to' me many times. But now is different. Every boot up
i had to' restart the race few times. I had to' press the trotthle only after start screen. If i press during the starting gt5 don't recognise the wheel. After the first "recognization" (sorry for my bad english) it works perfectly.
 
Let me just talk about some of the tracks of GT5 for this general post.

• I am getting better with some of the newer tracks. Circuito de Madrid was a track I called in the past as a faster Opera Paris. I perosnally love the city of Madrid. Racing on this course is very nice. To me, it seems a bit more like a touring car track than something to put really fast cars around. I do enjoy racing here.

• While I miss the old Rome Circuit, I am getting more adjusted to the newer Rome Circuit. I have actually noticed that some of the roads of the classic Rome Circuit remain intact. I will say that the newer Rome Circuit is more interesting in that it has a lot more elevation changes than the old Rome Circuit. However, the classic Rome Circuit feels more like a proper Grand Prix-type course than this newer one.

• All of the Cape Ring courses are crazy! They are fun to race, though.

• I'm getting better with Daytona's road course. The first turn heading into the infield usually catches me out quite often. Most of the rest of the course is a bit natural to me in learning.


I am getting better and more adjusted to the newer courses, but I REALLY wish I could be better doing the courses in Sebastien Loeb challenges. I cleared the Toscana one, but the other two are tough courses. I am still trying to get adjusted to Daytona doing the final event of the Jeff Gordon NASCAR School event (2 laps at Daytona). Still enjoying my GT5 experience!
 
It's good to see you finally playing GT5 JohnBM01. I remember reading quite a lot of your posts in the GT4 days, and always liked what you had to say:tup:

I can't stand Madrid though :yuck:
 
Just a few minutes ago, I made personal history- I made my first-ever 10K+ Sector-Based Drift Trial run! It was at Eiger Nordwand Short Track using the Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo. It wasn't pretty or perfect, but I got just enough points to surpass the 10,000+ point mark. Good enough to net me the "Dream Drifter" trophy. I am in no way a drift veteran of GT. I attribute this victory to GT5's great driving model and a bit of luck. Maybe I was so used to Eiger Nordwand because that was the track in Gran Turismo HD where you did your drifting action. Best I could manage from that was about 5.3K points in a Lancer.

But... I've finally beat the 10K mark, though I'm sure many others can do 10K+ easily on almost any track. It's just a win for me to finally break into the five-figure drift point mark on any track.
 
believe it or not it was based on your B-spec. So my grandma could have had a chance to be in it, since the AI does whatever it wants to do.[/QUOTE]

LOL:tup:
 
I have started to look at Open Lobbies in GT5 with all kinds of online races. I've overheard conversations in voice chat along with seeing rides many other GT gamers have used. I have even inexplicably joined one race out of curiosity... and got my a$$ handed to. One dope even drove backwards just to whack me head-on. Also, I've never seen my car (or any other) so beaten up and dirtied through racing than when I see these online events. It goes to show you that... people care more about wrecking than racing. Likewise, I have even noticed some of the glitches of online racing.

Online is a new experience for me both in watching and competing. Never know what you'll find online!
 
Guys, I recently came across a possibly not detected till now bug of GT5 which I don't really know if last patch made it or existed before. When I saved 80 replays, whenever I needed to save a new replay, GT5 became unresponsive. So, I needed to quit GT5 to restart because PS3 was working normally. When i deleted 3-4 replays, everything was OK. Maybe my HDD is the problem, but it is not even full at 70%.
 
I just reached Level 30 in GT5- meaning that you can check out the Red Bull X2010. My God... that car is [multiple expletives] FAST!!! I only care about getting Bronze at this point as I have yet to clear a single challenge with the Red Bull. I am somewhat getting the hang of how this car handles. But for now, that car is a damned beast! I realize I could have easily gotten that "111 Meters a Second" trophy by simply racing this car down a backstretch rather than tricking out a Veyron to race on Circuit de la Sarthe (without chicanes) or on Special Stage Route 7.

This car is freaking fast and freaking insane. Even my PSN comment says it best: "X2010 = INSANE!!!" I have not finished one run yet, and I intentionally crashed on one because I wasn't going to finish for Bronze.
 
Hey so i was thinking about something today after leaving the local road course and i was thinking what if GT6 came out on the ps4 and it could support up to 65 players in one room. Where you can share your tunes ,livery, and trade cars all from that one room and even take place in multiple different races going on at once..

This should kinda be game play integrated into the game without turning it into a complete ( C SPEC) mode. If you know what i mean...

65 players in one room doesn't do that much good, Le Mans has ~55 grid spots and it's one of the biggest tracks (Nurburgring could/can/does handle a few hundred but that's a nightmare no matter which way you look at it).

And having the room hold all the players but splitting them up into different races isn't that appealing I think. Unless it's closer to a lobby than a room, say the GTPlanet lobby would have some races going on, and even then it'd only be worth it if the other people could pop in and walk photo-mode style around the track while the race is going on.

But that would need a significant server management upgrade; probably it'd be only possible with true dedicated servers.
 
Earlier tonight, I cleared the Sebastien Vettel X Challenge. My goodness... that Red Bull X2010 scares the heck out of me. That thing is like an F1 car, a sportscar racing prototype, and a MotoGP World Championship motorcycle all in one. You have to learn on the fly with this machine because it's too easy to make a mistake with the X2010. And considering that your reaction time has to be double of an F1 racer's reaction time, you'll have your heart rate doubled or tripled trying to properly race this thing. I still think the X2010 is a WipEout ship with four wheels and without weapons. Just an insane car. I didn't care about Gold- I just wanted to survive this Special Event. Sadly enough, I didn't get to clear any of the three challenges until I started doing better with Monza. I'm MUCH better at Monza than I am at the Nürburgring GP track. Boom. Got Bronze at Monza. STILL struggled with the Nürburgring GP course. And after three completed runs, I decided to go to Suzuka. I qualified for the win in my second completed session around Suzuka though Suzuka is VERY tough. Then at long last, cleared the Nürburgring. End result = enjoy your new X2010, John!


What an insane car this is!

Define weapon.

A while back I was pushing some guy to help him hit 450+ in his Holden Commodore. Then some fool thought it would be funny to drive the wrong way around SSR7.

Of course, the X1 stopped in an instant when I saw the other car on the map. From what I can tell, the Commodore locked one of the rears almost immediately and shot off sideways into what I later found out was a Midget II. Both then flew off still at ~300 and slid down the road for a while.
 
I am in a bit of a pickle here. I am going to try to save up money and do a lot of racing to get the Ferrari 330 P4 for the Historic Racing Cup. My '69 Camaro is NOT going to be enough for this championship. Also, I bought both a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP and an Audi R10 TDI for the Gran Turismo World Championship, thinking I was going to need those like in the GT4's GTWC. Used the Peugeot and won all five races. Now, I do GT All-Stars with the 908 HDi FAP and the R10 TDI at Tokyo R246 as a tune-up race... and I get my ass handed to. I then got enough money to get the 787B. I was able to compete, but failed to go for the lead. Ended up 3rd (goes to show you the difference between today's prototypes and Group C cars). I want to do this fairly, so I don't want to whip out my Red Bull X2010 to win every race by three hours.

The only other alternative for me is to hope the Online Dealership or Used Car Dealership has some of the better race cars (new and old). The only available machine I COULD use for the Historic Racing Cup that's available to me at present would be the Lancia Stratos Rally Car. But nine times out of ten in circuit racing, a rally car will always lose to a prototype or really powerful GT car unless the other drivers are dopes.

The most I've ever had is 5 million credits. So unless I get a certain ticket or something, I'll be sure to save up money to get a Ferrari 330 P4 or some other fast classic race car for the HRC (Historic Racing Cup). I do eventually want that 330 P4 for the whole PSN Trophy deal about the three-way dream race.


By the way... is it just me, do you wish the Online Dealership offered Premium cars as well, rather than just Standard cars?

I want that PSN trophy too but 20mil is too much to justify. You can easily win the historic race with a tuned toyota 7. The hardest race is Monaco..

oh and half off premiums would be awesome!
 
You know, I just remembered something... if you have friends who play GT5, you can BORROW cars to help you out. I just realized this. I borrowed the Ferrari 330 P4 from a friend and about to race with it. See why it's cool to have friends? :)

I'm going to start sharing certain cars I'm not using but don't want to sell.

Well hats off to you, for I have yet to clear the X1 Challenge. I have Monza beat, but I am still way off from the Nurburgring and Suzuka.
 
Well, I won the first event using the Ferrari 330 P4 I borrowed from a friend. I am always scared racing older cars on the limit because they can be fragile to push to their total limits. That said, I had to hustle like heck to win at Deep Forest, but I was able to do it even with a Chaparral (Texas' own!) 2J on my tail. Then at Cote d'Azur, I tried my best to chase down the Chaparral 2J there, but that car was too much for me at Monaco. It led by 14 seconds. For a track as slow as Cote d'Azur, 14 seconds is an eternity. That's when I knew I was going to need the 2J or the Toyota 7. You had to be damned good in GT4 to get the Toyota 7 by doing those Driving Missions, so I can only hope to raise money and hope any Used Car Dealer has either the 2J or 7.

I won the "Dream Race" trophy simply by winning a race when matched up with all those rival cars (Ferrari 330 P4, Ford GT Mark IV, and Jaguar XJ13 Race Car) on the same track in the Historic Racing Cup. I always thought I had to compete in some online race where only those three cars were allowed. And if it was the case with my race at Deep Forest, then I won in not-even-close fashion. The GT40 Mk. IV and XJ13 were in the lower half of the 12-car field when I finished.

And by the way... I test-drove both the 330 P4 and GT40 Mk. IV at Cote d'Azur, losing three times (forfeiting; forfeited twice with the 330 P4 as the lead car was too far ahead).
 
Nice writeup as always JohnBM01! I can't wait to test all those legendary racing machines. I managed to trade and get the Ferrari when it was possible in the past. Raising funds at the moment to buy those others from the golden era.

I cleared the Historic Racing Cup after a friend let me borrow his Toyota 7. I never got to experience this car in GT4 (because I never cleared the Driving Missions where you can unlock the car), so it was welcome to race the Toyota 7 and get a feel for its power. I won by about three seconds at Cote d'Azur. NEVER have I led at Cote d'Azur with the Historic Racing Car Cup until when I used the Toyota 7.

I then took on another Tune-Up race with the Gran Turismo All-Stars. This time, at Trial Mountain. I placed second. Out of desperation, I intentionally cut the chicane leading to the Start/Finish line and barely passed the leading (as in 2nd Place) Courage C60 for second. My mind is made up- either mod the hell out of my 787B or get one of those Courage prototypes (and mod that up) to have ANY chance of clearing GT All Stars so I can finally start working on the Extreme Series.
 
Does PD not have the license to include tracks such as Spa and Bathurst? There's evidence to show that they studied Spa in the past so...why not include these great tracks?? They're so awesome, fun and popular. Bizzare :(
 
Yeah there were some rumors that they have collected the data for SPA. Also Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG competition is on RB track in Asutria so hopefully that track will be there in next game as well as Silverstone where GT Academy took place.

They need to have more new tracks, city and redo GT4 tracks. Course editor will also be expanded I think.

Yeah! That's another iconic track that's sadly missing.
