The setting changes only apply to arcade though?

What settings are you talking about? If you're talking about the AI then yeah, the settings only apply to arcade mode.

Is the fuel gauge on the Schulze GT-R working or was that my imagination running wild?

 

[JDMKING13]

Sadly Still no . .Can't they just run the code like they did in GT4 and allow us to change the rims.

Am I the only one who can't find the karts in Arcade mode? Everyone keeps saying scroll to the right. I'm either a retard or they aren't there for me.

Try a track without weather change. I dont think karts can be run on weather change tracks anymore
I had same prob with nurb. Switched to non change and viola karts were there.

Remember to look under 'Arcade only' cars.... (middle tab)
Not in your own favorite cars.

Oops...
Tree'd with other suggestions

I think that had something to do with it.

They showed up after I posted. Feel pretty dumb now. Carry on 👍

You never could run them at weather change tracks. All the times I tried (At least in Arcade), they were always crossed out.

Yeah, you could never run them on the weather change tracks offline. You can online though, I've done it before at Suzuka.

Is spec 2 good? I haven't downloaded it yet but I want to know if it's awesome!

It's ok, But I miss the old GT5 to be honest.

Interesting, what made the old GT5 missable?

Try enabling the new tire load graph and see if the problem is due to suspensions bottoming out.

Yea tried that cheers. Definitely not the problem, I tested with many variations including only positive ride heights (i.e. sambabus with 0mm front, +100mm rear - understeers like crazy)

Does anyone know if that new remix of 5OUL ON D!SPLAY will be available in mp3 form?

I'm not sure if this was discussed yet or not so excuse it if it was, but has anyone noticed the wait time on starting a race? You click the green flag to start it, but you have to wait for all the cars to load or queue up on the track.

I assume it's a compromise for now loading the tracks faster.

The game loads up the circuit much faster now, but still has some additional resources to load up in the background as you adjust your race settings and driving options

Can someone please tell me why they decided to jump from 1.13 to 2.00 with this patch? I'd say 1.20 would be more appropiate and it really makes me question their future ambition with this game.

I think it's for one reason and one reason only. Forza 4. Calling the update "Spec 2.0" draws more people in than 1.14 or 1.20. But I totally agree, there isn't enough content in this update to warrant the big jump in version number.

I think the game feels optimized enough to call it Spec 2.

Take this and then go back and play the original, unpatched GT5 and you will be shocked.
