GT5 Time Trial Demo Discoveries

[juniordee]

Discuss all your new discoveries here!

I'll start: I noticed that when racing the stock 370z with the wheel, TCS was automatically turned off even though it should be on 7 and you can't adjust it. Some users using the pad claim it is turned on and can't adjust it.

YUP i spun out like 4 times in the first half of the circuit LOL
a little easier with the tuned version managed to get a 1:40 lap

The parking brake can be locked, just like GTPSP.

I reset the wheel twice. One time in game and once out of the game. The TCS is still set at 7.

@ scandisk

ROFL

@ emotionap

can you change it ingame with the dial thing?

I know but when you race, does it feel like TCS is on, you should still be able to spin your wheels like it's off, and get no red throttle limiter.

Pad users get the red throttle limiter just like when you have TCS in prologue, and they can't even spin the wheels a bit. The throttle gets cut off.

I might as well post again...Replays have no tire smoke, but this 'demo' wasn't meant for smoke.... It's a discovery after all.

no smartass comments in this thread please

DISCOVERIES ONLY

According to my friend Mad94d, painted cement actually has less grip than the bitumen, something GT has never simulated before. (I haven't got it myself yet, another hour apparently).

 

[GT5-KY-PD-SONY]

I discovered that the trees are a cross with textures. very simple and not quite the standards PD have set for themselves.. i kno ikno its only a time trial and will hopefully be fixed in gt5

 

[gtsomething]

I discovered the pit lane is pretty bumpy... it's true...

Yeah, I was wondering myself why that surface was so slippery. I can start a burnout in 4th gear with the stock 370z on there.

Hah, I wanted to test if you get penalised for going into the yellow stripes..... that was a mistake

Mr. "I'm on top of the leader boards"?

Just kidding. Damn I wish I had a wheel.

 

[emotionap1]

I just reset the wheel and traction control is off now but still says 7, wtf... Dial for the DFGT also isn't working.

I wish I had a G25...

i never said you were a smartass we were posting in the impressions thread and this guy was loosing it so we made this thread LOL

Yeah it's probably a glitch...a glitch I enjoy for once

 

[gtsomething]

Yeaaaaaaah.. lol, I quickly edited my post. Mah bad <3

This same guy pmed me like 3 times complaining, so I just made this thread instead of starting a fight.

Yeah same here. I went out there flat out to see if you could take it without getting done for cheating. Nup, straight into the wall.

I think you've shown us it doesn't take a wheel to get top times. I discovered that you can push the braking point boxes through the wall and they dissapear.

Oh and they also make good objects to do donuts around. I'm gonna try to set up a slalom with them.

 

[emotionap1]

Also, anyone notice the tire squel changes before and after you get onto the yellow lines...

 

[snoopybg]

Discovery: the g25 still isn't supported as an option to configure.
Great! The best driving game doesn't support the best wheels. Or now you're gonna say this demo isn't for driving either. So far it's not for so many things.

I've discovered a few cars I recognize on the back stretch where there's a whole bunch of them parked.

Mitsubishi FTO
Cadillac Escalade
Mazda6 (new version)

And some wagon that I can't make out.

 

[gtsomething]

It's funny, cause it just says "Logitech Wheels" as the title for the wheel options..

Wow seriously? That's cool.
