Just picked up GT7 for the PS4 Pro, seems to be a real mixed bag.

• Was looking for a bug report page
• Bulgaria
• Back in 2007
• I use a controller gyro for GT7, but regular stick steering for other games
• BeamNG, some NFS titles, some F1 games, other random games with great management features
• hopefully not file more bug reports?

Hey folks I was a member about 10 years ago can’t remember any info so I’m starting new.
I was around a lot for gt5 on ps3. Now I’ve been playing gt7 on ps5 and want to get involved with the community again. I use a controller for now but want to save up for a nice wheel setup. I have the skeleton to my rig I had for gt5, bucket seat and a wheel stand but need to get a nice wheel.
I’m from the US, outside of Boston. Now that I’m pushing 40 I like playing more simulator games I can’t get into shooters anymore so I play drivers and flying games. Some role playing. The reason I came looking around the forums is I want to find good jump off points for suspension tuning for daily racing, I could always adjust and get better but needed something that got me in the right direction to start.

Hi!

I'm Frederic and I'm 39. I played GT1, 2 and 3 before having a massive break from video games. I returned during the pandemic and lockdowns. I'm a Daily Race A enthusiast as I love its diversity compared to always racing the same Gr4/3 cars - which doesn't do it for me. I'm here to look for people who might have the same interest and race together in lobbies. Also, I'm interested in making offline custom races more interesting, in the way the Clubman Plus races are.

Welcome, I also ordered gt7 online at Amazon, it was on sale for $49.99, ten dollars off. I was relieved when it came, been playing it since Halloween. I am a PS Premium member, what is your PSN username, maybe we can do some lobby races in the near future.

Hi there guys it’s chowder- I found GTPlanet while browsing looking for a GT7 forum to complain about wheel settings on the official website

-I’m from the United States, California

-I started playing racing games ever since I was young around 7 or 8yrs old but I got into SIM Racing about 3 Months ago

-I play with a steering wheel and it’s the Thrustmaster T-248

- I often play apex, rocket league, and COD with the right group

- I’m looking for racing friends and help with setting with games if needed as well looking for people to upgrade my SIM build with

 

[twincarb1275]

Hi Darryl here, first time Race sim user after years of owning a Historic race Car.

Google was my friend in looking for starter settings for playing GT7 on a fanatec GT DD setup ( here on GT planet)

My best decision so far was to buy a sim chassis basically already assembled - 7 hours scrabbling around on the floor with allen keys avoided.

Cheers .

 

[Gintonyx]

Hi I’m Gin from Germany

I have been playing racing games since 1999, or maybe earlier, I forget. First racing game I remember was Sportscar GT.
I play on Controller and I haven’t adapted manual shifting yet.

Why I’m here: I absolutely dislike GT7’s BoP because my favorite cars don’t have a chance to win anywhere despite the BoP. So I am looking for a gr.3 racing series that races the same car for everyone like a manufacturers’ cup or something like that, ideally where tuning is allowed.

I want the car to suit me and not adapt to a car thats just basically tuned.

I was looking for advice for a certain race in GT7 and found the site that way.
England.
Back in 2001/2002, I started with some old rally game that I can't actually remember the official title of!
Not for this game, no.
Too many to list honestly but my top 5 are Minecraft, No Man's Sky, Death Stranding, Fallout New Vegas, Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Learning more about car tuning and getting different setups correct for different events.

 

[BeerRun]

Hi Everyone

I've once again decided to go back to playing video games since life is allowing time. I came across GTPlanet from playing GT7 on my PS5 and looking for info on the game and online races. I just got the Logi 923-wheel last week which brings back old memories of my old MOMO wheel from running NASCAR 3 back in the day, BTW I'm 62. I'm still in the process of unlocking the cars and tracks. I hope to see you all soon, on the Track in my rear-view mirror.

Amazing posts that i've read, welcome to GT Planet everyone! Hope you find it fun and stay indefinitely,
