Midnight Club LA

[JonesyGT246]

Hopefully with the free update coming next year (which will add a rather large 1/3 extra on the original map) will have more varied terrain. But it has to be based on real LA so it might be even more city!



I think it would be way better if we could all cruise together, lot more fun seeing as the game allows for so many people in one go. If the EURO/UK guys raced in the morning (10AM) it would be evening in ASIA/AUS (9PM)... yes theres a massive 11 hours time difference but hey ho!

Robin.

I'm in the US, which would mean early morning here. I don't mind playing at 1:00 am MDT but 3:00 am is a little too early. But if I must, then I must. If I do, I'll bring either the Camaro Concept or the DUB edition.

 

[Dragonistic]

Add me in guys, I will be in one of the Ford's. I played online for the first time the other night and got team up on!

are you guys using your GTP PSN or your normal PSN login I noticed some of you guys have both? I have yet to create a GTP login for PSN. I will send out a friends request based on what you have listed under your avatars. Thanks Guys.

I use my normal one for LA Only use my GTP_ name for GT5P for friends list reasons.

Not really, I don't use brakes at all in races unless it's over a 90 degree corner.

I dont use them, if it is a tight corner, let off the accelerator and slide fora bit then gun it to pull out. Works a charm.

If that is 9pm melbourne time that is fine but ugh, 9pm for me is not good, cant go.

Same, I have all my saves and things hooked to my normal one.

The again updated list is as follows,

Me - 70' Challenger
Dragonistic - Firebird
Legendary - 69' Camaro
Jonesy - Camaro Concept (or DUB version)
Christhedude - Audi RS4
Robin. - 69' Camaro
Paulie - 69' Camaro (Hopefully)
jswilli1 - Ford Boss 302?


I think that should be it, now we need to set up the proper times and such. Since it's going to be the morning for the UK/US, I think it'll need to be the weekend, unless none of you guys are busy.

 

[Dragonistic]

I'm signing my friend up to, MODNAR1 - 96 Impala (home-made police car)

So now we have a police escort to

 

[Legendary]

MODNAR loves being a cop doesnt he? GTA aswell...

Times are really up in the air at the moment, nothings decided, anyone feel free to recommend a time.

Robin.

 

[Legendary]

An hour earlier would be good.

 

[Dragonistic]

I can usually do anything between 11AM to 3AM the next morning GMT That is if we do it this week, or any Friday or Saturday after this week.

I while ago I traded my 240sx for a mitsubishi eclipse. Wasn't much of a difference but I like it. I noticed something about this game aswell. When you crash and it reparis your car WITHOUT going to the garage it will give you spare parts. If you lose the part eg a door, it will replace it with a black one I think. On my camaro I had flame vinyl down the side of the car and when I looked at the next race both the doors had no vinyl. Then later, on my white eclipse the bonnet and front bumper were black like on the 240sx at the start of the game. It was pretty cool, all fixed at the garage though.

 

[McLaren]

Yeah, that'll happen a lot in the tournaments.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Well my bike idea didn't work out that well. I couldn't stop crashing, but other than that it was good.

I beat the Challenger tournament pretty easily with a stock Scirocco and full NOS. This will replace that Camaro DUB I lost.

 

[Paulie]

I'm gonna earn some cash from random street racers to unlock the paint shop without really losing any money. I need my Camaro to look nicer......

 

[Christhedude]

ok everyone, now that we got a nice list of cruisers, when do we start? I'm in the middle east, +4 hours GMT so anytime is fine for me.
I took my RS4 for a cruise last night and it was real nice, there was another driver in a camaro 69 cruising with me. was fun.

Also looking forward to the update coming!

Chris

 

[Turbo Lag]

I'm not sure of what time it will be, I think I'll leave that to you guys

 

[Paulie]

Well let me know when you decide. By the way what's the point of cruising? It seems rather empty if you know what I mean.

 

[Dragonistic]

Sorry if im not very sociable on LA right now, i need these now 539 miles and then i bag myself an R8. A very lonely 539 miles at over 200mph (corners included) on the highway using the Ninja.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

I'm at 11%-ish. Just did the "wreck customers" mission, which was fun.

Couple of things:
- every so often I lose all the in-car sound, no engine, no ability notification, and no police scanner Anyone else get this? And any tips on fixing it?
- If I brake hard, it quite often sets off the NOS. I'm sure I'm not accidentally pressing R3. Is this just me?

Otherwise, I'm loving the game. It's a perfect antidote to the precision of GT5P.

Happens to me aswell, I just restart the race (unless it's a tourney...). I had some fun with Paulie and Dragonistic tonight. Paulie attempted to own me at flags. No.

1) I used to lose sound when i started the game, it hasn't happened in a long time, only fix i found was restarting the game (not entire ps3)
2) It is probably you hitting R3, change your button config using the custom settings, to move it more out the way.

Your cars are still too fast, one mistake and I couldn't catch you.

Simply restarting the race also works for me.

 

[Dragonistic]

Simply restarting the race also works for me.

It never worked for me, it was very annoying.

In other news

I has R8

 

[Paulie]

That license thing annoys me. After our online cruise earlier in which I did a LOT of jumps in the spillway area I was up to 190m jump distance. Then in career I did some more jumps whilst racing/driving and it's still 190m.

According to social club I am 21% through ze game. Now I have some more questions. I just won the Eclipse from the time trial (which was damn hard to beat my own beaten time ), is it possible to win more cars from doing more time trials with that same guy now they're not part of the career any more? The tournaments that are normally run out of carparks, do they ever disappear or are they there to stay?

Edit: I can't wait to get 100% so I can start modifying cars, but tomorrow is back to TOP SECRET GT5 stuff. I also tried the first delivery mission in the Saleen S7, that's IMPOSSIBLE! A near perfect run and I'm still some 10sec too late.

The social club doesnt update right away, give it time.

I can't remember the TT thing, you can win cars when its one of your objective but im not sure about otherwise. Set slow times just beating the required to make it easier for you. I managed the S7 delivery just fine first shot, it is hard but you're not used to cars that fast I'd imagine, leave the deliveries til later or do easy for the objective.

I can't remember about car parks either, I think they stay as series races yes.

And finally.

 

[Paulie]

Because I haven't bought any vinyl access yet, I have another question. If I wanted say, the TLD logo, as a vinyl, is there any way to download it off the net onto the game?

you mean take any random image and make a vinyl out of it like say me using a photo of myself? I don't think so.

Change the controls. The first thing I did was make the triggers for driving...

The deliveries aren't that important anyway. I personally didn't find the Saleen one too difficult, it's all about finding the right route.
