New TT & DT #28

Bold = pretty much.

We have a multi-quote feature here and people are expected to use it. It's really not that difficult.

OK. Yes, it isn't that difficult. You are not too polite also, but I don't care. You must have your problems, maybe a bad day. Hope you get better.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh that was polite, believe me.

Where has everyone found the NSX-R LM prototype? Only a few people used it on the Spa TT, but here on the Rome circuit, lots of people are using it.

How many times would I have to cycle the UCD to find it?

 

[Timppaq]

Well, sorry. Why exactly is that? To keep the thread better organized? Well, I personally don't really think it makes any difference... But if most people think otherwise, or if it is a sort of unwritten rule or something, then I really apologize and can start to do that. Just, I write in several other forums (about different subjects, other than GT5) and had never heard that this "double posting" could be a problem... Anyway, OK.

Because it's not wanted here (the double posting) that's why. You might also want to read the aup, the one you agreed with when joining.

It's just for the common benefit.

I have one up for share if you want to borrow mine. Add me Obsidian-2.

Toyota 86, 2 laps to gold with a DS3. I have a wheel and usually use that but I thought I'd try it with the controller as people were talking about it. My Tips -
Break early
Be as smooth as you can
Try to get as little wheel spin as possible out of the corners. You could even switch on the TC to help with this.
Essentially don't overload the tires. Don't expect too much of them. Work with the grip you have.

I do prefer the wheel and find it faster but I think most things can be done with the controller.

Borrowed one from a friend...Didn't have it either. Your best bet is just to friend someone who already has the car and go from there.

I made a little history tonight! For the first time, I ran a Seasonal using a steering wheel. And also... I bettered my original lap time. The difference wasn't by much, though. I had a 1:14.196 in my original run around the Tsukuba event. My steering wheel experience has lent me a best lap time of 1:14.068. So I improved my lap time by a full tenth. I never realized just how unstable my car was until I took a few rounds around Tsukuba. The first and final corners will really determine if you score a great lap or have to try again. My real challenge was trying to keep the car stable powering out of corners.

So there's my history- first time running any Seasonal event with a steering wheel, and also bettering my lap time in a Time Trial Seasonal using a steering wheel. I may try to better my Rome Reverse time as well. However, I am very nervous trying to do that one. My confidence is building with a wheel, though. Maybe I can do better than the 1:16.047 I pulled in my first run around Rome Reverse...

its an awful car to drift, it has no power and no finesse and is not consistent, it struggles to keep speed and sideways momentum in 4th making it a rubbish drift car. These are the events i want to play (drift) and now they have ruined them. I use Holdens and other large capacity instant torque cars to drift and rarely the speed12 if you were wondering and am a consistent top 500 finisher. Very disappointed this week not playing until i get over it. Scored 14,500 and it was not repeatable even though I am experienced with this track.

Rome - NSX LM
Shaved a bit more time down to 1:09.850...Now in that laptime I still have around 0.5-0.6 of flexibility easily. Problem is that bleeping chicane. I hate it so much. Just can't perfect a technique to consistently and quickly enter and exit it. Very frustrating. I love Rome as a track otherwise, but that chicane...oh that chicane. If I can just figure out a way to do it properly, I'm easily seeing high 18's for me though that's only but a pipe dream at this point.

Edit: Took the chicane well, screwed another part (Lost about .5-.8 if I hadn't - On a perfect run of mine - comparing to prior lap time sectors) and came out with a new time of 1:09.699. I can still do the chicane faster but I'm getting better, I hope. Down to #45. Woot - Took the top US Spot.

Praiano's 86 GT 12 tune worked great for me at the TT.
1:11.3 I think it was. 1:12.2 bone stock.

edit, LSD 5 5 5

Thanks Joe, making a few adjustments & starting to see my time drop. Should be a 1:11 time soon, currently 1:12.0, I will try your LSD setting

 

[JK83]

I like prety mutch new DT Madrid cos everyone must drift with same car.
Now you can see who realy can drift

 

[LMP787B]

Tried these TT's earlier got gold on rome after 1 lap, the toyota 86 was slightly harder but managed to get a 1.13, but no idea how to get it down to sub 1.10 any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks

 

[matty_234]

Did you really do that completely stock? Awesome if you did 👍. Warmer tyres? I don't think GT5 really simulates that.

It was completely stock, thanks. Yes, on the first lap I did the tyres were 'blue' on the indicator showing they are cold. I can definitely feel the difference for the first 5 corners or so. Im gonna have a go with a tune tonight and see how that goes.

 

[flimone]

where i can find a good setup for the TT 28 with the toyota ft86 2012?

thanx!

 

[iLex]

Totally disagree. This car on comfort hards is an understeering / snap oversteer monster. Surely takes some patience to get it to do what you want.

I guess I drove well within the limits of the car then as I had no problem at all golding the TT with the car. No mentionable understeer / snap oversteer. I can imagine that you eperience more of this when pushing the car more to get to the top times though.

However I still think that learning the track is the first step to take towards trying to gold this event. It has been proven that it is not that hard to get gold in a stock car when you know the track.

CH and stock power and weight means that suspension will make very little to no difference on car's performance.
Ran it earlier, got a 1'12.5xx on a stock car using clutch so I reckon I'll be able to hit 10s if I try a bit harder.
Will see now...

I think there is a lot of time to gain from setup. Ran this again with all parts added and the car drove a lot worse. Adding ballast to the rear of the car made it more drivable and I guess there is time to gain on the suspension settings.

eclipsi_RC or Turismo-lester, any chance of posting your setup .

 

[Penelope]

Impressive time. i'm 0'2 behind but I used Nsx prototype. I have to try R8 but I don't think I can reach you no matter what car I use

I borrowed a NXS and have now done a 1:09,876 which has put me 75th, happy being the 3rd fastest person from the UK as I will never find those couple of seconds needed to top the list

You can catch me Lustica, just dont let those "Next Lap Invalidated" messages put you off lol.

So true, just done a 14.1 and there is more in the stock car. Have to admit i needed 10-12 laps to get it though i was going round and round at 15.1 till it clicked. Its that first corner for me, i'm losing hours in it.

 

[luv2drive]

Not sure if this should go here or in the Tuning forum so I'll put it in both places.

Trying to tune the 86 GT '12 for the TT. I looked at a couple of the tunes on the tuning forum, but they seem geared towards the car when fully beefed up with extra HP. I'm looking for something that will work well for the current seasonal TT (197 HP / stock). Or should the same settings work?

I think the biggest thing that would help decrease my time are better suspension settings and this is the part I understand least. I modified the rollbars a little and shaved .5 sec off but I'm sure there's more I could do with better settings.

What's everyone else using?

 

[Radi]

i did Rome with a NSX 1:09.796 currently Ranked 75, and with the 86 having so much trouble! I'm doing 1:11.948 stock car.

Edit: the 86 just downforce and trans to lowest thats all.

Ran again, now using oil change and paddle shifter - 1'11.300 was the time, I see a low 1'10 but it's going to be very hard without a setup (I'm useless at tuning so no point tuning unless someone posts a setup).

 

[Going in Hot]

Tsukuba: Ok I've been tuning for a few hours on this and I just can't get the car to rotate going into the tight corners. Watching the replays of the fast guys on any track and they get more rotation going into the corner. I'm running 1:11s and have tried everything I can think of.

How do you get the car to rotate going into the corner? I've messed with brakes, lsd, all the suspension settings. Help please.

Anybody have an NSX I can borrow for Rome??

Thanks

 

[LMP787B]

I managed a 1:12.7 on with the toyota, not sure I can find much more that a second, I've put the brakes to 10/10 and transmission down to min and added some rear downforce, don't know how I should tune the suspension to improve the handling, any tips guys?

Installed drivetrain modifications (LSD, clutch and flywheel) and performed the full weight reduction and then added ballast to 50 position so my time improved to 1'10.6xx.
I see a high 1'09 so that'll be my goal for now (untill someone posts a set that is).

[snowgt]

Hmm. Judging from the restrictions they set for the 86-TT, it seems to me that it was planned to be a "fully stock" time trial. I mean, if the max. hp and minimum weight is exactly the stock figures, it seems likely.

Now, why did they allow tuning at all? It's kind of pointless, if people stick every modification on and then use the power limiter and ballast to get back where they were before, just to get an advantage.

I did a 12.2, if I remember correctly. I would love to know what the "real" best stock time was. But there's no way to find out.

 

[veightpower]

Surely if it was PLANNED to be fully stock then they wouldn't allow tuning. To me the lack of a PP limit positively encourages aero tuning etc. There are std car races in the normal game so outlawing the variants is easy as its already in the program as such. Is it really any different than the 390fan club.

Surely if the car is tuned or not makes no odds. The rules are the same for everybody, if your the quickest your the quickest. I got into the 13's with a stock car and the 11's tuning it.

I might try a bit more but 1'11's will do me, i'm still a greenhorn at the online/real human opponent racing and they take more skill than a computer to beat my time is well beyond gold and that AWD Mitsibushi in WRS is calling.

 

[chriz00]

I used the tune above, by Gerchu, and managed a 1'10.9 ...the car loves to over steer with that setup lol

I'm gonna keep pushing for a 1'9.xxx
