NSX in GTPSP

[canieaturchikn]

I just don't get it! why is this car so hard to drive in this game. it oversteers all the time on the ring. i can't even get it faster than 8'20 on the ring. and thats with R3's front and back. on GT4 i can run 6'50's easy with an NA2 type R. argh!!!! any suggestions? i like running the NSX stock with just R3 tires. that's how i run it in GT4 also. hell i even have the traction on 1 just cause GTPSP you can't control the throttle. HELP this is my favorite car!

The difference is probably the combination of digital brake/throttle plus Professional physics. If you want times comparable to GT4, you'll have to use Standard physics... but it'll still be difficult, as you'll never have analog brake/throttle.

Using the d-pad also takes some practice unless you're an old-school player from the GT1 and 2 days.

i know it sounds silly but try using R2 tires on the front and R3 on the rear!
that helped me on gtp when i used an fast MR car.

I never played GT1 or GT2 with the D-pad. GT1 was released May 1998.
The first analog controller was released in august or september of 2007. Why would you have played with the d-pad? When that controller first came out it was a pretty big deal, everbody got one.

you would be surprised a lot of people played with the d pad because A) I think a good majority of us PS1 owners were kids to young adults who are in school. Hell I didn't get my first DS till GT2. Then I got a PS2 for Christmas.

Like niigaki said...

I played all of GT1 and 2 with this:

I didn't get a dual-analog controller until I got my PS2, so GT3 was the first Gran Turismo game I played with analog sticks. I imagine many people played GT1 with the original d-pad only controller. Some may have picked up the DualShock and played GT2 with it, but I was still stuck with the old digital-only one.

I have a very hard time believing anybody would have trouble running a stock, 300hp/1300kg (give or take) car on the stickiest tires. Unless you're being absolutely vicious with your steering and throttle inputs, that car shouldn't even hint at oversteer.

I have noticed snap-back oversteer seems to be more prevalent in this game, but it might have to do with the fact I've never played GT without a vibration function...

unless maybe standard physics is hard to drive

I know that the NSX-R LM Road Car is really hard to drive (it's funny to drive it because it drifts all the time), I can imagine that a NSX with 280hp is also hard to drive... but I don't think that you can be 90 seconds (!) slower only because you use professional car physics... Well, maybe you don't like oversteer or you need more practice. Well, good luck with that car ^^

i don't think it has anything to do with my driving. I drive highpower FR cars around the ring no problem. it's just the NSX for some reason. i can do a 6'56 with a Ford GT no stripes. 6'48 with the Veyron, 6'52 with the Enzo. what is up with the NSX in this game? it's like this game is geared towards oversteer. not a bad thing cause now FF cars are more managable, but i think they just tuned too much oversteer in the NSX.

 

[LeGeNd-1]

If you say the NSX in GTPSP is oversteery, you haven't tried the NSX in GT1. You're facing backwards everytime you try to brake. Literally.

As a tip though, NSXs are NOT easy cars to master. You have to learn to anticipate the worst when driving this car. But when you finally 'understood' the car, it'll reward you leaps and bounds. Try to spend minimal time under brakes, and tap the accelerator when braking. Make corners as short as possible (in other words, drive straight as much as you can). Don't get on the throttle too early. If the tail begins to slide, tap the accelerator and countersteer (DON'T let go of the gas completely). Above all else, practice practice practice.

Hope that helps .

ok with some more time with the NSX on the ring i have managed a 7'32. not bad. i am now getting used to it in GTPSP. but still no where near my times on GT4, and yes i know the NSX is tricky to drive cause of its MR layout. I've had to re-master this car on all the GT series, GT1,2,3,4,5p and now PSP. 5p was more forgiving than all the rest though. i guess more practice is all i need for PSP. and i forgot to mention this is only for the ring. on all the other tracks it drives like a dream. weird huh i know. just curious though what are some of you able to run on the ring with the NSX as far as lap times. i'm using the NA2 type R with R3 front and rear, stock with pro physics and tcs on 1. no active steering or ASM.

Well that's a lie. It's just not even remotely true, at all, in any way.

Really? You think a 300hp rear-driven car shouldn't hint at oversteer? :|

I think the NSX in this game is fantastic. It does oversteer, but I've never found it to be unmanageable. In fact, it's my favourite car in the game. I also find the Ford GT and Veyron unbearable because they just don't turn.

^are you driving it stock as i do or are you tuning it. if you are tuning it what are your settings?

 

[Fredzy]

I found that the NSX is pretty quick on dirt.
