PLEASE HELP!!!! I can't do a wheelie

[joshturrell]

i have read for a while now in loads of places, and seen a video of it; a wheelie being pulled on GT3.

but i have not manged to do this myself! What am i doing wrong?

i have the wright car, Escudos pike peakes, maxxed out to the full, and nothing, i tried it on test course and nothing. I tried changing the ride height to make the back low and the front high and also the downforce at the back huge, and none at the front. but nothing, why doesn't this work?

someone help me out please?

 

[G.T]

Are you sure you've done everything listed here?


1. Have a car with OVER 1000 HP. Like the Escudo, GT-one race car, or R390 GT1 Race car.
2. Equip the highest stage turbine kit or NA tune possible.
3. Decrease spring rate to the smallest possible value for both front and rear.
4. Decrease ride height to the smallest possible value for both front and rear.
5. Set the gear ratio's auto setting to the highest level possible.
5. Set the gear ratio's final gear to about 3.000
6. Decrease the front downforce to the smallest possible value.
7. Increase the rear downforce to the largest possible value.
8. Set ASM to level 0.
9. Set TCS to level 0.

The whole wheelie thing is a waste of time, no offense. It's not like there's drag racing in GT3. But I guess some people get a kick out of it. Hey more power to you.

Oh good, I'm not the only one who has no desire to do wheelies. (Well, maybe with my mountain bike...)

I guess if I were 12 instead of 39 it would seem really cool, know what I mean? I used to work with this 16-year old who could do wheelies on my mountain bike. Used to scare the hell out of me...I know the second I try and do one I'd wind up breakin my skull! In the game it just seems a waste of time to me. Maybe I'm missing something.

When you do a wheelie on a mountain bike, you don't glitch up and start accelerating rapidly until you're travelling beyond 2000mph. In GT3, you do.

It's something that has to be seen once, and laughed at. Any wheelie-ing beyond that is pointless.

I was trying to prove that in the GTGenome Project. Most of the "kids" that did wheelies thought they were the fastest thing out there, so I took an Escudo and a hybrid CRX to the test course. I wheelied the Escudo (I was driving it with my big toe!), and then overtook it in the non-wheelieing hybrid CRX.

 

[Famine]

Besides, the stoppie is far cooler...

 

[Fantaman]

yep you're right
and then again: a wheelie, you do it once maybe twice and then look for something a bit more ...

Sometimes my nephew comes over. He's 10 or 11 now...I forget. Anyways, perhaps he'd be interested in a wheelie so maybe I'll learn it for his sake. Last weekend I was doing Tomb Raider: Last Revelation and he was sitting there for hours just watching me go thru Ankgor Wat! Kids are easily fascinated even when they're not playing...

I can play tomb raider for hours last month I bought the first six games
but now GT4 much more interesting BTW can you wheelie in GT4??

 

[Parnelli Bone]

I just got TR: Legned yesterday. I mean Legend. It's my first PS2 Tombraider and Lara is such a fox. I keep making mistakes cuz she's so hot and I keep looking at her and stuff.

IN GT4 I don't know if you can wheelie or not. I bet you can't.

 

[Wolfe]

I'm pretty sure you can, using the same downforce trick.

 

[Fantaman]

well as soon I have a car that's capible, I give it a try

I jsut got TR: Legned yesterday. I mean Legend. It's my first PS2 Tombraider and Lara is such a fox. I keep making mistakes cuz she's so hot and i keep looking at her and stuff.

well I'm not that easy to distract
Yep lara is one hell of a cyberbabe, to bad the grapichs in the older versions are crap but Angel Of darkeness is looking very good , I havend played legend I only have the first six games

I know we're not supposed to hijack but sometimes it works..otherwise the forum completely dies (witness GT1 lately). Anyways, I let my nephew play TR:L on Saturday...I could barely watch him...all he does is run thru till he finds someone he can shoot. It freaked me out! I'm all about taking Tomb Raider at a slower pace...looking for secrets, and surprising my enemies from behind a rock instead of just running up to them!

I had to leave the room, it was actually bumming me out watching him do it all wrong!

First off, you can wheelie in GT4, its just harder to do - you have to use NOS to get it to lift off the ground though and the cars dont accelerate as hard.

I also was quite impressed with the wheelie trick for the first few times then the novelty wears off, its much more fun trying to squeeze the last few km/h out of the car instead of getting off the ground.

 

[Fantaman]

I found the wheelie trick very handy for doing the Like the wind race
haven.t done it after that, exept of breaking out of seatle and freeze up the ps2 by going insanely fast. I had to do it ones.


to fall back to TB:
some levels you can walk right true, for some I need a walktrough, but i'm playing 3 lately, some are a real challange others are plain easy.
there are always multible ways to complete a game, choose the one that fits you, i say

In GT I always race the competition on their terms, so I doubt I'll ever drive an F1 except for time trials (I hear there's no F1-only series). But in other games, I'll break out the walkthru! After you've fallen from that ledge 10x in a row, I tend to get frustrated..it's more important to me to enjoy my time off than be frustrated...hence the walkthru comes in handy for my other games...

I don't know,is it really a waste of time?

Every time I show my friends they crap their pants on how fast it goes.

I had also started a thread on GT3 drag racing in Lap times and comparisons, just because it isn't in the game doesn't mean you can't make it up.👍

 

[Parnelli Bone]

That's cool. Wheelies are an unofficial part of the game, somebody obviously programmed cars to be able to do them, so it's cool somebody else found a way to do it. It's just that me personally...I'd rather spend my time learning braking points, apexes, trying out different cars, etc.

I'm about halfway thru the pros. So far in GT3:
# of times I've done a wheelie: Zero
# of times I've driven an Escuseo: Zero
# of times I've driven a GT-1 (any GT1): Zero

But like I said, it sounds fun, I wasn't saying "don't do it"..I was merely saying "I don't get it", which means I don't get why so many threads are created about it. I'd rather discuss the lowly Alto Works and what it can potentially do!

 

[supert10]

I agree with that. Wheelies and top speed threads seem very overdone.
Haven't tried wheelies myself and I can't say that I will every try it.
Driving the Escudo on the other hand is something I do now and then
just because its so fast and really tests your reflexes. I have said it before,
you can tune it to handle pretty good. I can use sport (street) tires and
still win races. (Pro World Championship series) Most people think you can only use super softs with it.
As for the Alto Works, also fun. Won the entire Rally series with it.
(including the wet track races) Try it, you will have a blast.

Yeah, it's like on and on with the top speed thread. It's like: who cares? I mean really.

I only drove an excuse-o once and that was to do the Pikes Peak uphill in GT2...I simply could not beat the ghost in any other car. That's why I call it the "excuse-o"...most of the folks who drive it (including me) do so while making excuses (oh..that race was too long, too fast, etc). But really, it's not necessary for any other races other than Pike's Peak so far as I can tell, even for newbs. When I was a newbie, (in GT1) I'd always pay attention to the weight & power the AI cars boasted so I wouldn't have too much advantage. Whatever, tho.

 

[Sundo50]

So... u wanna wheelie? Heres how..

Buy the Gillet Vertigo.

Buy the Highest Turbo and Super Soft Slicks.

Go to Settings.. Follow these steps.

Suspension

Spring Rate : Lowest front and rear.
Ride Height : Lowest front and rear.

Gear Ratios

Auto Setting : WIDEST.
Final 3.000

Down Force

Lowest at Front
Highest at Back.

ASM and TCS Level 0

And then just take it out on the test track and at about 380 kmh you will take off I said Kmh because i dont know how to change it to mph lol. If anyone does can ya private message me please?

 

[Parnelli Bone]

You can't change from kph to mph or vice versa. Only GT4 lets you do this.

Ahh... Well thats rubbish.... They missed out one of the most important things!

Funny thing is they've been promising a distance converter since GT2 days...we didn't get one till GT4.

Thats pathetic, they probably forgot that they promised a Distance Converter and could'nt be bothered to work on one.

It's like anywhere that you work with deadlines and such. Not everything gets done properly in a high-stress environment. It seems to me that being a game designer in general is incredibly competitive and can be stressful, (long hours, social life dead, etc). and when the entire world is waiting for a new game to come out...and then that deadline has to get pushed back a few more months because things aren't right yet, then stuff gets messed up. Little things like a distance converter or technical info will get dumped first since the big things (making sure the graphics look proper and the cars handle like they're supposed) are most important.

Well, it must be a stress being a game designer because they must have to work a hard life having to design a game and work out what needs to be done. They would most probably forget the littlest things on a game, but when somebody needs the little things, it turns out to be a big thing. Because then it would set everyone off asking about something that isnt there. True, making the cars and graphics look proper and trying to get the cars to handle like their supposed to are most important because the game would be rubbish with a sports car that handles like a truck For example: A Nissan Skyline R34 handling like a FF car, that would be unusual though. Graphics have to look good in the game because if their not then it dont feel like your playing a proper game. If the graphics are too poor then it wouldnt be worth making.

And then just think of all the crappy games that wind up in the bargain bin at EB games! Think of the work that went into those games and you can see how important it is for good games to get it right. Nobody wants to be the next Sega!
