What about someone who says hybridding is cheating in the game? I love hybridding cars in GT5 but the thing is, that guy keeps blaming about it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it's misinformed. The only way to cheat with a hybrid is to dramatically overpower a car, then the PP goes backwards and you can get into a 550PP race for example, with 3000 HP. However, those cars are easy to spot and easy to control with HP/Weight limits, high tire wear/fuel consumption etc.

I don't like cars that are to hacked. I never said all of them

I understand you if the hacked cars are like over a thousand HP since they are unrealistic, that's really not appreciated by some others but some hacked ones are not like that. But not saying that you shouldn't hate it or what.
 
I like realistic and just funny hybrids. Example 1, v8 fiat 500,Chevy camaro 69 engine,500hp and its great fun except it likes to wheelie.





Example 2 hayabusa mini z car,hayabusa engine,rwd,300hp,turbos realistic yet great little car.





Example 3. Wrx beetle. 22b engine,360hp, it's realistic and surprisingly fast and very sideways.


All made by friends not by me.
 
Using the most extreme example doesn't prove your point. Hybriding is more than just dropping 10k HP into a Mini. I raced nothing but hybrids first time around, and will probably race nothing but hybrids from now on until they ban them again. The allure of a 2010 Camaro SS or a 69' Vette with a proper V8 roar or an RX-7 with a 787B motor in it is just too great. I race within the PP limits with almost identical power to the stock motor, sometimes a little less sometimes a little more depending on the torque curve. All that really changes is the exhaust note and for the better.

Anyone that can find fault with that knows nothing about cars or how GT5 and the PP system really works.

read the bold print. any idea why they banned it in the first place? the only reason we still have this virus corrupting our game is because the update wasn't completely bullet proof and a few no lifer computer hackers decided to bring back the problem. go back to call of duty and hack that one. BTW make sure your running your hacks during the last week of september.👍
 
^^ i respect your opinion and everything but you're making it sound like it's killing GT5 when it isn't. I personally don't build hybrids but I like what the community can build and show us. Take me for example, I've played GT5 an awful lot and recently my interest was slowly going away, then a good friend got me a SLS E Gull and I was back with a recharged interest. :sly: Like most community's you do get a few bad apples but name me a community that doesn't have one or two? Now to talk about the old "no life computer hacker" insult. How do you know if the person who did these hacks has no life? For all we know he could be a quite successful person in real life. My view on why the hackers aren't doing it to COD is simple. There's only so many times you can beat a dead horse before it becomes boring. :) but like I said, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.
 
I only like realistic hacks. Some people HP hack & they just crash everywhere & some times there will be a lag..

Nailed it 👍 .. Last time around I really got into the fastest lap time at route X .. Not only did it cause lag issues but it is very hard on you processor in your ps3.. I know the one on the fatboy model finally gave in during that time ..
 
I've been finding these "Hacks welcome" or "Realistic swaps" lobbies fun (when the host is active). Some unrealistic ones get in and ruin the moment.
I saw a hacked car go through me. The game couldn't register a hit. In other words, the hacker broke physics. As soon as that happened I left the lobby.
 
Yes I like being able to finally put a Porsche engine in a VW Beetle or bus, or drop a R34 lump into a S13/14. :cool:

Realistic conversions are fun and seem to be popular, but not for online.
You will always get some moron with a 3000bhp civic or 100k+ X1 just begging to be kicked. :rolleyes:
 
I'd been away for a while from GT5 and almost missed out on the hybridizing...
I can see the trouble people can and will cause online with this, but done sensibly this is really adding a lot to the game. For example I'm driving a classic Mini IRL. In game, the car and esp. what you can do to it has always been a great disappointment. Now I can build one I like: Cappucino chassis, 97 Civic engine and drivetrain. Nothing unrealistic, plenty of cars like this out there. Sounds glorious and is an absolute blast to drive. Oh, and finally proper rims, too...

I just wish PD would make such things possible as an official feature in the future. Please? Pretty please?
 
Not in a million years. A simulation game is a game that simulates real life things for example simulating cars. If you think GT should have hacked cars than you are brain dead. It is trying to simulate an actual car. So driving a Peugeot 208 with an engine like an x1 isn't actual simulating a Peugeot 208 is it. My uncle has one and if one sounded like that then Sarah Jessica Parker has a pretty face

Engine (and other parts) swaps are not pure evil.

86 w/ LS7:


Before you yell bullcrap, this car was created by a friend of mine in imitation of a real D1 car:


Isn't this, by definition, simulation?

Usually the guys I run into lobbies with hacked cars are jerks with there thousands of horsepower ramming people but I know not everyone's the same.

Some people just don't know that it's cheating already, I mean using thousand HP cars online.
 
There're two types of hackers:

1: just some guys ramming and slamming their cars with hundretthousands of horsepower on tracks like Sarthe...

2: Guys who try to build up some cars, which exist in real life, but not on GT5.
for example in the british Time Attack series, there is a white Subaru running, named "The Gobstopper" it has around 800bhp... the best car which fits is the 22B model, but in GT5, ut only generates around 500hp I think.

My AMS Alpha Omega replica ( 1800 awhp ) record breaking 7 secs quarter mile with full weight IRL and Saleen S7 Twin Turbo AWD replica ( 2281 AWHP ) - yes, it exists, some nut from Russia made it, check on Youtube :D They are hybrids and no, they are not cheating when driven online - mainly for cruise lobby or drag. Because they are simulating real life car tuned to similar power and specs.

Good point MonGnom, btw I'll send you the Evo VI you asked, not going to put it on share - too special and unique :D

haha ok thank you RIDOX! btw i have another idea for you if you are interested, it should be a Pro Mod Dragster for a quarter mile...
 
Unfortunately, Where there is the Good "hackers" who build decent realistic cars, there will always be those who insist on having a million horsepower. To get rid of the bad, the good has to go as well.

No it doesn't. This could easily be fixed by PD with minor adjustments to the PP system to account for hybrids. A simple HP check against the known stock maximum would reveal a car as a hybrid in terms of excess HP. The PP system could be adjusted so that it's completely llinear once stock HP is exceeded, it's just one line of code.

This is not a hard problem to fix within the parameters already within the game, PD is just unwilling to put any support behind the game because it's so old. You can bet they won't tolerate this in GT6.

This.

Or PD could simply allow a HP and PP limit to be set at the same time. That would actually fix everything.

Looking through this thread... It still to this day baffles me how some people do not know the definition of "cheating".

PP system is not reliable with ultra-high-powered cars, things start to get wonky when you go above for, say, 2000HP (I'm aware that HP cap is at 1500, but still). It starts to glitch out and you'll start to experience a PP drop at things that would result in a rise, and vice versa.

This phenomenon is most-well known in the pre-2.12 100k HP X2010, which was so ridiculously-overpowered that it had its PP well in the negatives.

What they need to do, aside from your suggestion to allow cross-checking multiple rules, is to actually fix the damn PP system.

I agree. I still don't care about the PP system in general, never have to be honest. I wouldn't expect it to get a overhaul any time soon.

But if PD would allow all restrictions to be applied simultaneously, it would solve most if not all problems with the ridiculous cars bypassing restrictions.
 
Hey guys, I'm new around here. Seems the general concensus on hybrids is basically "don't be a douche and take yoyr 50,000hp Bugatti into legit online league races." That being said, weeding out the bad bunch, hybrid cars seem to have done a lot to keep interest in this game. Will PD take note of this interest? Hopefully, but probably not until GT7.. I'm all for chassis and LEGIT motor swaps, like a stanced out LS1 Miata or RX7.

In that case.....

Welcome to GTPLanet!!! You need to see my LS7 powered Miata :sly: Complete Track Monster!

I don't think PD will actually make hybrids into an actual feature (perhaps they'll include Forza-style optional engine swaps that are only from the same manufacturer), but perhaps they'll become more lenient about the matter and maybe even supportive.

But why? Is that because of licensing like what some guy said?

And wasn't hybridding present in the previous GT games?

Hybridising was present in the previous GT's, it's just it was done in a different way back then. :)

It all changes when it goes online and the system can't account for the extra power of the hybrids. No one would care about hybriding if you could set game parameters up to exclude or include them from hosted rooms and TT's. In GT1-4 you only competed with yourself so you could only cheat yourself.
 
This topic is still going on?

Grip, weight, and HP modifiers are in the past unless you are really determined. I'll concede that 650PP+ can see issues with power imbalances, but from 600 on down, it's just a good time had by all.

IMHO, besides route X, piloting a 1000hp+ takes some skill so I'd give credit where credit is due. I still like 475-600PP where you never encounter mega power.
