I just had a race... For some reason it felt like I was the ONLY one who ran out of gas.... Wtf?

The race is set to burn fuel at x12 speed. You can change the fuel mixture to lean to stretch out the fuel during the race. If you set it to 6, you can then turn it back up to max for final lap. A setting of 3 or 4 should get you through all 3 laps depending on your car.
 
Thrustmaster T150.

FFB is ultra smooth, wheel has good weight with no clipping.

Cars so far feel decent, a bit like they're floating. The rear end on the Miata will step out easily if not careful.

UI is seamlessly smooth, load times very quick.

We can adjust TC on the fly, very nice.
We can adjust FOV in the options menu, not on the fly. I don't care for that it's nice to make small adjustments on track.

My very early and initial impressions are it's pretty, smooth... Very GT.

The physics are bland compared to Project Cars, just not as much feedback.

I'm going to enjoy GT Sport, no doubt. But my league racing will happen elsewhere.
 
Downloaded it throughout the night, took about 7 hours with my 13mbps ADSL connection. Had a quick look today; the menus are amazing, very fast & slick. The options for online racing in lobbies have been expanded, great to see ghost car & track cut penalties are separate & can be turned on & off independently. Will plug my G29 in this afternoon sometime & give it a proper drive, but so far it seems very much improved over the closed beta.
 
The cheezy 90's arcade reset to the the tarmac after running wide into the sand trap is very irritating. Collision physics is still classic GT.

All in all it is a typical uniquely Gran Turismo world.

GT fans may like it, but if this is any measure of the retail game, I do not see it winning any new buyers. As it stands now, this title will be fun for me as a long time GT player, but it is not winning anyone over from one of the other franchises.

as of now really enjoy the game much more than PC2 in its current state. still yet to try online mode with the hope that GTS will replace Iracing for me in the consoles world

You must be 3rd or 4th I've seen this month that's been here for 7 years with one post. Crazy.

Where can we download Iracing on console? Man, that would be a shake up in the console world.
 
I don't have PS4. Only GTS will force me to buy one.

Almost racing everyday with iRacing on my PC. So I'll judge my PS4/GTS purchase after a week or two reading the comments over here.

Things that I will interests me
- how is the tire degrading
- how the car behave on worn tires
- physics and auto slide correction
- iracing style online leaderboard
- 300ms latency online experience
- cloud based dedicated online server ( not p2p )
- experience on T500RS
- experience via GIMX ( OSW / HE )

Forgot about that, thanks!

Is the demo really Playstation Plus only exclusive?
No, just read...

Surely you're not expecting for GTS to be even close to iRacing, or do you??
 
See the Demo but can't download,it kept saying "This content cannot be selected at this time"
Then hurry the **** up I only have 2 days left if they kept saying this 'till tomorrow.
Game went live but I can't even download it what the **** man,it sits right there but it all it said is "nope deal with it"
 
Same problem

I made a simple test design, just to try out the editor ( which is really nice i think ).
A saved it, but didn't upload it. So when in the home menu, it wasn't there as a decal choice.

I had to chose to upload it, when exiting the editor. This isn't a "share" upload, that's an option after.
Once i had uploaded it, i could go to the home menu and choose "uploaded decal" or whatever the option is called.
As it was my first try at a design, it didn't give me a choice, but just loaded my design directly onto my car.

Now it is my decal and I can use it whenever :)
 
Is there a limit to how much money we can earn and move over to the full version or a limit on how many cars we can unlock at this stage?

I'm sure I read something saying it was capped at 1million credits and 8 cars, but I can't find that info anywhere now.
 
Damn slow internet!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:
Showing download @ 76 hours to go................................................................................................WHAT! :ouch:
Might as well wait for it to hit the streets and get some full feedback on peoples experience. :indiff:

Nice video of the SRT Tomahawk in slow motion!

How did you do the slow motion effect? Is there an option during the Replay video to do Slow Motion? Or did you just drive very slowly in the game?

Update: Just found out that there is a Slow Motion option during a Replay Video. Nice!!

OK I finally get to download it but I'm using my PC to purchase the demo and then send then order my PS4 to download the demo instead since I can't even proceed to download page on PS4
Funnily enough,the same demo that showed on PS Store on PS4 still gives me the same "This content cannot be selected at this time"
If I keep falling for that **** excuse on PS4 I'll probably never get to try the demo.
 
Required to have a Plus account just to DOWNLOAD this demo. Ugh.
Plus account to have had the privilege to download it early, yes.

Is there a limit to how much money we can earn and move over to the full version or a limit on how many cars we can unlock at this stage?

You read right, it's 1 million credits and 8 cars. I think that if you complete all tests available and do the marathon each day, including the one you are gifted you will hit those 8 cars, hence that number. So, I'm not buying any just yet as much as I want to drive my Golf GTI, lol

"You won’t want to miss this limited time demo, as your earned in-game credit (up to $1MM) and up to 8 personalized garage vehicles are transferable to the full game when it launches October 18th."
