steering bar--oversteer

[Quinlan Vos]

OK...I'd tried to by a good guy and search the forums for an answer.......to no avail

here's my problem, maybe you can help

I'm trying to beat "like the wind" in the extreme events

I picked a minolota toyota '89, but when I hit the top gears my oversteer hits 10000%. Everytime I turn the slightest bit it says I'm turining 100% and it won't return to the center.

no the controler is not stuck, it's not the game itslef 'cause I tried restarting, I ca't beat the test course with my steerig stuck please help if you can

Huh? If you mean the bar at the very bottom, between the speedometer and tachometer, that's just the lateral G-force meter; it isn't a gauge of how much you're steering. At 240 miles per hour, the forces pushing you (the driver) towards the outside of any turn, even a gradual one, will be very strong.

I can't say I have any idea what your problem is. Are you spinning out? Are you hitting the rev limiter? This should be a very easy race to win with slightly longer gears and small, smooth steering inputs. I'm guessing you're hacking at the analog stick or mashing the D-pad, and yes, you may scrub off speed or spin with such huge steering inputs. You don't need them on such long corners.

Ok, there's a few things we need to know here:

What controller are you using? DS2? DFP? G25? Other wheel? Other pad?

Do you have ASM & TCS set on your Minolta? If so turn them OFF!!!! (Settings --> Driving Aids ---> ASM Oversteer 0, ASM Understeer 0, TCS 0 (TCS maybe 1 or 2 if you're not good at controlling wheelspin.))

How can you be sure it's not the controller?
Have you tried another controller and had it do the same thing? (Restarting the game proves nothing, since if your controller is sticking, it'll stick no matter how many times you've reset.)

Have you tried another car?
If you've not already done it, win the two Easy Umbria Rally Races in the Special Conditions Hall to win the Cadillac Cien Road Car.

Then follow these instructions:

from Stock car race comparison/challenge thread*

Extreme Hall: Like The Wind Race - Test Course
Car: Cadillac Cien '02 (Minimum Downforce) / MR / ?HP (760HP on garage screen) / 1450kg / ?kg/HP (1.9kg/HP using garage value) / 200 A-spec points!

vs. Nissan R390 GT1, BMW V12 LMR, BMW McLaren F1 GTR, PlayStation Pescarolo C60/Judd, Pescarolo Courage C60/Peugeot.

Cadillac had fully customisable transmission and adjustable downforce in stock form! Downforce was minimised for less drag, and an autoset of 18 on the transmission allows for cruising at ~233mph on straights, and upto 250mph while drafting. Took off slowly from the line since I was on stock SM tyres versus everyone elses RM tyres, but once up to speed, the McLaren is reeled in first, giving a speed boost from the draft which allows me to catch the green Pescarolo, and again the slingshot puts me on the tail of the white Pescarolo. The BMW & Nissan who were once 7s in front have had their lead cut to under 5s by the end of lap 1, and after passing the 2nd Pescarolo, it's just a matter of time before I've crept up on them, passing them both in the second turn on lap 3. After that it's an easy cruise to the finish line, and 200 points!

To recap: Win Cadillac Cien. (If you feel it's necessary you can change oil & fit racing tyres, but it's definitely not required, this car will win "Like The Wind" in totally unmodified form.)
Use settings to adjust downforce F/R to minimum values.
Use settings to adjust transmission autoset to 18.
Take off driving aids (0/0/0) (Again maybe 1 or 2 on TCS if you can't control wheelspin.)
Enter "Like The Wind" and exit the race without starting if there's a Nissan R89C, R92CP, Sauber C9, Toyota 88C-V or Jaguar XJ9-R in the lineup. (If you've enough patience try to find the exact lineup I faced. )
Race a suitable lineup.
Don't despair when you're left hanging off the standing start.
Once you reach full speed you'll catch the rest of the field by the end of the 3rd lap and you'll cruise to victory.
Let us know if this car exhibits 10000% (100 times what's actually possible BTW! ) oversteer too.



Oh, and please don't use "txt speek" such as "plz" here. It's clearly stated in our Acceptable Use Policy which you can find a link to at the bottom of every page on GT Planet. Thanks. 👍

I was able to do this in a fully worked Supra with S2 tyres, how you can't do it with a Minolta is shocking to me.

Like Austin said, small inputs are what's required. I know with my DS2 when I'm going around Turns 1&2 or 3&4 I'm tapping that left D-pad atleast 100 times each lap just so the inputs are small, quick and repetitive to keep a steady line. Some others use the stick.

 

[Quinlan Vos]

the problem was, even if I gave it a small tap, it would turn all the way, and get stuck in the direction I turned.

I'm sure it was something with the car or just a small glitch beacuse I have now since beaten it with my pesacarlo sport

I'll check it out again tomorow, I'm going to bed

 

[sukerkin]

A small possibility is that you are using an old controller that pre-dates the inclusion of pressure sensivity in the buttons. That would give the effect you describe of 100% input and no re-centreing

 

[Quinlan Vos]

then why would it do that for only one car though.

 

[sukerkin]

Ah. If it is only the one car then you're quite right to discount it as an explanation.

It would seem that the only other theory is that the set-up of your Minolta requires some work as it can't handle the inputs the controller is providing.

But you say that there is an actual malfunction in that the controller will not auto-re-centre?

If that is the case then I can offer no constructive advice, as it appears that the laws of micro-electronics are being violated by the presence of the Minolta on screen .

 

[Monkey House]

I haven't tried this event, but my experience with the Minolta and all of the cars of that class is that even a small mistake will more often than not result in the car going into a spin and augering into a wall. They have a pretty steep learning curve because of their incredible power and speed.
(That's using the new GT Force wheel)

lol the controler recenters the car does not

I know how to handel the car uxsually too, I'd race with it all the time....hmmmmmm, I'll try it again and see what happens

At first I thought if you start 'gagin', don't choke and die on us.

Then I thought you may have been throwing new words out and since I didn't know what the heck "gagin" meant, I decided to urban dictionary it and from what it says, gagin means the N-BOMB!!

So are you trying to get around AUP calling us the N-Bomb in a Soulja Boy way there Quinlan??

 

[Quinlan Vos]

???????No way!!!!!!!

I can't even find where I used it??? can you point it out so I can edit it

EDIT: oh wait I found it. Wow, I didn't know bad spelling could cause some problems

The Peugeot 905 doesn't exhibit much in the way of oversteer at Like the Wind; you get agonizingly long shift delays (perhaps the gear linkage extends to France), but if you hang in there, you'll catch the lead pack by lap 4 by drafting, and cruise to victory with 200 A-spec points, if left mostly unmodified (except adjusting the gearbox and lowering the downforce levels).

Quinlan Vos, we prefer regular typing because it allows everyone from all over the globe to understand and translate (if necessary) what is said. It encourages a better exchange of information, and prevents spamming and flooding of our forums with useless banter.

Also, when discussing items in the Gran Turismo world, a level of precision is needed since similar cars have similar-sounding names/numbers/designatons, but act differently. This means we stress careful spelling, whenever possible, because it prevents the eventual flame wars and hurt feelings over a missed letter or number.

With that said, nobody should [wikipedia]hyperventilate[/wikipedia] over obviously unintentional spelling errors that can be easily figured out. (Firefox 2.0 and above, or opening Word are good at resolving that.)

 

[Quinlan Vos]

ok, sorry for the text speak. I learned my lesson to read the rules better. sorry.

the pesacarlo sport worked great for me, so now I'm on to the rest of the extreme events.
