Tablets(and Android Smartphone sideloads and Bluestacks on PC&Mac)Only, How Does That Make You Feel?

track editor work with smartphone

It is all beside the point isn't it ? All you should need to use a feature that was supposed to be included in GT6 originally is : 1 x PS3 and 1 x GT6 game ? They do like to burn their fans and make enemies eh ?

Exactly my feelings, PD is trolling with us that have paid for a complete game and almost 2 years later we need a external device to play a feature that should be in tha game in first place, like I've said before, for me GT as ended.

Says "*This app is available exclusively for tablet devices. It does not work on smart phones."

And my HTC One M8 is on the list of incompatible devices.

Where did you find this "list" ?

Says "*This app is available exclusively for tablet devices. It does not work on smart phones."

And it doesn't wok on my HTC One M8

Doesn't seem to be available for any Android device at the moment. No harm trying out APK when it is available to download on phone to see what happens.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Where did you find this "list" ?

When I view the app's page in Google Play store it checks compatibility with all the devices connected to your account.

 

[finnracer]

Doesn't work with my Oneplus One, which isn't too far off a tablet in size!

 

[zzz_pt]

So, not only does the app only work on tablets but now we're starting to see that it also only works on some of them... Great!

 

[kogunenjou]

When someone finds a compatible tablet, can you tell me? I'm 90% sure I have a working emulator environment but I can't find a compatible device.

 

[SilverSE102]

I'd like to know which tablets are compatible with the app as well, the cheapest iPad mini 2 is around $270. If there is a way to do this on a pc, I would rather spend the money on a new pc/ laptop. Right now my iPhone 5 is my computer, my pc is outdated and can not be updated.

Wow.. What a blind comment. Not all computers have GPS. And why would you bring your computer on a roadtrip just to make a track anyway?

And is making a track from GPS data a feature of the app?

 

[syntex123]

Yes, it is.

As you can see all of the iPad only apps show up as apps for the iPhone.

And where's the Course Maker?

 

[Andyc709292]

So like many here, I've not got the right gear - the sony phone doesn't cut it, and the old samsung tablet doesn't either.
But, what might is the rather splendid Android emulator(DuOS) I've just installed (and in fact am in now) on my laptop.

Being Australia, not sure if it's this setup or just "not my country's turn yet" (tm), but if I follow the link in the news article I get a not available in your country, and can't find the app by searching normally...

I'm working through this, but if this works it's a major win, as there are apps and websites out there that create GPX data from Google maps that are easy to use in Windows/Laptops, and then, with a deft flick I'll be map making on my fake'let.

I'll keep you posted...

 

[Voodoovaj]

So, at end of this ordeal, it has been a long wait for nothing. Actually, a long wait for LESS than nothing since GT5 had the course maker at launch without the need for extra hardware.

Gt6 is a shining example of terrible game direction, user disrespect, and a complete lack of understanding for the term brand loyalty.

Shameful.

 

[syntex123]

Shameful indeed. I wasn't even glad when I heard the news CM was coming yesterday, and possibly only for tablets. I didn't even smile. I was disappointed, and I keep sighing. I'm seriously considering getting myself a cheap china tablet though.

 

[Andyc709292]

Well, if I can get the app working in this emulator, I'm going to be stung $15Au, which I can happily live with.

 

[NandoRock]

When I go to the browser, I have this same message. But when I go to Play Store inside the Bluestacks, I have the message "This app is not available in your country". Maybe it is a matter of time to be able to run it in Bluestacks and/or smartphones. At least, I hope...

I don't think you can state that as a fact just yet....

 

[syntex123]

They better add smartphone support. It's not fair (Yes I'm whining like a little kid) to only let certain tablet users use this app. It just isn't fair at all.

 

[Froudeybrand]

Its stupid, not every one has an ipad or tablet, and why the hell would you spend time and effort on the tablet when you load it in the game its rubbish, no real test and tune kind of situation

 

[syntex123]

Exactly. It should work to fine-tune the track in-game too..

All Emulators are giving the same message....

 

[Harsk100]

To be honest, it makes me feel ridiculous, because my tablet's version isn't compatible with the application. In GT5, we can create tracks via PS3, but why not on GT6, too? I want to be able to create rally tracks via PS3. I think that the people should be able to create tracks via PS3 like GT5 does.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Having played through a couple of the sample tracks, I'm not sure I'll bother dropping the money for a tablet to pay with this. And I really do not want to have to buy an Apple product.

 

[Vitessekid]

That 1 guy who managed to download it... PD themselves?

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

You can get a tablet for less than £40. It is also possible to run android apps on a PC within Chrome.

It's not the end of the world.

Would tell me how that works, please? Also, anybody found a way to run this on a Surface or Surface RT yet?

 

[FlyingFox]

Well done PD on another White Elephant.

 

[Froudeybrand]

So the wife and myself brought ourselves (family,( like literally Sunday)) a new Samsung Tablet an 8 inch 16 gig brand spanking new and

"This app is incompatible with all of your devices" - No carrier Samsung SM-T350

 

[DUD Rage]

I was thinking, (& forgive me if someone already posted this and i missed it.) Could PD somehow make the App able to download to the ps3 directly from the psn store? Because my Sony headset has a lil app I downloaded that I could change a few things on. I know it could take weeks, or even possibly months. But it would be better than not being able to use the Track Editor at all. :/

 

[BloodyThunderX]

I honestly hope that after this debacle they decide to be sensible enough and atleast, if they can't give us a version on the PS3 itself, to give us a PC version where it can be browser operated.

Get an Android device if you are looking to save money. Just make sure it is a compatible device first. Should be able to find one for $100 or less that has as much or more processing power than an ipad. I'm not trying to start an apple vs android debate, apple has it's perks. But bang for your buck is definitely in android's favor

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Also, I noticed that it isn't in the United States yet
