Im glad to see you here man, my thoughts as you alreaddy know is the timing/tree problem, we need a proper timing system, so we actually can see real data on what impact our improvements have done. I think many of us have come to a limit wheres only reaction and connection determine who is the fastest one, which is a big limitation.
Hmmm, I think there are more drift than drag lobbies. And I want a SSR7 tunnel drag variant.
I completely agree with the rest of what you said.
True, thats why we need a real drag racing timer, not this bs everybody is trying to pull, like measure time with stopwatch, call down the launch, like 3-2-1 go, or honk the horn three times etc. Reason i dont play gt5 any more, simply because its to manny morons in drag rooms that dont understand this complexity.
Agree, I was racing against Joey's Enzo today and it was hilarious! We started by tree and time several times, almost no difference in first gear, but then he or I just pulled away! It was always pretty close, but we couldn't really say who's faster. I mean, 1 tenth makes 11metres difference at the end of the tunnel with an Enzo! And 1 tenth is nothing!
Thats what i say all the time, but funny thing is, many people that gets the launch thinks their setup is better. Its like we fighting a battle that never can be won, and retuning our cars for the sake of retuning...You can might as well use a worse setup and still win, just because you get the launch by a tenth or what ever.
Yes the real tree, but in real drag racing, you can get the time from when the car starts moving till you cross the finish line. Problem in gt5 with ghost though, is the ghost can lagg, specially if one lives far away from the host, and the people ghosting living in the same country. Before i didnt believe that, but now its is confirmed. If both have good reaction, the person living closest to the ghost gets the launch. And total time launch is even worse, the total time is very flawed, and it doesnt show up the same, even for people living in the same country. No man, we need a freaking timer that starts when car is launching, and stops when exit the finish line, easy. Now we have real data showing us. It doesnt even matter if the other "jumps" if we have real timer, because it only measure your total time for your car. Now we are dependent on eachother when we race, depending on how the other one launches, that determines who wins, and if we are going to retune our cars or not.
You have only 1 car set for drag? In this case, forget it. Tune more cars, run with some pros and if you can compete with them, you'd have a chance.
Yea some fast cars at that!dr_slump
You can't really say who the fastest is.
Really? That's new for me.....
Its not our reaction that is the problem, but the fact is that even if we have a reaction of 0.2 seconds, the latency till affect very much. Even if you would have 0.1 in reaction time + latency can mess up the race. Thats why we need individual timing system that shows your own time, you see? Nobody can mess with the real time, no bs only clean racing.
