The Bathurst Mount Panorama Thread

[GBO Possum]

To the best of my knowledge, we don't have a thread dedicated to Bathurst, but I know we have a lot of passionate Bathurst fans in our community.

I'm tempted to dedicate this thread to @Pete05 and @ScotteDawg, but that would be unfair to the rest of the mountain lovers.

May I suggest limiting to one photo per post, so that when somebody "likes" a photo, we know which one is getting the "likes"?

To kick it off, one of the images which comes to mind when someone says "Bathurst" is the inside wheel lifting on the Dipper.

Sorry, I had to post more than one shot. Bathurst is my favourite track in the game and I have taken many photos there, particularly of cars lifting through The Dipper! I do have other shots though...

Camera in one hand, koala in the other!

Also, love the wheel lifts in your photos further up this thread!

And for everyone's favorite rollover corner..........Murray's! Using sidewalls, saves tread.

Great idea for a thread. I must capture some more shots from Bathurst - very picturesque.

All shots are totally unedited - they came straight off my PS3!

Yea, it's amazing what can be achieved just by using photomode with all it's effects.
I never edit - haven't got any software on the PC. However seeing some of the edited results - I'm tempted.

Another shot from the top.

Great time of day for that beautiful light!

BTW, @ScotteDawg, are you getting game lock ups when you use your camera near the Dipper? It's driving me crazy.

I don't have a photo editing program on my computer either! I use three sites - Ribbet, PicMonkey and LunaPic - depending on the effect I want to create...

Yeah, I get the lock ups too, but it's not just the Dipper or Mount Panorama. I have had problems with the camera since update 1.06 and I honestly thought it would be fixed in 1.07. It wasn't but I found that if you save the replay then exit the game, go off-line and re-enter the game without logging back on, you can watch the replay and take photos without the freezing! Sure, it's time consuming, but you'll get the photos you want!!

Maybe it's just me, but I feel that most of the American old school muscle are made for this track! No matter what adjustments are made to the power or suspension, they all handle brilliantly around Bathurst!

Mid engine - alllllllright(ish)...
FF - quick by not so good
4WD/AWD - sluggish (too many turns)
Euro FR - go well but.......
Old Japanese FR - better than Euro!
New Japanese FR - better again, though there's not many
Modern US muscle - very nice!
Commodore & Monaro - Aus cars made for Aus roads, so...
Old US muscle - just have that certain something!

(this is just my opinion, other people may - and are free to - feel differently)

(New is 1980 on - old is 1979 back)

Oh dear, that makes me feel old then.

Me too...

If you like the Shelby Mustang - try out the link in my signature. A good friendly race series using lots of muscle and classic cars from that era.

This is layered in Photoshop of course.

I do have an old GT 350, I just don't have any solo shots of it on the Mount! I will get some though!

 

[ScotteDawg]

@GBO Possum - I will have to revise what I said about saving replays... Now, it could be my PS3 but, I've started getting lock-ups on Mount Panorama off-line as well as on-line! I did hear that it could also have something to do with the disc itself in that Bathurst is a favourite all over the world and, because it gets used a lot, the disc wears on the spot on the disc where Bathurst is. This has been causing room shut-downs!

I'm not sure if there is a patch PD can give the game but if there is I sincerely hope they put it in to play!!!

I have three disks, so I can try swapping them around to see if it makes a difference. Disk wear sounds like a long shot IMHO.

Yeah, it was something an English guy said in a room last night. I was the only one to get frozen though. Maybe I should actually take the disc out of the machine and clean it every once in a while...

This is two photos put together!
