The best record with controller (SixAxis/DH3)

[SrRd RacinG]

I'm using seven? just had a go with six, think it seems better but need to adjust myself to it.

For the tuned, put TCS on 0 and see how fast you go. If you don't like it, put it to 3. You want more power! Push the car to its limits because this is a hot lap time trial.👍

 

[G.T.Ace]

Thanks for feedback what you reckon manual gears will return in time, maybe
0.2 seconds or more? going to give manual a damn good go, again thanks.

That depends on you, i cant drive anymore with automatic, its around 1.5-2 seconds for me i guess. But thats just me.

I know i can do better.. I will i will! I'm just lacking the most important racing sense.. FEEL! I wish to be able to prevent oversteer not just correct it. Racing on the edge with a controller is hard! man i want a wheel. I see there are faster people with pads though, must feel great to string together all your best corners. I need to put more time in i think, not even had a go with standard Z yet!

 

[SrRd RacinG]

Damn, manual is better.

I jumped frm 137.887 auto to 137.675 with manual. Going to try to imrpove it even more.

ok, what the heck. ive stopped plating gt5 demo last few days but here are my control setup and lap times.

x-accelerate
square-brake
left analogue stick-left/right

times:
1.37.16x 1.49.373

3.26.53x

you really do need a wheel to be top 20 though, if you dont want to pull your hair out because of yoursef ruining laps because the controller isnt accurate enough.

1'36.5 with a controller is really ****ing awesome... I'm 1 sec behind you

Only ran the normal tonight, started out running constant 1:50's, now running constant 1:49's, got up to 35th in US with the normal car, shoved back to 188th for now on the tuned.

 

[Lotrzyna]

You guys are very fast.

My laptimes are:

Normal - 1'50.859

Tuned - 1'39.204

I'm using directional buttons for steering and X [] for gas and break.

Is there any chance for a patch enabling TCS change for normal car ?

 

[Feschka]

I'm using directional buttons for steering

This is really cruel, dood, why don't you use the left stick?

 

[Lotrzyna]

I can't get used to it and I find it very "strange" and uncomfortable ...

Oh well buy a wheel then, 1'39.2 with d buttons looks amazingly fast 👍

[sems4arsenal]

how many people then who don't use the wheel use the L2 and R2 buttons as throttle and brake i use the x button i don't know why and my combined time is 3:29:something

Tuned: 137.306

Manual using left stick for steering and right stick for throttle. Biggest obstacles for finding more time is Turn 7 and the stupid TC with the Normal car.

I first used X as gas and L2 as brake. Then I changed brake to L1. Now I use manual and use L2 as brake and R2 as gas. X shifts up and [] shifts down.


Edit: outlaw4rc, I have gas and brake set for R3 too....but I use right as gas and left as brake. I don't use it though during my laps...but it is available if I got bored of the triggers.

Right and left on R3? I don't think my thumbs can do that!

 

[Alan_G]

The reason I don't use the buttons for steering/throttle/brakes is because it requires a constant force. This can lead to repetitive strain injury if you play a lot. This is especially important with throttle, as you'll spend more than 50% on throttle per lap, and similarly for steering.

I use the analogue sticks because they are very light and don't provide much resistance.

 

[superb16]

I've only driven the tuned Z.

Steering: D-pad
Accel/brake: R2/L2
Tranny: Auto (for now)

1'38.3 in the tuned Z. I am going to try manual tranny with the X and square later.

 

[peester]

With 6-axis, manual(L2,R2), T/C: off, steering: left stick, acc. / brake: X / square buttons.

Tuned: 1'39.625

[tibiquera]

I'm using R2 and L2 and the d-pad for steering. So far my times are:
1:50.9 (manual)
1:38.2 (automatic, TC 8)

But I feel I'm hiting my limit. Some of those limits could be broken by using the analog stick, and less TC. But the problem is that I can't use the analog stick for racing games. Also I don't really know how standard transmission could help me with the tuned car because I have no idea how to improve the gear selection. I'm using a high TC because it cuts the oversteer and allows me to accelerate earlier. So I'd really appreciate some tips on how I could improve on those things, because I really believe I can do a better job.

Just so y'all know, TCS does not change. If you don't believe me set yours to 10 and then go do some donuts Like some of you said the normal car is set at 7 and cannot be changed but you can still smoke the tires for as long as you want 👎
