Time Trial Discussion

[GT_Tuga]

I think the focus will be fun, I'm actually quite "meh" about spa in Gr3 as it's has featured heavily in dailies recently.

Yep, me too.
I'm totally "focusing" on the Focus and the NSX... because Gr.3 at Spa isn't really earth-shattering anymore, and besides we already had a TT just like that a few months ago... it's getting a little overused IMO.

Sure I'll be participating in every single one of them, but when it comes to Time Trials I very much prefer driving road cars over racing machines.

(thou I'm still waiting for a TT with the recently added Mercedes... 👀)

About the white veil on the videos shared to Youtube, with a big help from @BWX and @Chris30's ingenuity, I found a way to upload faithful image quality videos via the share function.

BUT...

you need to put those video settings :

• HDR off
• Deep colour off
• RGB space limited
• Resolution 1080p

And this settings for video capture :

• 1080p
• MP4 format

Then record your replay.

And now when shared on Youtube, they won't have the white veil.

We'll keep looking how to upload in 4K (HDR if possible), but that's a way to do it without resorting to capture card or video editing/enconding on PC before uploading to Youtube.

Sorry to ask if that was already mentioned, but these settings I should have them for playing GT7 or should I have them this way only when recording the replays?

If so, then it's a case of switching those settings back and forth every time I decide to record and share something?

Edit: For context, that's my Red Bull Jr lap at Barcelona, gameplay and recording were done with HDR off.


This Viper lap at Autopolis is somehow weird to me. It seems to be too bright and too colorful, kind of with a white veil like @Lomic mentioned. Maybe it is the HDR thing?


Thanks in advance, folks.

I was doing some testing today, driving on the TV for the first time in ... I don't know, 5-6 months maybe? Since I got the VR2 it was exclusively VR2 driving, not a single lap was completed I think on the telly. But since I got the new GT3 wheel, I just wanted to admire it while driving

And out of pure boredom I fired up the Junior TT which I really really didn't want to do, I cannot digest a single corner of this Catalunya layout

And about 200km later, we got somewhere

It was a refreshing experience driving in 2D Many many apexes were missed by a mile at the beginning, but I got the hang of it in the end. Looking at the sector times, I believe a 1:44.700 is doable, it all depends on the atrociuos chicane and the random bouncing, if it lands correctly, then it's doable, if it doesn't, and it usually doesn't, then no... We'll see, I may give this one more session and I'm done, won't be competing for high places here for sure.

My goal at the start of my session last night was to get in to the 45's and I did just that. My middle sector wasn't great but who cares? It's the number at the end that matters.

I don't even have HDR turned on. It looks like crap to me.

@skydragon49 : you can switch back and forth, you only need to be in those "default" settings while recording your replay.

@BWX yes I think I'll try other tests to see if better results with less hassle can be obtained
