Does VR set work with a PS4 Pro or is it strictly PS5?

Does the original PSVR work with GT7 on the PS4 Pro? 🤔

VR on GT7 is only available on PS5 with the VR2.

The VR1 on PS4 only works on GT Sport, although I'm not sure if that still works after the server shutdown.

 

[Famine]

I have never used VR but only a few times back in 2014 when I was playing gt5. That's it. So, I do remember what it was like back then.

Took the Dino out for some more laps this evening and managed to shave 4 tenths off my time...

Sadly, still not in the gold. I've dumped entirely too much time into this one...it sucks not to get the 2 million.

You're so close tho and there's still time left. Maybe don't give up just yet and keep pushing a little more If you've managed to improve by such a huge margin of 4 tenths, there's bound to be even more 10ths to lose there.

Yeah I'll probably have to sink some more time into it of course. lol

(that 4 tenths wasn't all in the one session though. I'd managed to drop a couple of those tenths earlier in the day)

If you have a replay we can maybe try to give you some advice on where to find a bit of time? Although it's such fine margins with this short track of course, hard sometimes to see where to improve.

it’s the kisscool effect !!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe VR already existed on GT5 but it looked more like this :

🤣🤣🤣

I just had another crack at the Sardegna Dino TT, knocked another 0.3secs off my time, taking me to 1:06.388, but I just can't get any consistency on the first corner.

 

[Interemptor]

Yeah, that first corner is so hard to get right. I either lost 1s or gained a few tenths every lap 😂

 

[Homestead]

160 miles this morning. About 100 to find my groove then 30 more to start making <105 consistent.
Another tenth available based on my optimal times.
Also thanks for the suggestion @crome I switched CSA from weak to strong. about .3 better than my previous.

 

[ZevZoq]

Yeah I can definitely see how counter steer assist would help. Maintaining control in the Dino pretty much requires constantly twitching the wheel one way or the other for most of the lap! I'm a stubborn fool though and I want it all assist-free lol...other than weak ABS that is.

 

[Vule]

I set a 1:05.0xx with CSA on strong, it's definitely a much easier drive, at least you have much lower number of attempts, I don't really know if it slows you down, I remember using CSA strong on the Mustang TT with tuning on Laguna Seca and I had like 70th time in the world on my old account, so I think it doesn't affect the time so much

 

[BWX]

I have to catch up on this thread.
Golding it wasn't too bad for me using new wheel on flat screen. But I don't think I'm going to be bothering the top 2000 in this one even if I really try.
This car is so deceivingly tricky to go fast in, one little half mistake and lap is shot! Wobbly suspension is hard to tame.
I might have to bust out the PSVR2 and try again, it seems like better depth perception might really help here. 🤷‍♂️ Good challenge though! ✌

Very impressive, bravo!!
I'll give a try later.

It didn't have that much assist back thrn either, would have been a deathwish to yeeet it like we do on track 🤣🤣

I have no idea if it would be faster but I'm sticking with all off until everybody kills my time with it on 🤣🤣🤣

 

[330_D]

I go back and forth with CSA. I try not to use it but some cars just seem to need it for me. Haven't found the way it's fastest consistently at all for me with the Dino but weak is where my fastest time is. I'll try it stronger later. Most slidey cars seem to lose power on exit with it but that may just be my tail sliding style of driving too...

 

[Homestead]

This one hurt!

First, I really hope @KAlex122 is on holidays this week in the middle of nowhere without internet connection...

Everything is fine, Alex, everything is fine....

This afternoon, I had a very positive (short) session in Sardegna with Miss ballerina Dino-saur.

First improvement at 1:05.459 (-0.005 sec) but we agree, it's still an improvement.
Sector 1: 28.450 - My average score on T1.
Sector 2: 37.009 - A good T2, but with still some lack of bravery here and there.

Second improvement at 1:05.381 (1:05.371 for Alex....)
Sector 1: 28.549 - Sadly, my T1 was really medium, compares to my usual times here. 0.1 lost here (lucky you)...
Sector 2: 36.832 - A fantastic T7 with an excellent exit speed. And for once, the final turn right wasn't too much butchered.

I had several T2 under 37.xxx and that's a fantastic positive point (not for Alex). At the end, I've maybe gained only 0.083 on my previous PB but nearly 300 places in the overall ranking and mainly, a huge boost for the confidence. Clearly, I'm sure there's still some tenths to gain.

ATTACK!!!

300+ miles today! Having too much fun

 

[GlockPants]

Minor improvement today, but my optimal lap is in the Gold range.

Sector 1 is beginning to click, now to work on getting Sector 2 ...

Can I just say, I really appreciate the way you tackle these TTs. No dramas, no rush, just a steady and measured improvement with each session, from decent but unspectacular at the beginning to amazing times by the end. I like it!

Not on holidays but the little time i have i try to enjoy with getting as many old 580pp cars ready for the historic sports car events on the Nürburgring and Spa. Love those.

I can not promise not to come back to Sardegna. Right now it's a 50/50 chance that i would maybe find that masochist part of myself.

Most excellent time, great improvement.

I’m off now for a time finding mission. 😉

I have a ghost with miserable first sector but ends at a dead 16's
I leave it behind more than half a second but i never managed to take that ##$ last turn right and always $*#&$ up at the breaks , the line ,the whatever it takes .
Not a single time could hold the advantage i had and when i did ( when was far back ) wasn't enough for gold

Hope tomorrow to be another day 🥴 cause today is like that

By Jupiter, you could better!

Am not sure of that , as it goes, might need half a dozen of them 🤣
It's only 50 ? 70 meters ?

I've been late , early ,out , red , dead and everything else except the right way.

I'll check my horoscope next time I'll play it 😂

Thanks! This one has felt particularly challenging for me, too. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually, but my seat time has been split up with less focus on the TT's right now. On a short lap like this, I'm usually putting in 20-40 lap stints. I think over 3 days, I've done fewer than 35.

But tomorrow I think I'll have more time to work on it. I'd really like to have Gold before the new one drops.

It'll click.

I usually love these types the most but I don't really enjoy this one much haven't had a ton of time to put in either, and I've honestly really been enjoying the weekly challenges this week.. I've repeated them several times just for the fun of it.
