That's another tenth down only to find out that both @Evilmuffin and @crome have acquired alien DNA and move up significantly. Well done. I'll be baaack.
Wow, that's an excellent placement if you drove over 100 miles, kudos to ya!! Lol, Jeddah is the master of records.I did half a lap in the McLaren this evening. That was enough to tell me I wasn’t going to enjoy Suzuka this time out 😂
Switched over to the KTM and what fun! 100 miles later and there’s a 24.9 in there somewhere…

I hope my bit of sarcasm came through here. I'm not one that believes a wheel, MT and more time would give me alien-skills.I don't want to fly to close to the sun. Somewhere up there is a point where i would give a (too big amount of) ****.![]()
From personal experience, it does not matter whether you use a wheel or controller. You can be equally consistent on both.I hope my bit of sarcasm came through here. I'm not one that believes a wheel, MT and more time would give me alien-skills.![]()
Appreciate the vote of confidence Chris!I'm confident that you will, good luck mate!!
Not on my watch they won't.
2.36% is a pretty safe Gold at this stage. You can rest easy on your vacation and come back to a nice 2M Credits!I am leaving tomorrow on a short vacation and I don't want to give another thought about Suzuka!No more VGT TT please!
Thanks again to everyone here - this thread is the best!!
I completely get that. But I'm not at a point where i want to seriously advance. I play mostly without audio as it's probably some time where the baby (hopefully) sleeps.From personal experience, it does not matter whether you use a wheel or controller. You can be equally consistent on both.
However, auto transmission definitely hinders your progress.
Switching to manual is well worth your effort.
Daunting at first, but it will become second nature.
The solution is a set of wireless headphonesI completely get that. But I'm not at a point where i want to seriously advance. I play mostly without audio as it's probably some time where the baby (hopefully) sleeps.
I say to myself that in some years, when i have time and space for a wheel i will learn MT. But for now it's just too cosy as it is.
Happy lapping at Road Atlanta!
There is simple solution if you want to tryI play mostly without audio as it's probably some time where the baby (hopefully) sleeps.
So @Barareklam's solution solved your issue. Use the controller with wired earphones. You use one earbud for the audio and you leave either your left/right ear free for sounds from the environment around you.Thanks but there is a point where you guys got me wrong. ;-) I play without sound to hear the baby in case. :-) Loved to play with Headphones.
Did you try that for a longer period of time? I tried it and it's not for me. Even if i didn't hate in ears, only hearing one side of stereo is weird. You hear the car behind you right of you but not left and so on. Doing that to hear the motor you need at least medium volume and that i don't like one sided.So @Barareklam's solution solved your issue. Use the controller with wired earphones.

Have never tried it while gaming as I use headphones. Makes sense that the audio would be weird as you wont be getting that surround sound effect.Did you try that for a longer period of time?

Edit: thanks for all the advice but I'm good! :-)
Not quite. I noticed after a session last night where I improved, it didn't make my replay available, despite me physically saving best lap.And thanks PD for saving all ghosts now
EVO was fun, but Redbull Ring wasn't! RA is definitely better, track wiseIf I had to pick I'd say the Evo edges it for more time fun.
For driving fun the track day toy is awesome, although having driven a few radicals I'd expect a tad more from the front of the KTM. But it's a TT I will sweat 😝
Edit:
It's interesting the tracks they pick for the combos. I'd have thought a twistier circuit would have suited the KTM more especially with the longer straights at RA
I actually made that livery and will share under my PSN later todayI like that livery a lot. Gonna look it up...
Smart move really. I (re)learnt a lot of "basic" skills like racing lines, trail braking, carrying speed into corners, weight transfer and maximizing corner exit in this TT after months of driving Gr.3/4s in Dailies and I am sure you will benefit from this TT more too (vs. the McLaren VGT one).I feel like I need to just ditch the Suzuka TT and just move on to the Atlanta KTM X-bow one. I'm not wasting time and going through all that stress just to get tiny improvements and still end up getting bronze, so I quit. I hope my 1'45.854 time holds for bronze. That's enough. I just bought a X-bow a few minutes ago and I'm fixing to paint it and design it in the customization shop. What color should I use and what decals should I represent in it?
I have noticed that your ghost was not saved for some reasons, but also Gomarios and Evilmuffin ghost were not there for one of sessions than they appeared with new lap times. I guess there is some bug PD needs to sort out with that ghost saving.Not quite.

I suspect it is because I very rarely do more than one lap in a row, and almost never more than two, for most TTs. That exiting and restarting when I make a mistake or get a red time must affect it. Not sure why they can't do it though, given it is still available for saving at the end of my session, which means it must sit in limbo somewhere while I'm still doing more laps.
You're welcome!I have noticed that your ghost was not saved for some reasons, but also Gomarios and Evilmuffin ghost were not there for one of sessions than they appeared with new lap times. I guess there is some bug PD needs to sort out with that ghost saving.
And btw, you and your rocketman, I could not get out song out of my brain for two days, was constantly singing it haha 😂
The same thing happened to me, I should be able to upload all the replays in my friends board but all it says is view profile. So I still have to search in the tags. It's not a big deal, I was just pointing it out. PD apparently did not fix the bug 100%. Now we have to wait until the end of April.I have noticed that your ghost was not saved for some reasons, but also Gomarios and Evilmuffin ghost were not there for one of sessions than they appeared with new lap times.

That's because you try to see replay after you've entered. Go back out, then go into the event, then to rankings, then click on player with video icon showing and you'll see the replay is there.The same thing happened to me, I should be able to upload all the replays in my friends board but all it says is view profile.

No. You cannot playback a replay while in a driving session. You need to view it from the rankings board before you enter the event, as @half_sourly says.Ahhh, okay it did it for the X-bow TT but not the Mclaren VGT. I think that was before the recent update. I bet you that's why.
Yes!, really struggled yesterday to improve my time and it was the last day available for me...2.36% is a pretty safe Gold at this stage. You can rest easy on your vacation and come back to a nice 2M Credits!
Same for me - I almost skipped this TT. You are faster than me so I know you can get gold here! Good luck!Kind of dreading the McLaren, if I'm honest. Suzuka is a particularly weak track for me...
