The quesiotn was:

Did you map them to different buttons then map them back again to the orginal buttons?

No need to act like a 9 year old kid - just answer the question that the adults who offered to help asked.

Based on your temper and raging I kind of hope your gamesave never gets fixed, think of it as peotic justice for the raging toddler.

It is always ahoot to watch "raging lunatics" on the interwebs who dont even bother putting their locaiotn in the visable profile - says a lot abotuthe person and their personality. Behind the anonimity of the interwebs they are all rage and anger - even while they ask for help. No-one wants to help a raging todler.

Take it down afew notches and act like an adult and youwill be amazed at the help and assistance that could be forthcoming. :)

OK your not getting it...

And im sure the AUP doesn't condone that kind of name calling.

Typical GTP FANBOY know it all member.. try reading and then TRY ( hard as it might be )to understand what you have read.

IT IS NOT THE BUTTONS OR THE MAPPING... got it this time ??

I have already answerd that question several times now..

Think your post deserves reporting.👍

"You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack any individual or any group"
 
I'm in the same boat, I can't control the TCS from the menu, which is a bit of a 🤬 considering all the cars come with it on. :ouch: I don't know how to fix it, and it was fine before 1.05

You are the one raging, why report me? So we have established that you have remapped the controls to different buttons and then saved that gamesave, then remapped the buttons back to the orginal buttons and the option still doesn't work?

Is this correct?

Now, you have stated that a new game save does not display this behaviour?

Is this correct?

Well to throw a little damper on your PD raging, I dont have the same wheel as you, I have a G25 and a Fanatec GT2, and I am able to use the REALTIME RA options when mapped to a DS3.

So - again, I will ask if you have tried to map the RA buttons to a DS3 and of the options are still not functioning when you try enable the RA function with a DS3 contorller?

The reason I am asking, is because it cold be a temporary corruption in your gamesave that could be repaired by forcing the game to rewrite that section of the save.

See, again, getting angry with filks offering suggestions does nothing except raise your blood pressure.

Try going through life (and GT Planet) wuth less rage and you may not only get the help you seem to be asking for, but also get polite feedback - unless you didnt really want to solve the problem and just wanted to anonymously rage in public. :)

That is the issue my friend.

Trying to figure out exactly what is going on here, I do not believe there is anyway to fix this issue, but now more to try and understand exactly what PD are trying to do.

Some folks are not having this issue, which just makes it all the more wierd.

Is it meant to be like this in 1.05 and people who aren't having the problem had a patch problem.

OR we the ones who have got the problem, and this was not meant to be in the patch having the problem..

Who knows ...

I dunno, but I'm going to try what the guy above you said and remap them and try again. I'll post back when I'm done.
 
Northeast USA

TCS/ASM Greyed out A-Spec Life and Online

Mapped to a Dual Shock (R1 + directionals)

Torque splitting still works, as that's when I noticed it. It's not that big of a deal but it was nice to have on longer races where you are destroying your tires.

Thanks for the info

Its not a huge deal, but it does pose a bit of a pain when your on a weather change race , would be nice to up the TCS for rain.

Its more the not knowing if this is now the correct way GT5 is meant to be.. or not..

Do me a favour...

Just leave it

Go find something better to worry about..

Try chasing yourself... thats usually a good way to pass time.

On that note.. I cant be botherd with arguing on here.. there's just no need.

It's broke.. nobody know's if its meant to be or not.. nobody knows how to fix it.. guess i'll wait for the next patch and hope PD may have seen this thread.
 
I'm having the same issue, and I usually use the ds3. Always worked fine before the patch. Not the wheels issue at all. They'll fix it, I'm sure.

U MAD bro?
 
OK PLEASE MODS LOCK THIS THREAD

Time to call it a day there I think...

So - did you try what I suggested? I mean you came asking for help - and I just told you what I did to fix mine. Yes that's correct Mr Anger Management - I had the same issue you had - RA worked before and then was greyed out at some time - cant really tell if it was before or after the patch.

But, after I forced the game to rewrite the game save settings by changing them and exiting the menu and then resetting them back to the DS3 it started working again - it might even work for you, who knows.

I have to wonder, do you always get bent out of shape when you ask for help and people offerit but you think you know what they are suggesting ahead of time but in the end turn out being incorrect?

I was just offering a possible solution, one that in fact worked for me - and all you did was rage. :)

There, now the mods can lock the thread ;)
 
I don't understand if you can change TCS on the fly in a real car. If you can't do it in real life, pretty pointless to do it on a wheel and I'm not sure you can do it via DS3 either.

If you map the controls to the DS3 you can. It is quite useful actually - a bit of a cheat in some tests and special events, you can override the default ASM on :)

Traction control can usually be disabled in real cars by pressing a button. And some cars allow you to adjust the sensitivty. An example would be the E46 M3 Competition Package which allows you to choose between all off, normal and "track mode"
 
Im having the exact problem and im using a ds3. I believe this bug happens when you are in a online lobby and the host does not allow tcs asm and then somehow when you have left the game its as if your not allowed to use tcs and asm because in that lobby you was in it was not allowing tcs so it saves to your offline as well.
 
And probably your right, could anyone please check going to an online lobby with no restrictions, log out and check later in A-Spec?

I have exactly the same issue and it is very annoying, I started playing with no ABS (Brake at 0) as I cannot stand ASM, the behaviour of the car is so much different.

I'd check it by myself but you know where I am? At work...
 
Here's a video I took. As you can see, I joined the Sunday Cup at the Beginner's Series. TCS and ASM are both greyed out. Brake bias and ABS can still be adjusted.

Game is doing you a favour people, you do not need those aids, you're killing the meaning of this game with them..

what? most of us typically don't use them. And even if we did,
that's not the issue here.

The issue is that a function that was once present in the in-race menu options (whether or not I used it) is no longer adjustable.

If it is intentional on PD part, so be it. Doesn't affect me much.

Unfortunately, the fact that it is still there for some and not for others, points to it being some kind of bug.

I don't know about you, but, I prefer features to work correctly. Whether I plan on using them or not.

If you're playing 24 hour race, or maybe 1,000 mile on Suzuka. Over power race car with TCS = 0. I can control the car just fine, but if it start raining, I will love to put upper TCS to 3 or so. I would love to see you try 24 hours, put about 18 hours in, then it start raining and you started spinning around with TCS = 0. then lost with 12th place. that will piss you off for sure. this is why it need to be come back.

like i've say many time, 1.05 mess up with save data, if you start new game, it work just fine.

Yeah I'm convinced it has something to do with the recent update. It is probably affecting more people than they realize because many people either don't use a DFGT or don't have RA function mapped on their controller.

I've tried clearing my cache and a few other things. Nothing has worked so far.
