Ah so those wheels did affect the gear ratios?

Um-not sure about that 1 mate.

Forgot to say about setting to default and adjusting the top speed at the bottom to 112mph Iirc.

A little lift just before you apex the right hander-but the 1st sector is my downfall-I always lose all of my time there :grumpy:
 
About all these "elitistic" comments I´ll just remember everyone about one of the common complaints people have about GT5, the realism of racing cars and racing tyres physics is not on the same level of the realism stock cars and sports and confort tyres physics offer. And lets put this to rest.👍
 
Numbnuts and Dynamite thanks for the tips guys. What with my kids hogging the TV I won't be able to have another go until weds but I'm determined to get in the top 1000 at least on this one. I'm really enjoying the way this car handles.

With setup I was using(not my tune) the final ratio was nearly all the way to the left-2.260ish - and it was changing up to 6th gear just as the car made the little jump,just before turn 1.

All the other gears were spread evenly on the graph except for 1st and 2nd which were all the way to the left.

Doing 126mph on the line,127mph with a really good exit out of the last turn.

Sorry for being a bit vague-not able to remember the ratios exactly.

Wheels were the Volks ones all the way to the right in the menu.

Hope this helps 👍

Am I right saying that in your posted tune, yellow car I believe, your default gear box was set at 118mph and posted ratios set from there and that your improved time, pink car, a friends tune had default box at 112mph, as I managed to replicate your posted tune's box ratio's at 118 with stock wheels

Yep-exactly bud. 👍

Except that the yellow car is a dupe of the Pink car-just repainted.
 
I don't think its fair to call IMMORTALPILOT elitist.
I agree with him. People in the top 2500 shouldn't use driving aids (unless they use stick or PSP). People shouldn't start switching aids on to get into the top 10, yes they can its their choice, but it shouldn't be the norm to just start turning aids on if the car/track combo is difficult.
This is my opinion and because i'm not in the top 10 people will either ignore my comments or tell me to go away untill i am in the top 10 or no.1.
This is why its not fair to call IMMORTALPILOT elitist because he hasn't said anything for a long time, it was only until recently that he spoke out. So really hes damned if he does and damned if he doesn't so to speak.
Are people a bit sensitive about his comments because they are affraid of falling down the ladder with out driving aids?
I do agree that people should be able to use driving aids to learn tracks our to counter for devices other then steering wheels, but i'll refer you to this link about trusting your brain:
http://www.mygranturismo.net/article.php?id=103

Your brain can do what it needs to do, you don't need driving aids, you don't need the navigation map, you don't need the speedo. About the only thing you do need is the gear selector display because you can't pop you hand down and feel which gear your in. Keep your eyes up and watch the corners coming, don't get distracted by other data, if you do then your always going to struggle.

For the record i drive with nil aids what so ever, but i'm not overly bothered by people that use 1 abs because it seems to be considered the norm for some reason. Of all the people that use no driving aids 95% still seem to use 1 abs for some reason? It doesn't bother me though because if you watch IMMORTALPILOT's ghost in the current time trial you can still see him going into turn 1 sideways under breaking. ABS 1 doesn't make a driver no.1 but some of the other aids will depending on the car and track combo.

All i use is abs 1, end of the day its a game if the assists are there then they're there
 
You know, this whole aids debate is really getting old. Almost every time trial when have to go through this. Who cares if aids are used or not. If its within the rules to use them, then there's not a damn thing wrong with using them. Its not cheating regardless of what you think. This is only a game, played by hardcore and casual gamers alike. I don't think its right to tell the less skilled players that they have to drive like the more skilled players do. This is just a game that is far from realistic.

Oh, and for the record, no, I'm not being overly sensitive about this because I'm afraid of falling down the ladder. Thats just ridiculous. I'm speaking out about it because it really pisses me off when the top drivers start coming off like their crap don't stink and think that everyone else has to subscribe to their ways of playing this game. Thats bullcrap.
 
Maybe there should be a part of the game just for all of the IMMORTALS & Aliens. Oh wait then they would be complaining about each other to us. Get a life it is just a
game.
 
I didn't say driving aids should be against the rules. Perhaps you should read my post in full before posting prematurely.
PS i was only sabre rattling CargoRat :-) i just wanted to excite everyone, because as a driving community we should progress.
 
Down to a 2:16 and some change on the cape ring. mid 700 placement overall. Still interior view and no assists. May try a different car.

I was not particularly speaking to you, hence the reason I did not quote you.

@mike: good job with the interior view. I could never really get a good grasp on driving in that view, still practicing it tho. Also well done with no assists.

Thanks man. I should have put the go pro on my feet. It would have looked nuts using the clutch, doing heel toe downshifting and switching left foot to brake when need be...felt pretty real.

Best way to get a grasp on the interior view is pick a track you know and like,find a premium car with good wide interior view and turn EVERYTHING off so you only see the inside of the car and what's outside the window and set it to wide view and no map give it some time and you'll get a good feel for it. Lately I'm not sure what update changed it but I feel like speed is portrayed better now in the interior view.

Alright my friend, thanks for the advice. I'll give it a shot.
 
Thats it for me in this tt.

Be off the internet ps3-wise for an unknown period.

Good luck people.

I know one of the fellas in the top ten on a 24.6 is running 8/6 spring rate and a 35/65 diff split.
 
My final times for this TT are:

2:14:931 on Cape Ring (currently #364)
1:26:306 on Deep Forest (currently #284)

My aim was to finish in the top 500 for once and I have good hopes to make it.
I am pretty happy with my times just using a standard PS3 controller with directional buttons for steering. :)
 
IMMORTALPILOT
Beat my time when you are that fast.
I understand when people need aids.
But the top 20 Guys only use it to drive faster with it.
And aids are for not skilled drivers, not for skilled drivers.
The aids should be are banned for top 20.
I must use ABS1 because without ABS i dont can drive in top10.
But i never use this Active Steering.
I drive Tony Kart and i know with Active Steering thats no Racing and i can say this very good.

M8 is not a problem, just give me your setup and i'll try to beat you... Currently 16th with 2.09.7xx.... With active steering and i'm satisfy... Show your setup and i'll made 2.08.... Promise you ;) ciao pablo
 
Had some fast times on cape ring only to get them red flagged over the jump :( What bugs me is that i have successfully cleared the jump at 247kph and at other times been red flagged at 220kph :( I did find that if you turn the rear wing down a couple of notches the nose stays down better, but then you suffer a little on other parts of the track.
 
I gave up in the bottom 2:16's somewhere in the 600's overall. Im happy with the time considering I didn't do any crazy tunes, no assists or abs and shifted with the clutch.
 
GTP_CargoRat
Once again, another elitist statement that just doesn't make sense. You can't just ban aids for the top drivers, thats just ridiculous. Everyone has to play by the same rules. And if aids are for unskilled drivers, why the hell are you using them then. If you are so skilled, you should be able to crack the top 10 without ABS 1. And need I remind you, this is a game, not real life. Come down off your elitist pedistal, join the rest of us and have fun with the game and these time trials for what they are....just friendly competition.
