[RaY29rus]

Yep, you can download a real map and draw over it.

There is a russian text everywhere, but whatever.

Green areas - forest, red - mountains, blue - city

This is looking awesome.

Confirmed for best thing since sliced bread!

Holy WHAT??????

Excellent to see that function. I'm curious how much control there is with elevation, though, as that really makes or breaks replicas.

There's also the issue of Yas being an awful track.

OMG. I. Just. Pooped.

Stick it on some neat elevation features and it might turn into something passable.

Kudos to PD, the Course Maker looks way better than I assumed it was gonna be.


👍

 

[Spitfire77]

All this info.. and I am over here just wondering if I will be able to create 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 mile dirt ovals.

 

[sparkytooth]

I want to make something on Death Valley right now

 

[bremics]

I'll play Devil's Advocate for a second.

What's gonna stop me from making a penis-shaped track? Or perhaps a swastika of trees? I feel like the only thing that will ruin the Course Maker is the bad eggs in the community.

Personally, I for one welcome all the penis tracks. Long and short, straight and curved, the size of the dual ovals, perhaps two half ovals.

Just imagine Monza mirrored against its self.

 

[NixxxoN]

No, the course maker looks like it'll be a bit cooler than I thought, but I'll wait and see what can actually be done with it.

I don't think 60fps is a realistic expectation either. I said it would be a dream come true. I already do run the game at 720p...

hahahahahhaha yep. sure

 

[Suzumiya]

If you work around the compatability, then it might be pretty cool.

Or drags. 1000M dessert track anyone?

Dont care if the cheapest or the most expensive mobile phone, i dont give a .... about these new mobile devices.
I have an 7 year old SonyErisccon C510 where the battery lasts 8 days. Never changed it and happy with it.
How much the battery lasts on today phones. 1 day if you dont touch it, am i right???

No, you are wrong. 3-4 days if you don't touch it(S4 Active). You get roughly the same call time as on older phones. If you need more than that, you can get an extended battery pack and it'll last a week idle.

I also have normal phone calls when I press something. If your calls were abnormal, you should probably get it repaired.

 

[Huks]

No idea why people are so worried about penis-shaped tracks when the Willow Springs Raceway Big Willow circuit has been in the game since launch.

 

[Rafael F]

Is it possible to create point to point stages? What about dirt and snow surfaces?

 

[Tornado]

Wasn't a companion app part of the deal from the beginning? I recall some sort of news about it before the game even released.

Check out some screen shots. There is an option for complete tracks.

No, vabbé, spettacolo.
Ciao ragazzi, I'm gonna lock myself at home for all autumn and winter

Yeah, the GPS app.

 

[trustjab]

I like Yas Marina, it just needs less 90 degree angles, elevation and some nice 'eifel' scenery to be awesome.

[RacingPanda]

From what we've seen, it looks like the elevation depends on the section of the setting you're setting your track in, meaning you probably won't be able to adjust the elevation yourself, only choose where you want to set it. I hope I am wrong, though.

But still mine last 4 days more... nevermind.
Back to coursemaker...
Well if you create a track on your phone and upload it to psn..
Well then it simply has to be in the game all the textures,buildings etc...
In the end you will drive the created track in GT6, not on the phone.
So i hope you will be able to make the track in the game, since you will drive it there

 

[RaY29rus]

We can create "sprint" and straight "drag" stages. "It seems" asphalt only.

 

[Suzumiya]

In the Yas Marina picture, I wonder what the mountains icon on the side are for.

That's probably really useful if you're often in a situation where there is nowhere to charge your phone for 4 days straight, and you have no spare pockets for a wallet-sized portable charger that can give you 6 more days.

I think you should just relax and wait until the game update is here. If there's no way to make a course in game, then you're free to be as angry as you'd like.

 

[Denezin]

I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to try this out!!!!!!!

@RaY29rus I think you and your russian friends won the internet today!
Congratz, and thanks!
