Hi there

Are there already any experiences with the used car cycles for the PAL version? I had seen an FAQ, which stated that the Audi S4 (98) will be on sale in week three. This is the car, which I wanted to use for the Beginner Series. So I spent the first two weeks doing licenses and when I checked the dealer, there was no S4 at all.

Now I am doing a lot of silly stuff, like specal condition racing, licenses etc., but I would really like to start racing with the old S4. Can anybody give me some guidance, when it will be available?

Thanks,
Mustrum

Given that the PAL version isn't out yet, no.
 
Yes, it's not supposed to be out yet, but there are people who allready claim to have it ... (not just amar212)
 
Here in Switzerland, GT4 PAL is officially available since March 3. Most mail order shops have sent it to their customers already on march 2, so that they can play it starting March 3.

So I have bought a completely legit copy. :)

No piracy, no modded PS2, just 89 Swiss Francs.

:D

In that case, you can do us a Used Car Cycle spreadsheet.. :D
 
Has any more work been done to this?
Has anyone else started one that is more complete?

I'm thinking about doing one for the NA release, but I want to play a little more before I start it. lol. (just got it about 2 weeks ago and I work a full work week so I haven't played much.)

I have started one in preparation for updating the QRG to an NA version. I have gotten through the first seven rotations (in about a 2 days), and so far I have seen 212 unique used vehicles.

I am recording all the given data and then buying the cars to get their actual garage HP. In the end, all the data will be displayed in a Car Detail screen that will replace the simple screenshots.

That is pretty impressive work. How long does it take you to do a cycle? I'm doing a bare minimum list and it still takes my about half an hour per cycle

I would think it is probably taking me about 30-45 minutes per cycle. Unfortunately, I have not had much time to work on this in the last few days. Below is the Excel attachment with info in for the first 8 rotations.

You will notice that not very many cars have there garage power yet. That is due to the advance of the date with every car purchase. I can only purchase 7 cars per rotation.

The power and torque details on the used car's "buy" screen is identical to that when they arrive in the garage. Thus you don't need to actually purchase the cars.

You and I need to get our heads together, BTW. I've noted some drastic power and weight differences in the PAL release compared to the NTSC/J. Have you found anything like that in NTSC/NA? Many of the Eunos Roadsters/Miatas/MX-5s have different weights and the Primera 2.0 Te has a 40kg difference between the two versions.

(I'm on Week 3 of the PAL list now).
 
Well, that will make things a bit easier for me. I had not noticed that the numbers on the buy screen were accurate. Thanks.

As for the weight differences, I will double check those and let you know.

I also noticed that I left out any mention of colors on my list. I will add that.

Wow your list is much more detailed than mine

http://www.people.ku.edu/~sprice/GT4usedcars.html

But I just want something that is good enough to tell me where to find the car and if it is a 6.2 mileage car
 
Can someone post the list up plz in a rich text file I tryed both zip files and non work for me in any of my programs.
 
Famine,

So far every Miata I have come across (through rotation 10) has had a different weight from the NTSC/J version. Also, the Mazda 323F/Lantis Coupe 2000 TypeR had a 40 kg difference.

I have not gotten to the Primera yet.
 
we need a list for wheels too, maybe a master list that shows an onging history with opened tracks, second hand cars and wheels etc... what else changes by date?

Thanks for all the hard work I wanted to use the list to find when the right colour of my real life car shows up... anyone else doing that?
 
Not inside the first 8 weeks, that's for sure. Yes, I'm doing a PAL list as well... :D Watch this forum for a PAL Used Car Lists thread...

dbarrade - I'm not doing colours yet. It would be easy, I guess, to write "white", "blue", "yellow" and suchlike, but many cars come with a wide variety of, for example, blues. On the second pass I'll have enough money to buy the cars and put the colour names on the list. Until then, I'm not bothering.

TVR&FerrariFan - There's free, downloadable Excel viewers. Try http://www.download.com.
 
JKrobby's list seems pretty well set up.
Tornado, what do you think about you and I and Robby get together on Teamspeak or a chat room and try to figure out how we can all work together and get this thing done fast and clean? Ya'll can PM me.

Famine...... good job on the PAL Used Car cycle list...... but I can'ty find it now could you add it to the begining of this thread?

Cheers!
 
Hey Famine,

I was thinking about doing a PAL listing, then I heard you've started one. I was wondering, are you interested in sharing the load at all, and if so, give me a time period to start working on and explain how you'd like it set out. :)

Last I saw you were on the 8th week - one of my save files is on the 22nd week or so, so I'm going to start work on that in the morning (about 8 hours from now).

Either way, good luck and soforth :)
 
Week 35 now.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm one of those weird people that doesn't believe anything unless I've seen it myself. I'm doing the list to satisfy my own curiousity, although kamikazekoala is filling in the colours for me.
