I finally got my DFP in the mail today ($50 on eBay, lucked out)! Man, what a difference! So much more control...
I took the Spoon S2000 for a few laps on R246 with the DFP and it really makes a difference, the car is a lot more responsive but I am still not up to the task of racing with it. I will have to spend many laps relearning to race with the DFP. I was running from 5 to 12 seconds slower than my current lap time (and I am not even one of the fastest racers...).
Maybe I should just put the DPF aside until next week when I get GT4. From what I hear it people have to pretty much learn the new physics of GT4, so I might just throw in the DFP and make it a bit more challenging...
My wife got a kick out of it too, especially when I set up our spare computer desk (I kept it for a reason...), 17"TV (wishing for a big screen) and office chair into a "racing station".
...waiting for GT4...

If I knew we could've had another days racing I might of nailed this baby. Late last night I found a setup that was throwing out 36.1's !!!!!!! 
but I didn't even manage to find out what T2's it would've produced because I ran out of time. I Imagine 1'15's, that would've been awsome. 👍 👍

Too bad, Jerry
. What was your 'secret' about that setup? I've seen a 36.2 but that was an almost perfect 1st section...I only experimented with springs, camber, gears and downforce, I'm sure my setup can be improved significantly
Even with my setup the 1'15 was easy possible (in theory then
), so I'm sure you would have nailed that 1'15 and the race with some more time

I'll post the setup later 👍 I tried your settings but they didn't help none seeing that I'm a d-pad man, I suppose that was due to it being a wheel setup. However, the way I normally setup the tranny trick I couldn't reproduce your gearing for some reason, any ideas why? I don't think it would've made any difference using your setup but I really wanted to test your gearing with my setup but couldn't 
There was a noteable difference in your setup compared to mine but in some areas we had them set very close to each other, stabs, rear downforce, rebound, LSD Init and camber for example. When I can get on the PS2 I'll post them

I believe there are two ways for the tranny.
1)final all to the right.
auto all to the left.
2)final all to the right.
auto all to the right.
then auto all to the left.
But with both ways I couldn't get Hugo's gearing.
I'm very curious how he did that.

It's not an idea I support.hellnback
When GTPlanet was down for a whole week in september, then back on line, we had no news from Kent for a few days. So to keep people (and myself) busy, I created a week 80 ½ event (here) which didn't have much success.
If you want to keep yourself busy while Kent is offline, just take a look at some of the Mini Maniacs event (link in my sig), there's plenty to do.

Hmmmm
Where is he then?
Loox like we got some major problems somewhere down these wires...
Im hopin they all come back, Kent and the database and the forum overview info, but to me its obvious where they all went.
I mean, if YOU had GT4, where the hell would YOU be?

Jerry, have you tried 'reinstalling' the racing gearbox in the change parts section? When I wanted to adjust my gears after a test run, I simply couldn't because the gears became waaay longer then. I don't really get it, as it usually only happens when I needed to break in a car, but the Spoon is a price car...
Everytime I wanted to adjust my gears, I had to reset them by reselecting it in the change parts section. That should work 👍

for me to just reset the gears, i go to change parts and just click on racing suspension again, this seems to work the same as switching to something else then back again.
