World Event - 650pp Fuji - Ferrari F40 / R Tires Only :00 & :30

This update was 100% Grade A Garbage. Thank You PD.

Well, there is another thread moaning about the update already. But, I have to say, so far I'm in agreement with drama-kyd on this one. The cars feel extremely "arcade" even in pro physics. Much more arcade-like than GT4 even. I do think things might have been a bit too difficult before the update, but, at least so far, this "sim" now feels too much like a "game".

The Ford GT (road car) is a prime example. It has gone from a monster of power and finesse (but, probably too hard to drive), to a ludicrously easy-driver (definitely too easy to drive). I can just stomp the pedal down now in nearly any situation. That's just plain wrong. Yeah, before the update you practically couldn't touch the gas at all until you had her completely straight, but this is just silly! Isn't there something between "absurdly hard" and "way too easy"? And, if we have to choose between the two, then too hard is much, much better than too easy!

I do appreciate that the insane amount of snap-back has been reduced a little, but that is the only thing I've seen so far that I've actually liked.

But, most disturbingly, there were a lot of drivers out there tonight driving horribly and yet keeping up with the pack. Totally off the racing line, sliding all of the place, doing random spins, and yet somehow still in running. I'm not sure that's a good thing.

I'm hoping that in a week or two I'll come around and learn to like it. Hope hope hope...

I too have noticed the wildest of drivers can still keep up with the cleanest drivers. However it breaks out slowly as usually after the 1st lap or during the second half of 2nd Lap.

I love the sound the engines at the start

Anybody racing?

Nobody in the chat

The races at Fuji are full with lag.
The cars are shaking and bumping all over the place.
I saw this in every race I did,so is that a problem more people noticed or is just me.

 

[Chadwicksracing]

I never saw lag. Either its your connect or you just have bad bad luck with hosts. lol

Even if it wasn't laggy you'd be punted for position anyways. Lots of greedy people there..

 

[Sjaak]

I did make it worse then it is,
what I wanted to say was that the cars around me, are not smooth racing.

Sometimes they are very near but the next second a few carlenghts away.

Perhaps i got unlucky with a JP host but annoying it is for sure,

And I don't even want to mention the racing qualities of the racers.
That is done in almost every thread now

 

[Fujiwara-kun]

I have small lags not really that bad but endurable.

Wow thats bold from a GTP racer at the final straight...
No names but he/she nearly took me out...then blocked my draft as they swerved everytime I wanted to draft...

You know hwo you are


btw the player met system is s*** it doesnt have the racers you want to talk or add. I havent Had one GTP member on players met...

It isn't just you. I also see a lot of drivers "teleporting" all over the place on Fuji 750pp. Doesn't seem to be a problem so much on Daytona Oval 600. This was not a problem before the update except on rare occasion.

My connection is fine.

Is everyone still going on the 10's (:00, :10, :20, etc) or did we switch to the 12's (:00, :12, :24, :36)?

Maybe it's just a slow day, but I've only seen a few GTPers out there.

Same here. I went to race and I was the only one with a tag...

There were a few Sutil racers at the time.

I'm having some success with the Amuse. I must've won 10 races already. Most of the Japanese drivers are very cool. I've managed to go side by side through the whole final complex (from the first chicane hairpin) with one of them, and no contact. First time that's ever happened.

 

[Tomf4i03]

im on the 00 10 20 30 40 50 etc

Who is sapporo_rainbow of Japan and is he any good? Just raced him at Fuji, he used a GT-R and I the road going Ford GT. With an extra lap or 2 I felt I could have beaten him, but we were more or less running the same lap times. I ask, because despite the fact I kept up with someone, I finished 2sec behind him, and then 3rd place was another 6sec behind me. He did a 5'04 and I a 5'06. Is that good?

 

[JPS]

both good times, quickiest ive been up to now, not raced much still finding too many punters 5.00.xxx and quickest ive seen 4.58xxx

That looked a good time to me Holden, from 3 places behind you. Well done with the GT 👍

A quick question does anyone else experiance their G25 going into full lock on it's own during the race count down? it also does a wierd shimmy when i'm stationary with my foot on the brake.

it's only done it since the update

i'm running 10's but hav'nt seen a single tag all day

 

[Fujiwara-kun]

How do you get the time listed when you have finished the race?

In my PAL version you cross the line and only get what car used, PP and Player name thats all...

It only appears on certain definitions, mostly HDTVs I think. (just like the zoom button only appears on SDTVs).

This happens with my DFP on standing start events. 👎

 

[Dazzla]

Yay! They brought back the Fuji 750pp, my favourite race! Setup some races for tonight guys, I'll be ready in my GT-R.
