I have had problems logging in with IE8 since some PSN network maintenance a while back. Some error about parameters. I find that you can 't log in to 'GT5 My Home' with one ID if you are logged into PSN boards with another ID.
Coupla things... got an email from Sony announcing they are changing their name from SCEA to SNEA (Sony Network Entertainment America) and putting up a new Terms of Service agreement. Some discussion about having to log in and agree to new terms to keep accounts active. This all happens April 1. :hah-l You may experience connection issues. (Oh, great!)
No, I'm not making a joke. (Maybe Sony is.) I just passed along what I saw in the email from Sony PSN. When I attempted to log in this morning I hit a wall on two accounts. (Golfpro and UCan) The message said both "email accounts already existed". I simply took a deep breath and gave up.
The total car count is now up to 1048 according to gt.com.
Hmmm... Wonder what else got added? It was 1047 for the longest time...

Are they finally announcing MOVE support? I've been waiting patiently for a new wheel... (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/waiting2.gif)
From the info I can find, it is to patch that hole at the NudeBeachRing. Hope it didn't patch all the holes there.

I read that it fixed the glitch. Anyone find any new glitches?
Not sure if it's related to the update, but I've been having trouble logging in. Last night I went through the shut down ritual and tried to follow Infiniti's instructions to resetting by server numbers but soon got dazed and confused and backed out. No matter. The next time I tried it it let me in. This was about 10:30 last night.
This morning, I can log in as UCan but not my other accounts. I have just gone through the shut down procedure again (PS3, network router, and my modem) and am about to try the other accounts again.
And yes, the update apparently closes the entrance to Wonderland that was discovered on the 24-hour NBR. I used it once and know of no others at this time.

We know the modeling for most if not all these tracks already exist from previous versions. I imagine it's quite a task to bring them up to GT5 standards, but I think this suggests there are plans to expand the track listings in the future. GT6 strikes me as the likely candidate, although the might offer a new track or two for 'mo5 to keep it fresh.
I believe Midfield was marked as a major oversight in 5, and Infineon has always been a favorite of mine along with the Motegi Ring. Didn't Las Vegas serve as a drag strip? Charlie would love that.
I don't understand why Belgium has been snubbed. Maybe Kaz has never been there.
I don't understand why Belgium has been snubbed. Maybe Kaz has never been there.We have two great racing tracks. Zolder and Spa-Francorchamps. Both are in my opinion way nicer tracks than many of the ones GT5 has to offer. I can understand if people never heard of Zolder before, but Spa has been part of the F1 GP since 1950.

The thing I looked forward to most in GT5 was taking a Z06 at full blast through Eau Rouge...Eau Rouge / Raidillon flat out and then see how fast you can go on the Kemmel straight. Yeah.

any word on what it will entail?
Ooh. Don't know if this has been posted but... I learned from Ronin, that there is a glitch in the game, where the default track set by your lounge settings will not allow the tires to warm up. It can be fixed in 2 ways. 1 don't set the track your going to race as default. 2 simply change tracks, then change right back and problem solved.
Just FYI
Never noticed a problem in my lounge. Tires warm up in free-run or race...
My lounge is always slow and I usually set the track before hand. Tires do warm up a little in my lounge but not to full temperature. Ill check this out to see if it speeds up my lounge.
As announced, the latest version of Gran Turismo 5, v1.10, has just been made available for download. Here’s a complete list of changes and bug fixes:
Racing Gear Items
* New racing gear items consisting of helmets and suits have been implemented. These can be used by players in A-Spec, or for any of the “My Drivers” in B-Spec.
* There are plenty of variations to the racing gear items and, in addition to several sets being given out as presents when you start GT Mode, players will be able to win new ones when successful in online events. Players can also take a photo of their drivers wearing their favourite gear, and use that custom photo for a driver profile.
* For more details, please refer to “Racing Gear” under Top Menu - [Manual] – [GT Mode].
Special Online Event Campaign
* For a limited time, all event prizes will be tripled, and all cars appearing in the Online Collector’s Dealership will be brand new (0 mileage) and at half price.
Prizes for online events
* GT5 will now offer online events in which players can win Racing Gear items and cars as prizes, according to performance. The content of the prizes and the conditions for winning them will vary per event.
* Details of the various events are found in [GT Life] – [Online Events].
Parts purchases through the Settings screen
* In the Settings screen, parts that players have not yet purchased will now have a shopping cart icon appearing next to them. These can now be purchase on the spot. Purchased parts will immediately be equipped on their car.
* For details, refer to Top Menu – [Manual] – [GT Life] – [Settings]
Improved Opponent AI Algorithm
* The search range of opponent AI has been expanded and their intelligence algorithm has been improved.
Interrupting and resuming Championship races
* In the championship races of A-Spec and B-Spec modes within [GT Life], there is now an interrupt button in the quick menu which appears after completing individual races.
* If the interrupt button is pressed, the event will be interrupted and a player’s record up to that point will be saved, and the game will end. The next time the player starts the game, they can continue the championship race from where they left off.
Additional music track
* After playback of the ending movie (*short version), “Day To Live/daiki kasho” will be added as a bonus music track.
Other Changes
* Check the physical endurance of drivers that are resting in the B-Spec endurance races.
* Sort the garage by [Last Car Driven]
* In [Weight Adjustment] of [Settings], players can now see changes in the front to rear weight balance when the ballast position is changed.
* The A-Spec driver is now displayed in the profile screen.
* In the pit menu of B-Spec, the time limit for being able to direct pit work has been changed from reaching “0″ in the count down, to “Until the car comes to a complete stop”.
* The sorting order of the music album has been improved.
* When selecting a track created in Course Maker from the course album of Arcade Mode or GT Mode, players can now run single races with up to 16 cars. (Excluding some tracks such as those made before the update, and dirt tracks.)
* It is now possible to take 3D photographs even without connecting a 3D compatible TV.
* It is now possible to export 3D photographs to [Photo] on the XMB™.
Correction of Known Issues
* PDI has addressed the issue of the maximum speed set in the transmission settings of the settings menu differing from the actual top speed of the car. This will affect cars equipped with the relevant transmission tuning part, and almost all racing cars. Cars for which each gear ratio was adjusted manually with a full customised transmission in update versions 1.07 and earlier will not be affected.
* An issue with the increase and decrease of the online logon bonus has been corrected.
* An issue where the player’s car and opponents’ cars braked at the wrong timings in the pit lane during B-Spec has been corrected.
* A problem where racing sound effects were turned off after changing settings in the quick menu has been corrected.
* An issue of how dirty the oil is when players purchase a used car not being affected by the car’s mileage has been corrected.
* An issue where some of the driver gear colours had changed after the 1.06 update has been corrected.
* An issue in the championships of GT Life where opponent cars kept using the same tyres in the second race and onwards has been corrected.
* An issue where the menu BGM was being played back during remote racing rather than the race BGM has been corrected.
* An issue of the program freezing when opening a garage containing nearly the maximum number of cars has been corrected.
A new “Expert Challenge Race” Seasonal Event has also been made available with the following races:
* Trial Mountain in a Fiat 500
* Tsukuba in a Lotus Elise 111R
* Laguna Seca in a Subaru Impreza Sedan
Has anyone else noticed an undocumented graphics update? I'd swear some of the standard cars are looking crisper and with smoother lines / edges now.
:'(
suits and helmets...
they give us things nobody asked for.
Man, I haven't even had a chance to check out all the cool stuff you all are talking about. Stupid work!!
Apparently they fixed a lot of things that I didn't know were broke as well.
Helmets and Racing Suits
I was able to "gift" 16 helmets and 16 racing suits. (along with 5 parts, 5 paints, and 1 car -- as usual) It appears there may not be a gift limit for those type of items; might have been able to "gift" more but 16 was all I had...
Am I the only one scratching his head wondering why in the hell did PD give us racing suits and helmets.:stoopid:
Really??? How fucking stupid. It's like HOME has come to GT. Next update we get shoes and pre race snacks. Talk about a useless friggin' waste of time. Don't give us a track PD (Seattle, mofo's). Fuck no. Give us NOMEX suits that nobody wants or can see instead.
What a waste.
The rest of the update is quite nice. I thank them for that.

So far from what I've come across, if it has a cart, you can buy it. Sometimes I need to start down the left side of the item with the cursor then move it to the right to get to the cart.(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/stoopid.gif)
I will try this cursor thing you speak of.
also... I did not know Sniper was Kazahkstanian.

Sony catching up on (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/bdhap.gif) car tickets caused some kornfusion... (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/icon_drunk.gif)
Last night was the first time I've been able to play around with all the new things in the update. After seeing everyone using their driver pics in the community pics I thought i would put one up. I can not find this option anywhere! I have gone where the online instructions say it should be but it's not there. I can retire my driver, receive prizes, random outfit change, and change outfit but no photo. Am I in the wrong place?
Also, since the update every time I race a created track in the cockpit view it looks as if I'm sitting on a beach ball. The camera angle bounces up and down and left to right as I turn the wheel. I thought it might just be my tracks so I tried one of Bostons last night and got the same thing. Anyone else having these issues? Oh, great track Boston!
I hope I'm understanding you question correctly.Thanks Boston. I'm an idiot! I was looking in the B-spec driver menu. I am still having the problem with the camera in the cockpit view on the created tracks. I just tried a run on one of my tracks in a Mclaren F1 and the camera was all over the place. My wife said it was making her dizzy just watching it.
Try clicking on your existing profile picture in the upper left hand part of the TV screen. Once done, it should give you the option to change your profile photo to 1 of 9 different poses. I hope this is what you are looking for.
I have not experienced the created track issues that you described. Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my track.
How many of you are experiencing an increase in the number of times you are dropped off of on-line?
I haven't played that much but I generally don't get dropped maybe because I have a really good internet connection. However, I have noticed that when I am exiting a room after playing online, it either takes a long time or it freezes.
I was just running some seasonals, and a message popped up in the corner saying, "an error occured, you have been signed out of the playstation network". I've seen that a few times, but only when playing GT Life stuff. I can usually sign right back in.
I haven't been bumped off in quite a while (a month or more). My issue is the excessive amount a time it takes me to join a room. This has gotten a lot worse for me as of late. I hit the button to join room and sometimes it will take 3-5 minutes to join a room. Other times I just get ejected back to the lobby or my GT home, but never offline.
I also have an excellent connection and GT5 is the only game I have issues with.
FYI... There is a LIMIT to the number of items you can have. Once you reach it the game tells you can't have any more items and you must use/delete some to continue.
I hit it last night... :(

so if I clear the cache in options it won't fuck up any game saves? Sorry if this seems like a newb question but these computer thingys always confuse me
Hmmm, I'm not sure what I did to trigger this, but I tried to buy a used car and was told it was out of stock?
Really? In a virtual store? :-\
That was the clearest translation of that tweet in English that I've seen yet.
Thanks!
Shirakawa Akira over at GTPlanet has been translating most of his tweets quite accurately.Since I lost my in-house interpreter who knows kanji over at the PSU, I was hoping to find another (esp if they have interest in GT), but that hasn't happened yet.
In race saves still coming?

New Glitch::
This glitch allows you to permanently "borrow a persons car and own it.
How to do this:
1. First, borrow a friends car. Delete GT5 game data, it's the first folder in the Game tab in the XMB
2. Start GT5, refuse to download the patches
3. You should own the borrowed car BUT select a different car in your garage
4. Install patches and enjoy!
I've lost everything post coming soon. LOL

Just a curiosity:
When the last Seasonal Evnet was sent out, I also saw a couple of additional notices that are now mysteriously missing.....One was about the GT5 Servers going under maintenance on 8-23-11 and 8-24-11, where the online network would not be available...one notice was for about 6 hours and another for about an hour interruption of service.
Additionally, there was a notice that there would be a series of races that, if successfully accomplished, would award you with a 2011 Jeff Gordon Official Helmet and Suit......
Anyone see either of these? Cause they are now missing from the Notification News.

Don't worry. We will find out Soon.
Beginning 8pm PST on August 29, a special NASCAR-themed online racing event will be held. Users who compete and win at these events will be awarded the 2010 racing suit and helmet of NASCAR star Jeff Gordon for use with their in-game drivers as a prize.
Enjoy this special race event, and don’t miss the chance to unlock this very special prize.
The Seasonal Events area within Gran Turismo 5 is home to a variety of online race events and time trials that are updated regularly.
*Exact start time of the event is subject to change.
*To participate in seasonal events, you must be signed in to Playstation®Network.
but yay for updates and free stuff :D.
Cool, pretty, yes, but race organisers need to have all of the race data exportable in a standard text format, as a file and with an MD5 or sha1 checksum. Then we're really talking... ;)
Ok I can't find a patch 1.11 changelog so I'm asking here -
Has De La Sarthe 2005 always been in the game?
And Brindle is running High Speed Ring with WEATHER?!@ When was that added?!
Don't forget to help out make this the largest virtual race ever!

Time Trial
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Top Gear Test Track Time Trial
Period of Availability: 2011/09/06 03:20 - 2011/09/26 18:59
Gold: Cr.500,000 Silver: Cr.350,000 Bronze: Cr.150,000
This is a time trial on the Top Gear Test Track, using the SLS AMG supercar from Mercedes-Benz. Challenge the actual laptime marked by former F1 Driver David Coulthard in the real SLS AMG! If you hit any of the cones or drive off the track, the lap time will be invalid until you start over.
SLS AMG '10

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Top Gear Test Track Time Trial
Period of Availability: 2011/09/06 03:20 - 2011/09/26 18:59

SLS AMG '10
Tough challenge with just the cash reward so far as I can tell, driving the SLS AMG on Comfort: Soft tires is very tricky and a special addition with this challenge is permanently invalid laptimes if you make a booboo so you have to hit the restart switch (so if you hit a cone, go off track, etc all further laptimes are invalidated which I can only assume is an attempt to stop people cheating / glitching).
A quick run at it this morning got me a 1'20.3xx, not good enough for the Silver time (that's sub 1'20.000, gold is under 1'18.000). Pretty sure I'll be able to get it with some practice but there's very little margin for error.
I could be wrong since I haven't read up / watched anything about the David Coulthard / Mercedes event itself (beyond the basic seasonal thing in the game) but I believe for this challenge (at least in the seasonal event) they're timing a rolling lap as opposed to the standing start they use for the Top Gear Powerboard laptimes.

I'm sure it will make all of you who finished the Top Gear Mercedes challenge happy to have your clean times wiped out because of others cheating, but apparently, that's what will happen on September 22. Penalty areas are supposed to be readjusted, too.
You would think that they would learn from their mistakes but they mess up time and time again. I don't get it.
I thought the penalty areas weren't supposed to change until the 22th.
I didn't get a chance to see how people were cheating this time. I've run thousands of laps (okay, more like a thousand) at the TGTT in offline practice mode and the boundaries where your laps "go red" (short-cut penalty) are pretty well defined in my mind. It's really hard to cheat those lines. In fact, I think it's nearly impossible.
I just tried to run the "new and improved" version of the SLS challenge and it's FUCK ed. The 'out-of-bounds' lines seem completely arbitrary. I'm getting penalized and I have no idea why. There is that slight left kink between the cones on the approach to Chicago. I got near - did not touch, just got near - the cones on the inside and FUCKINGBAM! red lap time. Different lap, I swung out to nail Bentley going on to the backstraight (kinda) and reddened again. Didn't touch anything. Didn't cross any visible line. What the hell?
For me, it's like learning an entirely new track that looks exactly like something I know more or less by heart. It's pretty doggammed frustrating.
This spiral of incompetent doom is getting old. PD: Can you please try and get it right the first time, so you don't have to over-correct and fuck it up even worse the second time? Thanks.
Aaaand breath.
So, as far as I can tell, that formula should work for any race length and time frame you want to race. It only gets touchy approaching a 10+ hour race length with a 12+ hour time frame. You then start to get 3.x, 2.x and 1.x Time Progression #'s.
There, I said it and I DEFY anyone to remove me from this sit
Other times its What the Fuck Were They Thinking?
There have been quite a few graphic element changes to tracks, so new signs, buildings, somebody mentioned new or different types of trees, etc.
I saw an old/new comparison of a Honda Civic that had bright headlights instead of dull ones, too.
I noticed the same thing, Chrome. You may have hit on the difference being that one is a gift car from the game and one is ticket redemption. I have seen this several times. There would be one clue to check: The cars all have a delivery date when you look at the stats from the garage screen.....check the dates. If the first one was a gift, then it may have more horsepower than the 0 mileage car you obtained from the coupon. Although, I don't see where the justification would be for having different values for the same car with 0 mileage. :-\ Only PD's Infinite *cough* wisdom would be able to explain that one.

So I keep reading that the physics are changing, even before the 2.0 update.
Has anyone here noticed this? I haven't raced in a few days so I'm unaware of what's going on.
I'm also reading the gap between offline and online physics is shrinking. My question is, what way is it going? If offline more like online was? Or is online more like offline was? Or is it somewhere in the middle?
Thanks. :)

I think I've noticed a small difference offline, mainly when drifting. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it does seem slightly different. They may be "loosening"(for lack of a better term) up offline, to match online.
Apparently, the X2010 gift car is available now.

For those still grinding B-spec, remember to pick up an X2010 on your alternate accounts. Then you can share it and use it without worrying about adding mileage. I think that my original X2010 from my main account has permanently lost hp that doesn't come back with a rebuild.

The X2010 is for me, the least fun car to drive ever. Got my 5 million credits(barely), it can collect dust now. :)

It requires you to forget everything you know about racing other cars. It's entirely counter-intuitive. Want it to hold the line in the corner? Better not let off the gas. The faster you go (to a very precise point), the better it handles. Cross the point and it's death.
Today was the first time I'd actually driven the thing and it's pretty frustrating (although once I got the hang of it things weren't so bad - I managed to get my 5 million credits on the first lap, which I needed desperately, by about 6 seconds, which included 2 massive shunts). I hopped in a 300hp Evo right afterward and it felt like it was going half the speed of smell and it looked like it had a Conestoga Wagon driving position comparatively.
The X2010 is best at one thing: getting you out of whack with "normal" cars. I bet mine gets dustier than yours quicker!

If it was the prototype I would take it... (mssing that one)
The game has been out long enough that most of us are level 35 (or our b-spec guys are) and above. The game gives it to you at achievment of level 35....
Are you describing the old bug that was solved in 1.06?
I just put my $5 million in the books. It was so not-challenging that it's almost like Kaz is giving us some "walking around money" to go shopping with on Tuesday. :-*
So, the DLC price of $12 / package / account will add up for those with multiple accounts.

the DLC if downloaded on one account it is saved to the game data not specific accounts so if you buy on alternate id you will have it on all accounts including stvm/stgt accounts the same with map packs for call of duty they are downloaded on one account but can be used on multiple
in awnser to your question looney this is astatement saying if DLC is downloaded on one account it can be used on all accounts not just the one its downloaded from
just like the chromeline cars they are on all accounts and with the camaro edgess special you download it on one you have it on all accounts

Apparently Kaz has tweeted that more DLC is coming. No mention of when. I'm expecting a strict schedule of once per month, which to PD means the next one will be in 2 or 3 months then five months after that and then maybe four months after that.

Wow. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. After reading over at GTPlanet, it sounds like they botched the entire DLC thing. DLC is tied to your account and is region locked so make sure you buy it from your main account. You won't be able to use it on other accounts. Paints can't be gifted and are single use. You have to buy multiple paint packs to get your cars all the same colour. I'm stuck with PD and Sony this gen but I may be switching for the next gen of consoles.
As most of you have already found out, The following information was released today - Don't shoot the messenger!:
Only hours away from release, Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced via Twitter the release of Gran Turismo 5‘s first DLC - including the highly anticipated Spa Francorchamps circuit - has been delayed in North America until October 25th, 2011. No further explanation is offered, but the tweet does mention the content will include a “specialbonusBone Us” when it is eventually released next week:
I've got a question that could use some consideration - Are these paints truly unique or is it like the new race suits where you can actually just win them through normal gameplay? Does the game simply recognize that you've purchased the pack and give you them all in one shot for one time use?
I'm about as worried about the paints as I am about the stupid racing suits - I could care less.... I've got enough paints that I'll never use and unless someone can definitively prove that being a special color makes you faster... It's all fluff that really makes NO DIFFERENCE to the game, guys and ontop of it - it's basically free when you buy the stuff that you actually want... Shrug*
I've got enough paints that I'll never use and unless someone can definitively prove that being a special color makes you faster...
I haven't looked at switching my avatar driver's suit once nor changed a car's colour, either, so maybe I can send PD a message by just getting the cars and tracks and not support silliness by throwing away money.
Why buy something I probably will never use, right?
C'mon 11 you think they put in the DLC button if this was a one time thing? I am betting we will get tagged 4 times a year right up until they release 6. Getting a mound of cash they have not been able to raise in between other versions of the game.

:stoopid:
They got a chance to make some more money off of us, I'm sure they'll milk it for as much as they can.
Hopefully the impending "bone-us" gift will be something half decent.
Assuming you can get it to refresh right (I think I had to click on his twit name somewhere), Kaz has been twitting about the "DLC linked to one account" issue..
https://twitter.com/#%21/Kaz_Yamauchi
.. what I don't get is if the existing DLC (Pre-order stealth cars, Edge Special Camaro and I assume Chromelines) works for multiple accounts on the same console why won't this? My first assumption is they've programmed it directly into the game / ID itself, perhaps because it's paid for now, or something similar where as the previous stuff was programmed in a much more generic way so once it was downloaded to the console it was available to all.
Hopefully the impending "bone-us" gift will be something half decent.

Can you add a wing in GT Auto...or is this a 'Standard' model?
The impression that I got was that since they wanted to make it so you could buy it several times (probably for paints), they couldn't do it the same way as the existing DLC.

When I go to PS Store it should show an icon saying i purchased it (by buying the bundle) already. I know this from LBP and other DLC I have purchased. Or did they change the PS Store to make this work? What's to keep me from using Account Management to re-download it?

OK, I have a question regarding this special addition to the content.
What will it take to get this special package?
What if I just buy the paint package, or track package, or car package, but only one package?
Do I still get the addition? :-\

Logically speaking, anyone who buys Any of the DLC should be rewarded the Special Addition, usable only the PSN account on which said DLC was purchased....but that's logically speaking.
Although I fully expect that either Canada or Quebec will be excluded from the special addition as usual.
Question.
What happens in cases like Looney's?? His PS3 is on the way out.
If he was to get the DLC and then get a YLOD then what? I mean, Will he have to REBUY the DLC?
Have they changed the store? After my most recent YLOD, I bought a new PS3, went to the store, looked at my DL history and RE DL'ed what I wanted to. Are people not going to have this option with the GT content if they get a YLOD?
Does that make any sense?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Regarding the DLC usage for multiple accounts, We’re planning an another update for GT5 in December. In that update users who purchased cars and tracks from the DLC already, can receive a free “family upgrade” in the PS Store, which will let all users in the same PS console use the DLC.
He also adds:
And though we looked into this, unfortunately there’s no solution for crossing multiple regions. I’m sorry, but we have to ask you to match the region of your disc and your PSN account setting.

This is interesting. Sounds like after you get the DLC, you can then buy multiple versions of the cars from the appropriate dealership. This is an improvement.
I thought you are not able to get the track keys because of Ca emissions laws
OK, so now that DLC is going to be somewhat fixed in December, as well adding DLC car to dealerships for repurchasing as an improvement, along with a Christmas present, does that make the DLC worth it for those who weren't going to get it?
Basically, screwing up the DLC may have created more sales and a better product. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)

I was already in for three (sorry - W00t.com relfex) so all these improvements are even better!
Wait...did I make sense?
Did anybody else have problems using that Code for a Free Stealth GT-R?
I wanted to use it on my gt5 account I race with, GTP_Rylvir.. after a few tries it just wouldn't take.. bad code or whatever it said...
so I jumped on my non GT5 ID, and was able to use the code.. jumped back on GTP_Rylvir..
No Stealth GT-R in the garage :(
Was anybody able to use the code for more than 1 account?
side note.. I never logged in to GT5 on main account after redeeming code.. perhaps I need to do that to activate it - ?!
note: I do have a Stealth GT-R from Pre-Order.. that is the only thing I can think of.. fuck, and that was the week my crystal ball was out for repair

Yup, that's one of the downsides to having DLC.
Plus, if they have 20 to thirty of the missing tracks to still hand out, what will the final bill be?
Oh, and another thing is time. The longer PD takes to release all of what they plan ongivingselling to us, the less time we'll have to use it before GT6 Prologue is out. That would be annoying.
As I've said over on the PSN forums I'm a little confused about the thought behind the recent free gifts, I don't mind that they're giving away the Stealth cars now just the way they're going about it seems a little illconceived. The trouble is where they're giving away a specific car it puts some people in the position we're seeing whereby they can't download this new free gift because they already have it, I don't think it's fair that people should be excluded from obtaining a free GT Academy celebratory gift (the Stealth GT-R GT500) or the upcoming DLC delay compensation gift (the Stealth NSX GT500) just because they chose to preorder from a certain location over a year ago.
To avoid screwing people out of free gifts but still use Stealth cars why couldn't they have just put out a generic one-use gift code that would allow us to choose which one Stealth car we wanted, that way the people who have the Stealth GT-R could have chosen say the McLaren F1 Stealth (the one I have from my Gamestop preorder) or the SLS AMG Stealth or whatever other one they preferred.
Speaking of the GT Academy gift itself I think it was very much a missed opportunity, they could have given the NA region a neat little unique gift but instead just dredged up some old content that some people already have. Even if they reissued the GT-R Academy Special which I think was a Europe region only Academy gift, that would have been good. They could have gone as far as producing new custom skins for the Nissan 370z and GT-R to replicate those used in the actual show, that would've been really cool. IMHO an opportunity missed.
But as they say hindsight is a wonderful thing and I'm really not visualizing these equine bestowments via their verbilization apertures, heck I'm glad they actually can and are still throwing us free gifts, updates and wotnot, I just wonder sometimes about the thought processess behind some of them :).
Yup, that's one of the downsides to having DLC.
Plus, if they have 20 to thirty of the missing tracks to still hand out, what will the final bill be?
Oh, and another thing is time. The longer PD takes to release all of what they plan ongivingselling to us, the less time we'll have to use it before GT6 Prologue is out. That would be annoying.
O.K., It's October 25nd, It's now 8:05 am (E.D.T.) and so where's the friggin' DLC for GT5? Nothin' in the Playstation Store under Disc Based Games add on content. W.T.F ?!?!?!
Did I miss something?
Ah, so! Or is it Aso, or arshole?

I think it's Ice Hole, or Fargin Ice Hole. ^-^
Unrealistic, but I'm watching an old episode of Top Gear right now and May is driving a Quattroporte on the Targa Florio route. I'd love to see the Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie. Yeah, it's 45 miles long, but it's a brilliant 45 miles.
I'm guessing the track designer (the Italian layout, whatever it's called) is supposed to be a kind of substitute for this. But there's something about driving on those generated tracks that's just weird. I guess it's that it's so wide open with no scenery... or something. It just doesn't feel as... solid (?) as an actual circuit on the game.
Roman Moroni: I would like to direct this to the distinguished members of the panel: You lousy cork-soakers. You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves.
Roman Moroni: You fargin sneaky bastage. I'm gonna take your dwork. I'm gonna nail it to the wall. I'm gonna crush your boils in a meat grinder. I'm gonna cut off your arms. I'm gonna shove 'em up your icehole. Dirty son-a-ma-batches. My own club!
I remember reading something that mentioned Kaz checking out the track creator in Mod Nation Racers and liking it a lot. If he were to model the track creator from that, then maybe adding scenery would be included in the future. It's a pretty slick track creator and there is a ton of extras to add to the scenery.

I don't know...
While it would be nice to have more scenery ability I'd prefer to have more them options/track options to be honest. While having a set of trees over here & stands over there looks neat I'd gladly trade that for options such as bridges or tunnels...or just a few different themes (City/night or City/Day...Test Track environment...High Speed mountain pass) to broaden the appeal.
Then again I am very small...
DLC will be available at 5pm est according to a Kaz tweet.

It would be nice just to be able to "drag" the sections of the track to what you want instead of what you are given as options.
Click & Drag would be neat, and elevation control would be fun as well...although I have to admit that I like the hilly curves because it forces me to check the weight of my car constantly...but that's just me.I remember reading something that mentioned Kaz checking out the track creator in Mod Nation Racers and liking it a lot.

And less elevation change. That's the main thing that bugs me about the created tracks. Every FUCK ing curve is going over a hill.
Did the default lounge/cold tires bug ever get fixed?

Update Coming October 27th
Gran Turismo 5 October 26th, 2011 by Famine
Just as the North American gamers are getting to grips with yesterday’s DLC addition, Kazunori Yamauchi has announced a game update. The update will address issues gamers have brought up with the Spec 2.0 version of the game released earlier this month:
We will be doing an October GT5 update in North America and Europe, planned for Oct. 27th. This will consist of:
1. Kart Space I/II of the DLC will become drivable with cars other than Karts in the online lounge and free run of Practice
2. Expanded restriction options for cars in the online lounge [Car Restrictions], [Performance Points], [Power], and [Car Model] regulations will be possible to set simultaneously.
3. Fix for issues in: Setting sheets, G25/27, resuming from pits in endurance races, TC car numbers and LSD settings, etc.
Many more minor adjustments have been made, but something like this.
While it would be nice if all games/updates were released bug free, I'm impressed with what we're being told about the Oct 27 update.:stoopid: :stoopid:

These changes and updates have taken a lot of questions I had ready to ask about next week.
That's a good thing, but... I'd rather looked forward to having a conversation about something. :laugh

Ok MGT. Their continuing to work on race hosting controls and that's a good thing. When they finely get those dialed in, they should go to Online Lobby and add the appropriate filters.

Tallstar, I am also amused by jokes at PD's expense. I wish there wasn't so much material though. If I'm going to bash someone for idiocy, I feel it only fair to point out the positive, when possible.
I like your wall form, and recovery. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lmao01.gif)
Vid quality is fine, it must be a pain to get it up there.
I will have to try this now. :)
Did anyone else notice a difference in the physics tonight? All cars seemed real sticky like SRF was on or something

Hmmm, I'm surprised that this comment hasn't grabbed that much attention especially since I see this as being the biggest and most concerning change that we never heard about directly from PD.... Have we all been so dazzled by the shiny things that nobody noticed that we all became waaaaaaay better drivers virtually overnight? :-\
...... If I didn't know better, PD is focusing more on trying to draw the Forza crowd than kepping their loyals happy..

(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif) The first time it happened I was a bit shocked... I know I said out loud WTF ... (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
The vid was set to 720, but my cam has a 720 60fps and a 1080p setting too, it would have made it a bit sharper and brighter, but it was a spur of the moment thing. It really isn't hard to do, just record and upload it to YouTube, really only takes a few minutes. The hardest part for me is the actual recording, as it's handheld, keeping it steady is the key.
The $$$ is over 400,000cr and 51,000 ex. for an 8 min race... not too shabby as I'm trying to get my Infini acct to lvl 40
(before Dude does :P) in A-spec, only several million more ex. pts. to go. :D

Ok - I just checked out my Gran-Turismo site and noticed that there are two spaces for shared tracks.
Has anyone tried to put up more than one track? Just wanted to see if this was a possibility...
Are you still doing some online racing early on Saturday mornings Infinity? Its been awhile since Breakfast with Infinity.
Infini,
We actually had just started talking about/testing this about an hour before the 2.01 update came down and had the chance to run quite a few cars before we updated... Immediately following the update we went and repeated the exact same tests with the exact same results. I think that this went down with the 2.0 but had kind of escaped me until now, it wasn't until Soks and I started really looking at it that we noticed what was up...
Seriously though, try out the Camaro RM and the Yellowbird at Nurburgring and you'll notice the difference almost immediately...

Have you been on HSR with the FGT? It could be a localized glitch... track related. The difference is huge in those two turns, but not in the rest of the track. I would think that the esses especially would be slick if the turns were, but I had no problems in them or in the big sweeping 1st turn. A 20mph+ difference shouldn't happen overnight... but it did :-\ I check it out tomorrow, maybe head over to GTPlanet to see what's being said... for now I need a few hours of sleep... work tonight...

Actually, what you wrote got me thinking a bit - Could it be possible that they took a bit of the edge off of the online lobbies which were notably less forgiving to drive in than the offline mode and, on the flipside, made the offline portions of the game a little slipperier? We're both talking about the physics changing but at the same time we're talking about 2 separate arenas of play here and there's always been a difference between the 2 that was easy to spot. I'll try running the FGT event later when I hop on for a bit....

Just one more thing on this... Before I ran HSR earlier today, I also ran the FGT seasonal at Grand Valley... and I did not notice any real difference from my previous runs there. My times and speeds seemed approx. the same. I haven't ran any of the others yet, but it seems odd that Grand Valley isn't affected but HSR is in a big way.

Tonight, after the warm-up lap, I got an 8:33 and then on lap #2, got an 8:30.6.

Speaking of RMs it'd be a great opportunity to add in more RM compatible cars coupled with races specifically for RM'd cars :D.
I "simply" would love a true Spec Miata....
Too much to ask?
I'd settle for some new cars to fill in some of the dealer lots (even as standard models)
This reminds me of a post on the PSN forums, the suggestion was RMs for Standard cars.. a lot less work than RMs for Premium cars I would imagine.
And on the topic of Standard cars, I certainly wouldn't be adverse to having more of them added (I won't make a list, it would take WAY too long :laugh) especially if they could do a "Standard Plus" version.. basically Standard car detailed model but with the proper interior view like the open cockpit cars have even if it's a closed cockpit car.
I'd settle for some new cars to fill in some of the dealer lots (even as standard models)
E.g.
MGB and/or MGB GT
Triumph TR6 and 7 or 8
I "simply" would love a true Spec Miata (or two '91 & '99 just like in real life). Just imagine: a 1991 NA Chassis with 135hp to the crank, "only" Race Hard tires available, "only" 2225lbs weight, only adjustable camber (up to 2.5 degrees) ride height, toe, and sway bars; and that's it!
-No adjustable tranny
-Cars come with an LSD, but not adjustable
-No brake bias adjustment
-No Spring or Damper adjustment
Just like in real life the car would be amazing and the racing would be wen better.

Honestly, yes, too much to ask. They've set the game up to have certain 'suspension' settings/options, and that's what we get. I can't see them making a special race car with a custom suspension setup. Same for the brakes. Also, I'd be offended if they gave us a car and limited it one tire (karts don't count). I'm sure the setup you ask about would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Haha, I know it's too much to ask. That's what happens when you have Sam Adams over for dinner; then he won't leave.
:)
The host should be able to select specific cars to race (and not just from recommended cars)
and then each car would need a tuning sheet with a little check box for each setting to either allow racers to change the values or not.
If I were to be in a single car series, I would like an Elise RM (probably the 111R), NSX RM, or maybe the Arta Garaiya.
I've noticed a lot of people going nuts on GTP about GT6, and it being on the PS4. Is it really time for a new console, and hasn't GT normally done 2 versions per console. I could be wrong, but seems like those guys(GTP posters) are getting ahead of themselves. :-\
X-Play just had a short segment on the GT awards at SEMA. They showed the winning Camaro, and briefly talked to the owner, and Kaz. They also commented that the Camaro will be appearing in GT5. Not sure if that's based on something they got from Kaz, or if they are assuming.

If that is true, then PD has inconsistent plans for adding new cars.
This info is coming from another source.

FYI: just clarify SONY's position with Logitech wheels, at that time, I asked about PD adding in a second "official" wheel.
The reply I got was, more or less, "what's wrong with having two official GT5 wheels?", so I guess PD felt no real loyalty to keeping Logitech wheels exclusive. And, since then, Logitech has had no new wheel products.
Gran Turismo 5: New DLC and Update 2.02 Coming Next Week (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/12/14/gran-turismo-5-new-dlc-and-update-2-02-coming-next-week/)
Hey GT fans! We’re excited to announce all of the new content coming to Gran Turismo 5 next week, including our second round of DLC. Next week you’ll be able to download Car Pack 2 for $3.99 and add some fantastic new rides to your garage. Car Pack 2 includes the 2011 Mini Cooper S, 2010 Volkswagen Golf VI R, 2010 Volkswagen Scirocco R, and the new and improved 2012 Nissan GT-R Black edition R35.
There’s more good news, because as a special gift anyone who purchased anything from the first batch of DLC will get unlock the Gran Turismo Racing Kart 125 SP and five New Car Refresh cards in the game for free. The refresh cards will take any car back to being ‘as good as new’ while maintaining any modifications or paint jobs you have given your motors. To take advantage of this offer, you’ll need to install the new downloadable update hitting next week.
The free downloadable update coming next week will also add several new enhancements to GT5 as well as correcting some reported issues. A few examples of the benefits of update 2.02 include:
Users can now change wheels on Standard cars
The settings sheets will include a new ‘copy’ feature
In GT Auto, players will be able to see how the oil changes, aerodynamic parts, engine overhauls, and racing modifications will affect performance points and engine power, before and after their application
Free coupons have been added that allow you to wash cars, change oil, overhaul your engine, or refresh the car body in GT Auto (10 coupons will be distributed for free to each of those who have downloaded the 2.02 update)
Pressing the Square button in the car coupon selection screen of the Car Delivery will now allow you to exchange all car coupons at once, rather than doing one at a time
In screens where the [Garage] and [Driver List] buttons are displayed in the A/B Spec events, Special Events, and Seasonal Events, pressing the Square button will now show the [Garage], and pressing the Triangle button will bring up the drivers list
In My Lounge, the room settings will feature a new ‘Max. number of participants’ setting
In the event selection screen of seasonal events, there are now ☆(star) marks that show the number of Gold Trophies attained in each event
Improved racing sound effects
Elements of the steering assist controls (used when using certain controllers on Racing Karts) have been tweaked
As an additional gift to players this holiday season, everyone who downloads the 2.02 update will also receive the stunning Toyota FT-86 2012 to add to their in-game collection.
One more note: Those who purchased the course and/or vehicle DLC that was released in October will be able to download Family Upgrade unlocks for free from the store. This means that if you bought the Racing Car Pack, Course Pack, or the ‘Complete Pack’ that contained both of these, by downloading the free Family Upgrade items, the content will now be accessible to more than just the user account that purchased the content. Family members or friends using the same PS3 can all use the courses and cars. Note that the upgrade doesn’t apply to the Racing Gear Pack or Special Paint Pack, and starting next week, new purchases will not have the restriction in place.
And don’t forget, there’s only one week left to compete in the special GT5 Time Trial Challenge and unlock a special edition Nissan GT-R for your garage. We hope you enjoy the free game updates, new cars and new batch of DLC. Drive safe!
Ok... But where the hell are a few new tracks :-\
Ok, so we will now be able to change wheels on standard cars... but I wonder if we will be able to paint them too?
As an additional gift to players this holiday season, everyone who downloads the 2.02 update will also receive the stunning Toyota FT-86 2012 to add to their in-game collection.

I don't know....but this makes me feel like a kid again, I'm so psyched! It's the smallest thing, but it's huge for me. Again, I have no idea why. I'll be busy, I've got a lot of cars to make cool looking. :D

:stoopid: I'm interested to see how many options we'll have.
There's some nice things in there and I don't mean to be a debbie downer but no new tracks is a HUGE disappointment for me.
Could someone explain why I should give a sh*t about the addition of the 2011 Mini Cooper S? As best I can tell this car has barely changed over the years except when they switched from a supercharger to a turbocharger. I.E. explain to me why this isn't lame. :-\

The Top Gear guys had a chance to drive the new Scirocco and were less than impressed with it. I personally love the the looks. I was really hoping for more than a couple of rehashed cars in this round of DLC though.

I believe the Scirocco they tested was actually a diesel (if we're talking about the same episode), so it wasn't quite as peppy as a petrol GTi. But yeah, what Baked said: a better looking coughlesspracticalcough GTi.
The Euro took a hit this month, back below $1.30 exchange rate... if it keeps falling (c'mon, Greece, Spain and Portugal!) then maybe we'll see this stateside eventually...

I think it was a diesel now that I think about it.
Also, I believe the Scirocco will not come to the states for fear of stepping on the toes of the Golf GTi.
Improved racing sound effects
Also.... yay, another FUCKING GT-R. :(

WHY NOT ADD some tracks that are already (probably) on the CD's we already own?
LOL at this news. Free car washes, WTF. I guess I should be happy I didn't need to buy 50 gallons of gas first. :laugh Free is nice, but washes are about free as it is.
Merry Christmas. Here's a GT-R and coupons to wash it. BAAAAAAHHHHHHH HUMBUG!!!!!
Early on I thought I wouldn't do irreversible mods to some of my Chromeline cars, but then I thought, what the hell, I rarely drive them anyway and when GT6 comes out it won't matter anyway. Point is, I don't treat the "special" cars any differently than the ones I can buy.I'm with ya Sniper, lots to chose from and may never drive them all

with DLC touring cars, for instance, people set up races with them and if the race specs are "don't full mod this and detune the crap out of it" then if you don't have two of the TC's, you're screwed. That's the only reason I haven't added staged upgrades to my TC's yet.
I hope we will be able to get them from the dealership.

found me a hidden element in the 2.02 update. 2x photos render is a third of the time it took before the update.
Turbos, and probably superchargers sound better. Prior to 2.02, you could hear turbos spool up and let off, including waste gate/BOV noises. Now they are much more pronounced, and on a stock car where the turbo is not drowned out by a racing exhaust, you can hear many more nuances to the sound of the turbos.

Good, because you could only really hear those turbo-related noises in hood/roof cam before.
Wind noise struck me as good. I pulled out of draft at about 200 km/h in a (quiet) stock 86GT and it immediately drowned out the little engine noise.
Didn't think to go blasting through a tunnel blaring my horn yet.

ooh.. nice find! though, as I always say, there is really no reason to use the 2x photos. There is almost no way to tell the difference without zooming in, and unless you are planning some serious photoshopping and making large posters of your photos, it's not really necessary, IMO. But now that they are faster to produce, then I suppose it's all about the filesize and whether you are okay with them getting larger.
Anyone else get prompted for a few room settings Before starting a lounge (your own, anyway) so that the room loads with a few of your desired settings, including the track selection?
Not that it matters to me, but I'm sure it will to many. The free Family pack for the DLC, didn't add the tracks to my other IDs, just the cars.
So there are two family packs to download?

That's what I'm wondering, cause I bought the whole shabang on my main account, and even a 2rd paint pack. It would seem that I should've gotten the tracks on my other IDs as well.

Damn, guys. There's a track and car family upgrade separately, because not everyone bought the whole shebang on some account.

Side note, that second paint pack gets you the FT-86 II Concept '11 though.
I purchased the first DLC some time ago. I have not bought the second round of DLC, but I did go to PS store and pick the car and track Family pack. Family packs are free if prior purchase of DLC. One note the car pack and track pack are two separate downloads.

I sent two cards back-to-back either side of 7PM earlier this week ... don't remember if that was 2.01 or 2.02
You can now use the cars you have set to 'online/share with friends' online yourself, but 'borrowed' cars still can't get online.
RE: tire wear
though i noticed no diff in seasonals; there was a noticable difference in tire wear between seasonals and the behavior exhibited in my GROTTO...
(also also... running r3/r1; I was able to even out the tire wear across all four tires at Spa. i was in the Spyker at approx. 550pp. it is a MR car that accelerates real well. with proper throttle control it is an awesome creature, without it - well... it will tear your throat out and drain your life's blood. ;) )

Possibly because tire wear in seasonals is 'off' ...
Strike that, reverse it. R1/R3 unless you enjoy having your throat torn out and life's blood drained. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
To be honest I haven't seen a need for tire split since prologue.
I was thinking of a couple of prologue Lotus tunes that ran R1/R3. Because with R3/R3 the front had too much grip and the rear would come right around.
If it works for you Charlie then use it.
Charlie y u no use letters to describe tires: R-h, R-m, R-s makes 84.39% more sense than R1/R3

Don't forget tires factored into pp in 5P; being able to have less tire at one end helped you under the hood.

If anything i would be tempted to skip the track but will still get it. But a massive oval with giant banking does not sound like the racing will be all that great. Just a top speed test course is not terribly exciting as a driver either.
Is it just me or has the pricing of dlc been inconsistent?
PLEASE LET IT BE 2 PLAYER!

Today it is 1 dollar per car and 4 dollars per track. I did not pay attention to what they were before, but I feel like they were cheaper.
Two things. First, I like the test track thingy, and if you can drag race, it'll be way fun. Second, regarding the crappy new cars that some of you don't want to get...can you imagine how good I'm going to look in the Aston?

Anybody else having trouble loading replays lately? I'd say 1 out of every 3 or 4 times I try to load a replay, the progress bar takes forever to fully load and then once it's full, it just hangs forever and I have to quit the game. I thought it was perhaps because I had a shitload of replays saved so I went through and deleted a bunch of them. It didn't help.
It's really FUCKING annoying.

It's possible to get on Route X in someone elses room without buying it. Pretty neat track really, for what it is. 24h time change but no weather.
I purchased a Mini in Blue with white strips from the dealer too.
Some cars that were won in A spec events were that way too. Could not be sold or traded. I seem to recall when trying to sell it, there was an option of making it just disappear.
On a side note I ran an accel. test on my pimped out yellow 'Cuda, it pulled a 10.5 second 1/4 mile time with no special drag tuning :), Wizard / Brindlefukflyspit may have to put up another section in the Bench Board section if that starts to get popular hehe.
Also, also, none of the DLC cars can be deleted, it's been like that since day 1 as far as I know.

Right, it's usually "This car cannot be sold, would you like to remove it from your garage?" for those cars (I think it's anything worth over about 500k cr.) but with the DLC cars there is no option to remove / destroy them :(.

So far I have gotten all the DLC's, tracks and cars. Three bitches, 1 If you didn't have the new tack packs you can't race with me even if I have the room and the tracks.

But you can race on a track even if you did not purchase it.

You could free-ride onto Spa or KartSpace when it came out (including joining a room and making someone elses lounge when they weren't in it), but the next update killed the freerides for those tracks.
You can currently get on Route X without purchase (I have multiple times), I suspect they'll de-allow that with next update.
Seems to me they do this deliberately to have a try-b4-u-buy ... temporarily.

Is there any rhyme or reason with the track list when going on your lobby. Is there any way to sort this list. It drives me crazy when looking for a track >:(.
I usually have to go up then all the way down again because I missed it.

I'm sure you all know this, but just in case... you can jump by 5 tracks at a time if you push left (up 5) or right (down 5).Works in a lot of the filter menu's as well, like manufacturer type etc.
I back up my game save at the end of every session.
A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.
The main contents of the update are as follows:
- Improved the performance of online races to provide a better racing experience. However, please note that using voice chat with 12 or more players can reduce screen refresh intervals.
- Reduced wobbling of the screen when using the Chase view (The Chase view is when the car is viewed from the rear during races and replays, selected by using the SELECT button).
- Electric cars (opponent cars and your cars in B-Spec) will now pit-in automatically to recharge the battery.
- Reduced the amount of steering pull when using force feedback steering wheel controllers in banks on courses such as the Special Stage Route X Oval.
- When driving formula cars using the Logitech steering wheel controllers, the initial force feedback amount has been lessened and adjusted to make it easier to drive in a straight line.
Applicable controllers: Driving Force™ GT, G25 Racing Wheel、G27 Racing Wheel, GT Force®Pro, GT Force®、Driving Force™, GT Force®RX and Driving Force Wireless
Applicable cars: Red Bull X2011, Red Bull X2010, Ferrari F10, Ferrari F2007, Formula Gran Turismo
[Correction of Known Issues]
- Fixed an issue where speedometer, race position and best lap time info are sometimes not displayed on the 2nd player side in 2P Battle Mode.
- Fixed an issue where exhaust sound is heard even after switching from a combustion engine car to an electric car within the same online race.
- Fixed an issue where if the game is started without signing in online and then saved, the cars and courses included in the Racing Car Pack and Course Pack would become unusable.
- Fixed an issue where electric cars would not recharge in the pit and become immobile.
- Fixed an issue where when the oil of the Toyota Prius was changed in GT Auto, the motor ceased to function correctly.
- Improved the force feedback of the Guillemot Thrustmaster T500 RS, where the 10 level force feedback adjustment (Especially when using the X2010 and X2011) was not working effectively. Also improved a condition where it was difficult to drive in the intended path.
- Improved the force feedback for the Logitech Driving Force™ GT, G25 Racing Wheel, G27 Racing Wheel and GT Force®Pro, where the 10 level force feedback adjustment (Especially when using the X2010 and X2011) was not working effectively.
[To Check Your Current Version]
To check the version of your software, press the "Manual" button at the bottom of the main menu screen. The version number will be located on the upper left of the index page.
If the number starts with "Ver. 2.04", you are playing the latest version of the game.
If not, please press the PS button and quit the game. The game will be updated automatically when you restart it with your PS3™ system connected to the internet.

This is the big thing that caught my eye, I was in a lounge briefly last night after the update with Nosoks and JayZ and I'm pretty sure things were a touch slicker. Granted it was just the 3 of us but I'm pretty sure the Garage screen was a bit quicker coming up and exiting the room was like a lot quicker.
Hopefully this the issues with the more full rooms have been resolved, or is that hoping for too much? :)

Yeah, it's hoping for too much. The "please note that using voice chat with 12 or more players can reduce screen refresh intervals." is their way of saying "Sorry guys you are going to have lag issues with 12 or more people wile using voice chat"
I'm just happy for confirmation that they're aware of the issue and are attempting to solve it.
I hope to be able to attend TuTu for a while tonight to test it out.

I will call you out on this. :D
Well, as a result of PD screwing around with the FF on the steering wheels, I now have noticed that the cars tend to push out more, and brake slower (poorly) slide out when turning. Also....there is very little tire sound when sliding....more of a "hiss". when doing doughnuts, there is basically no tire squeal.
I believe that they FUCK ed with the physics yet again without telling us....this time making it worse than before. >:( So as I understand it, if nothing is broken, PD will try to fix it. Is that correct? WTF????
Y'know what really irks me since this latest update? IB-1. That license test is fucking impossible to gold now! i'm only 83 thousandths off though... after 20 attempts.
Also, I looked at my wheel settings and found that it was set to "amateur" and not "professional" (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/facepalmsmiley.gif) DOH!
yea. you really have to wonder though... if they changed tire wear again, why the hell wouldn't they mention it? I think they just do this stuff to keep us beta-testing for them...
GT6 should be much easier to develop with thousands of testers working for free ;)
when it comes out, I don't want the "collector's edition" I want the "we owe you one" edition... :D
I know that last night at DRC I managed 13 laps on racing mediums with an NSX. I actually went 15 but I wouldn't call the last 2 managed (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)
Has any one noticed this last update changed the oil change guys dolly....Apparently Jiffy Lube has upgraded to dollies with Thermoptic camouflage...
To be sure if anything's changed I'll have to try some more laps in the Mitsubishi GTO I was using for the same race series, before it was down to 1/2 on some tires only 6 laps in during testing earlier in the week.
You think any of us will be alive when GT6 comes out?

It's kinda funny to watch him hover his way under the car though.
sweet hopefully it's not nust the money xp issue since most of us don't care too much about that, but instead more "stability" for more than 12 users and peripherals in a race.

Public Release of Photographs taken in Photo Mode
Feb 15, 2012
With the coming Gran Turismo 5 update planned for March 2012, we will be starting a new service on gran-turismo.com worldwide, called "Gran Turismo 5 Photo Stream".
In GT5 Photo Stream, photographs taken in the photo mode of Gran Turismo 5 and set to "Share" will be shown in a list on a webpage, and be made possible to view by anyone.
The photographs will continue to change periodically, the online ID's of the photographer will NOT be shown or made public, and there is no evaluation system or the like for the photographs. This is a service which simply introduces what kinds of photographs are being taken in Gran Turismo 5 by players around the world.
Please be aware that any photographs set to "Share" after the start date of this service will be released publically on the web by GT5 Photo Stream.
We hope you'll look forward to the start of this new service.
* Photographs that had been set to "Share with Friends" before the start date of this service will not be shown in GT5 Photo Stream.
* Due to limitations of time and the number of photograph displayable, not all photographs set to "Share" may be shown in GT5 Photo Stream.
Now our pics can be seen by the WORLD! (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/TunaThumbsUp.jpg)

I like pictures, but I don't care a lick about PD adding shit like this to the game when there are plenty of other things they could be working on, like fixing shit they break with each update. Perhaps instead of giving us an update followed by a message 12 hours later saying something is fucked up, they could spend their time actually testing the shit they come up with before giving it to us. Fuckers.
I suspect the photos selected will be chosen with some sort of random generator, so I fully expect to see some stupid photos some dumbass kid thinks are hilarious or cool and the rest of us think wtf.

Well, PD is going to have us offline for nine (9) hours Thursday (Smart move PD - Right after you release the Seasonal Evnets on Wednesday). Do ANY of those Morons know what they're doing?
I just hope that the bugs we all have been getting in our online play are corrected this time around. I got temporarily locked up right before a shuffle race and missed it on Sunday - twice. >:( The quality of their internet service needs some attention. There's Nothing wrong with my internet service - speed or otherwise. C'mon PD, get your act together. What I'd REALLY like to say is: :-X
I have a word of encouragement......can you say, "Vacuum"?
I do this weekly to keep the dust out of the PS3 ....... So far I have not seen any parts coming out of the vents. :o
the system freeze-ups probably ahve more to do with the recent firmware update, as I had two freezes immediately after updating my PS3. I saw a thread on PSN about that and commented on it.
as far as this maintenance, we should be encouraged.this is one of the largest if not THE largest (planned) outages they've done. (LONGEST OUTAGE: April 2011 to June 2011) Usually it's an hour or two, this time it's nine hours! THey must be beefing it up something significant.
that is not to suggest it will work when they get it up, I didn't know they had THAT problem too! :o but at least they are doing something to make our experience better.

The screen refresh frame rate drops in online races
Last Updated: Feb 07, 2012
Using the voice chat feature during online races by 12 or more players may reduce the screen refresh frame rate.
In this case you may want to try turning the voice chat feature OFF to improve this condition.

PS3 as awhole. :'(
PS3 as awhole. :'(
Wait, we still got people who get disconnects running wireless?!?
This is exactly what I do. Started the PS3 off on wireless, and it was generally fine with BF2 and NFS:HP, but once the rooms got larger and more and more voice chat, I figured it's easier to eliminate a huge source of mystery than battle other issues. With the amount of data GT5 is passing back and forth constantly, I doubt I'll ever go back to wireless. Plus if you run security on your wireless (as you should be) it definitely adds a bunch of latency, which will add up. Add in signal noise, microwaves, cell phones, wireless phones, neighbors, etc, well, there's a lot of factors....Wait, we still got people who get disconnects running wireless?!?
It happens to me on occasion. Usually it's not that big of a deal, but there are times when it happens more than I care for.
Running wired is not an option for me without having a cable run across the house, so wireless will have to do. Fortunately, we have an excellent internet provider, so even with wireless, my signal is pretty strong.
If it was just a wireless signal problem I could deal with the wired solution for races but the signal drops for every device, even the computer that is wired to the same router. :-X I am going to look at replacing the router. Is a 2-3 year lifespan normal for a router?
This might sound odd Looney but have you moved anything around in your home lately, maybe repositioned furniture, appliances or similar? Also thinking about moving stuff, do you have any options regarding the location of the router itself? If you can move that across the room, out of a corner, up onto a shelf or even into a different place in the house that might help.
Also have you considered buying some bigger antenna for your current one? We have our router in a room at the back of the house and had a PC on the opposite side that was periodically dropping signal, got some cheap booster antenna for the router and moved both the router and problem PC around just a bit in their respective rooms and it helped a ton.
Oh also, and I mean this is the most light-hearted, friendliest way possible..
.. sorry :D.
Is the router resetting itself or is your broadband provider resetting itself?
If your ISP drops your connection, a new router unfortunately won't help, but if you start jotting down times when it happens, your provider *may* be able to investigate if something on their end is the reason for the drops/resets.
And yes, the internet is a huge, enormously complex thing. I've had plenty of times where my ISP had issues and I'd be connected, but get horrible horrible speeds. Tech support would reboot my modem, ask me to plug it directly into the computer, blame my splitter, basically say anything but that the problem could be on their end, and if I'd like they can send a tech out to my location... I knew it was nothing between the pole and my house, so I'd just say f it. Usually it will clear up down the line in time, and it's usually because they fixed something and don't tell you about it. Big ISP's get tech issues/failed hardware just like home users, just they don't often notice as quickly, or report it...
Just stumbled onto this site over at GTP. This could really come in handy when in need of a car in the UCD.

Update 2.06 475MB.... DL'ing it now...
I have to laugh at the "rarely" parts. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/zLOL.gif)
Update 2.06 475MB.... DL'ing it now...
What exactly is the save data backup feature they added.
The update is pretty big for some new paint jobs on cars already in the game. I think gtplanet spotted twIn ring motegi in gt academy videos. Could just be more dlc. Anyone rremember how big the other updates were that included dlc?
From what I understand there will now be 2 GT5 game saves in the Game Save Utility. One being current, and one being a previous save. How far back I don't know. If you look at the GT-A game saves, it's been doing this since it came out. It's just a back up in case you screw up something, you can go back to the older save.
For people like me who back up their game save to a thumb drive after every gaming session, it probably won't make any difference.
When we get the cars we ought to evnet something with them in stock form.
So 10 laps of the Nurburgring with the Nissan Leaf it is!!
(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/Concur.jpg)
the filesize does seem a bit large for what they mentioned. ther must be some sort of "media" included. Track. Car. More music (would have been mentioned so probably not) or new sound effects (same here).
replacing some code or even adding a new feature that does not require its own new media elements would make it a much smaller update than it was.
My money is on a new track. Motegi seems logical given the clues people have noticed...

As to the cause, I almost wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a combination of things that just overloaded the network. New / free DLC (there was a PSN Plus update I think), streaming media, the BF3 Premium release and other online activity as well as whatever normal (or increased amount of) hacking attempts that just all contributed to overload the network.
I be surprised if Sony actually told us the whole story, though I am curious to know what really happened.

I should not have posted because I really don't know shit about it. I sort of remember reading somewhere about two manufactures sharing a platform and I thought it was this car.

Yes, but one is a Scion and the other is a sandwich.
Er, I mean one has a Scion badge and the other has a Subaru badge... which makes a difference when shopping.

Today I was pushing a grocery cart through the store. I actually said (in my mind) "God, this thing understeers really bad."
I couldn't remember which camber/toe settings would help the cart.

put the heavy stuff in the back of the cart.... laundry detergent, meats, soda etc. lighter stuff in the front.

I do this all the time with 50 pounds of cat littler and its a world of difference compared to putting them at the front of the cart.

i hear that the store may not update upon download of the update, though.
will be intersting to see.
and cobra_girl, I'm not sure if it really is on our game disc, but that last update was over 400mb and did not seem to contain enhancements that should make up that much space.
so it could already be on your hard drive (well yea of course it is if you have academy installed) but I doubt it's from the game disc itself.
ACTUALLY come to think of it, my GT academy demo would sometimes spin the GT5 disc that was in my console. I wonder what it was doing?

Pike's Peak was reportedly on the disc as well and we haven't seen it yet either. The three that I remember being discussed before the game's release and weren't originally included were Spa, Motegi and Pike's Peak. We've gotten two of them so far, I guess we'll see in another 5 months about the next one!! (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/lol1.gif)

I checked about 5.15pm east side, both the free Scion and $5 track are available.
I like this track...but can those without DLC tracks drive them? If not, who's paying for this track?
I don't want to pay for a track that only some friends can use.
worst possible scenario, a 9yo kid on the front of the kart when you're trying to turn!!!!!!!
Why is the 9yo in the cart anyway?

They shouldn't be in the cart, they need to be standing / holding onto the front to provide downforce ;D.

Down force? Just how fast do you push that damn cart?
Can anyone tell me if you're allowed to turbocharge the Scion FR-S? The Toyota 86 GT does not allow FI which I find interesting and stupid.
I voted too, to be honest though I had a hard time finding 5 cars to pick that I'd actually want to see in the game from that list provided.
Finally, the CTS-V is on a damn list.
The voting was easy for me. I've wanted the Caddy for some time now. Then,I see a Porsche. Even though it might be the shittyest Porsche ever made, I still want it. And some fine Italians complete my list.
Thank you, MGT, for keeping's in the loop.
I would vote for more tracks.:stoopid: :stoopid:
id love to see the monte carlo added but im not wasting my time voting since im CANADIAN (from the ARCTIC continent i assume ???) my vote will be forfeited anyways . >:( odd how PD accepts our currency tho ::)
Are you level 40?
The guys will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you are at level 40 in b-spec, then you don't gain any more exp. Pts.
New bobs will advance and gain experience... But YOUR b-spec level can never exceed 40... Some of my ids are on their 3st iteration of bobs...

I understand that I can not advance more than 40, but my bobs are stuck at levels around 28. I am not really that concerned about there level as I am about there experience. I am referring to the little white bar on each of their pages that grew after each race. It has stopped moving and they don't seem to be getting any better. Also the other green graphs on their pages showing increases in driving skill have also stopped increasing after each race. Is this normal? Will they begin to show improvement with out the graphic representation?
Thanks,

Thanks for all the help and advise guys. While playing around with it today this is what I found. Once you reach Lvl 40 in B-spec your bobs will not earn XP in the regular career B-spec races. They do earn XP if you use them in the online races witch in turn makes them better drivers in the career mode. I guess this is because the career B-spec is tied to your stats and not to your multiple bobs.
Once again thanks for all the help.

That white experience bar you refer to, That will only grow when you run them individually in the ingame B-Spec mode, they get none from remote races.

Unfortunately the Despondent Dave in me thinks that "lots of new tracks" will most likely mean "some new tracks with a bunch of different versions to pad out the "track" count!".
One new track could contain 3 basic layouts (east, west and full courses), a weather / time change version and a "historic" layout then suddenly you've got "5 new tracks!", apply this to say 5 new track locations and suddenly "OMG many new tracks, enough to knock off your head the hat you are wearing!11!!1!" because now there's technically 25 new tracks.
IMO one track should refer to the main track / location, so for example where the Daytona Speedway has the oval and road course they shouldn't be counted as two separate tracks and rather should be considered 1 track with 2 layouts.

Once you get to level 40 your bar goes black. However, your Bobs do gain XP and skills (at least until they also reach level 40).
Easy cross-check I did:
Level 38 driver with bar almost full enough to advance to level 39. Ran enough for 1M XP and he went to level 39 and filled the bar about one eighth full. Retired a level 40 driver and added new meat to the mix. Ran him enough for 1M XP and he went from level 0 to level 20-something. Both drivers also gained skillz.
However, once they reach level 40 they will start to lose them...
also also XP bar stayed black and at level 40 for the whole process...

Ooooooh are we getting the Fisker will it cause random fires on our PS3? For realistic effects. :o
... and don't forget even though all of track data will be stored on the Disk at release, we will have to pay a $5 DLC fee to access each variation of every track. Although we might get forward and reverse versions in one DLC pack. The game disk itself will retail for $99.99.

It still falls short of the unfettered awesomeness of the Alfa Romeo Cacciatore Pepperoni Calzone Risotto PerryComo Zamboni Mancini Mariachi Race Car though ;D
That Karma has good KARMA, me wantz!!! Followed one home today. Very fast but not as maneuverable in traffic as an RX8 - either that or they didn't know how to drive it...
Very bitchin' looking though. It had a wide stance - looked wider than a vette, viper, or even firebird trans-am. But it reminded me of the offspring between a mating of a high-end Ferrari and the Alfa 8C. (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/sp_drool2.gif)

It's weird that you mention this. Personally I disagree, I think function trumps form nowadays (how do we get the best mileage at x price point?)... anyway, I was reading a book and came across this:
"...would you say that American rock music and American cars have their classic periods in strange synchronization, and that the two hottest periods were around 1955 and 1969? Is it far to say that there has not been a good American car since 1969 and that rock 'n' roll was petering out hard after that?"
"If you had a loud 400 hp 1969 GTO with a Hurst three-speed on the floor and the Allman Brothers' 'One Way Out' playing as loud inside the car, would you not be unstoppable not only in all the serious adolescent ways but even now in nearly all of the serious postadolescent pre-senile ways?"
I think it's an interesting observation, although completely tangential to what you were saying, that cars and music peak at similar times. Considering today's music, cars must be terrible. :)

Hmmm, yet another GT-R and a subi that we basically already have. And, a buck a piece.
They tweaked the tire wear for endurance races. Thank them for addressing that issue. But, they failed to say what constitutes a endurance race. Is it 30 laps, 50 laps, 100 laps? One step forward, one step back.
Sorry, I'm in a foul mood today. I just want to rip into PD and pop the FUCKING ego. When I see all the goodies that other companies are producing, it makes me wonder what in the hell they are thinking over there. Is Kaz's dream now "The Academy" rather than GT? Seems so in my eyes.
Sorry again, Negative Ned out!

we've proven over at the deathstar that indeed tire wear model and draft slipstream have changed significatnly in the past two weeks without an update. some of that will be made perminent in this patch (I think).
I've bought every DLC they've spit out so far, I think I'm going to pass on this one.

Is this perhaps their only response to Forza Horizon's release?
That's an interesting discovery Ex! And it might explain how Brindle and I managed 20 laps (albeit a bit slow and wobbly near the end!) on one set of Sports: Soft tires this past Wednesday for the Tuna, though I did end up a good 2 seconds slower than my own best lap towards the end my Challenger still felt relatively happy riding around on the rims which I hadn't expected. I'd figured it was going to be WAY more twitchy and wanting to spin out than it was.
" Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height. (Vehicle height can be changed by adjusting ride height, either by installing a suspension kit or adjusting a full customizable suspension kit.)"
So they're fucking with how the tuning system works, both with this and down force adjustment, because I need a reason to retune all my cars?
After two fucking years, they decide to fix one of the fundamental aspects of the game - tuning a car. Why aren't they changing how the other tuning numbers affect cars? after all, I'm told by car guys that everything is backward.
Fortunately most of my tunes suck and perhaps their changes will make them better. :)

Agreeing with most others here .... I dont need more cars/more cars of the same. I appreciate GTAcademy, but if I dont drive another Nissan for a year, it'll still be too soon.
What I want is TRACKS. All these other racing games people are playing (no need to list) and they have more tracks than they know what to do with. Re-energize the game with tracks, and not these bonehead cars that we already have.
Nods at the car count .... too many, never drive them all. One thing I can say about that tho, the lower HP cars arent used enough. Get a field of10220hp or less cars on a track like Deep Forest or Trial Mountain, and you cant have more fun anywhere. Awhile back, I was involved in a 6-week series using the Nissan March .... OMG, what fun. I so looked forward to that weekly race. Non stop door-to-door action at 80mph. It still ranks up to the top of my list of all time favorite memories on GT5

If they've made an overhaul to the way the tuning works (i.e. shit isn't ass backward anymore), it might be a nice thing to mention to us. Granted, maybe they did and I just didn't read it, but I figure if they did mention it, someone here would have posted a link and I don't recall seeing that.
A little communication to their hardcore fans would be much appreciated, you know, before we jump to Forza, iRacing, or Race 07.
I don't think all setting are backwards, just certain ones, mainly ride height. Jacking up the rear and slamming the front, should not give a rear drive car more traction, but as of right now it does.
(http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/icon_metoo.gif) I'll probably drop the 99 pennies for that Honda car because at least that seems like a "new" one but I've no interest in paying for the Toyota / Scion clone or yet another Academy / Schulze style GT-R.
Isn't the toe setting backwards? I think it shows front toe in as adding toe. ???
I think there's something a little odd with the camber too, I mean it seems to work as intended so far as I know but the way it's explained / displayed in GT5 might not be correct in terms of mechanical terminology. From looking at settings sheets in other games it seems that Camber is displayed as a negative value when the top is tilted into the body rather than a positive one as is in GT5, it still amounts to the same thing so if the value is say 3.2 the wheels will be tilted inwards at the top by 3.2 just that one game says an inward tilt is -3.2 and GT5 says is +3.2.
With umpteen GT500 cars in the game, I can't say I'm that interested in the new Honda, but might get it for something (a bit) new and different. I'm not touching the GT-R. If people speak favourably of the Subaru, I might get it, just for it's better stock settings than the 'Toyota' versions, which have horrendous stock suspension setups, as do their suspension upgrade defaults. I would then dispose of (most of ) my Toyota/Scion versions. This car (or these three cars, however you call it) is one of my favorites, regardless of its weak engine.
I wonder if we don't have a proper track creator so that we can't try to replicate real tacks that PD won't or has yet to give us.

It would be interesting to test the two versions to see if they behave like they are supposed to in real life. Then put custom suspensions on them with the same settings to see if they behave exactly the same (as they should).

True, but it's my understanding that the only difference between multiples of the same car are liveries. So IMO there aren't really "that" may GT500 cars. This Honda is an entirely different vehicle.
Now possible to select “Disable collisions” in the [Event Settings] of online races.
ID’s are now shown above cars when watching online races.
Response of the clutch pedal when using the steering wheel controllers “G25 Racing Wheel”, “G27 Racing Wheel”, “T500RS” and “TH8RS” has been adjusted.
Rate of tire wear in endurance races has been slowed (excluding formula cars).
Amount of air resistance change when altering aerodynamic wing settings has been increased.
Autopilot has been adjusted to prevent colliding with the wall when exiting the pit lane on the Tsukuba circuit.
Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height. (Vehicle height can be changed by adjusting ride height, either by installing a suspension kit or adjusting a full customizable suspension kit.)
So by endurance races, they meant all.
The disable collisions can be a good thing to use once in a while.

Amount of air resistance change when altering aerodynamic wing settings has been increased.
Autopilot has been adjusted to prevent colliding with the wall when exiting the pit lane on the Tsukuba circuit.
Adjusted the changes in control characteristic when altering vehicle height from standard height. (Vehicle height can be changed by adjusting ride height, either by installing a suspension kit or adjusting a full customizable suspension kit.)
So by endurance races, they meant all.
The disable collisions can be a good thing to use once in a while.
I'm curious to test ride height and and aero downforce adjustments.

With umpteen GT500 cars in the game, I can't say I'm that interested in the new Honda, but might get it for something (a bit) new and different. I'm not touching the GT-R. If people speak favourably of the Subaru, I might get it, just for it's better stock settings than the 'Toyota' versions, which have horrendous stock suspension setups, as do their suspension upgrade defaults. I would then dispose of (most of ) my Toyota/Scion versions. This car (or these three cars, however you call it) is one of my favorites, regardless of its weak engine.
I wonder if we don't have a proper track creator so that we can't try to replicate real tacks that PD won't or has yet to give us.
True, but it's my understanding that the only difference between multiples of the same car are liveries. So IMO there aren't really "that" may GT500 cars. This Honda is an entirely different vehicle.
There are minor differences between the different year cars I'm sure (other than teams/sponsors), and have reliable info that all NSX's are not created equally. If this was an NSX-GTR-SC430-Fairlady, no way I'd touch it. The fact that it's a completely new to GT car makes it slightly interesting...but it's still a GT500 car.

It would be interesting to test the two versions to see if they behave like they are supposed to in real life. Then put custom suspensions on them with the same settings to see if they behave exactly the same (as they should).
I'm thinking the same thing.
People complained about tires. PD tweaks tires. People complained about tweaked tires. PD tweaks tires some more.
Some people wanted total reality when it can never happen. We really just need something that works for this video game.
If they can tweak tires and fuel so we can compete with each other on different strategies that would be awesome.
How can PD keep screwing up the sounds of race cars? The real HSV-10 sounds awesome going around Suzuka, but the PD version sounds crappy! >:(

I havent been online, but reading the official PD explanation of the new tire wear ....
Isnt that just for endurance races IE: A-Spec and B-Spec?
(For GT5 purposes) Once you equip the fully adjustable suspension, the cars will be for all intents and purposes the same...or at least they should be once you make a few adjustments.
That is my assumption as well, but another forum put up some stats @ Daytona with Nascars and they were getting 30 laps on softs. More testing, but maybe there is a lap cutoff .... whereas anything less than, say, 10 laps, and its the old high-wear model. Over 10, its considered endurance, and new model is in effect. Just shooting from the hip on that one ....
Its also mentioned that draft is functioning in free run mode
I guess I need to get online .... 8)

I may be misunderstanding, but I think you've missed the part where I tested this and the ride height is most definitely chnaged when you put on a fully adj susp. exactly how much lower it goes is not obvious so the setting you'd need to input would not always be the same for every car. It even lowers between the three stages of suspension upgrades.
Sports suspension lowers a little
Ride-Height Adj lowers a little more (default settings)
ANd fully adjustable lowers a even more (default settings)
If you take two cars that have identical chassis but different suspensions, then rip out the suspensions of both cars and put custom ones in, then set both to have the exact same settings, both cars should perform exactly the same. If the suspension number still mean different things, then the suspension system in GT is a pretty bad hack.

Apparently it is certain tracks or certain race lengths that are causing the tire wear to go into "endurance" mode rather than making tire wear act the same all the time.
lap count or track choice could affect tire wear, which royally sucks as a band-aid solution IMO.
<<As for the sound issues with the cars, I agree they don't sound as good as real life, but if you go into the options and set your Audio Settings to "small theater" or "large theater" it will help make it better. The dynamic range by default is very flat and uninteresting.
:stoopid:
Does anyone have the BRZ? If so can you tell me the stock suspension settings or review the car's handling on a track with camber/bumps (HSR/Deep Forest/Spa's first sector) Give me something :-\
"I drove the BR-Z and FR-S back to back at Nurb, Tsukuba, Grand Valley and Trial Mountain, both stock. The handling is identical, as were my lap times. The only difference between these cars in GT5 are looks and engine note."
It really does handle differently. It's different enough to warrant the 1 dollar they charge for it. Compared to the Toyota twins, the BRZ is much more neutral, and I've yet to find any under or oversteer. It's very grippy on standard Sports Hards, but it's still fun to drive. It's an interesting contrast to the Toyotas.
.. but asking here is better. More intelligence.

Tried all three settings and it still sounds crappy! I use a PC sound system(Klipsch 2.1)for my game room. It sounds great for movies and other games i play. Kaz and PD has had five games to work on getting the sound close! If the sound on GT6 is not greatly improved it will be the last Gran Turismo game for me.

I have those for my pc. Nice speakers.
For GT5 gooder sound I think you need to get a surround receiver that does DTS. They are not that much money anymore and sound great for movies.
The FR-S, 86-GT, and BR-Z are the exact same cars except for the suspension settings (and maybe some styling). Subaru and Toyota decided to use different suspension settings. So if you put new suspensions in and set them up the same, they SHOULD perform the same. If you are correct and the suspension settings are relative to the original settings then they WON'T perform the same since the original settings were different (or should have been). That is pretty dumb.
I think what Ex means regarding the Ride Height on different suspension upgrades is that each suspension kit has a lower base ride height than the previous one, so if any car has a stock ride height of 10" then you apply the the Fixed Sports suspension the base ride height is lowered to 8" due to the better spring / shock package, the Height Adjustable kit would have a base ride height of say 6" and the Full Custom one a base ride height of 4".
Yep!
The ride height counter of the adjustable kits only reference to the difference in current height from the kit's own base ride height. So if you use a kit with a base ride height of 6" it still reads 0 for the ride height counter because it's neither higher or lower than the starting height for that kit (even though that starting height is 4" lower than stock).
Yep, 0 just means default, not "stock".
The easiest way to demonstrate it is to go to the garage and check the tuning menu of almost any production street car, make sure it's set to Stock suspension and take a look at it in the little turn table viewer mode, remember the gap between the bodywork and the wheel. Go back to the tuning and put on the full custom suspension but leave the ride height at 0 / 0 then go back out to the turntable and wait for the car to rotate, on almost every car I've seen you can see right away a difference in the space between the wheel and body.
actually that's what I did with the photo mode early on in GT5. Made sure my vantage point and zoom were identical and then switched back and forth between the pics to see the differences in space between tires and wheel wells.
wow thanks for doing that Feldynn.
ok so now we know that the numbers are all set the same, which they SHOULDN'T be (there's that word again)
by "Fail" did you mean that they just didn't drive well or that they failed to all act the same?
Did they all have the same levle of "fail" in them?
and most importantly, when they all had the identical settings and you drove them, did they all feel teh same to YOU? That last part is somewhat subjective, but we all here would trust your "feelings" I think. :)

I did a little testing after getting the 2.08 update, and this....
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w96/BAJAZR2/STVM_ChromeTuna/5oowheelie.jpg)
...is no longer possible from a standing start.
BUT, the same odd ball ride height still yields better rear traction, just not as prominent as it use to be.
With the front slammed and rear all the way up, on RS tires, there is zero spinning, but no wheelie.
Reverse it with the front all the way up, and rear slammed, it'll will spin on launch, same tires.
So it appears they didn't completely fix the ride height issue, just toned it down a bit.
...sounds completely ass backwards to what it should be IMO. ???
Does anybody know what the "Change" box is next to the automatic race timer? What does checking it versus unchecking it do?

while the obvious criticism of that new button should definitely be "if you enhanced something in the lounge controls, why wouldn't you tell us and explain WTF it does?" I also think we should look at the positive.
They ARE looking at lounge/lobby controls and doing something.
here's to hoping it will continue and go in a direction that gives us much of what we've been asking for.
I hear they are starting to pay closer attention to forum posts...
Excerpt from some planet news.
The game will be running at “4K resolution”, the new video standard which touts four times the 1920×1080 resolution of current HDTVs, and is powered by four PlayStation 3 consoles.
Excerpt from some planet news.
The game will be running at “4K resolution”, the new video standard which touts four times the 1920×1080 resolution of current HDTVs, and is powered by four PlayStation 3 consoles.
I'm only partially sure of what this means. Other than improved video, does this fix anything?
I think we'll see GT6, it will be a complete fiscal failure, and ultimately the end of the GT franchise.
wll if the new console is significantly better-er enough then it could be fine.
but let's say this 4k resolution requiers 4x the amount of processing power (just a guess, and an uneducated one actually) then hopefully the PS4 will actually have more like 6 to 8 times more powerful so that it can not only display the higher resolution, but also give game devs the ability to do more with their games. for PD that means making physics more complex and accurate (part of their inaccuracies have to do with workarounds to avoid using more processor time) and making everythign look better as in more polygons on cars and scenery.
So yes, unless SONY makes the PS4 many many times more powerful than the PS3, it may prove to be the end of GT because GT won't be able to grow to the degree it needs to.
I'm not much smarter than anyone else, so sorry if I come across that way :D
but look at it like this: if they make a new more powerful console, it erally won't look that much better without a better TV technology, and then people will wonder why they need to buy it. If a game displays in 1080 and the TV does too, then the console is delivering one dot of graphics info for every dot the TV can display.
so why create a new console generation? Of course, the remaining thing they could do without providing higher res images is to simply include more detail in the images.
a GT example would be more cars on the track, evne if the res doesn't change. Instead of 16, we could have 32.
But then there's the issue of network infastructure allowing so many players to engage in racing together.
But just imagine like 32 Tuna going around the Nurburgring together? That would be awesome!
Multi-class races would actually be interesting, as you'll have plenty of competitors for each class on the track at once.
But hopefully the new console allows higher resolution pictures AND the ability to add a lot of complexity to the games too!
Don't let new technology get in your way of having fun.
What PD is demoing at a high tech show today is old news. I posted about them doing this in NYNY (a city so nice they named it twice) a couple of years ago and it doesn't look as if the tech has changed much since then. SONY would be daft trying to sell that video/console requirement to us, so wait and see what the PS4 can do first.
However, the real new tech will need new screens to fully take advantage of it and these are still very large screens, around 100", or so. Before you buy a new TV, you should figure out your viewing distance to see what size and resolution is required anyway (your eyes can only see so much resolution), and I doubt many of us need or can actually make good use of a 100"+ screen.
my living room is barely large enough for a 42"...
I'd imagine that the new TV's won't all be that big (100") but rather be "normal" sized
my living room is barely large enough for a 42"...

That's where you would be wrong, from what I understand.
They really are creating 100"+ screens now. They aren't widely available, of course, but NHK is one of the few companies in the world that even have a Super HD camera (SONY's?), to create the content for these huge screens. I think some were used at or for the recent Olympics.
So this is why I am not in any great hurry to see 4k and 8k content. The TV signal delivery system also needs to be figured out, and so on. I don't have need or room, nor the smackaroos, for an 8-10' screen.

Its amazing that Kaz/GT5/PD continue to make these updates or provide status to make it sound like its 'their' problem to fix. Anyone that ventures outside of GT5 knows that this is a PSN issue, but those that dont are disillusioned into thinking PD is some kind of wonderkid.

I'm happy about this bit.
- The [Tire/Fuel Consumption] settings under [Event Settings] of the Online Lounge can now be set in four levels; "None", "Normal", "Fast", and "Very Fast".
I think people are nuts. I ran 18 laps in the Ford GT LM Race Car (or something like that) for the enduro that's at the end of the month. I didn't notice any appreciable change in the way the car handled in the lounge I was in. I also ran a few laps in the Viper, and same thing, no noticeable change in the physics.offline pyshics are different cars are harder to handle offline since 2.09
Offline physics might be different, but online seemed the same to me.
I have no idea if I actually have a point to this post.
It is a wired connection plugged directly into the modem I have unplugged the wheel. The master account may not even be on the ps3 anymore but the tech at sony assured me this is not the issue at hand. Honestly he could have been talking out his ass for all I know.
I had to reload the update after trying to load a car for another game (ya, I know) then I had to reload 2.09. Took 45 minutes. >:(
Ninja and I did our updates at the same time. Mine took 5-10min for both (GT5 and PS3). His took over an hour.
The only difference was the order in which we did it. I did GT5 and then PS3. He started with the PS3 system update. (I only did one console though so I have three more chances for failure)
No luck yet. If sony cannot fix this I may be done with all this BS. A console should be the least diificult of the gaming choices and yet someone within our group always has issues. Computers are way too effin complicated. I am just about fed up with all of it. Maybe its time to find a new hobby a move on.

But what is important is the car and tracks. Maybe based on your post the movie should be airplane. I'd suggest Top Gear as a track since it's an airport but that can be a messy place to race (though that might be fun). Any Saabs in the game? They make nice airplanes.
Before I go and try it I wanted to check with you guys. If I add a turbo stage whatever can I try it out and then decide I don't want it and take it off or am I stuck with it.

Keep an eye on the PS3 Store for 15th Anniversary GT specials.
At the moment, the only official info about this is on the Japanese Store.

Willow Springs possibly coming to GT?

This track is in pCARS. It's not what I'd call a favorite, but it's not bad either. Pretty fast and wide open. Any new track is good news though! :)
Heh, I figured it was just a Cape Ring variation or random Toscana track when I saw it.
I'd be nice to get a new track, but I'll believe it when I see it.
If it is scanned, I'll take a wild guess and say it's not a track we'll see in GT5. I think they'll hold it for GT6. And to be honest I hope they do hold it for 6.
I'll also revise my opinion on this track. It's quite a fun track to drive... it's biggest issue is the scenery. It's boring as shit.
has anyone actually downloaded the new un-bagged Vette?
i don't see it in the store.

What if PD just dumped GT6 on us this year with no warning? That'd blow everyone's minds, wouldn't it?
I asked because Croonah was saying what about running them tonight. Tried to get it and it wasn't there.
The online service will go offline at 3:00pm EST and return at 5:00pm EST, so as of this post we have about 2 more hours to wait before we can go to the store and DL the new STINGRAY.
Please adjust for timezones accordingly.
That is all.

YOU CAN HAVE THIS CAR IN ANY COLOR as long as it's Torch Red or Cyber Metalic Gray.
Er, my, guard?
DONUT CARE!!! OFF TO THE TRACK!!!
All you can do (tuning) is stiffen the chassis and get better rubber.
I may be one of the few that actually liked the way the bag handled and the lack of tuning did not bother me. ^-^

Is there a way to change the color before you download from the store? This gray color looks like shit. I want red.

Doubtful. I think you have to go to the dealership and buy the red one.
If they gave us the red one, how many of you would have bought the gun-metal grey?
Earlier today, I pointed this out to SCEA, so I hope they take the observations seriously.

Moreover, I hope they take YOU SERIOUSLY. Apparently, PD does something and then it's left to SCEA to tell them they effed up. Wait, I misspake......we find their screw-ups, you notify SCEA, they opt to either just listen or do nothing (hold on, isn't that the same thing? LOL). After considerable pleading, groveling and begging, they MAY elect to ADJUST the setings (never admitting that they effed up. Oh, wait, KY can do no wrong.

I updated and can't load GT5. It goes into a funky loop. Iceholes indeed.
Turbo, you are not alone. According to the planet, 35% of the GT population is experiencing this looping issue. It is not isolated to a specific region. It's happening around the globe.
From all that I've read on it, it looks like you will need to wait for a patch from PD.
Anyone know what kind of maintenance this update is supposed to entail? It's been offline for a long time for something like a store update.
What did they fuckup and what are they scrambling to fix?
Wow, they've really buggered the badger with this one.. first it was until 8pm PST yesterday, then 7.30am PST this morning, now it's 2pm PST this afternoon.
Playstation..

The latest.
Update 2: A PlayStation Knowledge Center update says PSN maintenance in North America is now scheduled to end tonight at around 9PM PT.
The loop problem is related to game saves. I can start GT5 (no PSN access of course) with my other accounts on my PS3. Just not my current main account. So, IF we can sign on to the network tonight, I can race, just with an alt I'.d.

Was that written in English? I was lost by the 4st step.
I didn't write it, I just posted the link as a possible fix. Starting a new game is an option too. I actually enjoyed starting over. Of course that was over a year ago and may not be as fun now. :)

I sort of did this about 15 months ago, but not on purpose. After a night of several really good beers, I went to save my data to a flash drive and didn't pay attention or couldn't read and restored the shit from the flash drive to the PS3. I went from October 2011 to December 2010.
Mental note--don't do a game save after drinking.
I've had to restart GT5 a few times in the past few months, too. It gets up to the logo and goes no further, so I quit and restart, then it works.
Not very reassuring.
I'm not sure why I had to restart, but it probably had to do with all the updating and dlc I had just dealt with. I expect that it was a one time thing, and something unique to that situation. That's what I hope anyway.
Somehow....
I got a corrupted car because some time ago I reverted GT5 to 1.00. When in 1.00 I switched to a car that was painted a color not available in 1.00. This corrupted the car, because 1.00 didn't understand the car. I have not been able to use that car since, so this is the car I sold for this fix.

The 2.11 update is live and it rolls back the PP system to 2.09 standards. The loading bug is fixed, too.
There are two other changes, both of them less critical than these. See the News item.

If anyone has been holding back on buying GT5 DLC, SONY is handing out $10 coupons that can be spent on anything in the Store, now. ;D
Apparently, this is a random gift. I did not receive one and I am told that it is not a tie-in for tonight's announcement.

It's just one step closer to the Singularity.
They never even showed the console casing or mentioned the price - but being based on PC-architecture, just what does a fairly "high-end" PC system cost?
And is that "high-end" in Sony's venacular? Because I know in mine, "high-end" costs about 4-5x what a PS3 does... :o

From what little hardware info I saw the other day I would imagine $450 would be a reasonable price, looking at it from a PC component angle and based on just a brief look at some online parts prices.
Of course I probably wouldn't want to spend more than about $350 for a new console, $400 at most for a launch one.. I'm halfway expecting the PS4 to come in somewhere in the $400-$500 range at launch though I would hope it'll be cheaper.

Someone's been watching too much anime tentacle porn again haven't they Croonah :P.
My guess is $500 at launch. And they'll be losing money at that price.
I just looked and I got a $10 card. Why? I have no idea. I've only bought GT and Battlefield add ons throughout my PS life.
Feldynn, I thought I was the only one who hated what they have done to the store. Glad I'm not alone. ^-^
Croonah, you bring up a good point. I still have my launch ps2, and to top it off, it still works. Sony definitely needs to get that kind of reliability back.
Why
Why
In any kind of competition, game, event, challenge, etc., there will always be one or more individuals that will not be able to compete at a high enough level and will find "chinks in the armor". They will cheat because they cannot honestly compete. They think they are "clever", but they are only kidding themselves. Ultimately, when the challenge becomes publicly unavoidable to them, they will repeatedly fail miserably, and will be humiliated. This is their destiny, but they refuse to accept it, thinking they can go through life avoiding reality. This is the sadness and sickness of these individuals who were never given a strong sense of honor, moral turpitude, and responsibility.
Oh, yes, I had just enough Psychology in college to "screw me up" for the rest of my life. :laugh :D
They must be still giving out the $10 coupons.

Just a "Heads Up" since this last up-date (2.03). A lot of crap has been happening in the lounges....i.e., Disco'ing ((http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/nonono.gif) No, NOT Dancing), Locking up/freezing, etc. Even the Headsets are getting issues that weren't there prior to the 2.03 update.
DO KEEP a GAME SAVE current. I got disco'ed the other night and was bounced right out of the PS3....Sucker shut down, Beeped 3 times and turned off.....scared the shit out of me, I though I was getting a YLOD ( (http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss272/james_mikel/STGT%20forum/nonono.gif) Shut up). When I started it up again, I went to load GT5 and my game save was whacked....Had to re-load my backup.
I have been disco'ed more times since the 2.03 update that ever before. I have lost game data (tuning charts reset), My Car Thumbnails got whacked and I had to re create them - That was 2 FUCKING hours.
Just urging that caution be taken to protect the game save each of you have worked so hard to develop. ;)
When GT5 craps out and just hangs, try removing the disc before actually resetting or powering the hardware down. When you take the disc out it doesn't seem to harm anything, but it unfreezes the game.
A car collection game mechanic is almost at odds with a car ownership game mechanic.
GT5 has several sorting anomalies... On only has to sort paints to see. Weird shit happens there. I've had the same paint (mfg/color) show in top "unsorted" and sorted in as should be down the page.

Thanks again for your huge support during E3 this year. If you missed any of the great trailers from the show, check out our wrap up post.
In order to continue bringing you the best online games experience on PSN, we will perform routine maintenance beginning the morning of Tuesday, June 25th. This maintenance will start at approximately 9:30AM PT (10:30AM MT / 11:30AM CT / 12:30 PM ET) and will last until around 4:00PM PT (5:00PM MT / 6:00PM CT / 7:00PM ET). During the maintenance period, you may receive a maintenance notification when attempting to access PSN.
The PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management will not be available during the maintenance period but you will be able to access online play and apps provided that you have signed in to the Network at some point between now and the time of the maintenance. So please be sure to sign in now if you wish to access the PlayStation Network during Tuesday’s maintenance window.
Additionally, our teams worked hard over the weekend to ensure that this week's store update can be released later tonight (night of June 24). This will allow you to hop into the store tonight ahead of tomorrow’s store update post, and pick up your purchases prior to the Tuesday downtime. Since this is an early update, be sure to take advantage of any current sales now, while you can. We recognize that Tuesdays aren’t the best day for maintenance, but it was required. As noted, we did our best to ease the pain that this may cause.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your support.
well, they may have abandonded doing major changes to GT5 (one could rightly ask, if it's not totally detrimental to the game, why bother at this point?) but at least PD and SONY appear to be working on the connectivity problems we've had lately.
I was in a race w/ MastrGT on Saturday where he said he would send in another report that the issues still weren't resolved.
Now, I'm not saying anything for their "skill" at improving things for us, but at least they are trying ;)

Right. What is up the the disconnects? It seems to have started at the end of May for just about everyone I know. Now whole rooms implode.
Thanks... Wonder why they didn't make APEX.
As to disconnects. We had major difficluties on saturday and sunday - entire rooms collapsing. Last night I witnesses multiple disco's at TuTu. IMHO, the problem still exits.

I was wondering about those that left last night and came back. I was hoping they just needed to change oil or something.
PSN update is coming out tomorrow. Though I'm not sure that has a chance of helping, since we stay connected to PSN and just get kicked from game server.
@MastrGT
Do you think KY and PD have ever heard of "Christmas in July"? How about approaching them about lifting the $1M gifting ban so that we can finish up GT5 with some flare as we wait for GT6 to drop...
It would be nice to have some races in very, very expensive cars and race cars but one can never know if people have them. If we could buy and gift expensive cars to our friends and peers it would facilitate some awesome racing to close out GT5. A fitting tribute of our love and enjoyment of the franchise; as well as, showing the game community that they (PD & KY) listen and respond to reasonable user requests and desires.
If you can make this happen I am sure the Tunas would inundate your account with very expensive cars. Any $20M cars you're missing? Or maybe some $5M race cars?
Y'all may already know this but...
Restoring a car takes it to before break-in. If you restore you will need to break the car in again. I hadn't thought that was the case but noticed it yesterday with a couple of Duetto's so I decided to do a controlled test.
I cloned a Protege so I had two with identical mileage, specs, etc... Took both and restored only one. Then with an oil change and all bolt-ons the restored one was 435pp. Took the unrestored one, added all bolt-ons and did an oil change and it went to 439pp. Let my 'Bobs run an Enduro in the restored one and afterwards (and with an oil change) it made 439pp...
Net-net. Restoring a car takes it to factory specs. I had thought it did like the cars in the OCD which are: do an oil change and they're broken-in already...
I don't know all of the ins and outs of shutting down GT5, but people lost a lot of stuff (assets).
Apparently, GT6 is not designed in the same way, so when they shut it down, that same thing should not happen. At least that was how it was explained to me about licences, although I am not sure what else has been taken off of the GT6 servers yet and added to our game save. Fingers crossed...

I thought while skimming PD's announcement on GT5's shut down that the Car Hauler would no longer function. I had a ton of cars in that hauler and I would guess that's what has most folks pissed off.

All the tickets are still in the hauler, I have 167 in one account, and you can still get the cars. I opened a 1000 ticket after the shutdown and got the 10 mil alfa TZ.

That was from August 3rd.
Here is a comment on Reddit from yesterday...
"I can respond as I'm the guy who wrote that tweet. There's a lot of nuance to the situation and not a lot that I can say right now, but:
1) The PS4 does have a system which checks for security chips on certain USB devices.
2) The G27 was designed years before the PS4 was announced, so there's no PS4 security chip.
3) We are investigating what we can do. We don't have a solid answer yet, so we're being as honest/open as possible: Currently the wheel doesn't work with PS4, and there will be a chip that will always prevent full functionality with the PS4."
So how did the T500RS get this chip?
So how did the T500RS get this chip?
Exactly. That's the question everyone is asking.
Does anyone know if the T500RS has full functionality? It could just be the limited functionality.
The other assumption is that since they're officially licensed with Sony, Sony somehow bypassed this chip for the T500RS.
Also, I just realized I put this in GT5 thread. ^-^
It sounds as though the bullshit level is pretty high with that explanation.
I signed the petition too.
Also, I came across this today.
