A livery I made for our forum races. =)

How do you even do it? I'm having enough trouble just making a "Dawn Chasers" windshield banner...

p1l0t 03-30-2022 12:50 PM

I really need to up my livery game

I don't know how those crazy liveries are made, like the one I was running before. I got that one from someone who made theirs available.


This one, I just searched decals for flowers, hearts, and the character's name. Then just take some time placing the decals where I wanted them. The thing that took the longest was putting "KAOTIC LAZAGNA" on the rear spoiler. That probably took 3x as long as putting everything else on.


I spent more time on my other liveries in GT Sport, like this one:

If only I could search by Japanese characters (not that I can read hiragana), I think way more decals will show up in searches :(

I don't have the game on right now, but I think you go to "discover" (or was it "showcase") in the world map (towards the left side of the screen). Then go to "content search." Then switch "type" to "decal" and search to your heart's content. lol. If you want to use someone else's livery, keep the "type" to "livery" or what ever it is and filter by the car you are currently using since liveries can only be applied to the car it was created on.

Thanks! I'll check em out tomorrow or maybe tonight

WolfpackS2k 03-30-2022 02:13 PM

Gonna tell you guys right now that I suck at liveries. If I have the time to play the game I'd rather be driving (not that I don't respect what others prefer). I'll get something together:party0030:

Sorry I'll be missing the first race :mad0260:

p1l0t 03-30-2022 02:32 PM

I love designing liveries I just want to finish the Café menu books first before I get too obsessed with art [emoji439] to concentrate on racing. I might try to come up with something though soonish..

I'm opposite. I'll get enough credits to get the cars I want and after that, I go into livery and online. Online mostly to hang around.

Also am I blind or GT7 don't have self race. Like You just drive around certain tracks to practice &/or tune your setup. Only place I've found is online & co-play.

Yeah I don't know why the Circuit Experience only allows you to use GR3 cars... maybe because of the time goals. There is the music rally where you just drive the track and the A.I. is just tame basically traffic not racing. They really need to add open practice and qualyifing to single player. I suppose a multiplayer arena that is invite only works though. Or just only allow friends and only FT86club guys will come to bother you..

There's an Arcade Mode on almost every track, kind of like quick race, where you can still earn credits. Im not sure if it allows zero AI competitors, but I know it allows basically no PP limit so you can bring whatever you want and race it against the AI. When I did testing for the Fully built RX-7, I raced on highest difficulty, against a wide arrange of cars on the track; Classic Mustang, a Slingshot, Miuria, DeLorean, 93 Miata.

gen3v8 03-30-2022 05:10 PM

Is there a particular track you all will race on? So I can practice or I`ll spend more time crash and burning.

Which menu are you at now? The last few are pretty difficult, at least on hard mode.

Yeah, I know there's arcade mode. Just simple lap around the track for your self AT or tuning. iirc GTS had it and I kept driving in Tsukuba to tune the suspension, LSD & gear ratio for hours and hours by myself.

Yeah TM is my go to track, also for my wife as well. I wonder where we gonna practice race next. Feels like whoever log in first & makes the online decide for practice. Unless we vote or chat about it here or in discord (?)

Kaotic Lazagna 03-30-2022 07:35 PM

What about Deep Forest for the next one? That or Tsukuba or Laguna Seca gets my vote.

As for the Japanese characters, I'm guessing it's cuz I'm in the US? I see Japanese players using characters for their tags.

I always assumed that time trials lets you use any car in your garage, but I've actually never tried.

Cheers for the replies. My Livery work is dead set Crap. So I found something, I like, and managed better race numbers this time

Kaotic Lazagna 03-30-2022 08:41 PM

That looks like it required way more work than my simple itasha liveries. Kudos.

p1l0t 03-30-2022 09:33 PM

I upped my livery game slightly... this is just a practice run though. "I got something for you.." Also yeah Deep Forest is another classic I'm down for that.

I got a GT3 997 ‘09 as a reward so I just went with that. Put racing pads, intermediates, some ECU tuning and weight reduction.

Yeah, I went back and used that same 911 after using the Taycan. I found it to be a handful, and found these adjustments best for my driving style. Only full suspension, tranny, and carbon brakes installed. Tires are slicks and intermediate, and I adjust the auto adjustment for the top speed according to the track.

spcmafia 03-31-2022 07:20 AM

Got my hands on a FC RX-7 yesterday and I gotta say, is probably one of the best handling cars out there. Took it to Spa on no modifications and finished 3rd on Arcade mode at Expert difficulty.

One weird thing is that it has a ringing noise around the 8K RPM, I wonder if its a buzzer telling you to shift up. But other than that, it takes the turns like there's no tomorrow.

I haven't tried mine yet, but if it's a dinging noise while in the cabin cam, that's just saying you're over 100 kph. LOL.

I dread getting to Porsche. If I've learned anything from racing games it's that I suck driving high powered rear engine cars and can never own one.

p1l0t 03-31-2022 11:58 AM

The worst is the downhill parts because the back will slide out even if you're not in the gas. I just got 2nd in the Nurburing German Schwartzland Cup. (Same as what you guys are on now just dry and much more bullying AI). I took a GT3, put racing slicks on it and nerfed the HP to like 73% lol. Worked out pretty well. Other than crashing the first 4x pretty quickly it only took 2 more long runs after that to get it. In the straights I could barely keep up but in the turns I was twice as fast.

The Porsche one wasn't too bad for me, personally.

The Ferrari one, though. :paddle:

That'll be bad too.


Haven't driven much Porsche (or Ferrari) yet in 7. But I still have PTSD from driving the '81 911 Turbo (don't remember what "tuning" was done) on the Nordschleife in GT Sport...it took so much concentration for me to even get a single clean lap. :mad0259:

I just got lucky on the first Porsche race in Nurburing in the rain or whatever I think. It was like one (or two) run(s) and I was all over the place but I never hit the wall or spun out completely and finished good enough to get the car. I did have extreme intermediate tires on though too which probably helped immensely. The other two were a bit more of a struggle. I feel like one of the tracks you could just go straight instead of doing the chicane and it didn't reset you. It's total BS I know, but if the A.I. spun me out I was like oh you can cheat well then I'm cheating to catch back up... so instead of restarting I just took back my couple of seconds. That probably cut down on the number of attempts by quite a bit. Otherwise if I know I'm not likely to finish 3rd or better I just restart unless I need to learn the course.

Did the Manufacturers Cup last night, around the 'Ring.

Qualified 3rd out of 15 (not too shabby if I do say so). On the first lap I tapped P2 on the second turn (left hand hairpin). Was accidental but I got by him. He got next to me 6 turns later and I gave him space. Still side by side on T7 and I kept giving him space (though I could have declined to). He pushed me into the sand runoff on the left and I dropped to 7th :mad0260::mad0260::mad0260:

Despite a few unforced errors for rest of the race I got back as high as 3rd but ended up 5th. Still a lot of fun :thumbsup:

You can hear the same chime on the FD. It's a warning to shift up. The cars came from the factory like that since the engine revs so smoothly they wanted people to be aware.

From what I can tell they are WAY TOO TWITCHY. It's not real. I haven't thrashed GT3s on track in real life but I have driven a 996 pretty hard and isn't remotely like 911s in the game, lol.
