Don't feel bad, you are not alone. I suck at braking on Gran Turismo too because I just cannot tell how fast I'm going due of how the camera works on that game. I'm sure I could learn to watch the speedometer, but that's just no fun for me.

I don't need the line for games like Grid and Dirt, but I have to have it on for GT.

Lame. You make me sad once again GT5.

@Ichi, thanks for the one-on-one lesson on tuning the car. I learned a lot about the suspension settings now. Just need to keep on trying.

Thanks too! My G's suspension isn't fully setup the way I want, so just having few laps behind you helped to see where need to be fixed.

Did you look in my lounge and not your lounge? Cuz, I know for sure, when you were on, others were on my lounge. O'well maybe we might be do the same.

I should be on same time as yesterday, so message me for race!

You know thats what I did! I looked in my lounge thinking its one community lounge, didn't see anybody and went on to play NBA2K11.

I did notice a slight glitch. On the Community row, my pic isn't displayed. But when I scroll down till my s/n isn't visible then scroll back up, my s/n pic is there. It does it on ID, A and B tabs every time. Are you guys seeing the same thing?! Weird ish!

[ichitaka05]

Hm... I don't have that problem

[ichitaka05]

I'll be on playing GT5. Message me if you wanna do some racing.

most of the premium cars have fully modeled undercarriages.

If they did anything substantial I would like to see some Tsukuba lap times... they are generally fast in racing sims but add 5 seconds or so and it might be pretty close.

In real life or in GT5? Here's my time lap in GT5 @ Tsukuba


but of course it's not stock. I've tuned it to max w full custom suspension. I'll buy another one & try to see

Update:
K, I just bought another FT86c (yes, I have now 3 FT86c & 2 G's FT86c). I ran 20 times (10 laps, take a break x2) and fastest time I got was 1:05.735 (if I didn't sneeze on last corner, would of shaved 0.2sec). Average time were around 1:05.8xx~06.6xx.

Lol sneezed hahaha
I borrowed a g27 from a friend of myn but quickly realized it's fortunate I didn't buy it cus my tv is in front of my bed lol no way to mount the wheel

Been a little bit busy lately, so haven't had time to jump on. I did put in an hour of practice last night and online races.

Ended my night (or should I say day, since it was like 2:00am), with finally a decent enough lap at the NurBurg. The lap was not 100% and I could shave off another full second or two when I learn the track some more. The first half of the track I have down, it's the Second half I'm learning now.

Nurburg Lap Time
FT-86 GSport 7:18.361

New Sector Section Drift Score for Tsukuba Circuit
FT86c 14,820pts

Hey give sick Jap some break. I have some cold and sneezing like crazy for few days.

LOL that's funny. You can always change around to make it fit. I made my room to make sure to fit Playseat! Just the buying is different story. btw how different was it w G27 and regular controller?

I was running 1:06.XX on all stock except the middle suspension. No anti roll bar adjustment, and I just dropped it and went with -1.5/-1 camber front and rear, dampers 1 softer than max. A very 'stock' setup.

I figure it would represent an medium-ish tuned 'real' car (pessimistically assuming that the real car will be heavier and less powerful than the GT5 version).

Also a better player/driver could probably knock a couple seconds off my time with the same car.

Like I did pure stock 1:05.xxx

^^OOhh...I smell some competition...lol

I had to lend my PS3 to a buddy so I only play on the weekends. (weak self control...)

1:05... I'm game. Bone stock, no suspension mods? But will be tough for me...
