BF2S Forums [Gran Turismo 5: Prologue] Chatter

Yeah I found that out

But, I managed to do it anyway. Just about got a Bronze. So Now I've finished C/B. Have to do A now.

I also won the One Make Only Integra Type-R event.

5 laps around Daytona Oval. You start in the middle, it's all about using slip stream and just keeping as smooth as possible, because you only end up winning the race by a hundreth of a second and you overtake the pole in the last lap

Already did the GT-R on Daytona (I think that was a required event? Or was it High Speed Ring), but yeah, takes the piss (I think I did it on a 4X4 race or the GT-R race/time trial, can't remember).

Handles like bollocks and I've yet to fully understand how to drive 4X4 cars (wheras I'm pretty sound driving FF/FR/MR as I know about weight shifting and when to throttle in turns etc..) so that doesn't help that I'm a 4X4 noob...

I remember spinning out on HSP alot before I finally got it. Although spinning out whilst in the in car view = lulz

I'm gonna tackle the A class events tommorow. I flicked through it and saw those American Muscle races. Which car y'all recommend for that?

I would be if I had enough money. Done the M3 challenge, but I now need ~200,000cr to get the F430.. THEN i'll be done with it..

I thought it was my shitty driving when I struggled to keep control of the GT-R. Turns out it was my shitty driving and not a very good car?

That's what I thought, I also thought the car was supposed to have loads of grip, but alas, no. It sucks especially at Daytona, it DOES NOT like the bends, and skids out if you turn for too long. Buy the Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 as soon as possible..

I was wondering about this, and I thought I was being too aggressive with the wheel, but the GT-R 07 seems to understeer at higher speeds and then, when turning for a long duration, goes into roll-oversteer. That is a bitch to catch on the wheel.

Its a shame that you can't test drive the cars first. Buggered if I would splash 50K on a motor without a quick spin, (And someone giving me 50K )

Gonna try the Z06 now, see if thats nicer.

I agree with the part about playing online. I tried it last night and didn't like it much at all.

I may try it later but I don't hold much hope. :\ SP is fine and loads of fun anyway.

Class A is finally done

Class S will surely take some time to finish, the few races i've tried i have a hard time getting the bronze, the quick tune is a good addition

Don't wan't to spoil it for those that aren't there yet so i'll say no more

Bought the pricy F40 (450K credits) only to find out the F430 really handles better

For god's sake why does it come to the US like two weeks later -_-

You betrayed us Polyphony.

That said I might wait out until the full game is released... maybe they'll have some nice bundle... a bluetooth steering wheel perhaps

You'll get the prologue, we both know it

What cables come with the PS3?

I assume I'll have to buy HDMI and TOSLINK cables seperately...

HDMI is sold separately ... don't think you need anything else tbh ... atleast i didn't to hook it up to my plasma and surroundsystem ...

Check this price on komplett Jens http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=347390

The class A races are hard, it doesn't help that they don't let you qualify and they make you start at the back. Seriously, racing isn't about overtaking as many noobs as possible. It's about doing the fastest laps, nailing the corners perfectly etc.. and overtaking the AI takes multiple laps where you slowly creep up on them. Man, I hope GT5 has qualifying. I can't take starting at the back of the grid and overtaking everyone, it's so unrealistic, that never happens..

I have to keep repeating 10k races to get my F430.. ARGH!! So far i'm at 104,000. Another 130,000 to go.... :'(

10K ?

You get 20K pr race in Class A event 1 ....

I assume quick tune would be tuning the gear ratios, differentials, downforce, ride height, springs, etc.
