In all seriousness, the DFGT is not a bad wheel at all. For the price it’s a great wheel. I used the DFGT for almost 2 years while saving for the Fanatec wheel and clubsport pedals. Would highly recommend it if it’s more in your price range.

Where do you live? In Spain now it is 230€ and i paid 350€ one week after the release. Still runs great and i only opened it 2 weeks ago for lubricate. Worth every euro or dollar you pay for it. Porsche Fanatec are very good too.

People stop complaining about laps and all that stuff.
I have a lot of fun playing in Nurburgring in Arcade mode. I just never tune the race cars (LMP,LMS…) or the sports cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren…). If everybody tune the car is way easy to win but with hard tires and the car as it is itself is not the same. IA is not as good as a lot of games cause i play GTR2, GTR Evo, Race 07,rFactor and those games have different levels of IA “power” (0% to 100% or 150%)and of course if you play with lower % you always win but if you set this up just testing the IA in one race against you. GT needs something like this and for other part races must start in the grid with all cars together not with 20 or 40 seconds of difference. I know in Nurburgring this is normal but in Race circuits not.-

By the way GT5 is still on my list of best racing games (i have signature edition) and i understand why it is not as “perfect” as a lot of people wanted to be. PD should look more at the competition (simulators in PC) and for other part not too much at the Japanese market (for the car list).
And finally i love this seasonal event. I bought all DTM (DTC) cars yesterday from the online car dealership.
P.D:Use the Audi R8 LMS (team playstation)for race in Nurburgring in arcade mode (no car modifications at all)and i bet any of you will have a good time trying to catch the Mclaren F1 (long-tail).(at least in 2 laps an above). Just try it.

How hard is it to have races with more then 5 laps for a change? or more then 5 races? Geez PD has no imagination.
-
August 12th, 2011 at 2:41 pm - #CorporateHammer
Really ? We’re now complaining about the number of laps ? You do realize you can use your own imagination and set up your own races with the number of laps you want right ? But I guess that would require you to think.
-
August 13th, 2011 at 10:08 am - #GTfanboy hater
to corporatehammer, arcade is pointless, no rewards so no thinking required (your natural state methinks).
-
August 13th, 2011 at 11:30 am - #CorporateHammer
LOL So you need someone to issue you cookies of some sort to make you feel good ? Rewards LMAO
-
August 13th, 2011 at 11:38 am - #CorporateHammer
Online mode will give you cookies and if I could think I could set up my own races and have cookies. Too busy with my complaining and fanboy bashing for that though.

I ran the Sarthe with the A4 and was 15 mph faster through the Porsche curves than with the Enzo in the previous Ferrari seasonal. Never changed setups in the A$ from the way it was purchased. Upped the PP a bit and used racing softs but it was much faster through technical stuff that the Enzo but of course would be no match on long straights.
-
August 12th, 2011 at 12:05 pm - #ripped
This is one of the best OCDs there have been, IMO. I used the A4 and smoked all 5 events right off. Quickly paid back for the touring cars purchased before hand. And yes, I do wish for more premium status cars. I also would like to see some of the cars from the 60′s carry premium status, like the 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA and the 1966 Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto ’66. Would also like to see a Fiat 850 Spider.

I have the Audi ABT TT near matching the times i set with an Enzo around La Sarthe, that shows what a good car can do.

Which in anyone’s opinion is the best car for it, i was uding the team playstation r8 lms

August 12th, 2011 at 4:44 am - #stjimmy
well, Ifirst tried the first race in the merc’ 190 E 2.5-16 Evo’ II ’92 with race softs and max tune and wasn’t quick enough, managed 6th. tried a couple of others too which weren’t much better. But the CLK touring car ’00 won all the races easily.

The alfa 155, max downforce, trans 240 works well for me

This is very cool! I love the seasonal events. Always something different to keep you coming back.

What are these people so unhappy about that they will troll this site and complain about a game that’s already went platinum. Doesn’t matter if you’re in a standard car on not, the game is still brilliant and updates are only gonna make it better.

Not the place to be asking but I’m having issues too with online. “a connection to the server could not be established -1.531″? tried everything to resolve this, no joy still.. Anybody?
-
August 11th, 2011 at 2:07 pm - #Phillguy
I do wish these where a little harder. They are too easy to be fun.
-
August 11th, 2011 at 3:24 pm - #EliteDreamer
Seriously? It’s called downtuning.
-
August 11th, 2011 at 3:43 pm - #Bubblelly542
But we shouldn’t have too
-
August 11th, 2011 at 3:52 pm - #EliteDreamer
Again, seriously? “Shouldn’t have to?” Annoying. Do it to have fun. If your having trouble with that, it’s your own fault. Also, use Racing Hards rather then Softs. Also makes it more fun. And if your not willing to do that… then your just wasting your time, and then your going to complain about it. Good day to you sir.
-
August 11th, 2011 at 4:59 pm - #Bubblelly542
Well I do use racing hards, and I still do it easily on the highest difficulty. Other game devs can make challenging AI so why can’t PD? That’s all, no need to troll.
-
August 11th, 2011 at 7:12 pm - #EliteDreamer
Woah woah woah. Not trolling. Giving explanations, yes. AI probably aren’t that good for the many features that are put in. And don’t go on about other games having more features. Maybe PD just doesn’t have the amount money to do things like the American companies and such.
-
August 11th, 2011 at 8:44 pm - #Bubblelly542
Well the AI don’t stop me from playing I just wish they were faster. I doubt it costs much to program another AI level.

Try it with sport tires in the Lexus. See how easy that is.
-
August 12th, 2011 at 12:18 pm - #ripped
Remember about down tuning. I remember there was a weight penalty added to touring cars for the drivers who were previous winners, if I am not mistaken. Don’t know about now. But any of these races can be adjusted by the participant to “even the playing field”. I wish we could run one make/model races. It can be done on the PSP version.
One thing that can be managed is difficulty, especially with tires and engine output. Drop the horsepower, redo gear ratios, and then go down a grade or two with tires. It can definitely be made “fun”.

GT5 is a major disappointment. It’s become a mundane boring game. Where’s te DLC courses we were promised? Mototrstorm Apocalypse is where I’ve had to go to get a good race. Thanks for screwing up what used to be such a good game.
-
August 11th, 2011 at 2:02 pm - #ken_b
Dude, you have 420 in your name and you still rant! Wow, mellow out! I completely disagree, with the right set up (driving rig) GT5 is an absolute blast!
-
August 11th, 2011 at 3:25 pm - #EliteDreamer
Also we were never promised with DLC crouses. Or DLC in the first place. K. Yamuachi said “probably.”
-
August 11th, 2011 at 7:45 pm - #Bu++ers bestest buddy
Lol…motorstorm apocalypse is for kids. The AI on it is shocking as is vehicle physics. Id rather french~kiss a scunk than play that game again. If you prefer it to GT you really shouldnt be on this forum….idiot. Now go to your room.

Motorstorm ? seriously ?
Oh 420 that explains allot.
