I was flicking through the GT5 instruction manual, and under the course editor section it said you can choose between making a circuit and a point-to-point track. But you can only do a circuit on the game. My hunch was that p2p tracks were dropped before the game. Any other ideas?
 
Point to point does show in in some special events, so my guess is that it is possible they could add it in update. They probably don't have it in currently because it was either flawed or they felt like people wouldn't use it. I wish they would add it, because it would allow for touge battles and rally style courses. Now, implementing point to point online would be the challenge. I don't know exactly how that would work.
 
Personally, I would love it if they did incorporate it into an update for the game, I'd really love some nice actual Rally Stages instead of Circuits..
 
Since Im very big Rally fan. This is a Huge flaw GT have for me.... since we have point to point in Single player rally challange.. why couldnt we do it online or just in A-spec create own point to point rally stages.. or just tracks... very weird agree!.
 
Being able to choose our own start and end points on the course maker would make for so much more variety. It's of less use if you can't, but perhaps it threw up a load of bugs in the course maker so they limited it to some pre-determined ones for special events which they could test.
 
Another one of the many things I was looking forward to that was nowhere to be found in the final game.


:(
 
I really enjoyed the point to point tarmac stages in the GT rally special event, it would be great if we could do more of those, the game sure could use being opened up a bit.
 
If i could make a track the way i want, rather than a random seed i would make the following.

Mt Akina
Mt Akagi
Mt Myogi
Usui Pass(Drifting C-121 would be a good challenge)
Irohazaka Slope
Shomaru Pass

As well as some others from Initial D
 
I would be happy if I could take all the hills out of Eifel track maker and make a relatively flat track. I've never seen so many blind curves after coming over a hill (no pun intended), there you go once again flying off into the fence and the little virtual GT bleacher crowd cheers...:dopey:
 
We NEED more RALLY! PD, please take a look at the DiRT series for inspiration on tracks/environments. Rally in wide-open spaces es no bueno...
 
I think they need to implement the rally special event into online rally events. It would be pretty fun to have random generated p2p tracks and rally against other people.

Or create your own stages using the course maker and making it into an online rally event. If you make all sections of the course with the smallest width possible, it isnt to "wide-open" and would make for some fun online rally action.


EDIT: In fact, I wish they would have a rally centric DLC with current/new 2012 WRC cars, maybe some standard to premium upgrades of the Group Bs (or the Escudo!), then have a track pack with Pikes Peak, and the ability to make p2p in the course maker and create online rally events. I would pay $25-$30 for something like that!

I'd LOVE point-to-point!
 
I'm waiting for this... I wonder how difficult is to implement such thing ...

Half a hour of work i believe (kidding), and put in the middle of an update...

Same here. We should start to seriously discuss about it (to make it popular enough) and ask PD. It is partially implemented to the game already (rally stages, Toscana Grand Tour challenge), and it was featured on the game manual.

There are a lot like him, including myself. I was really looking forward to that p2p creator. Being a huge rally fan, I envisioned making my own stages and then using them to have Rallys online.

Out of all the disappointing things with the game at release, the lack of p2p creation was the biggest disappointment for me.
 
It's was a disappointment for me too, when i entered the track creator and don't have this option...

I Would use a lot more the course creator if i had p2p..
 
I want this feature for rallyes too, but my number 1 wish is to create more normal "roads"... Point-to-point Mt. Aso ou a green scenery like Toscana would be cool.

We seriously need more course creator themes too.
 
The lack of a p2p track creator and constantly getting stuck in neutral when using the G27 H-shifter are my two biggest disappointments with gt5 :guilty:
