Of course it must be carson, its hard to remember when the PSN is totally different to the username.

I got bored so i took some pictures:

Not that good but im not the best photographer

 

[berty1979]

They are so bad they are not showing up I was bored too! Go get U2

 

[DrifterJoe]

Can't see them, they're just those small squares with the red X in them. I quoted your post to see the address and they seem to be email attachments (which would only display here for the person who has the email account).

Try uploading them to something like imgur or imageshack 👍

I didn't save the replays from our most recent 2 races, but I have the replays from the first week. I'll probably take some pictures.

 

[berty1979]

Yeah I use imageshack too, some pics would be great Joe 👍

 

[Pagey279]

This is why I didnt take ICT at a level, I hate computers

Brett I'm on it, I should have it within the hour

 

[berty1979]

Awesome news mate, you ok to start basic training tonight?
Play the one player game until I get on at about 7 ish to sharpen your skills 👍

 

[DrifterJoe]

I'll probably get some picutres up in 2 days time or something around then. Got someone staying over tonight until sometime tomorrow afternoon, and then we have a 150 lap exhibition race at Autumn Ring Mini Reverse in the NASCAR series (chase postponed due to the bug, but we'll be having test races at tracks intended for inclusion next season).

EDIT: I might have time tonight before he comes round.

 

[Pagey279]

Ive played on it a few times before so i know what to do roughly, just getting used to the gameplay again

I think PD calculate a cars PP taking weight and BHP into account, so theoretically if we chose a pp, say 570 or something and then test them, they should all 'theoretically' be pretty equal.

No?

 

[Knelly]

Here's a challenge for you. Take your DTM car around Aspec DTM ST nurb and see how low you can take the BHP down and still win. I'm still rinsing the field at 385 BHP in the alfa.

No?

PP also uses the BHP and torque curves, aerodynamics, and weight balance.

 

[berty1979]

Wordup- PP is a poor system most of the time but occasionally works, we will try it. I am going off the idea of testing online but if someone tests all three cars offline and posts the results.
Ill do it tomorrow at certain pp values and post it here.

Knelly- Ill give it a shot tomorrow mate 👍

Joe- Correct sir!

Thats, right... PP system just good for the guys with time to tune, or you stay behind and behind

Ah PP system NOOOOOO I don't like it, I prefer power and weigh limits, so we can change the downforce to whatever we want 👍

 

[berty1979]

we are just testing options at the moment, I dont think the PP system will work as it rarely does. Lcpl Jones "DONT PANIIIC"

 

[pipi_r6]

Well i see the car specs now.

every car with same HP 430CV Stage 2 turbo /KG 1060 and DF 35/60

and the results are

Alfa 555PP Bin: 37Kgm
Merc 559PP Bin: 39Kgm
VXHall C 553pp Bin: 35Kgm Crap i don´t have the Opel

Just for Here we see the Calibra is gonna be the more slowest for the logic, now i go to the track!!!

GP/F, Hard Tires
Cali 2:04.544
Alfa 2:04.743
Merc 2:05.9 Stage 2 turbo/ 2:04.627 this car just work with stage 3 turbo and 36 Kgm lol

Later more tracks test

Knelly, took up your challenge Im down to 345bhp on my Merc, and ive been racing with all aids off apart from active steering (im using my steering wheel) and ABS, and im using a manual gearbox in cockpit view, quite close racing but think I can go lower on bhp

Dont use Active Steering. Causes you to slow down more

 

[Spurgy 777]

I was using the steering wheel, its almost impossible to correct oversteer without it on strong, normally I would be using my controller which doesnt need it Got down to 325bhp in the end, could go to probably 315ish but I got bored

Really? I find it easy to drift with steering wheel, just need to control your pedals more

 

[Spurgy 777]

You can probably drift better with a steering wheel, but the steering wheel doesnt have much feel in it at all so its more difficult, usually I just spin out if I try and floor it coming out of corners. Its a bit annoying really, would be really good if the steering was a bit heavier.

Do you use DFGT? If so, go into options, then Force Feedback and then select 5/6. Thats very good feeling 👍

 

[Spurgy 777]

Ok, put it up to 7 seen as it was already on 5 and should I put the power assited steering on and set it to simulation?

Simulation bit isnt for the DFGT
Um I have power assisted off, again it gives more feeling 👍

 

[Spurgy 777]

Isnt it? Oh never mind then and Ill switch it off then.

 

[Strawman Andy]

You can put it on anything, it doesnt effect it

 

[Spurgy 777]

Well, just incase I switched it back anyway I think the steering wheel makes GT5 a lot more fun, just going round nurb gp/f in my F10 with no aids at all, cockpit view and manual, just like real life without the G-Force, really quite fun but difficult too

Evening guys

I see on Page 1, that there is a remaining place to drive the Calibra?

If it is still available, I would like to put my name down for it!

I am a good clean racer, and have always had a passion for anything with a Vaux/Opel badge (even owned a Cally until not too long ago hehe)

Anyway, as I say, I would love to join the series!!

My PSN is GTP_DaveB

Cheers guys,

Dave

I think he drives in the DTM series? Seen him around and would like to vouch for him, if it's still free!
