Just wondering if there was any news.

Would really like to see leaderboards.
Ability to save and recall tunes.
Adjustable final on close ratio trans
Adjustable gears and final on fully adjustable trans
Ability to change oil from garage on in online lobbies.
More options for restrictions in online lobbies.
Adjusted tire wear so that different types of tires last longer or shorter according to type of tire.
 
Don't wanna turn this into another request thread, but if they could chuck in offline time/weather adjustment, that'd be fine with me.
 
I would like to see a personal "Top Gear Leader Board"
So you can take all your diffrent cars on the Top Gear Track and have a record of whats fastest or slowest!
 
I would like to have a general cockpit view for all standard cars... or even 5 different
 
I know i've said this b4 but
Fix the odo's in the cars with wacky mileages so it reads correct mileage all premium cars should have working odometers as that was what were told fully working dials and gauges in premium insert odo in standard cars with a remove option so if you don't want it you don't have to have it, but for ppl like me the odometer function was the reason why i brought gt5 because if gt4 had it i thought surely gt5 would. if this doesn't get fixed in a patch once tdu2 arrives next month i won't be touching gran turismo again

I've wanted this from the beginning. I don't care what the interior looks like. Give me a black border and a black steering wheel. All PD has to do is place the camera inside the car.

are you serious!!?? thats rediculous they will never do that, the time and effort something like that would take would be crazy especially for something that has no bearing on the gameplay.

personally id like to see a better filter for the garage for viewing cars in different classes

and fixing the sometimes blocky shadows
 
You've gotta admit James, it is a bit OCD don't you think? Surely there a bigger fish to fry in this game?
It's hardly a game breaker is it?

Not really in the standard cars, but why say that all gauges and dials will work when in the integra 04 where the odo is it's blacked out the audi r8 reads 134,728 for some weird reason, i know it sounds overboard but why have mileage in a game if there is no odometer in there to track it. If my ferrari has it and mazda 90 model premium why not the rest, to me it is cause i don't drive in real life, and in real life cars have odometers and this is mean't to be the real driving simulator isn't it. It won't stop me from playing it but i would like it to be added but i won't be following the gran turismo franchise from here onwards. But my tdu 2 from next month will be getting more gametime. Cause Gran Turismo was why i brought a PS3 in the first place, and i brought gran turismo 5 because gt4 had an working odometer in place so i thought that gt5 would.
 
Ok, so you can't track it in-race.. It's viewable in your garage as you know.

Hey, each to their own. If it bugs you, it bugs you :)
 
I would like to see a "Random Race Generator".

It shouldn't be too hard.

It could pick a set of similar powered competitor cars, maybe a theme (country, drivetrain, car type etc), pick a track or series and put some kind of similar restrictions for your choice of car.

Then the race would give similar rewards to A-spec races.

It could be unlimited offline A-spec-ness. :)

I'm not a computer programmer, but it shouldn't be that hard?
 
The odometer isn't a big deal to me. However making the fuel gauge work in the cars would be nice so I don't have to pause, turn on the HUD, look at fuel, turn off the HUD, repeat every now and then. The fuel gauge in the cars always read full.

Note the bold sentence - Sooo you bought GT5 to watch a car odometer go up? This was your sole reason?
Really dude......

For real? You bought GT5 because the cars would have working Odometers? NUTS!

no, but to take out a feature to me made the game better than forza was a mistake, i mean to see a car click over to a milestone mileage is something most car owners do, it's not a game breaker im still going to play it im just a dissapointed they removed a feature they said they were going to have.
 
The Top Gear Test Track leader board is good idea. So long as the cars are completely stock standard with no mods what so ever just like on the TV Series apart from maybe sports soft tyres. I'm sure it would keep alot of ppl busy. But they will need different leader boards for different class of cars or else it would just be dominated by X2010..............
 
A Few Things I am Looking For (fingers crossed)

1. Ability have practice, and qualifying sessions prior to a race. You can still test your tune on your practice tracks, but after entering a race (especially championships) there is a lot of tuning to tweak each car to each track. Being able to practice and tune, then qualify would be nice. I am sick of starting in the middle of the field every time. :dopey:

2. More regular cars at the used car dealer. I want to be able to buy a Ford Crown Vic or a 1979 Town Car.:scared:

3. More cars you can RM (Race Modify) If I want to RM by 1960 Alpha Romeo please let me. 👍

4. Option to add random mechanical failures, such as blown tires, gearboxes, electrical, perhaps engine fires. I know this is asking a lot, but if you run your car too much without changing oil etc, then the odds of blowing an engine would increase. :yuck:

5. Sort of tied to 4, is the requirement to repair your car, or risk it and keep running it until something busts. Drive like a moron, that will cost you. Cheap out on maintenance and oops there goes your left tire. Ok this might not be possible, but its a wish list.:nervous:

5. OMG I forgot to add this, but my BIGGEST wish is the ability to drive around freely. Not just on a test track, but in some sort of city, perhaps online. Not sure how to implement this but some sort of free open world where you can buddies can hang out and go for short tours, maybe street race, dodge some traffic, I dunno. Its just to me, not every drive needs to be on a track. A scenic tour of Italy, or the mountains of Switzerland, or the West Coast highway in California. I dunno.

PRIVATE RACE with your own b-spec =D,
PRACTICE using b-spec, why... so you can find out which setup was faster, since b-spec is alot more consecutive compared to me.

other then then that, give us more premium cars, like say ... TRD AE86 N2 =P
 
My bet is a lot of the update will be focused on online since they did just announce the b-spec remote play that tells me there will need to be some online infrastructure changes.

I would also not be surprised to see future events focused on NASCAR with Daytona happening in late February they will want to get some mileage out of the license before Eutechnyx releases NASCAR 2011.

I would like to see some changes to the core event list but don't anticipate that.

I really like thid idea! it would sort of help the lack of a-spec events! but then maybe they could add both!
but anyways, great idea!
 
It would be nice to be able to run a championship series online. Just like you have in A-Spec points leader wins.

In online I would like to see everyone's best laptime like in Forza.

B-Spec "maintain pace" should last the entire race if you never run another command.
