1) Yep, everything should work minus things like temperatures, tyre pressures, battery voltage and dates.
2) Ahh, whoops. It's the Maserati GTS and the newer Fiat 500. Forgot about the Viper as it's another 'nothing works!' car. Think I can add the 787B to the perfect list too.
Edit: S15's clock broke with 2.10 (used to work, minutes appear to be stuck at race start time). R33 and Vitz seem perfect. S13 has missing clock and odometer while GT 86 and Supra appear to have non-functioning fuel gauges.
To save time, I've been assuming that the fuel needle would point to F at race start if working.
1. I got what your saying.... sounds good.👍
2. Ah ok the Fiat
. Soon as i saw it, it clicked. I agree with the 787B.
I rechecked the clock in the Nissan Silvia spec-R Areo (S15) '02. It still works the same way. I'm not sure of the proper term but it kinda "refreshes" every REAL minute (like watching the Total Time of your race minute). Like all of my testing I use Special Stage Route X, starting at 05:00 (so it's dark to light the dash), set the time factor to 60 (so i can see the clock move at a rapid rate), Fuel and Tire set to ON, damage set to HEAVY, and REAL grip. Oh and all aids off, aside from ABS=1. Anywho... starting at 5 a.m. at factor 60 the clock below the tachometer changes every minute. So 1 minute of REAL time is 1 HOUR of GAME time. So the clock went from 5:00 to 6:01 (I'm guessing lag of the game time to account for the 1 minute.) Had I used factor 1 it would change like a real clock... 5:00, 5:01, 5:02 and so on. I did one lap and it took me 7 plus minutes. So, as expected it was 12 p.m (5am + 7 minutes, or in this case 7 hours = 12 p.m). I hope you can understand what I'm saying.
Also, about the fuel gauges.
1. Like the Corvette C7 (by the way... saw the ring around the tachometer you mentioned) it starts at 3/4 tank. For the most part I believe the non-working gauges will be somewhere other than Full so it "appears" to be changing. No car is ever always full after a few laps, especially after one lap of close to 13 miles just on the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
2. The fuel gauge NOW works on the Nissan Silvia S15. I'm not sure when but either 2.08, 2.09 OR 2.10 is when the happen. So it's a move in the right direction.
I have to disagree. The Premium cars are all expertly modelled in terms of quality and detail. The only thing that's really missing is more working gauges, most notably the fuel gauges.
IMO, the important ones are the ones you actually use during races, with the fuel gauge being the most important gauge that's not currently working in most cars.
To your last statement. Sorry to tell you, but just because a car's fuel gauge starts at full upon race start, it doesn't mean it actually works. A lot of cars have this problem. Which means Bman has gone through a lot of work when testing the fuel gauge in different cars, as he has to drive for a while. Props to you Bman.
Either way, I just hope that all the important gauges are working in GT6.
I once drove a 3 race endurance championship (that I hosted) in the Lamborghini Gallardo without any HUD. Was some of the best races I've ever had. Using the Trip counter to meassure the amount of laps I had done, so that I had an idea on when to change tires. And of course using the working fuel gauge. Won two of the races as well.
The Odometer is definately an important function as well, though I still find a a working fuel guage more important.
First, thanks for the props.
. Lots of people on GTPlanet have been helpful, not directly towards me, but overall helpful. I mostly just browse silently and see what others think and say as you can see by my post count. While it may seem insignificant to some, this is something I started myself and when I saw this thread I thought it would be nice to share my findings. Many have helped along the way since then so that's cool.
Yes, yes and
YES to the bold. I too enjoy driving without any of the on-screen display stuff, feels more real and not K.I.T.T. like on my windshield. (No offense to Knight Rider.... loved the 80's version and eh on the 2008 one. Needed more K.I.T.T. and less kissy kissy) More strategy planning and knowing your machine just by it's feel is always awsome.
I dont know if anyone has noticed that the clock in the '69 Camaro Z28 the clock tends to be a hour ahead. And also a glitch for the '69 Corvette C3, the speedometer displays the speed as kph and the speedometer says mph.
As coolboy48 says below it's been like that for a while. Yes, both are still that way as of today (1/19/2013 or 19/1/2013). I can't say for the Alfa Romeo 8C or the Dodge Viper ACR since I haven't check.
......
Regarding the busted clock and speedo:
Yep, it's been that way for a number of updates, potentially since launch. Same with the C3. The 8C and ACR speedos were broken too though I've not yet checked if 2.10 fixed them.
Why would you want to do that anyway? For short races or trolling
?
