Hi all... I like in gt5 to drive around the full Nurburgring with weather change and day-night transition, and try some cars around the circuit...
Generally for the full day-night transition the game needs 10 - 15 minutes.... Strangely , in the last 15 days ( real life days i mean ), the game needs 35 - 40 minutes to complete the transition ... I think , one or two months ago , when the day time in real life is short , in GT5 is short too... Now , in april , day time is long and in GT5 is long too....
What do you think , can my theory be true??
If it's true , I'm very happy for the realism of this game...:)

^ Hi. I know you're from another country and your English isn't so great, but at least try to capitalize letters for words that start sentences. And also for proper nouns (somebody's name or a city name for instance).

On-topic: I think the game does take into account real-life time zone light/day patterns. So this would be Nurburgring, Suzuka, and any other real tracks that feature time changes. I read that somewhere before the game came out, but now I can't remember where I read it.

I'm quite sure it doesn't, for me it always took +- 40 min (also suzuka has no time change, only nurb, le mans, and toscana(half) do)
 
Well my ps3 isn't connected to internet , because for now i have not dsl connection... Maybe the game take time and date directly from the console...
 
Ok so cars that look like bricks on wheels looks realistic?? someone call in the doctor....

Yes this could be the case. I haven't noticed this as of yet though:odd:

Let me quote the OP for you, in case you forgot to read it.

The OP didn't mention anything about cars, what he's saying fits the title well. You are being way offtopic.

So five months after GT5's release and a thread still dissolves into nothing, GTPlanet might be going up but the forum section is just going to ****.

If the OP was right though this would be another example of Kaz's perfection state of mind making some of the problems a bit more bearable.
 
I see that the Facepalm smilie is catching on!

Wasn't there a slider that lets you determine the speed at which time changes? In fact Im pretty sure there is.
 
^ That slider applies only to online lounges. I think the OP is referring to the free run/practice, when you are given random times/weather.
