GT7 Online Time Trial/Lap Time Challenge Discussion

[Wilsonson]

… a little less difficult than expected. …

I thought so too. Usually Gr. 2 and up is a struggle for me because the aliens are able to carve out time that is just impossible for me mere mortal to replicate.

I followed Calster's ghost and got this within 10 laps. Optimum is slightly better at 32.8.

What do you mean by "built my speed back up" ?

Sorry should have phrased it better it allowed me to build my speed up as there were some areas I needed to improve and VR helped with that.

Do we need to go again into discussion if tire temp has effect or no??

"Don't go for a second lap. It won't be worh it. The soft tires are overheating"

Tyre temps have no impact in time trial, literally 0.

Sorry should have phrased it better it allowed me to build my speed up as there were some areas I needed to improve and VR helped with that.

The way I understood it is you were getting better lap times in VR at first and then switched to flat screen and progressively improved there to beat your VR time. Do you think the time you spent in flat screen to beat that VR time would not have resulted in a similar improvement if you've had keep using VR instead of switching ?

Curious about your opinion on the subject.

Did watch your lap guide, very instructive on abusing track limits, gave me a bit more freedom on that matter, and enabled me to set some breaking points more clearly, was doing it intuitively, so it was not very regular. No improvement yet, need to work on my consistency. Just beginning to figure out a better way to take the final hairpin. Need to string all my good bits together now.

The thing is you can learn alot from different hardware or ways of playing a game. So my general rule of thumb in a morning is to jump on with my normal way of playing for like 30 minutes. Then jump on the controller (Sometimes I am having to much fun and stay on for like an hour), sometimes I learn something I can apply then on the wheel. I jump to VR and sometimes I learn things there and then I jump back on the wheel and use everything I learn from there.

Sometimes it's a gear change, or maybe because on the controller I can't turn as much I realise I'm overturning in some corners. It's actually been helpful for me to play these otherways as well as helping everyone else.

I think Kie is wrong here, probably placebo

 

[NevilleNobody]

I tend to like high DF cars but man this track does my head in, always in an understeery corner. I have a feeling I will get within a few tenths of gold and have to work hard to get over the line.

This pretty much nails it, the change of perspective with VR really does help with some lines (also not ideal, and in race does have its challenges!)

It’s way easier to modulate the braking in VR and coast than some of the other cameras imo

I do think the the whole controller switching seems really impressive as I suck going back to a screen after VR let alone a controller, as always fair play!

*VR hater!

Morning,

Ofcourse i switched the laptop for the TV this morning
But high downforce seems harder for me in the morning than on other parts of the day, i noticed that a while ago.
Maby the eyes and brain are not that woken up that early, i just takes much longer to get the finess with those cars.

But for a GR2 event i ca't realy complain, it's just not realy my thing, it's cool, it's fast, it's grippy... but i just like roadcars more

Kind of a sloppy lap, sharp lefthander wasn't all that great tbh and don't mention the very last corner.....that wasn't pretty
But into the 31's with the NSX, there is a lot more room in such a lap but we will see if i have the motivation to get back at it

Hi folks,

two quick updates from me:

1. For everyone using my plug-in (see signature), please fetch the updated version 2.2 from https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/497244-gtplanet-tt-assistant. This is necessary because this forum thread was recently renamed, and the script needed to be updated to match the new URL.
2. I am happy to report that I finally beat Hollow Knight - Silksong. Pharloom is free again! 😄💪. "What in the world does this have to do with time-trialing", I hear you ask? Well, it means that I should be able to invest more time than the bare minimum again. In other words: brace yourselves, things are about to get real (I already see myself regretting this sentence)

 

[Gorefast]

I don't know if you still go with AT but I can state that you've got faster since you switched to VR. Always very consistent you are now scoring impressive results, mon ami! 💪

Thanks, it has been a game changer for me indeed. And as I am not putting more hours in the game, I think that it is mostly due to VR. Better perception of everything and ability to look where I want to go, not where the camera aims.

Thanks buddy for the updated script, i use it with somuch pleasure! ( although i'm using crome on android and that just won't work with scripts?? ) but on the laptop nokia-rig it works like a charm!

Real addition to the timetrial virus we got going on here!

And i hope to see you compete on top of the board again soon! ( man we have had some great fights on the board ! )

 

[half_sourly]

rome on android and that just won't work

Firefox does, so I have that on my tablet just for checking crome's stats. I use Google Chrome too otherwise for everything else.

 

[Thorson1987]

Got this out last night following @Tidgney ghost, before I even watched his lap guide.

edit: And it looks like I'm now out of gold. Might have to watch the lap guide before having another crack.

 

[Barareklam]

@Metalgear9493
Congratulations mate

EDIT, and congratulations to all ninjas that got some PS vouchers.

New test today in Autopolis and improve my time at 1'32'718 with optimal time at 1'32'6xx

 

[stpatty]

Came on to complain about Autopolis, good to see I'm not the only one who can't get the best out of Gr.2 and doesn't understand this track. I have a 33.2 in the NSX right now and while I probably could improve it, the lack of consistency with certain corners is just putting me off.

Is there a scoop down there that you're hiding from us ?

That's just to prevent people to post their own TT times

 

[Gomario JSP]

Had a better last sector what seems to be my problem here, that last corner is such a difficult one and lining it up already starts before the eyed bridge...., well not to bad!

I tried to export while HDR off in the PS5, cause my last upload looked hideous!...
Export in HD 60 fps should be sharp right??

So it's automaticaly 1080 60fps when screen recording due to the 120 fps setting, but I changed the mp4 back again to WebM format and to the highest value, Same for exporting in sharefactory ....

Colours look better now but very annoying having to change HDR to off before making videos!

 

[SPDN Stefano]

Got the usual safe gold using a 1996 Arrows F1 livery I made. Kinda feel like playing NASCAR 25 more so this will probably be it.

 

[Lomic]

@ZevZoq : small improvement but I think you are out of touch for me now. Most laps in the high 49s when not 50s

Spoiler

 

[PowerJunkie]

Congrats to all of you guys laying down some smokin' laps! I have been absent for a while, because well, divorce sucks! I'll be back at this soon, hoping to get all this mess in order so I can actually focus on doing some racing. Maybe a in 2-3 weeks.

See you brothers soon!

 

[MMX]

Not a fan of Autopolis. Ran two laps, for a solid bronze, and got the heck out of there. lol

 

[bigfluffy888]

Long work hours hampered me this week but I managed to keep pushing with the NSX… it’s one of my favorite cars in GT7. I’ll study Tidgney’s guide and will attempt to reach higher tomorrow!! 💪

 

[Gomario JSP]

Morning folks,

A few laps in the NSX today again.
Last sector wasnt great ( last corner was hideous again 🤣 )

I did have optimals that would make captain @Dan_Tes divert the plane back to the home rig to try again but I kept messing up 🤣

Made two separate videos to check the difference in export, first one is HDR off before screencapture the video with the share button...and then loaded into sharefactory



Second one ...HDR on during same screencapture routine



Both are capured in 1080P 60 FPS ( due to 120 FPS setting ) exported WebM highest quality in Sharefactory

Ill put them side by side and have a verdict for myself for the workflow in the future 😂

 

[Lomic]

Both look washed out. What setting do you use in PS5 video recording ? 4K or 1080p. If 4k, try 1080p, it will be crystal clear.

Yeah I realy don't get it.
When I dubbele tap the share button it starts recording and says "recording in 1080 60fps due to the high framerate of the game"
I checked the output below, that was still 4k so changed it to 1080

Maby sharfactory has a part in the problem?,

Ill start a discussion later on in another thread, cause I have the feeling this is going to take some time 😂😂
