Drum, you should post the Nurb round video in our video collection thread so we can always find it again :)
 
Ouch.. sorry :S

In other news is the weather confirmed..

and what are the outcomes of peoples tests on weather. i.e is it random or is it scripted?

Scripted, you can't get it to be totally random. PD's logic is beyond confusing.
 
IMO thats complete and utter BS.. how can a company that spent so much time developing a game not put in a weather system which is in someway random?

Completely ridiculous and people like me who are not gonna go through the 2 hour phase are gonna be at a disadvatage.

Something that F1 2011 (gasp, shock!) got right, well kind off. The GT5 weather was made arguably even worse with Spec 2 since you have to manually set the weather.

Pretty much. F1 2011 isn't exactly dynamic but it is better than GT5's at the moment. I think BK said on the last page the weather settings are going to be 3 or 4 changeability.
 
Thats a lie. GT5's weather is random. Just rains more often than not.

AFA the Bentley, I'm begging for a 20kg weight break! The tire wear since spec 2 is increased, even with 600hp like last season.

Since we have to manually set the weather, it isn't random.
 
It's random after you set it. And before spec 2 it was as well. About 75% of the time you could expect rain though.
 
That itself is stupid considering how rare rain.is in normal.life ( and I live in the UK LOL)
 
The weather change effect determines how fast the weather changes from dry to rain and vice versa, meaning it's not random. It was just better when it was random before spec 2, then we didn't have a clue IF or WHEN it would start to rain. Now we can predict rain after xx minutes because of the weather change effect.. it's annoying.
 
It was indeed a bizarre choice on the part of PD to add that weather change slider.

Just one of those "what the hell" feature tweaks that I am accustomed to getting from Japanese developers.

The % water on track on screen is also a WTFfrom me.

Do u think Kaz & PD ask anyone if this is a good idea before they do something. ?

You see, that actually makes a ton of sense. The only other way to gauge how wet the track is is how big the spray from cars is, and how quickly you're skidding off through a braking zone into a tire barrier.
 
I think you should have to see the conditions on the road & feel how much water is on track not see a % bar on the HUD.


But that is also a limitation on the game engine itself. The track looks the same 10% wet or 75% wet. So I don't think its there yet, maybe gt6 ( if I don't die of old age before its released)

Btw we are def starting on time tomorrow maybe even 5 mins early. Be there or be a spectator.

Yes settings for today

changability will be set @ 4,

ill leave my ps3 on , so im the host - if you join my lounge b4 1:00 pm ill run a race to erase your prior lap times
 
I heard that in GT5, racing softs work just as well in wet weather as rain tires. Is this true? Will you guys be using racing softs exclusively? I've done a ton of racing on this game...but not much rain racing lol

Oh hell no.
Racing softs are complete crap in rain.

I accidentally left racing softs on once in a practice and I couldn't accelerate well, I had zero grip, and I couldn't get above 90.

How much is not much? Because I wouldn't be feeling too confident as you or the person infront of you, if the first taste of wet weather you get is braking for turn 1 in the qualifying race. It's a completely different world to dry weather

You heard wrong :P

Either that, or Grip Reduction was set to "low". I find most leagues race with Grip Reduction set to "high", however, which means you will be sliding about a ton on rain tires, let alone softs which will not even get you through an apex.
 
Lol thanks for the replies. Yeah I do think it was with grip reduction on "low" where I heard that. I've always raced mainly when it's on "real" anyway. Just making sure.

@ Vettelfan: I've done enough rain racing where I do know that it's completely different. I'll be as careful as possible. Don't worry

You can hit amf7 if you like without penalty (new league rule Bermuda PMed me about).
