i wonder if Gt5 will have auto pilot like gt4 for the real long races

 

[Leweegibo]

Oh, do you?

 

[Jay]

He means B spec mode.


I imagine it will.

 

[emotionap1]

I hope not... That would suck. I think it takes away from the driving simulator. If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.

I Agree, but you dont see drivers doing 24hrs straight do you? 3 or 4 hour stint but not a whole 24hrs

Just for your information: the B-Spec mode of GT4 was not an autopilot. It was a racing manager mode where you needed to give the driver instructions on how to manage the race. It was not intended to relieve you of the long races, although a lot of people used it that way.

On another note, I'm not sure whether we needed a dedicated thread for this.

Perhaps his choice of words was incorrect, but it should have been understood he meant B-Spec mode as Jay pointed out. For you to correct a semantic error of a younger member (Occupation: Middle School) is just a bit trollish, and you should get over yourself.

In my opinion B-Spec mode was intended to relieve a driver in long races; what else what it have been for? Did you drive all 24 hours of LeMans or the Ring, all in one session?

As far as whether this needs a dedicated thread, why not? There is little going on in with GT5 at the moment other than discussions about the release, the cars, and various ubiquitous wish lists, etc. Why not a separate discussion about B-Spec mode possibilities? Perhaps they have improved the management system or added new options to it.

It's a discussion board...discuss.

Same... I also hope GT5 is released before i die!

Or maybe you could just do what any normal person would do, and that is simply not use B-spec mode if it is there and you don't like it

 

[emotionap1]

Of course not, but instead of installing B-Spec again why not implement a system that can allow a friend thats online to take over for you for a givin amount of time. And in GT mode, maybe actually setting a limit on it and taking the fast forward off?

TokyoDrift, I used it maybe once?

 

[P3nT4gR4m]

I used b-spec for some of the endurance races. Basically my logic was thus - I'm not entering a hundred lap race unless my car is so perfect and fast that winning is guaranteed and, if winning is guaranteed, I don't see any reason to sit there for two hours bored out my skull doing the same lap over and over.

Slightly circular I know but it worked for me.

I think you misunderstood me. The point I was trying to make that B-Spec, whatever one calls it, was not meant to fulfil the function of an autopilot / automated driver. I don't mind about the semantics as long as the actual meaning is obvious (such as in this case), I was merely pointing out (before others complain that B-Spec should not be back because it was a badly implemented automated driver) that it was not made for what people used it for.

In my opinion B-Spec mode was intended to relieve a driver in long races; what else what it have been for? Did you drive all 24 hours of LeMans or the Ring, all in one session?

I didn't drive any of those races. I did share the shorter endurance races with the B-Spec driver, regularly checking his progress and altering the settings to extract best performance. Nonetheless, according to the manual, B-Spec was about enabling you to take the seat in front of the info screens and get to learn racing in a completely different way. If PD had implemented B-Spec for relieving the player of the stress of endurance racing, why would they put in such races in the first place, and how would they overlook details such as the reset of the time lapse function after every pitstop?

As far as whether this needs a dedicated thread, why not? There is little going on in with GT5 at the moment other than discussions about the release, the cars, and various ubiquitous wish lists, etc. Why not a separate discussion about B-Spec mode possibilities? Perhaps they have improved the management system or added new options to it.

Honestly ... this is just my opinion, but I don't see the point of about 90% of threads in this section. There is little going on with GT5 at the moment, which means that there should also be little going on here as well. Opening discussions on every miniscule detail of what GT5 might have / not have / need / not need is pointless in my eyes. I understand that people are craving for news about GT5, so am I. But discussing every bit and piece about it to death before we even know whether it will be in the game makes no sense to me.

That would be horrible. I would rather not have to rely on friends being online before I went and tackled an enduro, even more so seeing that maybe 3 of my friends on PSN will actually get GT5 when it's released.

What it looks like you're doing is thinking that a majority of players who buy GT5 agree with you: they don't. Judging by the amount of people in Forza 3 I've seen complaining about the enduros there (a whole hour or so), the people that buy GT5 will end up being the same way. Sure, not everyone here on GTPlanet will take it as being a problem, but we represent probably less than 10% of those that will be playing.

B-Spec is a welcome addition to the GT series, even if you don't use it. PD does the research here, and I'm sure if it wasn't being used, they wouldn't waste resources on it.

 

[analog]

I did use B-spec mainly to get easy cash after i already finished those events in A-spec or didn't have the time to enter those full endurance races.
Remember that DTM championship where you could just win only 4 out of 5 races to get that Merc CLK racing car, after getting 100% in GT4 i just repeated those endlessly watching TV in the meantime .

So yes, instead of being forced to drive the same and eventually boring events yourself i hope B-spec is included, although online racing will undoubtedly take over it's main role as cash provider for me.

 

[Kryz11]

I hope not... That would suck. I think it takes away from the driving simulator. If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.

I use it as I had another driver in GT4's 24 hour racing, same with 8 hour ones. I do couple of hours, then i switch to AI.

In real life drives do it as well.

 

[RetroGiant]

Some of you are hilarious. If you don't like a certain feature, don't use it. Simple as that. More features, the better imo.

 

[Interpol-007]

I hope B-spec is included.

 

[Spagetti69]

Is it a flight sim?

 

[rezaalli]

because how are you gonna do the really long races straight, i would do half of the race then i got tried let B-spec do a little then i would finish the race and for me its really hard to do a 24 hr race because i am in 7th grade and i dont have much time

 

[rezaalli]

yeaaa real drives do it like for the LE MANS when they pit, they switch drivers

 

[tyl0r_r]

It'll probably be included. I'd be far more interested in a mid-race save feature so I can do 24 hours in bite sized bits. I won't be able to schedule too many 24 hour straight attempts.

 

[Eric Demory]

Just add an auto save point between each pit stop. That would be a helpful feature for all those hard long times.

No, never.
I appologise for responding to a statement as I usually would in face to face conversation, I truthfully respond in that way to dig for some elaborration.
For example:
1. I like these chips
2. Oh yeah, do you?
1. Yep, they are good n cheesy

ok, back on topic... U love the driving part of GT too
much, I don't think I used B-spec more than once!
Were you able to use it as your second driver to make enduros more realistic? If not, then that could be cool

 

[Leweegibo]

*I love the driving....
Sorry edit doesn't work on my phone but wanted to clear that up

 

[zepheadGT3]

i would like to see B-spec mode back for GT5... although i love to drive and all, on some of the longer races in GT4, say 24h nurburgring or lemans, i will alternate between B-spec and driving myself (A-spec, right?)... after all, i really don't want to drive on the same track for 24hrs...

 

[GlobeKIDD]

sorry, fail post... (on my part.)

 

[zepheadGT3]

what are you talking about? seventh grade? im not getting what youre trying to say...

and do you want to stay up ALL night racing the 24 hrs of nurburging? even if i had time, im not going to do that.

 

[cicohipe]

There has been discussions about this before, really you should have used the search function and then just read through that. Nothing new is coming to light here.

Really what i would like to see though is a more in-depth version of b-spec where you are able to do more and feel like you are more of a manager. How? i have no idea... lets leave that to the experts at PD

 

[tankuroded]

Can we lock this? Just wait for BSpec.
