Does anyone know, or can anyone find out, how accurate the conversion factor is in GT3? I mean, when they translated the game, did they use 1.6 or 1.609344? Or 1.61?
 
Most likely 1.61
If the programming for pal and ntsc was the same, you can find out
just ask people where the oil lamp turns on in the pal version (after ___ km)
km/m and you'll get the number the ppl used
 
They seem to have used 1.6111111

The top speed of a Zonda C12 is governed by the rev limiter so you should get the same speed all the time.

I did two runs in my mph game and 2 in my kmh just to make sure the speed was the same.
in mph it's 142.2
in kmh it's 229.1
divide 229.1 by 142.2 and you get 1.6111111
 
Well, by that it would mean the kph games are faster if it and the mph versions are accurate in and of themselves. but the speed given is probably rounded up or down. a more accurate test would be to use analog and hold a constant speed through two meter markers, using the pause unpause method.
 
Maybe that wouldn't work. Point is, the conversion is wrong. Crud to that.
 
Yeah.... i was just gonna say that
too bad they don't let people drag race eh?
oh.... wait
i know...
on Testcourse, literally, just stomp the gas down the straight till u hit one km
w/ the same car of course..
and then record them down.. i think tahts what daan did

edit: i think poly used 1.61 now...
 
Wasn't it possible to change the measurement on the original GT if so why doesn't someone try that. I sold my copy a while a go
 
halfracedrift
the oil lamp went off after exactly 300km, i used a completly non-tuned xj220 on the proffesional polyphony digital cup
 
Thats odd I swear on my copy it comes on at 302km.

Although it could be anywhere from 302.1 to 302.9

I hate maths.
 
All of them.

The oil light always comes on at 302.

This is because I thought it was 300, so when I get to 300 I watch the oil lamp like a hawk and then I was like what? no oil lamp?

Then it flicked on at 302, I have done this several times.
 
Well..... since i restarted my game, i have no access to it
but someone just try it with xj220 at anyplace, drive it til the oil lamp comes on, then stop racing
post the mileage it goes thru here
