Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG '10

[MagicalJaguars]

Is the number 6.3 only supposed to be on one side of the car?

 

[another_jakhole]

Yup.

 

[MagicalJaguars]

Its on both sides of the 2011 model. I guess that was one of the changes

 

[another_jakhole]

CRAP. I meant "No". My bad. I don't know what happened there. Check Google next time and this will never happen again lol.

 

[MagicalJaguars]

It is one of my fav cars and I was hoping gt5 didn't make a mistake on the exterior

 

[another_jakhole]

Well, it IS on the cover of GT5, so they MIGHT have given it extra attention. I'm only assuming though.

 

[MagicalJaguars]

The 6.3 should be on both sides but it is not. I know it may sound like a small detail but I'm surprised cause gt5 is so accurate

 

[Cowboys965]

It has no backfire!! R u serios SLS AMG!

JK, I think it does. The 6.3 badge being missing, is weird though.

 

[coolboy48]

The pics I saw at R&T suggest that the badge should be on both sides.

On the topic of the SLS's modelling:

I feel PD messed up the wheels a bit:

The rear wheels are 1 inch bigger than the fronts (20 vs 19 inches).
However, to me anyway, there seems to be too much difference in diameter. I think the rears are modelled closer to 20.5 inches.

The other issue is the 'track width,' there appears to be too much and the wheels 'stick' out too near to the edge of the wheel arches.

Lastly, the relationship between wheel and tyre.

It might be due to the bright silver colour but it seems that the edge of the wheel sticks out of the tyre sidewall. (Lexus LFA also seems to be affected.)

Also, the tyre sidewall seems too 'rounded' and stretched. (Combined with the above, it's like a less extreme 'hellaflushed' look.)

I base these points on memory and these photos:

Apart from these points though, it is pretty much a 'super premium' to me.

Notice how the wheel spokes bend outwards from the hub but taper back inwards towards the edge. PD managed to get this detail right. (Observe cars in photomode or the dealership's car colour selection area with the different times of day.)

The interior is well modelled and textured and features a working digital clock.
It's OK that there is no odometer on the display as it appears to be set to AMG/track/something mode which displays temperatures instead.

Like this:

(Side note, temps in game are static but it does not matter since GT5's engine does not consider engine/gearbox temps as far as I know.)

This is what is so annoying with PD and their time consuming premium models. They claim to spend 6 months of man hours on each one and render everything in high detail down to the stitched of the leather yet still get rather simple outer visual details wrong.

When it comes to the modelling of cars, I think they people should nitpick the diarrhea out of them.


For some reason, it USED to be on the right side.

Dude are you serious? PD has the most accurate cars with with the premiums and they have a small minute error in which only a die hard can point out and that's how you react? Even so he said its still a super premium to him but as usual here comes Simion K with his comments and then you will say "oh i'm not being a hater" and you really might not be but the way you come off to me in my opinion is a person who just wants to ride on GT flaws. In this case something so small but your trying to make it big problem. If you don't believe me look at all the post in this thread, there is nobody referring to this SMALL problem as you are.

Ever since I've joined here a year ago, him and Toronado were the perfect duo when it came to this kind of stuff. Spaghetti was and still is just background noise.

 

[NjLowrider]

This is because they model one side and then flip it over. Making emblems backwards on the other side. I know because the premium nsx has "nsx" written on the door on one side and "xsn" on the other.

So they just got rid of it.

 

[another_jakhole]

It looks normal though.

I appreciate a serious SLS AMG as much as the next man, but I don't think this is a big deal.

 

[another_jakhole]

lol It's interesting though. Why/How would/could it have been erased?

PD is versed in the Dark Arts.

Yeah if you are complaining about missing badges, you need to find a new hobby.

 

[shirakawaa]

About 'track width': keep in mind that fitting custom rims makes it visually wider.

This is not my work but as you can see the 6.3 are on both sides.

 

[MagicalJaguars]

I'm gonna play tonight and maybe the 6.3 will be there on the track and just missing in my garage. Thanks for pics

No problem but I also saw some pics with the 6.3 missing. let me know what you see.

 

[MagicalJaguars]

I did a race and the 6.3 was on both sides of the SLS

That is it! I am not buying any more GT5 DLC and I am going to be asking for a full refund on the game and the three other DLCs I had already bought! I will never buy another Polyphony Digital product again, and I will troll every forum and review site going, in order to spread the word on this lack luster game and company. I will make sure they get a zero rating on Metacritic!

Seriously, who do they think they are and what do they take us for? The entire staffing unit should be sacked, put in jail and have their houses burnt down along with the company and any loved ones left inside.

I will be writting some sternly worded letters in my own blood, pronto!

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.
