It's great that they allow us to tweak the gear box with v1.06. But... now we really need to be able to save 3-4 setups per car.

A tranny setup for tsukuba is vastly different than one for nurb and using the top speed slider resets your individual gear spacing
 
Yes the A, B, C settings in GT4 were great, I also think this should come back
 
Yea, it would be great. It would prevent us from buying the same car just for different settings and tracks.
 
Yes, no and maybe.

I'd love to have different setups for different courses or more importantly how I wished to play that track. Less rear downforce is essential if you are playing more 'arcade' opposition.

But I'd miss tuning cars to they run well on any course. Just change the gear top speed for the circuit and away you go. A good tune needs to be good everwhere.
 
abaxas, to me, a big part of being able to change individual gear ratios is that I can make 1st and 2nd gears taller thus making them a little less useless in high HP cars. the second you use the top speed slider, the individual ratios reset. if the relative gear heights remained the same when using the top speed slider, it'd be alright but, they don.t

...and i'm lazy. :D

I used to do that. Maybe it's time to return as it's easier to plant the throttle on max for start and let the car do the rest.
 
is final drive adjustable?
if you adjust final drive does it move the individual ratios as well?

Yes. Adjusting the final drive changes all the gear ratios by an appropriate amount and will adjust the top speed. Basically, if you're using individual gear ratios you never touch the Top Speed setting and just use Final Drive per track to set your transmission.
 
we do need to be able to save setups.
i never really wanted to be able to adjust the gears individually. Since the majority wanted it, i never really went against it. The reason is that in real life you dont have the ability to make over 1000billion different gearing combinations for a car with a racing transmission. You have to make a comprimise and select only the best or closest teeth-combo you have available for your car. I know it sounds gay, but im kinda stickler for realism. I have the same feelings towards downforce setting. In real life for most lemans prototypes you dont 50+ different possible downforce settings at the front of the car. Or the rear for that matter; but generally the rear does have a lot more options for downforce. im just saying... but anyways it is a pain to get a great suspension set up and have to change it for the Nur everytime and Le mans every race as opposed to the rest of the tracks.

In GT5 you have the worst of the two worlds: unrealistic, almost unlimited choice of intermediate gear ratio values, but total range severily limited for each gear, less than what it would be possible in real life.

Like in GT5P. It ease useful the individual gear ratios. I wish we can choose the number of gears a car will have (must be realistic too lol can't have a million gears)
 
I think there should be an Online Tuning Library function where we can upload & download each others tunes, can't belive they've not done that already to be honest. Instead, they took away the ability to save just the 3 tunes, evolution PD not devolution!

Brillant! Excellent idea. Back in GT2 I thought we could save set ups like replays - any number, any name as long as your memory card had the space. Or maybe I am just dreaming of how it should work. Each track requires various tweaks so the ability to save mulitple set ups is pretty important.
