Gold chrome = bad on good cars
Gold chrome = good on bad cars
Silver chrome = meh on everything

That's just my opinion, so please don't yell at me and drown me in spit :p
 
Wings are useful in fast corners, by generating additional weight (note: not mass, weight) and increasing mechanical grip and in straight lines, by counteracting any upwards thrust generated by the shape of the car.


Strictly speaking, wings do not add weight, nor mass. Rather, Wings have the effect of increasing weight without having the effect of increasing mass.

[edit]

I am reading different definitions of weight. Sometimes weight is considered the overall downward force measured, as oppose to just the downward force generated by mass and gravity. In this instance, you would say that a wing physically adds weight to the car at speed.

However looking what NASA say is the interpretation I have always used, weight is attributed to purely mass x gravity, as such an aeroplane is described as generating lift as opposed to negative weight. In this definition, wings do not add weight, rather lift/downforce (whatever thrust you like).

I love how from the OP all the posters have shown just how diverse the GT community is

keep the pictures coming im loving them

And gravity = force. The force of 9.81N/kg (give or take) towards the Earth. By adding force in the same direction as gravity - downforce - you effectively add weight to a car. Place a car running with a wing at downforce-generating speeds on some scales (which you can't do, even on a treadmill) and the weight of the car increases.

Weight is mass multiplied by the forces acting on that mass. This is why you can experience weightlessness even when well inside the Earth's gravity well (such as the Vomit Comet) by counteracting those forces - mass stays the same, gravity stays the same but weight changes. Add to the forces and you increase weight.

Acceleration x direction doesn't half do funny things to the world.


Hahaha, is that the sound the BOV makes or is that the sound you make at my stupid joke? :D

I'll let you decide :D

That's why it would be described as having the effect of adding weight, without adding mass. Strictly speaking its not adding weight as defined by the mechanics term but the resultant force acts in the same manner.

As an engineer, I would always separate thrust from weight, even if they resulting force is the same. Perhaps that is unnecessarily pedantic for this analysis of the wing though. :D

As a scientist I'd always separate weight from mass and class "effectively" and "technically" as "actually" :D

If an 80kg man is floating because he's in a spaceship doing 24,000mph around a planet, he's weightless but still 80kg. If a 700kg race car is exerting more force downwards, it's heavier but still 700kg. If it quacks, waddles and floats on water, it's probably the same weight as a witch.

This is dare I say it..... WINNING!

If winning is a new slang for failing, then yes.

On-topic. I have done those mistakes, firstly, put gold chrome on a standard car...Bugatti veyron. Secondly, added spoilers and wings to the following, AM DB9, Lambo SV and gallardo, Ford GT, Nissan R35 GTR, and Ferrari F458, but in my defense, i have multiples of those cars, and only did it, as i was trying to make GT1 championship versions of those cars.
 
I agree with th OP,Chrome shouldnt be wasted on standards,it should be reserved for The Samba Bus,Kubblewagon,Shwimwaggon,,Fiat 500,iMiev etc. :lol::lol::lol:

But just to annoy you i'm gonna go and Gold the lowest heap of standard junk i got a 14BHP Subaru 360 '58.:lol::lol::lol:

:lol: Nice!
 
Why do people put spoilers on cars that just don't need them?
What cars don't need them? Spoilers are performance parts. There is no bad taste in them.

1. Do not waste matte and chrome on standard cars.
2. Don't paint cars silver chrome or gold if you actually think it looks cool.
3. In fact only use silver chrome on rims. Never gold.
4. Matte looks best on really sleek cars,with smooth lines.
5. Metallic paint can looks really good on some standards. Nothing too jaggy though.
6. Make sure you rims look good from ever possible angle and rotation, And they don't overpower the cars paint.
7. Don't add huge front overhangs to premiums, unless you can also put in a side skirt and rear diffusers(Rarely).
8. When in doubt try solid textures.
I'd rather not use Chrome at all.

And again, aero is performance. Your advice there isn't very good.

That last part resulted in me having to clean root beer off my monitor...

Then why don't you see more Aero parts on 300SLs or 512BBs or Miuras in real life ? Because it's AWFUL

For the win
that is the best looking car ever on gt5
my vectra got a wing every one laughs but stops after it canes every other car on he track so wings are good despite making cars fugly
 
@OP: Never knew there were rules for what I want to do and put on MY cars.... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! :rolleyes:
 
Neon green rims + purple paint coat on your car = please leave the track, fool.

Also, "hahahaha look at how original I am, I painted this unnotable car matte pink!!! What a character I must be! How everyone will find this so original online!!!"
 
I painted my Dodge Ram matte pink, and I must say it looks nice :D (pulls a 7:03.7xx at the Ring)

Everybody can do what they like and if you see someone using such a car online
=> leave the lobby or race faster than him/her
 
HD, that Charger looks amazing in that Matte Black, especially for a Standard.
And yeah, everyone has their own opinions and tastes, so don't tell people what (not) to do just because you hate it.
 
I think the TS lost many online races against, in his eyes, fugly cars.
 
Ok, I'll be slave and follow all your rules about painting.
/sarcasm

People have their own views on cars.

Some love the ricy crap. Some love odd paints with odd wheels. Its what makes your car stand out in a crowd of people.

So:
*Jeremy Clarkson's voice*
No!
 
When I play online, I see MANY people with their silver/gold chrome Enzo Ferrari, SLR McLaren, Lamborghini Murcielago, Lamborghini Gallardo, McLaren F1, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper, etc... Generally supercars, and I think its just the idea of painting an awesome car with a special paint that makes them do that.
Personally, I don't like it. :yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck::yuck:
This is just my opinion and I intend no offense to anybody with the stated car and color preference. PEACE! :)
