It’s the socks, not the cat Stuff sticks to them. She knows to stay away now, but I have raced with a cat on my lap in the past. Yes, it’s possible, just mind the talons.

Reading the posts above, I regret not having found you guys yesterday... Lobby noob here, I must have done something wrong

@Zeitgeist
No pedalbox, no cat, no idea ... isn't there anything cats don't like to place it near your rig ?

@bone_tone
I've only been on Kudosprime and Stats Site once for general info and testing but have no real interest somehow. Thanks for posting that ranking chart though - always nice to see such results.
Your second chart made me think you'd probably try to achieve this v :

I strongly believe in ya, mate .

Though being adviced otherwise ( hey @JacksHerer ) I finally couldn't resist to race on Mt. P in the Mustang yesterday - for the challenge it is, putting my braveness to the test .
I expected the worst but all of the 5 races have been astonishingly well-mannered and clean 👍, with good fun and good results in the end.
Each grid was a complete mix from S to D, so I assume not many have raced here at all.
Out of interest I watched through the replays to see many of the lower rated people with really poor car handling searching for the
racing line ( not looking down on them ) and I again got aware how much everyone of us has achieved. Something we surely can be proud of.

Thanks RJ!

I loved the Mustang at Mount Panorama - like you there was a mix of DR, although I was over 4 seconds slower than the guy on pole, I took comfort from the fact that plenty behind me were a lot slower. The spread from P1 on the grid to P12 was 15 seconds in total, no doubt that helped keep the field spread out and clean! Got a 4th, a 3rd and a 2nd place as a result.

Not too bothered about ultimate results, just enjoy my racing

Could these solve your problem ? Stuff sticks to them ultimately.

A feline unfriendly Doberman?

Had a quick go with the 'stang yesterday but it's a couple of lessons further on than where I'm currently at. If I'd finished the single lap I tried, you'd have thought I'd done it in reverse so I quit before the end.

I had a decent run at Tokyo and actually started to enjoy it. No idea why as I've never got on with street circuits but I really got into throwing the Gr3's around.

Turned the torque and feedback up to 5 (from 2) for much heavier steering and I'm not getting as surprised by accidental slides any more. Still way too heavy on the pedals though.

5 and 5 for me. G27 on GT6 was 10 and 10. Feels good at 5. I'll say, feels reasonable.

Go on, you might like it eventually. There's no big difference between a city circuit and "the Mountain", don't you think.

You've practised quite a bit in arcade mode. In case you had fuel / tire wear on, would you say it's a true reference for sport mode ? I'm looking for a way to get prepared for the Daily Cs .

The best preparation is to get stuck in! The C races have been the most productive for me.

Having it turned down low is good for endurance but I think I had way too relaxed a grip when I started to slide. 5/5 is a huge jump from 2/2 but at least my grip on the wheel is ready for any slides that might happen.

The idea is to drop it down again at a later date but I've got to train myself to have more control over the car first.

I keep looking at DS4's gathering dust and thinking " a few laps for old time's sake" but haven't given in yet. Apart from the drift mission challenge, it's been 100% wheel but I wasn't expecting the transition to be so hard though.

The problem going from Tokyo to Bathurst is that Tokyo I'm still learning while with Bathurst, I know it like the back of my hand but I can't seem to reproduce what I did in GT6 with GTS. The curbs and bumps are the big deciding factor between the two though. Especially running over them and being relatively new to the wheel. Instant instability.

I always ran with fuel and tire wear on (boring otherwise) but not with the high rate multipliers that the daily C uses. I noticed today's has a x15 tire wear on it and while it mixes things up nicely for when to pit, it's a bit too extreme. No matter how much you look after your tires, they're made of paper with that wear. Two full sets of tires for about 15-20 miles?

If you've already got pace or a high starting position, you could raise the fuel map to cut a couple of seconds off your pit time but it can be hit and miss who you come out behind. A much better race if you want to settle into some sort of rhythm but you can still treat it as a sprint race.

 

[Zeitgeist]

With the manx scooby on bathurst I felt like a fish in water, right on the money. Bathurst in gts responds well if you juuuust time your actions a split second earlier than what you’re used to. Which is appropiate for gts in general: you can’t affford to not do your homework before entering a corner, like what they say about 911’s irl

 

[kilesa4568]

It's down to me being a total novice with the wheel rather than the track. I've done 2347 miles so far and the only progress I've felt was last night with the much stronger feedback settings. I think I have to go quicker to get some kind of DS4 flow back but it feels like it's taking forever to get any fine control over the car.

Starting a new plan tonight with the new settings. A custom 30 lap race on each of the tracks with higher powered cars to see if I can work on the muscle memory. I've used the DS4 for so long, I never had to think about what I was doing on track but with a wheel, it's clumsy at best.

I'll get there. One day...

 

[Rizla]

Yeah me too i couldnt see them in my post but in Rizla's post i can see the links and i want it to be visible not showing the link
Today everything will be finish ....it rain since monday...it didnt help at all
I followed this video for the rig



but i also made a new table for the tv and the ps4 ....i ll put the finale picture and a pic of the old one ...you gonna see a big big upgrade specially for the seat ....god he was killing me

Ps : @Rizla i found in game a livery just made for you ..i shared if you wanna have a look

Have to have a look for that. PC died Thursday/Friday so didn't see this post. Started working again today. I get the feeling it's not long for this world...More expense.

So that's a new steering wheel out the window.

Don’t worry about it! I went to a g25 back in the day and I was embarrasingly slow for weeks. I’m still slower than ought with the cam in driver position. No worries...
It’s down to fine motor control and that takes getting used to. One thing that might help: keep the cables between the ps and the screen down to a minimum. With hdmi there might be some lag anyway, it isn’t that fast. You can check by watching a -fairly new- concert dvd: the drummer’s footage must be in sync with his hihat sound. If you have a fibreoptics option, use it

If you PM me what hardware (Piriform's Speccy is good) you've got, the operating system and any symptoms you've seen, I might be able to help you out with that. A PC coming back to life doesn't sound too bad so it's worth a shot.

Oh, how I wish I could blame the hardware...

My biggest problem with the previous 2/2 settings (7 sensitivity) kept surprising me when the feedback kicked in on slides. I was way too relaxed on the wheel's grip so always slow to react to them. Switched it up to 5/5 tonight and caught every slide apart from one, where I went into a corner too hot and took too much curb. Almost spun but managed to avoid having to use reverse so not a full spin... The same move last night would have needed a breakdown lorry. Didn't fully spin in 4 endurance (120 laps total) races and managed to ride out dozens of other pacy slides which is a drastic difference to how it's been. I'm still over driving at times but nowhere near as much as I used to.

At the end, I thought I'd have a run at the daily qualifying at Nurb. A couple of laps there for a 07.6 and about 4 tenths behind at Blue Moon after 5 laps but I called it quits when I squeaked into the 42's with that one. Optimum lap was 42.8 so I didn't have much left to chase at that point anyway.

Another week of throwing all sorts of cars about on every tire from RH and below, I should be ready for racing again.

 

[ROCKET JOE]

Was quite confident to have my first GR3 races today, picked the Lexus as soon as I was home and though I still feel a bit helpless how to tackle Lago Maggiore, I got some ok qualifying laps and was ready to go.
Sadly my kids too early were back ( buh, bad dad ) from their uncle's birthday, so no ... soon !
Instead : Some more practise later with the top car from UNDERSTEER ENGINEERING, what could I do ?

Edit : What does the red triangle in the HUD represent ?

 

[kilesa4568]

Haven't you got a list of chores they can work through while you're busy?

 

[Zeitgeist]

Your first gr3 race? What did I miss? Gr3 is where you meet the more serious kind of player. Gr4 is ok but there are some idiots, roadcars is urban redevelopment area: my god they killed Kenny style of thing.
Gr3 is exactly your homeground, I’d guess. Go get ‘m!

 

[ROCKET JOE]

Ah, I did the right thing. I'm a serious player and need to practise first in order to not kill anyone Kenny style .

What's your PSN ID, I'd add you if it's ok ...

If you mean the one that's being used in todays Honda event (and I did too ), it's Active Stability Management. It seems to help on the first turn.

Ah, I did the right thing. I'm a serious player and need to practise first in order to not kill anyone Kenny style .

...and being the serious player that you are I can see how that could be embarassing, and I don't think anyone wants to see a 'red Rocket'.


...I'll get my coat

Red rocket... nice! Now, what was that car that cartman drove in nascar? Vigasyl or something. We could make that livery

 

[ROCKET JOE]

@FPV MIC
Ah, thank you - Active Steering Management. Guess that's why I lost these 3 tenths . Btw I'm waiting for the day PD gives us worldwide boards.

Could use it as my new avatar ... you hopefully got a winter coat .

@Zeitgeist
It's "Vagisil".

Actually a good idea to make that livery !

 

[kilesa4568]

That could work in everyone's favour!

It might get rid of a few irritating c:censored:s.

I’ve tried. But they censor everything without prejudice... Shoes is nono

 

[coryclifford]

You guys do the F1500T-A events in Career mode? Pretty intense stuff. Especially Interlagos. I put on RS tires on an otherwise stock car.

Here's the Honda @ Suzuka one from when I first set my time, I think I may have barely hung on in the top 25 in the end (and pipped you by less than a tenth , ASM assisted though ).

Yeah, I did the same as you, but all were pretty easy pre-last update (ABS only). I might give it another go soon as I've read it's slower lap-time-wise and more of a handful now. Seems like it could be more fun with the new changes. 👍

 

[kilesa4568]

Drove the F1500 on Maggiore (pad) when it arrived but I haven't touched it since then. I think it's one for the pad with those events though as trying with the wheel will be farcical. Too soon!

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Might as well bring it up here as well.

With GT6 still fresh in my mind, I realized yesterday that the throttle mapping in GT Sport is non-linear. In other words, all my struggles with corner exits is because there's a disconnect between % of gas I think I'm applying versus what it's registering in-game. Someone had apparently brought it up a while ago but I'm surprised how little attention this gets compared to everything else.

 

[Zeitgeist]

The 1500 is manageable even without driving aides. Apart from abs +1 as always... In fact it’s rather relaxed once you get the throttle right and just trust it. Some setup and rs required to be fast enough to win.

The throttle is non linear, tru. But up to 90% it’s linear. Save the rest for the straight. I learned to manage without tcs on all cars, with a g29, but I won’t claim I’m fast in all of them Or at all...

Yes, it's a pain. It applies to the DS4 as well ... hard to portion gas on a good range of its tiny stick travel.

Edited after Mick's "like" :
Haven't used the F1500 yet nor have I touched GT league ... up to now the car appeared too fast and GT league too oldfashioned ...

Face facts. If you put it down 100% every time in real life, you’d be history. Or geography. Splat city, anyway. In racing you can’t do that either, no sir. So if gt wants to be the REAL driving simulator, that part’s gotta be the same too
