I've been doing the first 20 license tests today and it's been kind of a mixed bag for me. Been faster than before in some, been slower in some others. I'm aware they're not necessarily the best challenges to test the new physics but hey, so far it's not that big change I initially expected. Very curious though how things develop ...
I admit, not sure here what kind of advice you're looking for ... 🤔
Okey so we'll need to delete game waisting a lot of timeI admit, not sure here what kind of advice you're looking for ... 🤔
You sure can plat GT7 with a Dualshock, definitely no wheel needed.
However, no matter what input device you use, platinum takes skill, passion, patience and more - you do not get it just like that - and honestly, that's how it should be.
As for share play ... it's not possible imo. I'm not an expert though, you better ask other folks.
Good luck, mate !
I guess it could be wall riding.
I havent tried any of the licenses, missions or other little tests the game has since the v1.31 update. I got gold on all of them in v1.30. My guess is there could be a wall ride technique on this one if the game does not quit your game for touching a wall. But I would think that touching a wall would be considered a disqualifier just like going outside of the track limits. I don't know.
I'm a newbie B driver as well and I found Laguna Seca and Spa to be the hardest to get gold on. This was in v1.27 when I golden them. I really have no ambition to try and beat them again.
For everyone interested ...Managed to gold everything except the Tokyo Central CE now. Some tips below.
Rally CEs
- Torque split 50:50, ABS Default, BB 0, other aids off
- I tried using handbrake as suggested but I just got more distracted in the end. Not easy holding a button on a constantly moving steering wheel.
- The KEY point in the end for me is to set up the car's slide well in advance of the corner (especially if there's a jump before corner entry) AND use a higher gear than suggested in the HUD (e.g. if the HUD flashes 3rd gear, use 4th). For some reason using a higher gear makes the car a lot less understeery under power, and you don't lose too much acceleration since these Gr.B cars have such a fat torque curve.
- Keep your line tight, hug the inside wall as much as possible.
- Take it easy over jumps. Your car doesn't accelerate in the air so it's actually better to brake slightly before a jump so you land faster (Trackmania players will know what I'm talking about).
- The Fisherman CE is the easiest for me once you learn the track, followed by Sardegna and then Colorado hardest. The Focus is like a truck to drive and the jumps on this track are a huge pain.
Other CEs
- I found using ABS Weak is actually better with current physics. The understeer under braking is the same between Weak and Default, but your braking distance is slightly shorter with Weak. Get all your braking done in a straight line and coast when turning. The new tyre physics is too dumb to allow trail braking
- Brake balance is now adjustable so use it. Mostly I just leave at zero. Some MR cars need -1 to front (e.g. Audi R8, Huracan, Ferrari 458). Some 4WD Gr.4 cars I put +5 rear just because the understeer is so extreme (Lan Evo, Atenza).
- Other aids at zero.
- Learn to use manual. Some cars need to be short shifted otherwise you lose a LOT of time (e.g. Corvette 3/4 rev bar, GR Supra 3/4, Radical 1/4).
- TYRE TEMPS is a huge thing in the first few corners. You'll find that you understeer/oversteer more than the demo run so be slightly more careful. You can make up the lost time elsewhere.
- Apart from the rally and Tokyo CE, the 2 I found most difficult are Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta. I just don't gel with the track and car. You might find other CEs more challenging.
Missions
- The Jeep mission just needs super smooth steering and use the whole width of the track. You don't need to touch the brakes at all. Just lift off the gas for the downhill 90 degree corner. You should overtake the 2nd car just after the apex. Just get inside the last car in the final turn and you're gold.
- The SLR mission needs good timing of overtakes. I use TC1 for this and shift at 3/4 rev bar. Stay away from 2nd gear. Unfortunately you have to be quite aggressive with the overtakes and also avoid touching the AI. Slipstream the last car as much as possible and hopefully you'll get him just before the finish.
- Cone knockdown 2 I had to switch to a controller for more quicker steering. Don't accelerate too much, keep your turning circle tight and remember you only need to nudge the cones, not topple them over completely.
I also went back to GT Sport today to try out the new monthly TTs, and usually it takes me a few laps to readjust to GTS physics because of the extra understeer. Today I didn't need to adjust and in fact I found GT7 to be MORE understeery. 6 years, 1 new game and multiple physics updates later and we are no better than where we started. What can I say PD...
Looking at most of your times on these trials etc, I'm surprised you need any tips!
I just thought @LeGeNd-1 's tips deserve a spot here in this thread. And I always find it interesting comparing other drivers'
I think you held the number 1 spot on my friends list on every one, pre wiping! Based on lack of effort from everyone else (me included), it's a fair bet you'll be there again 😆I just thought @LeGeNd-1 's tips deserve a spot here in this thread. And I always find it interesting comparing other drivers'
experiences with my own.
Guess you've noticed I've "started from scratch" ... S-6 ahead.
The good thing about PD's clearing the leaderboards is, so few people try again that I could grab quite a number of top 10 spots.
did... did you just reply to yourself with a link to a post from yourself???Hey @Pesselles if you need advices, take a look here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...-3-lake-maggiore.407354/page-26#post-13999085
Yeah, but I bet you've still beaten it though! 😆Given you still lack of effort, b_t, your GT-R showdown mission lap on Tokyo has been a very very hard nut to crack.
Where the hell would you be if you tried really hard ?
