We need to add breakdown lane to that list, too many people don't understand what it is on SSR7.

I.E.

Breakdown Lane - The shoulder of the tunnel in SSR7
E.G. The returning racers use the breakdown lane, so as not to interfere with another race.

E-CHEAT or E-CHEATER = It refers to a gamer cheating its launch by slightly pressing a specific button on the controller making the car get an incredible launch grip. This E-CHEAT can be use on almost any car in the game with any drivetrain. This E-CHEAT was discovered by most pro tuners when the speed test was introduced to GT5. It was banned by and kept secret due to it considered a cheat and not a real performance tune. E-CHEATERS started to use this cheat more often due to their lack of tuning ability and therefor I have decide to give you guys the proper term to use once you spot one. A good real example is; Mr. Gurdnac and Mr. Weedfarmer are using the E-CHEAT and therefor are considered E-CHEATERS.

Until this issue its resolve I quit Drag racing online and only drag on my launge with my real pro NON-E-CHEATERS tuner friends.

Thanks for reading.
 
A button other than throttle/brake/hand brake :confused: Do you mean retro's method or something that can be used online?

Maybe if everybody knew what it was then it becomes a level playing field?

I'm also confused as to what this E-Cheat is :confused: if it is retro's quick shift launch trick then I guess i'm an E-cheater too haha. but I dont recongnize the names he posted as being people who post drag times reguarly so I guess it must be something that works online??

Like a hair trigger? I my E-brake is left analog stick to the right, so I have to barely press it; never considered it as a cheat though...

is not that either

when the E-CHEAT is perform iincreases the g's, almost like srf but without srf, even if the room has srf disable your car will run like if it was on.

In my opinion, i don't think it will get fix, it's a glitch but i don't think it will get fix, not untill gt6, i hope it will get fix then

I know what he's talking about. It's mega BS and another reason why I quit tuning and running all the time. I really hate when people do it.
 
Well what ever this E-cheat is it's a shame that it's driving people to quit, but I don't understand why it makes you want to quit though as im guessing you consider it unrealistic and there for to be cheating.

Correct me if im wrong here, but drag tuning for GT5 as a whole is full of cheats and tricks, essentially without tricks and cheats drag racing in GT5 would straight up not work the way it does now. Full +1.0 toe at the rear -1.0 at the front is a trick from my understanding as in the real world this would plain and simply not work. The tranny flip is a trick to compensate for the lack of truely fully customisable gears and is nothing more than a glitch. Wings giving downforce from 0mph is a trick. These methods arn't suposed to make you faster in the game either they are just exploits in the physics engine.

If cheats and tricks are driving people to quit why didn't you quit when you figured out just how unrealistic GT5 is?

What ever this method is it must be becoming more popular otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned it at all. I wouldn't hold your breath if you plan on waiting for it to be patched or fixed in GT6 before you make a return as it will most likely still be there. Especially considering the fact that GT games have never offically suported drag racing at all.

Why not do as fest0r said?

Or infact keep it to your selfs but use it and adapt as the way drag racing works and continues to evolve.

Sadly that is the only option that makes sense right now, do whatever you want, all glitches & SRF. Tuning for drag racing in GT5 is nowhere near realistic so we should stop trying to make it real and just have fun...

I don't want more people using it than others who already do.
Click to expand...

But why don't you want more people to use it? You can't control how others play a game, and it's very selfish and narrow minded if you think you can. I could understand your frustration if GT5 officially suported drag racing, or if this was a private competition of yours. But it doesn't, and this isn't.

If you don't want people to use it as you consider it unrealistic why arn't you trying to stop people from using crazy toe angle's or magical downforce wings?

If you think the way drag racing and drag tuning works now without this E-Cheat is the "legit" way then you're delusional, there is no legit way to drag race in GT5. Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the time and effort all the orginal players have put into this game to discover whats possible. But the way drag tuning works is built upon glitch's, tricks and physics exploits, it's just that most of them became accepted as the norm and now anything more is a "cheat"?

The only way this E-Cheat can truely be considered a cheat was if it was a 3rd party device that affected the game like a gameshark or other similar device, but it doesn't sound like that is what it is from AKA said as it's just a button you press on the controller to make you faster somehow.
 
I consider it a cheat cause is NOT A TUNE AT ALL, IS NOT SOME VALUE THAT YOU CAN CHANGE ON YOU CAR SETTING, IS NOT A TUNE!!!!!! TUNING TRICKS IS JUST TUNING AND THE E-CHEAT IS A CHEAT PERIOD
 
I tried to launch with e-brake on and I got worse 104 (DC2'98 - 12.251) :lol:

Like I wasn't expecting that :P

E-Brake cheat . Your doing it wrong !

Because then I have to retune for SRF and it's not worth it in my opinion.
 
I still don't get any of the E-brake or 2nd gear cheats, I guess that's a good thing, because all of my times don't use any launch tricks.
