Heh....that sounds very strange.....right now I can't help you, but try asking around. There are lots of smarter people here than me ;)
 
AAAAGH! My 3000th post dreams have been shattered....
Oh well I can settle for 3001th... No way, since writing this post i'm now 3002nd.
Expect something from me in terms of speed soon... Well done guys on 3000 posts!!!

If there is a difference Big Racer, I haven't found it, look at my sig.

^^^ LOL It's OK, there's the 4000th to go for :sly: and then the 5000th...and so on...

At least I got the 3001th post. Congrats to you Bigracer for the 3000th post :)
 
i'd go for # 3333.
btw my 3k post was pure coincidence.
any comment on the settings question, especially from elite?
same goes for minolta as for gt-one.
maybe good thing to add a pal/ntsc/Japanese column to the 300-board ...

its a new car with clean oil, no downforce, lowest height and lsd of 5/5/5 or 5/60/5. i toyed with the tranny too. yes/no trick, auto 20, auto 25, standard final, lowest final. NOT-EVEN-CLOSE :grumpy: :)

I use PAL version, my R92CP and Bentley Speed 8 is capable to reach above 350mph. I intentionally limit this two car with gearing (so I don't have to post video to proof it). My pescarolo both hold second position, so I don't think there is speed differences between version.

For gearing I use auto between 8 and 4 (forget).

LSD always 5/5/5, aids 0/0/0, balast 0/50. other than that it's 300mph 'standard' :D.

For my GT-One, I just don't have a clue for how to tune it.........
 
Should have mentioned this before, but i do use PAL & my minolta has gone over 366. Settings wise, I tested Team 666's recently and they are pretty good.

FormulaGT
 
jip, i also can recommend Team666's settings, they were a big help when starting 300mph-stuff!! try fiddeling with the suspension Bigracer, maybe you can get there more out.......

i changed it to miles per hour and i got my black gt-one to reach 332.91 miles per hour without going backwards on the track and it beat my previous personnel record of 332.11 with the r92 [i don't normally use miles per hour but viewing records in it now]

edit:new after some tuning got it at 347.15 miles per hour:eek:add that to the leaderboard

just missed 350 saved the replay

edit again:doh i need a picture for proof and i don't have the nesesary stuff for it does it still go on as unverified?

Yes, you do, I think it will go on as "unverfied"
 
Dark Elite,

You have posted my speed on the leaderboard as 322 when it's 332 if you look closely
 
Plenty of debate in a day! :)

Yeah, yeah, I'm here :)
Bigracer
analyzing these speeds i get the feeling there must be a difference between different gt4 games. i mean, whatever i do i cannot get the gt-one over 300, while another game achieves topspeed overall in the same car.
what i would like is for someone to mail or pm me his settings for a >350mph car (pal user please) so that i can see if its the game or just me. of course i won't publish or upload the speed to the list.
any comments?

It's an interesting concept, but I can tell you for pretty much certain that there is absolutely no difference between the actual physics engines and inner workings of GT4 between copies or even formats (PAL/NTSC). Any time I've tested other's settings, I've always been within ~.1mph with the same driving method in a new car. Looking at the GT-One settings you posted, no that probably isn't enough to get it to 300mph.

I assume you've got the NOS to 50, the maximum for the GT-One?
The final drive ratio will take more than just 'standard or lowest', neither will work properly. Find out what you need to do with it properly, doing test runs, to get it as close to the peak of the power band at 300mph as you can. At this stage, don't bother fiddling with the LSD at all, return it to the standard settings. Add ten clicks of rear downforce, set the spring rates to minimum front and rear, and you will have no trouble hitting 300mph.
(And I'm not even an expert. Surprised nobody beat me to answering that);) :p

At least I got the 3001th post.

Which is the 3000th reply, so be proud :p
I certainly am!

Ah, sorry. Quick typo. I'll get that sorted :dunce: Now done

As it happens, I don't do that any more. The only 'unverified' speeds you'll find are ones that were posted before the Leaderboard existed, and before I enforced photo verification methods. And when we didn't have any targets, so there was no dishonesty ;)

Thanks for sticking with me for #3000, guys, so let's keep it going for #4000 and 5000 as GT4_Rule says! 👍

*squints*
Yeah, that seems like a good speed
good work
EDIT:Not the best speed, but there is tons for improvement:
312.76no nos

Now I am going to have to pwn you with the second-hand Mary TS020. You knwo that, right? :sly:

Im going to have all summer and a lot of time so you better watch out!:)I have got upwards of 318 but I didnt have a capture card with me at the time:banghead:

I Just got done a few days ago working on my GT3 hybrid video that I made. Just wonering how I stack up to the others...
 
very happy because i made it thru the 330 level.
toyota gt-one: 337.30 mph
with the setup i used it seems to be possible to reach 390 if you reverse the track.
best fun was that i wheelied halfway through the track.
looks like there is room for improvement so i'll be back (free after arnold).

:odd: I hope you didn't do that in your record run because if you did, the run doesn't comply to the rules.

what's that? i did not run backward if that's what you mean.
is it not allowed to drive on two wheels? :)
 
Read this:

copied from first page
1. All speeds must be proven by photograph to go onto the leaderboard. All record-breaking speeds and any speed exceeding 350mph must be proven by video. Video proof can be requested for any particular speed which is suspected of breaking any rule(s). Proof should be posted in this thread.
2. At no point in your run must any of the car's wheels leave the track
3. All speed runs must be made at the Test Course in Max Speed Test mode.
4. You must not at any point in your top speed attempt travel backwards around the course.
5. Nitrous is allowed where available.
6. Whether a car is catagorised as road or racing class is usually very clear, however in some situations it is not. My decision is final when there is doubt on this.
7. No cheat systems or cheat codes are allowed.
8. You may share settings if you wish, however nobody can force you to do so.
9. Please act with courtesy and respect at all times

i suppose what was intended was that it is not allowed to leave the track in the horizontal fashion. whether it als applies vertically, i hope, does not matter. even so, how can you check if all tyre always contact the tarmac? it would take a day per video to view 60 camera shots every second of the performance ...

anyway, as always it's up to elite to make a verdict.

It means just the vertical plane, and it does matter. Wheelieing is the main reason for disqualifying times here. And the checking is pretty simple, it can be seen without too much effort.

I'm sure Dark Elite will explain it to you as specifically as you wish.

what the:confused: so your disqualified if you do a wheelie!? i spent all that work last night to find out that!!!!!?

ooh

jip, as mentioned in post #1 all the wheels have to stay on the ground all time long during the run to make a legit run!

i thought that meant you cant go on the grass
 
Thank you to the Squadron.

Nice one :) And thanks... All the same, I must make the following comment.

Myself in the heavily labelled Advanced Rules of Post #1
2. At no point in your run must any of the car's wheels leave the track
Click to expand...
This rule is NOT specific. It does not mention what situations are OK and which are not. As such, any situation in which any wheel leaves the track during your run disqualifies the run. The rule above states this extremely clearly. If your car wheelies, I believe that is two wheels off the ground. Therefore you are disqualified.

Allow me to summarise.
If any of the cars wheels leave the ground at any point in your run you will be disqualified.

I have a good mind to remove any leaderboard speeds from those who have not been aware of the very clear intentions of Rule #2.

This seems like a good idea now, see what I mean about people not listening?
If you have to question a very simple rule, the anwser is most likely going to be no
 
To be fair, leaving the track, and leaving the ground, can be construed completely differently.

When writing rules, there must be no room for interpretation.
