doh! just as I've come back into the gt community. good to see you again.
I only bought gt7 a couple of months ago and have been giving the time trials a go. I don't seem to have the love or the desire to do any online racing like years ago.
got a 53 0 on the Lexus completely stock no aids with room to improve. started to get the hang of it. had to use the Pad for that because my throttle pedal is flickering lately and not giving me full throttle
I got down to a 1:20.824 on my second lap today...and then spent 34 more not improving at all on that. My optimum only dropped to a .705, so I really think I'm at my limit here.
There's clearly time in the lap, but either the curb will throw me into low-Earth orbit, the car won't turn, or it'll decide that it will instead go off the edge of the track I can't see once I exit the corner. Bonus points if it ruins the next lap too.
I'm...not entirely sure I can improve further. I really wanted to get into the .7s, but it's quite clear that's not likely.
What's insane is: this time is below 1%...and I'm still 503rd. I do need to remember I typically don't do as well with high-downforce cars, but it's irritating knowing I have real time in the lap (even if the optimums don't show it)...but can't put any of it together.
yep G29 pedal set. interesting, I'll have to look into that.
yes you too! been a long time between plays... and thank you! I'm sure you could do similar haha. great time up top š
my findings on the Pad is it feels a lot less skiddish and easier to handle than the wheel. if you get the braking wrong with the wheel on this combo you're going for a ride
You open it up, dislodge the problem pedal from its sitting position, aim the wd40 at the circular component (try to aim inside it), spray it as you're pressing the pedal so the WD40 gets full coverage.
Then when you screw the cover back on, only screw in 4 screws, not the 20 that it originally has screwed in! Just so that If you need to reapply down the road its easier to unscrew again.]

I also found out, while swapping it over, the wire harness was actually the culprit. But I bought their replacement at the same time, (and the TrueBrake), so I fixed and upgraded all in one step. Don't need to worry about how much hair my husky is filling the pedal case with now.
