You know what i mean, the box on the centre of the screen.
How hard can it be for PDi to make it wider?
10years plus of GT series, almost 1½ year of GT5 and we still have the same small box.

No one in PDI has ever tried to adjust a transmission for higher speeds?
The graphics are there, they just need to make the box wider.

Your thoughts?
 
lol exactly,
Even though that i love PDI and KY's vision/ideas, Some things like that makes you believe that no one in PDI is actually playing the game lol
 
And why can't they display the speed range of the gear? If memory serves, this was available on GT1 and GT2..
 
That gear chart is a real shame. Not only it's got poor readability, but it also displays gear information wrongly, with speed overlaps that don't make technical sense.

Even something like this would be much better:

Note that, for example, if the first gear ends at 63 Km/h, in the chart above then the second gear starts at 63 Km/h as well. That's what is supposed to happen. In GT5 (and all previous GTs, for what matters) the second gear, for some unknown reason would start in the chart at lower speeds.

Just because a gear ends at 63 km/hr doesn't mean you will run it to the rev-limiter (or should you in case of cars with a power band that peaks in the lower rpms [ie. the Cuda]). Really, they should display it like you do with the dotted lines and/or give you a shift rpm option that will draw in your yellows.

My point is that by shifting gear where the yellow line (blue line in GT5) ends, the next gear should start at that speed. This, for some reason doesn't happen in GT gear charts, and doesn't make any sense to me.

By the way, this is not really related to the gear chart, they should also get rid of the feature which severily restricts the selectable range for each gear in GT5. It's really annoying and most of the time prevents the user from setting up gear ratios that make sense in a racing environment (long first gear, close ratios for the rest) if not by performing "tricks" with the Speed and the final drive settings.

I understand your point. Mine is that you dont always want to shift where the blue line in gt5 ends and since they didnt give us a shift rpm parameter, they had to make the blue lines longer. (although they should all extend all the way to at least idle rpm like the dotted lines in your graph).
 
Thanks for your replays people, lets hope that someone from PD will have a look at this thread.

@SHIRAKAWA Akira i will even pay for a chart like that.

I dont know about you , but i am really curious as for why this thing looks like this, and why they've never change it/evolved it.

When gt5 was released my thoughts were...ok they needed more time, in a future update they will fix it...
So here we are, almost a year and half later, almost 15years of GT and no one? not a single person in PDI have ever said ...."i think we should make the box wider" ...let alone remaking it from scratch.
