The key thing is the difference between feeling and interpretation.
And there in lies the issue
I realise this probably won't go down well with quite a few people who read this, so please
know this is directed to no-one in particular and all at the same time. And is posted with
all due respect and a whole lot more
There is no difference between feeling, and interpretation. Only that one is done purely from an outside perspective and one is not
We all do both, all the time. We see, hear, smell, taste and touch, the resulting electrical signals that these senses send to our brain is then interpreted and we feel what it tells us
Pure biology right!? We are all the same, but not. We all have had different experiences which make us who we are, this determines how we ourselves interpret everything we see, hear smell etc. To one of us, heavy metal music might sound good, to another...not so much, some may even hate it. The same goes for every other sense. Some like hot, some like cold, some like the feeling of sand between their toes, others, I don't get, but they find it not so pleasant
How we
choose to feel about something is purely based on how we interpret what these senses are telling us compared to what we know from past experiences, whether we know it or not
Now, the real crazy bit. I know exactly what you are saying DolHaus, trust me, I do. And I can feel the passion with which it was written (as can just about everyone
).
Now tell me, how is that possible? All that is on the page is words. All we are using to feel that passion is our eyes.
There is
no difference between how I or anyone else can feel the passion of your words. And how anyone can feel what these virtual cars are doing in out digital race track. Some may be a little more sensitive to things, no, let me rephrase that. All people
are more sensitive to some things than others. I've been into music my whole life, one way or another. Listening and playing. I still can't tune my guitar by ear, but I know a man who can
My point is. We get to use three of our five senses playing GT and you are trying to tell me, and everyone else, that we humans can feel pleasure, pain, passion and compassion by reading a few words, using only our sense of vision (and mine ain't even all the good
) But we can't feel how the car is behaving in a game based on sight, sound and touch!?
The reason that people who keep saying that real life physics works is because the are using their three senses to compare with their experiences and it's telling them what it is. Pure and simple
They have taken off all of the assists that the game has to offer (except those based on controller used
) They have tried what either their experiences tell them to be true based on real life physics and/or personal experience behind a wheel and they have used their three senses to tell the whether or not these things hold true or not.
Until any of us has done that, we really don't know either way. And no amount of interpreting numbers on a page can
ever come close to what experience and knowledge combined can.
That is just but one of the lessons I taught myself by taking that step and turning all those aids off, and trying. One of the other extremely important ones is, I thought before I did that I was getting pretty good at this tuning stuff, I had read everything I could to help me and I was comfortable with what I was doing. Then I realised, I hadn't even gotten close yet.
The aids and assists all hide something to us. Where we actually stand in our understanding of the physics present in the game. We cant compare what we don't know. And we can't know what we don't experience 💡
I know now what I didn't then. That I
knew nothing about tuning. I did everything based on what I felt was right because it made the car do what I wanted it to....go faster. But in doing this, I limited the potential of the cars to suit my needs and desires. How else could someone beat me by 2 seconds with someone else's car but by less than half a second in one I tuned!?
Simple, I made it do what I wanted, not what it needed.
Anyway, the point I suppose is. Don't ever tell anyone else that they can't do something. Or that there is a difference where there is not, or vice versa. You do not know what they know, and you are in no position to ever assume otherwise. If you want to know it, you
need to do it
:tup:
On a side note. Why do these people not enter FITT competitions? Because they have nothing to prove. They refuse to be judged and have no desire to judge others. They know where they stand and they feel good there
Don't ever misinterpret their trying to help, with them putting you down (or making you feel like that's what they are doing
) because I know from personal experience that it's not the case (most of the time)
If they seem to know something you don't, or are telling you something you
think is wrong, put yourself in their shoes completely and think again
Also please remember that we don't all speak the same language here even though we have to, don't see things that are not there based on poor translations
, seriously, it's driver dependent, some don't like low LSD, some do, some do both.
