update 1.05 - Ensure you follow the AUP when posting

So guys, can anyone give some information on how the "No-HUD" option works? Can you just turn the full HUD on/off or even parts of it? And can you map a hotkey to toggle the HUD?

In the same menu where you can change your Cockpitview, you can turn HUD off, or just the instruments (speed, gear, rpm etc) off or completely on
 
No, all people with 40GB PS3 will look real stupid a year from now, because they won't have the free space to store 12 600mb updates and GT5.
And what about the people that don't have internet acces on their PS3's? The case and the manual don't say:"You NEED to be able to get online so we can fix the broken game we sold you!"

No offense, but EVERy game requires you to go online to update, this is 2010.
 
I'm not sure you can do it by USB... this seems to be an option though (although doesn't look the simplest way of doing it)

That wont work for me. Part of the internet problem is the PS3 cant connect to the router. Anything regarding any network activity is sadly out of the question.

How about this then.... Can i take my ps3 to a place which has internet and update it there. Then afterwards it wont need to sign in to PSN to work when i get home will it?

Its about to be 2011 get the internet or play N64.
 
The new Seasonal A spec races seem to be pretty sweet addition to me, but they also apear to be quite hard to gold, at least for a not so skilled driver as me.

I only tryed the fiat 500 race, but there seems to be quite a a gap up to the leader im like 15 seconds of him, after trying two times quickly with a DS3 ( I normally use a wheel ). Anyhow this is how i like it. when things are hard but not imposibel :-)

On another note, I also found out you couldent change the oil. So after I changed the oil on my fiat 500, it had to much HP to qualify for the event. I had to buy a new one to try again.

Does anyone know if there are any tuner items that can be bought and fited, and still not have the Fiat go over the allowed HP ?
 
The game was completely functional upon release besides the server issues that EVERY online game experiences these days.

Everybody said "JUST REALESE THE GAME ALREADY" and when they did they complain and bxtch about every minute detail. If sony would have let them PD would spent another year delvolping the game, but you know what?! id rather have 90% of it now and get the other 10% via patch. If you spent hundrs of hours playing this game since release and you have nothing more to do thats YOUR problem. Maybe you should go get a job or a woman. Maybe you would have something else to complain about besides PD not developing the game to YOUR opinion of what it should be.

Functional, yeah, never said it wasn't, but it was lacking, and the reviews and people complaining wre correct about that. Fixing it after the fact doesnt change the fact they had every right to com,plain the game was lacking compared to every other modern racing game.
 
AGREE 1000% with Amused2Death66, marky5244. 👍👍👍

When GTP make in homepage a list of thing to fix?? so PD can read the GTfans request!!

This is very impressive and I'm quite happy with what we're getting. Really hope to see more updates like this in the future. :D

Btw, I got gold on the Intermediate AMG challenge last night, right before the update. Does this mean I will still get the Mercedes CLK-GTR?

Idk man i spent all my free time playing this game and im nowhere near done with it... I agree things like leaderboards and more options for online races should have been there since day one, but what can you do? PD is on top of this, they could have easliy delayed this game till holiday 2011 but im glad they didnt... im having too much fun now!

Get yourself an ethernet cable and plug your PS3 directly to your router or directly to your PC.

good for you, doesnt change the fact a lack of online system, lack of online restrictions at launch, lack of Xp/Credits, lack of damage, lack of a-spec events, no match making, etc....

Yeah, that will work fine...

I am pretty sure that each "600mb" mb update is not appropriating an additional "600mb" of HDD space.
 
Hope this hasn't been said already but, after grinding at the American championship at Indy I was awarded with 117,000 cr instead of the usual 98,000 cr, and you can just click START after the race has finished instead of waiting for the race to load again, if you want to carry on grinding.
 
No offense, but EVERy game requires you to go online to update, this is 2010.

I played Forza 2 and am playing Forza 3 and they are completely finished and every feature is working as it should without the need to update every month. You should really check out the world outside GT.
 
I think PD is reading this forum daily! The HUD on/off option is nothing usual... I don´t think that an usual gamer will turn it off, they did this for us!

The update sounds great so far and as Kaz said, this is just the beginning...

yet it had patches that requires internet............................... Your the one that needs to check the world outside, almost every game today gets DLC and patches, even the Ps3 itself gets updated onlione, move out of the dark ages,.
 
How are they gonne look stupid? The game should not have launched in the state it did, they were right, despite Pd are doing a good job of improving it.

I don't think anyone really gets what they seem to be going for here.

This is the first major GT game with online compatability.

This is Gran Turismo 2.0. they gave us a package to start with with the sole intention of building off of it.

This is me defending PD, this is me just laying out what I think they're doing.

It's like Facebook, when it first started it was a lot less than what it is now. But since there wasn't really a precedent to compare it too people just ate it up bit by bit. Now if you were to imagine GT5 as being the first Gran Turismo of this new age then you're on to something.
This is the beginning of a very, very, long journey.

So in the future people that complained about GT not having this or that will seem dated, not stupid. Because the future GT players will know everything that they wanted was added slowly, so features that were screamed for now are taken for granted and just simple then.
 
Again, false, there is nothing they need to change. Just race the way you would and if you hit a wall goiong 200 MPH your car is damaged. Thats it. Also, for people who dont want it it could be turned off and on, like many other racing game.

Go and park your car on the racing line and watch all the A.I cars smash right into you, then you'll see why people don't want damage in A-spec until the A.I is improved.

Why does is take you guys so long, I don=t mean to boast but, it took me 2mins and thats kinda long cuz i have fibre optics

Some countries don't have good internet yet and some people can't afford a fast connection are just a couple of reasons.:sly:
 
You can finally turn your hud completely off, awesome!

Seems like the leaderboards are only limited to the seasonal events as far as I know. Any one find a way to post a leaderboard time in different cars or in practice?

That's a bit of a bummer i would say, had hoped i could race with any car and post a lap time that everyone could, both with stock and tuned cars.

It has but good news is never heard too often!

No one will park cars while racing, irrelevant. Also, thats a lie, only on sharp corners do they aas they dont see you, a video on you tube proved that was false. no one wants A-spec damage? LMAo, says who, its one of the biggest complaints people have with Gt5.

Trollers gunna troll...

Like i said get yourself a woman and a job. If you hate the game that much sell it to gamestop and remove yourself from the GTPLANET forum.
