Yep looks like it was taken down. No idea why atm.

Why are they obsolete though? They seemed fine to me
The thread was obsolete; it had become nothing more than a link to another website, with people occasionally commenting to ask where the tunes had gone. It was pointless, and added nothing of value to GTP. Patreon is the place to go if you want his tunes. Personally, I don't understand why anyone would pay for them, but can't blame him if the demand is really there.
 
It's worth the little money I spent, I'm clumsy with tunes and more with liveries, cannot paint a car to save my butter, so I rely on others to do for me...

Every Praiano tune is high expansion, low compression, max roll bars, little to no camber and toe. If that doesn’t work he blames the car or the games physics rather than his tuning methodology.
 
At the end of the day every car can be improved but nobody can make the car just for YOU, because everyone drives differently. I should know, I ran the biggest tuning garage in GT4 for three years and then wound it down and quit after GT6 as most people couldn't tell quality from quantity.

It would be beneficial for everyone struggling with setups to sit down, take a car, and drive it for an hour while not changing anything yet - and put some actual thought to how physics are affecting it under different situations. What happens at the front suspension when you brake? What happens at the tyre contact patch when you turn in? What happens when you begin to accelerate? And repeat the same for the rear. Not trying to be particularly fast, just thinking about the mechanical side of things and trying to visualize what's going on in the car.

After doing that, put more thought into how the settings affect the behaviour in each of those situations while changing one setting at a time for another hour. I can just about guarantee that those two hours would give a better result than using others' tunes for years.

Yep, that’s why I do a basic set up for road cars converted to race cars. Pretty much just as PD would set up a car and leave it to players to adjust to their style.
 
That's fine if you play countless hours. But with much less playtime you need to set priorities.
If time is an issue, here's my tip: just use stock suspension. It's perfectly sufficient in most cases, really no need to overtune.

I find for my tunes I have a 'way of doing things' too. Usually for me its lowering the rear dampers for FR cars, so I can't blame him for that. But for wanting to get money for his tunes, I DO blame him for that. Thats just dirty imo. We're a community here at GTP, just helping each other work through the game. That's pretty sad if I'm being honest, I know its turning into 'the norm' and all, but still lame.

You can't blame someone for wanting to monetize something they must spend a lot of time doing. Trouble is, without being led to his Petreon site by GTPlanet google search traffic, will it be sustainable?
