Why do Driving Aids slow you down?

I agree with you there. I am like you though when the car has so much power and rear torque then I use a setting of 1 TCS to keep the wheels from going nuts. I also use it to remind myself to be pacient on the throttle. It is a lesson learned when I use too much throttle, because it hurts my drive off.

You know another thing, how can you blame people from using traction control? Really if they can run the same lap times (online) as someone not using them, whats the difference? lol

I can't really blame anyone. As Mr. Joey said, some people just want to play for fun, no competition, just have a good time, and not spend hours on hours learning. It's almost like they play for all the right reasons. To each his own, right fellas? :)
 
I just got the game and the first thing i did was turn all the aids off... the traction control was kicking in and slowing the car down too much.

I love to feel the car move and i'm in full control.
 
Hey I take the skill I have in GT to heart. I really do. I pour hours of my time into learning. Its nice to be good at something. I play this game because I have a passion for racing. I know its like this for at least 20% of us(hmm sound like a good number). This is not just a game, its a new kind of life.

Anyways back on point...I will happyly keep TCS at 1 to help my trigger happy fringer from getting too ahead of its self. And noobs will use full assists. And you will get bumped and banged up online. But at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. And so... the world goes around again! lol

That was the first thing I did when I played the game. I can safely say I've never played the game (ever) without Pro physics, TCS, ASM, and everything else off, manual, but I didn't know until I got the wheel that I had to use the RA to turn ABS off. I said screw it, I just left it at 1.
 
I'm for example having troubles with the aids on GT5P. I started the no-aids thing on GT Concept I think, and actually what I use is sometimes ABS=1 and other the aids to 0.

But for example on GT5P, with my F40 I'm having problems on the Professional physics while online trying to drive it with all 0 except ABS=1. I really can't control it all the time so I've a question: there's anybody here that uses aids to 0 & professional physics, and control it pretty good with a SIXAXIS while on Suzuka 700PP online for example?, because it costs me a lot and for example with my F40 while starting at 1st, I' m finishing the race at 7th or so, and I'm wondering in a part it could be due to the "wheel vs. controller" thing. I know that a wheel gives you more precision.. but what I'm talking about is that I'm now in a situation where with my SIXAXIS I feel that control my car with aids 0 on professional physics is pretty pretty hard. I would like to buy a G25 but I don't know where to set it, my table hasn't has the space :nervous:

I even have to use R3 tyres on professional physics to have an oportunity to win something. I'm starting to think that I'm the worst driver here :sick:

R3 tyres + No Aids + Professional physics + Sixaxis user here! Ive yet to win a Suzuka PP700 though, but its mostly because I like to stick with the pack and race for fun with the "lesser" cars rather than win everytime. Ill be competitive when I need to be, but its far too much stress trying to hang onto to first/second/third position with all the bashers, etc. I'll go for the win when we get private races and perhaps when we start to have properly organised races and championships.
Im fine handling cars with no aids with the sixaxis on pro physics, along as no-one nudges me in the side on a fast corner, but then thats fatal anyway without ASM.

Which car are you using?, excuse me but I meant Ferrari F40, my fault because I didn't said it proplery on the previous post. But yeah I guess that with tome cars it could be better, I've only test on 700PP the Ferrari F40 and the MINE's BNR34 Skyline GT-R N1 Base, the second was the hard one. Only aids used: ABS=1 & TCS=4. I'm asking for a friend to test his G25 with the Ferrari F40 and check then if I'm bad as hell or if the SIXAXIS is just hard for me to control the F40 on that config.

The cars I generally use at the moment are the XK, DB9, Viper GT-S and Tuscan Speed Six. I'll have to test the Mine's Skyline, the F40 is a handful admittedly, but I dont think I'm having the problems youre having. I've not used it for a while, so when I get the chance I'll try again and see how controllable it is again.

I don't have one of those 4 cars, I should buy a DB9, I like it :dopey:

About the Ferrari F40... for me it's pretty easy on standar physics, I get SILVER on the Ferrari F40 S test on the 5th attemp (and not GOLD I think because I hit other car and then I recieved a penaltie), but on professional physics on online for example it's hard for me. Maybe I just have to still learn more about GT.
