Thanks smile.gif Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I'm working through B-Spec and it seems clear that eventually those 24 hour endurance races could actually be 24 real-hours. Well, maybe not, but this looks like it might have some use then.

Anyone know if you end up having more than 1 driver and end up swaping them in and out of the car in longer races. Just started and want to ensure I don't invest ALL my time in 1 driver :p

You don't get to pick the gift car btw. :p

And I wouldn't be surprised if it is a set car too, lol.

FUUUUUUUU

Man that sucks, they made it seem like a gift that I can choose. So will just get it tonight if I play.

just to clear this up all of the endurance races are based on real time, also when you do get to the 24Hr events you should have 6 drivers to swap out as each of them will eventually get tired and mess up.

I haven't got that far, but it was becoming clear that this is what was going to happen. Thanks for clarifying.

It's a ball-ache though having to build each additional driver up to an equal level as your others. I'm putting a lot more hours into B-Spec than I am in A-Spec, even though I'm further into A-Spec. My drivers are level 11 I think, but they are racing level 15 races, because I've completed the others. This makes it hard for them to do well without spending a fortune on my cars. The answer, it seems, is to go back and race in races at your current level even if you've already completed them, which seems like a bit of a waste.

Yes it is pretty bad but what makes it worse is that you cannot pause the game in B-Spec.

POWER!!!! Doesn't always win races :p Just realised that in the early races you can simply pump the BHP up and win every race, but when you get to the extreme series (lvl 20+) its much more difficult. This is a good thing, but now how to tune a car..... Any GT5 guide out there? I've only seen the GT4 one on GTPlanet, actually I'm looking for a tuning calcuator as well some guides are in-depth and I'm outa my league :blush:

Where are the tuning options? I can see where to change tyres, but what about adjusting the ride height or tweaking the gear ratios? Where's all that gone?

If you want to do it outside of races, you have to go into the garage, select the car, then there's a Tuning button next to Change Car.

Yeah, I got that far, but then what? I can choose which parts to put on the car, but I can't see how to make adjustments. Hmmm, I need to look a bit deeper into this because I'm obviously missing something.

If the part is adjustable, then there should be a little icon on the right side of the part when you go to pick the parts during tuning. Select that, and then you make the adjustments.

Ok say you bought the Adjustable Suspension. Go to your Garage-> Tune-> Suspension. Then move your cursors to Select the little dial button on the side of Adjustable Suspension.

Don't need a video to show this sort of stuff, anyone who couldn't see how it had been set up in a corner vs a straight was a fool to the usual fanboyish nonsense.

Though I had already posted a few videos after someone posted the first one showing the AI was perfectly fine at getting past you when you don't purposely park in the corner of a track.

Not to mention, we don't need a video to show us that the AI needs work, because if you played the game, it plainly obvious.

Have to agree with you there. I am level 17 and still have not seen an improvement in AI. There are two types of AI, the 3 designated to take first, second and third. The rest are designated to block me and have no physics to worry about. The AI does not promote racing. It promotes moding my car so that I can blow past them and then drive the track all by myself. A good AI is very possible, F1 2010 has a decent AI and makes the racing fun, GT5 AI makes the game frustrating or boring. As for the video, yes sometimes the AI will go around you but most of the time they will smash right into then turn you side ways and keep the gas to the floor pushing me like a snowplow so yes the AI sucks.

Should have waited. It literally hurt spending the cash on tuning up that clunker. :laugh:

I done it earlier after doing the intermediate mercedes school, earned quite a bit.

And yes, it hurt laugh.gif

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By sikhwarrior · Posted

      I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
