official Gran Turismo 5

Yup. Even though GT5 isn't true 1080p, it looks great. Just like Halo Reach, which runs at like 640p, and that still looks great. It shows that the "P" doesn't always matter as long as it looks good and is fun.

Except 640p isn't even HD

[Hedon]

Except 640p isn't even HD

That is correct! Which makes my point even more valid. Non-HD games can still look and play awesome in NON HD.

use these aids, SRF, TC=1, ASM.

Those aids did help but I realized I just suck at keeping the formula gran turismo on the track lol. Seriously the damn car stays on the dirt and grass more than the road.

I have yet to race the formula 1 in GT5 but I have put allot of time in Formula 1 2010 and will say the key is throttle input. Easy on the throttle at all times and especially if your car is not going in a straight line. Anytime the momentum is not going straight you have to use careful throttle. Since both games are sims I would hope they are similar.

I modded my pedals with a trick from one of the GT forums. For the brake, get a small bungee cord, hook 1 end to the bottom, wrap it around the brake and hook the other end tightly somewhere else. This will create that tension in the break as you press it further down, making it feel like a real brake. I tried this for the gas pedal, but it wasn't right, so instead, I took a rolled up sock, jammed it slightly where I could behind the gas pedal, and it adds that extra cushion to the accelerator to give it a more easier to control press. Everyone who has tried it since I did this says it is so much easier to control and feels so much better. I'll try and get a pic of it up if anyone needs help.

First US unboxing of T500RS, personally I'm not impressed. I was hoping more, for $600.00 and can only work on one game out of the box :no:

wow $600 wheel + pedal set and the clutch doesn't work out of the box. Need to purchase a shifter somewhere else. That is terrible.

Also driving barefoot or just socks. I use my toes to modulate, works well.

Ya, no shoes helps a ton as well. But this trick adds a little more realistic feel to it.

I know, it looks ghetto, but who is paying attention to the pedals while driving :p and no, that bungee actually isn't in the way of your feet, even if you double foot it.

And damn can my dogs shed lol, time to vacuum again.

I'm trying that out. My only complaint for DFGT is the pedals.

[MightyJordan]

I like the pedals on DFGT. The only complaint I've got is the wheel wobbles every so slightly after it's been plugged in and calibrated, which is annoying as hell. I have to be careful not to move the wheel in the same position outside of a race, otherwise I just hear that damn juddering noise. :crazy:

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Yeah thanks for that tip with the brake pedal shakey, gonna try that out myself and see how it works.

I have not posted in this thread in awhile, but I know I raved about the wheel when I first got it, and I continue to rave about it. What a difference it makes. I was actually able to get all Silver on the AMG Advanced Special Events, the ones in the rain and with no driving lines, and there is no, no way I would be able to do that with a controller. Now some may be saying "only Silver," but for me, someone who has never been able to play these sim racing games, that is a true accomplishment, and I will work my way up to Gold, actually got close a few times, but for now, I was extremely happy getting Silver in those Special Events.

It took me roughly 30 mins to get it. I had like 10 different cords, all of various length, and was testing out different methods on both pedals. I found a short tight cord worked best on the brakes, and it seemed like too much cording on the thing when trying it on the accelerator as well, and a sock really adds the cushion feel it needed, instead of that harder to press feel that a brake has.

I also had a couple friends with me, who I would have test it as well, just to make sure I wasn't wrong about the feeling. But once it is right, you will fall in love with the pressure it creates. No more locking the brakes, or putting too much force on it. With this, it is easier to slowly press down on it.

Anyone here pArticipating in this:

I am, very tough. I'm ranked about 500 over all in my region. Sad part is it is mere seconds I'm off the leaders. Very competitive.

Cool event. But the prizes seem a little redundant... most of the people I'm sure who will be in the top10 will be already using the dfgt :p

Thank you! :) I'll get to work on the championship tomorrow.

Cool thanks again for the info. I need to find some cords myself, if I do not have any pretty sure my father will so I can get some from him next time I visit my parents, but socks I have plenty of. If you do not mind, can you take a picture of the gas pedal from behind so I can see exactly what you mean with the sock?

I just registered, although I am sure I will be among the very, very worse.

It is loads of fun. You can load the leaders ghost and spend hours chasing it.

Do it, you won't regret it ;)

New cars in the online dealership.

The GT USB stick looks awesome, I just wish it was larger than 4GB.

Take a single sock, medium thickness really, and roll it up. Behind the gas pedal, you will see the /-/ with the last / behign half that size lol, and then there is a small gap where you could stuff something in/under the pedal, sorta like /-/_ <--- sock in gap. You have to mess with it, as to make sure you don't stuff it too far down where you can not full gas, and to also make sure it isn't too loose to just fall out while racing. I would say I stuffed about a inch down into the gap.
