and also :rofl: kaz proved that almost no one reviewed this game properly.

From what I have seen, he has just proven that they missed the damage progression. Wouldn't change a review score by more than a .1 if anything though.

Which starts happening at level 20, hardly that far into the game considering the maximum level is 40+.

i think it would do more then that. because if we are comparing this game to forza (which obviously we are) and none of the reviewers saw the realistic crash damage that is going to effect the score quite a bit becuase forza does do a really good job of it.

I'm 15 and I've seen damage, not anything drastic, but it's there.

To repair my GT-R is tens of thousands at the moment, lol.

It must be level 10 then, not 20.

And yeah cost is why it's said damage is incremental. If it was full blown at level 1 you'd be unable to play the game due to damage costs occurred in learning to drive your cars with the new physics :p

There be no rewind feature or automatic braking in GT5!

You know what I find funny in Photomode? If you are in a standard car, you only zoom in only so much to the car, or the camera will tell you to go back furthur lol. Oh.. PD.. you should've just remodeled those cars.

Does anyone have a good resource online of just the best overall approach to things?

For example I am going through be A-Spec Beginner races still, and I am now at a point I need certain cars for certain events. So I am wondering if I need to purchase them, or go do some license tests to get the cars, etc.

For the first time in a long time I actually looked up an official strategy guide, was going to pick one up from Amazon with the credit I received for purchasing GT5 from them, but I do not see any official guide that is released for everything. The only thing out there is some track guide, which is not what I need.

I've found the best way to quickly earn money and level up (if that's what you want to do) is run the special events. You get a LOT more XP and cash for those, than starting in the A spec beginner championships.

You can buy any car that has those kind of requirements. Say if it's an FR challenge, just go through your list (if you have any FR cars) and if you don't, you can buy one at the Dealership or at the used car lot. So far license test didn't get me any cars.. only the A-Spec races do.

Sorry for the double post, just had to make a couple of points:

- I just finished the World Championship in the professional series. Haven't finished a lot of the lower ones yet but I like to mix it up a bit. The weird thing is after completing that you get shown the ending credits... Considering I've probably not even scratched the surface in terms of % completion, it seems a bit weird to me!

- Possible spoiler:

I got the Bugatti Veyron for completing the world championship. It's not even a Premium car!

wtf is with that?!

maybe just that one isn't? No way they made the worlds fastest production car and an car engineers wet dream a standard car...

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
