Freak's are cool, right? Right??

I will have a pic by tomorrow. If I don't get a pic up, I will withdraw my time from the leader board.
But as soon as I get the pic, it goes back up again

my thoughts exactly....i play it very little these days, and am not the most patient...but im running 1:26 or whatever with NOS, and a few tweaks to the setup...and i push hard for the whole lap and stay pretty clean...so there must be major gains in settings goin on

The MaDDeSTMaN · 01-05-2005, 12:49 AM

I've been doing a fair bit of reading regarding suspension and lsd setups over the last hour or two, and I'll put into practice what I've learnt tomorrow - I should be able to get it down to a 1:26, hopefully better...

If I do get a reasonable time (any better then a 1:28) I'll get a picture, otherwise I won't bother, does that sound fair enough, considering the times other people are getting?

Gooooone

Just out of interest, did you copy it through the game somehow, or boot up in the browser and copy to the second mem card?

are you playing in career mode and just going to free run yeah, so that tyre wear is off...

Freak setup? Nope, just lowered the car to minimum ride height (mainly for looks) and no driving aids.

I'm doing it in career mode where you go to original tracks or where-ever it is, and do a free run.. no tyre wear.

I went into 'Home'. Put my second mem card in slot 1. And then 'Save'.
Came up with a message similar to, No save game found on mem card, create new? Clicked yes. Saved it. Then swapped my mem cards back.

BA GT-HO · 01-05-2005, 12:42 PM

HAHAHAHA ExAreSix!

As if you ran the EXACT same time as my fastest!

What the hell are the odds of that! Thats funny stuff!

Ah well looks like I gotta find some more time from the car..

Ahhh, that's why then. If it had been done the way Skinny_Puppy said:

then it would have worked as expected.

The reason for this, I suspect, is that GT4 doesn't load your entire garage into the PS2's memory, only whichever car you've currently got selected, and the stats it shows when you look in your garage (Power to weight, Power, etc.).

So if this is the case, if you rip out the memory card while you're playing it, the PS2 can't retreive all the information required when it goes to save, because it's expecting it to all be there already asides from what has changed since the last save (car setup for the currently selected car, race results, etc.), which is all it actually saves.

I hope I've made sense.

I still have yet to have a go at this with revised suspension and diff setups, I keep getting distracted by the races I have yet to win which give me cars I don't already have. Do I need to provide proof of my 1.28.something time, or is it too slow to worry about?

You may be right, I'm not sure. Whatever it was, it sucks the big ones.

I've got a respectable garage going again. Haven't got my Mazda 787 back yet...

BA GT-HO · 04-05-2005, 12:23 AM

For those who are battling a bit, try qualifying tyres.

They cut about 2 seconds off my laptime!

Ahh, good idea, thanks for that, I'll try that.

ford.boy · 04-05-2005, 02:42 PM

with stock suspension settings, I can get down to a 1:20.xxx

I'll do some setting up later on and see how I fare.

Is it ending tonight?

M14A-Mclaren · 06-05-2005, 05:56 PM

Yea, Whens it end? is Original Circuits nxt? I want to do Apricot Hill, thats my favourite track.

loxxr6 · 06-05-2005, 05:57 PM

yeah a new circuit sounds good especially as I suck on this one.

BA GT-HO · 06-05-2005, 06:30 PM

When does this end?

Wouldn't mind trying something else.

**M&Ms** · 06-05-2005, 11:04 PM

Maybe we should make it that each comp ends on Friday midnight and goes on for 7 days, before being replaced with a new comp. We can do this until (a) We've raced every track in the game or (b) all of us have lost interest in it and moved on to better things in life.

ExAreSix · 06-05-2005, 11:28 PM

I say close this tonight at midnight. Unless someones posts a new time in the next half hour, the list as it is now, stands.

Unfortunately I don't have access, again, to a digi cam, so will not post my fastest time. My current time with photo stands.

I propose we start a championship, if enough people are interested?
This being counted as the first round, of 10. (or 5?)
Points for the first 6 fastest times as per GT. 10pts for first, 8 for second, 6 for third, 4 for fourth, 2 for fifth, and 1 for sixth. (I think that's correct?)
Start a poll every second saturday, and decided by the monday, for the next track to be competed on. Each round is open for a fortnight, closing on the friday night before the new poll. I suggest cars should be limited to production cars (No tuner cars either) of the host tracks origin. Ie, Suzuka open to Japanese (or Asian?) cars. Laguna Seca open to American cars and so on. Except the 'Original tracks', where a random vehicle origin will be chosen. (How, unsure?)
Modifications are free.
The Nurburgring should be the 10th and final round, open to all production cars in the game.

Maybe a prize for the champion could be arranged in the form of a forum shirt or sticker? Nothing too big. But something...

Thoughts? Suggestions? Not worth the trouble?

ExAreSix · 06-05-2005, 11:56 PM

Thinking about it, having a poll and trying to decide on a track and cars for each round could be a long and drawn out process.
So, I propose the following as our championship:

Race 1:
Seattle - Australian

Race 2: (7th - 20th May)
Apricot Hill (Reverse) - Japanese 6 cyl

Race 3: (21st - 3rd June)
Fuji Speedway 90's - American

Race 4: (4th - 17th June)
Special Stage Route 5 - German

Race 5: (18th - 1st July)
Tokyo:Route 246 - Japanese Turbo

Race 6: (2nd - 15th July)
El Capitan (Reverse) - UK

Race 7: (16th - 29th July)
Tsukuba Circuit - WET - OPEN

Race 8: (30th - 12th August)
Suzuka Circuit - American pre 1980

Race 9: (13th - 26th August)
Costa di Amalfi - European

Race 10: (27th - 9th September)
Nurburgring Nordschleife - OPEN

NOTE: All cars eligible are to be production cars. No Tuner cars. No race cars. Modifications are free.
The Japanese Turbo class is open to all factory turbo cars. Ie the car must have a turbo as purchased. Adding a turbo through modification does not qualify.

The last four races are intended to be of an increased difficulty.

Thoughts?

needfordspeed · 07-05-2005, 10:28 AM

Yeah, that's a good idea I reckon, only thing is lets make it so that we can choose from about 4-5 cars though.
