what dont' people like about the menu? i think it's fine compared to previous GT games

lol?

^that was ridiculous hahaha

that is absolutely sick

i still dont know how to drift, well only a very little bit


458 turn off everything but still hard to control , because controller? i dunno

dont check this thread.. but just found this vid.
pretty neat.

I need to borrow/rent a jigsaw to finish the cuts and some paint to finish, yet so far so good. The Ikea chair is low, and with the pedals raised it feels very close to sitting in a car.

$30 Ikea laptop table
$5 Ikea laptop stand
$10 of screws, nuts, bolts
$7 sheet of MDF
$5 for 3/4" plumbing baseplate and nipple
==
$57

I didn't think it'd be as stable as it is. The 3/4" nipple fits almost perfectly in the Ikea laptop stand, and a couple bolts drilled through tightened it up.

Computer desk ftw :D

Might have missed this, but can you re-win cars this time around?

ex. Win championship, earn car, sell it, erase, and start over, win car again?

I think they must have fixed that in GT2, if it ever was possible :lol

nope, cant win car twice... you cant even sell some of the prize cars

For the guys with steering wheel/pedal set ups,

I'm considering the logitech driving force pro, but I noticed it only has 2 pedals.
I'm assuming it's a pretty big difference in gameplay if there's no clutch pedal?

Get the Logitech G25 or G27. It's worth it.
My setup...

I am still debating over whether to get it, I agree with others who say it's a learning curve but all my experiences with the g27 have been disappointing and the steering is way too light, I guess it is adjustable but I don't really get any feel out of the wheel and always snap oversteer.

I think if I do buy a seat it will be the obutto but i'm more likely to build something like taylor with the ikea desk and some drills. Oh well another week and a half to make my decision, not gonna get caught up with anything until after finals :P

Although if I order a wheel now I can get it by christmas I think :/ Memory express said 2 weeks

Is the DFGT that big of a difference because my friend has one sitting around that I can just take (i mean borrow ;))

Get the G25! I love it and its worth it. Get a larger wheel too :P
I modified mine, MOMO Race wheel, flipped pedals and heavier shift. Use my setup and you won't be disappointed. It rocks!!!
By the way... I LOVE THE 87 MUGEN CIVIC! It handles and performs so well! I thought I would get smoked but no way, its a walk through the park. 20,400 credits every time I race on Autumn Ring under Professional. Easy way to make cash so far.

you guys have such nice setup for steering wheel.


here is mine! cost $13.99 + $1.00 socks so my feet don't get cold.

I use to have that table!!!

^ dude i used to use the table mate...was fine for my entry-level Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP wheel but when i threw the G25 on and i'm steering hard i flip the table over haha!

^haha. you miss your old setup doncha. trade? haha

anyone still having troubles shifting into 2nd gear off the start on the H-shifter?

I find it worse with some cars...im completely off the throttle and with the clutch depressed the whole way before i shift and i still mis-shift

interesting...
cuz for me...
when i start the race...
i push the clutch down with my left
i push the gas down with my right
the H-shift is in 1st...
3-2-1-st (left foot off the clutch art.... car shoots off in 1st gear =P?

you can shift into 2nd gear no problem after that? many are reporting the issue on the g25/g27
http://community.eu.playstation.com/.../td-p/11911975
also my gears always turn back to neutral when i collide with other cars with quite a bit of force

interested in where you got the table, is it sturdy enough?

^ read what i mentioned few posts up

it happens to me sometimes...
but not at a frequent enough state....
oo.. i didnt know it was that common of an issue :P

Funny GT5 story... I was at work yesterday, and had a customer calling in and saying that he wanted to trade GT5 for something that's less disappointing.

I said "Sorry sir, we can't accept games back once they've been opened... I'm sorry you found it disappointing but we can't take it back."

And then hung up and started laughing with the other staff who were listening in.
