    its got its download chip/s so you can download while playing or when its on standby.
    also when its downloaded a little bit you can start playing while it downloads the rest.

    ...and now the fucking game is updating as well, ffs Sony. I might have to hang fire on that pre-order and see if the PS4 is going to suffer from the same shit.
    ...and then the game starts, you don your 3D glasses and take to the Nurburgring.

    And all is forgiven, a PS3, a copy of GT5 and a 3DTV are certainly one of gamings highlights!!!

    Simply awesome stuff.

    Oh my very first time was 12:11.908 but I was on the phone to Orange and with the sound down. I know I'll be quicker but I don't think I'm ever going to have a 'white' time!!!

    right then. We will all pick one car to use and a tune limit? Then its off to the races. Il look into if we can find a way to see times. If not then Davies idea will be used. Open to all and everyones welcome.

    I had a quick go and I'm 5 secs up on the circuit, the problem now is I'm trying to hard once I join the old section and clipping a kerb really unbalances the car. Perhaps I ought to go down Digi's route and bung on some traction/stability?

    i took everything off as i always do then noticed bos_bos had traction at 5 so i tried that,
    not sure what i had on on my fastest lap as i didnt check, shoulda been everything off but might have been the default.
    (and if so it dont help and slows me down so i know were i went wrong)

    Eee gads man.. Managed to get some more (3D)time in on this between the mega-sportathon weekend. Only squirting around at lvl 15 odd but by christ the fistpumpyness of managing to nail a dirty great V8 charge off round Laguna Seca had me getting all misty eyed for the years past of GT. 

    I'm still mighty shite but found that trying to manhandle a 400 odd bhp monster on hard sport tyres was.. punishing. Slipped on some softies (not slicks mind..I have some pride) and it all became a lot more sensible. 

    Forza 4 simply doesn't have the same appeal to me atm oddly. Even the jazz is now a pleasurable association for the sluggish menu guff. 

    Lovely stuff.

    It said you had it in 'fanny' mode Digi!!!

    I would love to see GT go down the route of if the car hasn't got an auto box, traction, abs, etc irl it hasn't got it in the game, it surprises me just how many people won't even try doing their own gears.

    So after a lot of looking and searching the web, We are shit out of luck for having a table of friends times on tracks. The only way to do it is on either a time or drift trial in the seasonals. Not a huge pain but it will dictate track and car choice. I spose it mixes it up for us but then again you wont get a lot of choice and I cant remember how often they rotate.

    The GT-R one your all doing runs until the 23rd. Other 2 trials we could do are a 

    time trial event: 
    550pp Italian cars on special stage route 5 and
    600pp GT500 on Fuji speedway.
    This 2 race event is up until the end of the month.

    Drift trial event:
    non Italian racing cars drift on trial mountain reverse and
    racing cars on Laguna Seca drift.

    I mean would anyone be up for doing a bit of this? We could all agree on a cut off time and then post up the scores on here? Just an idea and one that means people can join in without having to commit a set time and date and do it as and when they can?

    I hate both tracks on the Time Trial and I'm not really into drift!

    Also this'll be me done with GT until next weekend at the earliest so it looks like I've shit-out on actually grabbing a medal for the 15 year challenge!

    35.0 with the X2010 Prototype. I could do better if I was inclined to. That was with auto gears and everything off except ABS at 1. My setup was unchanged apart from lowered gearing.

    Manual gears are worth a good bit of time out of the slower turns, but it's easier to focus on the turn-in points and carry high corner speed with auto.
  • Stuck this in,obviously for the first time since putting in new hdd and was asked to install. Time remaining was extremely erratic, changing from 8 to 40 mins and anything in between but it's been on 6 secs for about 15 mins now and the bar is practically full. Is this normal? The disc is still reading, the hdd indicator flashes every minute or so and installing had been flashing in the corner up til a couple of mins ago. I'm thinking I've just been unfortunate to hit some dirt right at the end but don't want to cancel it if it is actually working!!

    Given it's Monaco GP weekend how's about setting some times on the Monaco track?

    I propose using an F1 car with no traction or ABS in keeping with this season...
