I use the pad. Haven't shelled out for a steering wheel and scarcely think it would make me better, to be honest. Someone at my work spent mega money on a Recaro racing seat and built-in steering wheel. Fucking idiot probably hasn't used it in about 6 months. I once saw a truly excellent...

I completely forgot about being able to send cars over to others. Iron - if you want an example as to why you should tune your cars, do the following: 1. Pick a car in your garage. 2. Race it round a circuit and do the best lap you can (in practice mode, so it retains your times). 3...

I'm glad about the lack of lag. I meant to ask last night but didn't get around to it. People going ethereal was because I set penalties on, I think. Or it might be built-in to the online mode to stop kamikaze drivers (though don't think so). In any case, it was not as a result of lag. If...

OK, a few key terms. BHP = brake horsepower. PP = performance points. Now, it goes without saying - the higher the BHP, the more grunt the car has and, effectively, the quicker the engine can push it along. However, BHP isn't an ideal measure because cars vary so much in weight. A...

Amended the time trial to be 450 PP. Just because. Edit: Car: Toyota Altezza Touring Car PP = 447 BHP = 199 Time = 1:37.149 Can definitely get a lot more out of it, too. Need to tighten the gears up and not take the second corner like a spastic.

That was done in an update a while back, now. One thing you have to say for them is that they do continually roll out updates to improve the game. The most useful update for me was when they made it possible to buy parts from the settings (i.e. tuning) screen. That saved hours. I'll find...

Right, just to get everyone's competitive spirit going - here's the challenge for the week. Practice Mode Time Trial Track: Laguna Seca Raceway Aim: To complete the fastest lap possible. Car restrictions: Any car, maximum 450 PP (performance points). Tuning allowed and all aero...

If you can pick it up on the cheap I would certainly recommend it. To be honest, despite its flaws that I'm sure are exaggerated by purists, there is certainly a hell of a lot right with the game. The online element is extremely good - in fact, if we get it to a point where we have 5, 6...

No problem. Me and Abu are in the lounge now. Waiting on you and Iron. I've already set up the settings to my liking. 500PP limit, unrestricted everything else. Car damage/tyre wear on and the only assist is ABS. 16 lap race. Edit: Iron is here as well. Just you, Dale. Just you.

I guess you'll have a similar number of updates to Abu - looks like it'll be a few hours of updates. Matt, get it done and get yourself online. The Gran Turismo 5 PESGaming Online Gaming Appreciation Society is in full swing. There are four of us hoping to get track-time tonight. You would be...

That's cool - you'll be there just in time. Abu and Iron should both be online by about 9:30, so we can have a few cruises. Iron said he has a total of two cars in his garage. :lol: Whenever you guys get online, go to Community --> then find me by username (polski_sklep) and click on...

IC - you are correct in that it's a lobby system. Whoever hosts the lobby has control over any restrictions and settings. You can restrict horsepower, car weight and performance points, or simply stipulate that everyone has to race with a certain (stock) make and model of car. The...

Can you just clarify what you mean here? Do you mean you want to play without the assists on, like traction control and ABS, and you want to know what the best setup is for a car to counter-act loss of control etc? If so, any cars in particular? It varies greatly depending on the drive...

I've not fired up GT5 in ages, either. Will add you guys and if I see that you're playing it, it will inspire me to. We should try and get some four-way racing going. For those who haven't fired up GT5 for a while (Iron, this one's for you) - be warned. Lots of updates. I popped the...

Time to start career mode this morning. Tempted to start at Reading with my VP so I can have a centre-back pairing with my namesake.

Yeah, I had the second consecutive clean sheet in sight, then all of a sudden they had an extra man over. Had to close the ball down, although I didn't get there to stop the cross and it was a fairly unmarked header in the end. He did nothing the rest of the game, either. Forgot how much...

It's just like real football. I guess it makes it easier to be a centre-back when you play centre-back on Saturday afternoons. Although there is no factoring in of 7-foot tall, blue-haired monsters.

Big time debut.

Making basic, one-line statements and contributing zero to each and every active thread across a number of sections systematically doesn't constitute 'decent enough' to me. Also, complete lack of sarcasm radar, but I guess that may be a language barrier thing.

There is far too much outpouring of love in this thread. What happened to the days when newcomers were mocked and insulted and would be shoo'd away from the Off Topic section until they had at least 250 posts and a year of forum time behind them? Also, from Indonesia - supports Barcelona...
