Quote from Keling :....Should I just dream about going back to home everyday, or have fun with what I have?

You are free to do whatever you want, but personally, if didn't have a wheel, I'd rather do something else than simracing. I am of the opnion that when I do something I do it right or I just don't do it at all.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :...I never felt the need to buy a wheel...

You don't buy a wheel to be faster, you get one because that's how cars are driven

I have the T500RS and the force feedback in GT5 or GT6 doesn't feel bad at all. Sure LFS is x10000 better but even if I stop playing for months and I try it again I can drive normal and naturaly, just like if I had been playing the day before. Maybe is because I have played too much already? I dunno

Quote from KiRmelius :...Don't think much about your first car as you're going to crash it anyway.

Losers consolation

I agree though, get a shitty fifth hand car and emjoy it until you desintegrate it.

Edit: Suzuki Cappuccinoi FTW

Quote from tristancliffe :...So it's set up to make a change in exhaust note that idiots find agreeable...

Well in the attached example it actually produces 60 more hp in that rev range, so I don't think is just the exhaust note... could it be better if it worked like you said? Well I guess so, there must be a reason why it doesn't though.

Anyway, I am happy to know that I am an uneducated idiot

Quote from Keling :Aren't most of the "concept" cars designed by unemployed game designers who failed to get through the physics class?

No, they're official, from current designers. I know guys from Alfa Romeo and Bertone who worked on them.
The world of car design is not as simple as it seems, so I guess they thought: oh, screw the everyday problems we have while designing a car, let's do something cool without taking care of anything, is just a game.

Quote from Mustafur :...But as i Said GT5s recreation is pretty wrong.

Well that was my point from the beginning

Quote from tristancliffe :You can see on that graph that torque and power drop below 5800rpm. Without the change of cam, the difference would be about 20hp, perhaps less.

Vtec is just a way of selling cars to idiots.

Torque and power drop at 5800rpm just like with any other similar car, the difference is that instead of shifting up you just keep flooring it and get some extra juice. I like it.

Torque? That's not how it works as far as I know. Lets take this dyno sheet as an example, and you can find similar ones allover the net



It's a common 4 cylinder engine until around 5k rpm, producing just 120hp. After that, the vtec kicks so in just 2000rpm you get over 180hp, 60hp more. The torque instead is pretty flat all the way. Vtec engines are known for the lack of torque at any range of revs, that's why you rev the hell out of them, to get a boost in power, just like some motorbikes.
As I said the video I posted is overdone since it's a crappy game with an unrealistically tuned engine, I just wanted to show the effect that's missing in GT5. The power band in GT5 feels way too smooth, I don't feel any change at all, revving an Integra Type R or any other car without vtec feels pretty much the same, which added to the lack of good engine sounds makes them miss their charm.

Dunno why you have that weird symbol but it's definitely the oil temp...

Not only sounds but also power delivery in especific cars. Lets take Vtec engines for example

Not only how it sounds but also how it actually kicks in. Leaving aside the fact that in that video the car is fully and unrealistically tuned, the effect Vtec is anyway completely missing in GT5.

A. An Unfinished Beta Product.... For those ones who can't wait
B. You don't pay when it is released.. You do if you want, just keep waiting

So the rest of the points don't make sense anymore.

So you want a software that automatically detects the difference when you're in Windows/Game Menu/Game itself so it adjusts the sensibility automatically?

Just get any mouse with dpi adjustement on the fly, some of them even come with different profiles that you also set on the fly. I personally have the Roccat Kone Pure and the software works great with W8 x64.

I've been thinking about investing for a while (actually after I started playing GTA V ). My problem is that I have no clue about economics and I'm not interested in learning them either, and you obviuosluy can't win a game that you don't even know how it works or what the rules are.
At the end is like everything in this world: the better you are at something, the better the results.

Quote from ACCAkut :it doesn't work with all the strippers

Juliet - Available to take home
Nikki - Available to take home
Cheetah - Cannot be taken home
Chastity - Cannot be taken home
Infernus - Available to take home
Sapphire - Available to take home
Peach - Cannot be taken home
Fufu - Cannot be taken home




she does get along surprisingly well with Trevor, same sort of crazy I guess

Wow thanks for the info man. I guess I've tried with all the unavailable ones. So Nikki's gonna come over tonight

Is the one in the lighthouse the one who challenges you running? Yeah I've completed all the missions with her, Trevor fell in love but the feeling wasn't mutual

I'm talking about SP (with Franklin). I don't think he's that ugly, and I've seen people on youtube doing it

Why can't I take the strippers home? I used to have the option for asking her at the end of the dancing, but not anymore. The bar is full and she even says she would love to come over during the dance

What I really hate is the fact that there are usually like 3 different models on the road at the same time. You're driving one car and 50% of the people is driving it, the other 50% is split between two other models.
That and the lack of cars in some situations. Isn't it call Grand Theft AUTO? It's so hard to find a car sometimes when you're on foot, even the huge multilevel parking lots are empty

I don't get how the car spawn works. I've been playing this game since it was released almost every day. I've completed the main story and 87% of the overall game but there are cars that I have seen today for the first time ever, like the Cadillac Deville and the AE86 (knock off). I saw one day the Chrysler Voyager, but ONLY that day.
And no, is not that they have been there many times and I just haven't realised, I'm a car designer so my brain unconsciously analyses every single car in the screen with a just a glance of peripheal vision

As far as I know Clio was already registered in Japan as something else, so it was about right issues. That's what I remember reading somewhere at least.

I 've also been told that the Honda Jazz/Fit was initially called Fitta, which means pussy in Swedish.
