The GT300 7 will get totally over shot once I get a yellow that suits it right. The 787B was a nice acquisition today though, and the obligatory Spirit R and for years to come, first car I choose to buy.







I'll have the rest up soon, looking to get myself into a Sauber C9 and RX-500 tomorrow.

Photos look really under exposed. Have you tried setting the game exposure higher yet? I recommend between +0.5-+1.5, it should help the photo mode details too.

By the way you can now remove engine and weight reduction parts to stock or a stage before it. Allows full control over what set up you want without having to be careful when purchasing what upgrade for the long term. I can now reduce the PP of my Z31 300ZX (semi-premium btw) within it's capability.

So I heard in photo mode (not after-races) you can put 2 cars rather than just one car for a shoot. Is this confirmed to be true?

Normalaastra:
OBJECTION. ELABORATE? You have my attention.

yepperz

You can now downgrade your Stage 3 settings to Stage 2, Stage 1, or even stock. Applies to engine tuning and weight reduction. You can also install turbo inductions to NA engine cars, and even remove them!

just got my S-license, gone through hell with the Veyron Ascari lap with my DS3...I swear it sucks to play with a controller

I don't even have room for a wheel too. Maybe a wheel to use on a custom table platform. But never in the living room. And also my bedroom. Got no recreational room either.

hi

So, coming out of Arnage on Le Mans, there is a PORSCHE banner over the straight.

Kaz is just trolling us now.

What really Normastra, My room is small enough to fit 2 tables, a double sized bed, 2 tea-tables a 32" inch HDTV, and I'm using my cramped space all together and still able to get a G27 in 2 days, and GT6 tommorow. (exxageration on room size)

I would buy a new HDTV if I were to move it upstairs to my bedroom. Then there's a 42 inch TV downstairs and also I can control myself from gaming too much. Wouldn't want to be stuck in the room for long periods even though I'm enjoying something.

I think that would be a reference to the Porsche curves, an official name for the difficult, nasty S bends before returning to the Bugatti Circuit.

Oh, more queries to ask to those who bought the limited edition, for those saving up money / waiting for the standard version release (I still have a bad grudge at that catalogue and hardbound casing for appraising the price beyond my financial allowance):

> How does the GTAuto menu look like? Any new features?
> In terms of Aero parts, what are the new ones for the premiums? Are they getting new lips/bumpers and more wings? For the standard ones, other than wings, what do they get?
> Are the rims model specific or all rims for all models (excluding those that can't be applied)
> How would you rate the improvement of the standard models going semi-premium? Are they on par with the premiums now minus the interior/cockpit absence?

@Normalaastra,

So you're saying that (like in the TXR series), power upgrades/parts affect the weight of the car too by a certain amount?

EDIT: Due to wall of text, I have place pictures within the paragraphs to make the post more appealing.

>GT Auto
An entire column in the main menu is dedicated to GT Auto. It loads super quickly to open up the store categories, but switching back and forth to different menus may be the newest test in your patience. Tuning parts and racing gear are moved there. You can also switch your car simultaneously by opening the Start menu and change the car, no moatter where you were in the middle of the menu. You can scout custom parts on the car like body kits, and change the car from that screen. This goes as well to tuning parts, paint, and servicing. Racing gear can also be bought at GT Auto, and color can be selected from selected presets.



>Aero parts
There are several new parts depending on car. Aero parts now cover a full range instead of different individual parts. In this case, the only aero parts right now cover front bumper (spoilers) and side skirts. No changes to rear bumper are possible, but at this time a substitute for that would be flat floors.

Flat floors are the newest Aero parts available to GT Auto. It installs a flat surface underneath the car to improve underflow. However installing flat floors also includes a rear diffuser (that's the rear bumper substitute), and the diffusers disrupt top speed airflow, but helps cornering.

There are also a new section of Aero parts too, under the "Other" category. At this stage, it only covers headlamp parts. This only exists for a small number of cars however.



>Wings
To my surprise they are categorized the same way as MT does, with one collection containing 2D wings, another containing 3D, some car type spoilers (they actually are spoilers from GT4-5 plus brand new types of spoilers), etc. New spoilers are more bold this time, they don't look like thin spoilers, but it's width may be much wider or much smaller than you could expect.

>Rims
Rims are only specific to car models if you wish to keep the wheel size the same as that of the original rim's diametre. If you choose to buy a larger one (Inch 1 up, inch 2 up), you choose the entire rims collection to choose. Some new brands include O.Z. wheels, Hayashi, TE37SL's, and more original rims based on wheel spokes made by GT Auto.



>Standards (GT Auto)
Not much is new. Wings only still. But the new wings and older wings are covered too, so at least they got some more options. Nothing for Aero unfortunately. Not even the semi-premiums.

>Semi-premiums
The updated standard models look fantastic for a PS3 game of high quality. Some may look even sharper despite showing some classic era modeling in various parts of the car (window panels is one). The new lighting physics make them look premium from a couple foot's distances apart, so finally the standards look pleasing to glance at too. Sometimes when I go race against one, I question whether they are updated or not, and I have to get very close to them and pause the game to see whether it's true or not.

>Your question
You took it the wrong way, but yes, parts do effect weight now.

What I really meant is that you can now change what parts you want in your car at free will.

Well, you be the judge.



Seriously, after you come out of the Arnage turn, it's the first thing you see.

Well, as of tonight I'm all gold/all stars from B to IA, just gotta work on S races tomorrow.

Added Sauber C9 to the collection, I have a knack for making large purchases rather then many small ones. Now it's time to collect all of my GT500 cars and some newly added GT3 cars.

And I took more photos here and there, I'll add those up soon. I need to hose them in a way they will just show full quality right away rather then having to click the photo.

isn't that just a sponsor banner (like, it'd be in the circuit irl too?)

just like theres a mazda one in laguna seca (im pretty sure there is??)

hahahaha.....

oh kaz you so trollin...

Bought it. Now g27 next day.... Time to go home install and play...

It might be. But, when a banner is something that isn't licensed to be in the game (like Porsche), or is tobacco/alchohol, it's usually changed/altered in some way.

The Mazda banner is completely different because:
-Mazda has licensed cars in the game
-The official name of the track is Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

If your theory says that, then why are the Infineon sponsor stickers blocked from the R8 Race Car (LMP) from the car, if Infineon Raceway was modeled in GT4?

You know what's amazing?
THIS GAME.

What's more amazing?
NOT HARD TO USE ON CONTROLLER.

Even more amazing?
G27 WHEEL TOMMOROW!~

....GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND gotta get em all.

Infineon no longer sponsors that track. It's now just called Sonoma Raceway.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoma_Raceway

Well, added a Raybrig HSV-010 to the garage and got this. I'm done all Goodwood/Lunar and all races and licenses are gold. Only thing I haven't done are any of the one-make races.

So this makes it in chronological order of oldest to newest in garage:
Spirit R RX-7
Amemiya GT300 RX-7
R32 Skyline GT-R
R33 Skyline GT-R
787B Stealth
Sauber C9
Raybrig HSV-010

+ A few cars I won from license/race completion that I kept.

And now to buy myself the Ueno Tokyo Mclaren F1 and more GT500 cars. I need to tune my Pikes Peak Quattro and Diablo GT2 to see if they are any good.

i see you uploaded that straight from your phone camera

how can i tell? well, it's takes two screen-spans to see it all (@1080p)

i wonder what its like for anyone unlucky enough to be using 1366x768 (like my laptop has ugh its so baaad)

also, 212/214 ... those 2 losses

hopefully my copy comes tomorrow / im not working tomorrow

if both are not true then i think i'll have to cry myself to sleep

Tested some ingame color experimenting and 1:1 frame.
