[PS3] Gran Turismo 5

[Blade]

I haven't tried it with an automatic, but I have noticed quite often that the gear suggestion thingy will often suggest a lower gear than what is actually needed...i.e. I know I can take a turn in 3rd and not lose anything, but the game keeps telling me I should be in 2nd

So if you are in an automatic will it drop to 2nd?

Only if you brake enough or slow down enough. It's pretty quick on shifting up from what I have noticed.

IF you want to get gold on some of the licenses you NEED manual IMO. You can brake much later sometime by downshifting accel out quicker.....big advantage!

How do you get the pics off the PS3 and on the web?

Go to your in-game photo album, then export pictures to xmb photo album.

Leave the game, then go to your xmb photo album, from their highlight the images you want to transfer, hit triangle, then hit copy to send them to a thumb drive or external hardrive that you hookup via usb.




I'm raging here, I'm not quitting until I pass the Top Gear intermediate challenge (lotus). I've came so close so many times, I always end up slamming into the first place car around the last 2 turns. Well, that is if I can even get to that point before DQ'ing :club:

FINALLY

I'm shaking so much, I must have tried that easily 75 times, finally beat it by forcing the first place car off the track on the very last turn

My tips:

Turn Skid Recovery ON and leave TC at 5.

Gotta pass the first car at the first turn, then 3 at the tire wall, and you can gain 3-4 as you are braking for hammerhead.

You should be in 5th approaching the follow through, drop to 3rd gear as suggested, as soon as you hit the follow through, its full throttle all the way across the tarmac until you need to brake.

As you are starting lap 2 you should be moving into 3rd, then it is all about repeating the same maneuvers although the first place car is quick so you have to push it all the way until the last 2 turns and pass him at Gambon ftw.

It is NOT easy and you will get pissed off. Good luck.

I know they are called Challenges, but Kaz didn't have to make them into rage sessions.....

I will say that I just finished the british lightweights race in the lotus that I won, and noone could touch me on the Top Gear track, I feel untouchable on that thing now :laugh:

 

[Colonel Angus]

So are you saying driving the Lotus in the A-SPEC races helped with the Top Gear challenge? I was able to get bronze on it and that was as much as I was willing to do. It's maddening.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

No, the other way around. I wanted to Gold the Top Gear challenge to win a lotus, and seeing as I spent over an hour mastering the turns on that track, when I went to the A-spec race, they couldn't touch me.

I did my first race last nite......A spec Sunday Cup.....Grabbed an M3 and..........gone. Not sure why they don't restrict all races.

It will get shitloads tougher after the beginner and amateur races.....trust me.

I know that but why allow me to run an M3 vs a bunch of compact 83 HP cars?

I like to think that I am gettin used to the car in those races

BTW........bought the Viper last night from the used car lot, probably won't use it much, but it was cheap and I love vipers

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Yeah just think of those early races as hotlapping

I think my tuned up SRT10 is my favorite car, and I have some pretty sweet cars.

What year and how much?

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

If anyone is interested, at DSS we are discussing the possiblity of running a league. I've proposed a trial run next tuesday night at 8pm est rolling in the Ferrari California (prize car), more details coming in the next few days.

mfbmike is just concerned about getting a decent field to justify doing it, if any of you are interested let me know, or go over to DSS and post in the GT5 thread over there.

Agree.......

The Logano Camry blitzed the field in the LV 4, Spec A, FR Challenge....even after a spin-out...coasted in all races.

I think I'm going to pick this up tomorrow. Need For Speed is fun and all but its just too much of the same thing.. Race or chase, and its getting old already.
