Gran Turismo 6....Official thread.

Disappointed by the Aston One 77, under steered like a pig... (judging by the good wood challenge anyway)

Probably doesn't help that it's so wide on such a narrow track.

Oh yes. I remember floorinf it, tapping the brakes then accelerating at the first corner and ended up going straight ahead. Managed to get gold after a dozen or so tries but won't dare try it again. Love the Stratos up there though.

Still no news on the big Feb update and new track coming then. Yet another delay with something GT based

You actually expected them to deliver something on time?

Me too, yup, the Stratos was a hoot!

If you buy one it's not half as bad as at gw. I think it's down to not being able to turn off skid recovery.

Still not amazing but nothing like as bad

Just completed the Elise seasonal which was great fun but nearly threw the controller across the room as the game froze whilst racing the Diablo GT2 just as I was about to get gold. Bloody hell.

I adjusted power and lengthened the gearing on the rocket as it maxed out on the straight big time. Just made the suspension stiffer which made it more twitchy (which was fun). The Mit Evo snow event was great fun and even though the G37 event was the most frustrating, the car felt to me like a RWD Mines R34. The turn in and the way it revved was lovely.

think i need to complete a few more national / international tests to get the G37... currently working my way through the red bull stuff. the juniors is one of the best cars i've tried so far, first thing i've driven that actually sounds good!

Nah pessimism is the best way - you can only be pleasantly surprised or right.

Cheers for the heads up. I love this game.

Yesterday I did the final two rounds of the Redbull events meaning I've now finished the game, and I need to ask what is the point of those two events? Stupidly quick and not enough fun. Give me a slower car which is controllable and that can go sideways upon request.

does that mean you can set tcs to 0 and it will be on 0 every time you try a new car?

Not sure what it means, just put the rockets TC from 0 to 6 jumped in a GT40 and TC was 5??

[Darkdice]

I thought it meant you can adjust on the fly using the RA function (it hadn't been working, don't know if they've fixed it before)

Not great update really especially a snout in February - multi monitor before 3d really? Odd

Plus there are so many issues with online still especially when pitting its a joke

This is what I thought it meant I was getting excited about going back to no ABS

Is there something in the main menu you can adjust now though, I wouldn't expect an adjustment on the Rocket to change it in the gt40, but maybe you can change what the default on every car will be from the main menu, so it isn't 5 as it always annoyingly has been (especially annoying on cars that never had TCS)

There was no option to amend it in the options menu so am guessing its like the others have said
