Gran Turismo 6....Official thread.

[Pots]

The fabled course maker is finally here:




https://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-6-course-mak...

As far as I can tell, the tracks will be designed on an application (iOS and Android), saved to a PSN account and then loaded onto GT6. Whilst I would prefer that the tracks could be created within GT6, I'm just glad it's finally been released.

Hopefully it's not a let down, it's only been 663 days.

Weirdly I've just given this a quick go (first time in over a year, I think?)

After the massive, massive list of updates I really think this stands up well. I've been through numerous PC sims and Forza 6 and I still managed to enjoy GT6.

What really stood out, though, was the 3D. I upped the depth effects and had a blast around the Ring and, despite my eyes feeling like they were being sucked out my head, it looked incredible. Even matching Oculus Rift level of immersion in some parts (OR needs lots of development and way more power).

And the sound effects have improved massively since launch.

I think I be firing up the PS3 this weekend.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Who'd want to make video games in this day and age?

Hopefully someone who can release something on time and not littered with crazy bugs that would not possibly have made it through any half decent testing programme.

More like damned if they don't, damned if they take 663 days to do it.

Well I only went and created Goodwood circuit however it appears I made it over double the size!!

[budgie smuggler]

Is this the GPS course creator, or are you just dragging things about manually?

[olliethehut]

Awesome, I've been waiting for this track designer since the damn thing came out. Welcome back GT6, Goodbye weekend!

iPad only... I sold my iPad to fund an Xbox One.

Mother. fkers.

[RB Will]

well finally! this was the thing I signed up to this thread for lol only taken 150+ pages. Lets see some ace designs then chaps.

Is it design only or can you do a GPS track with the app? Would love to see a few fav roads in there

[aka_kerrly]

If I can suss out the editor I really want to build Castle Combe.

Yep. Don't have a tablet so I have to check out other people's designs.

[Fartgalen]

Cool ! I'll give this a go. Downloading the app to my pad as I type

[Fartgalen]

Hmmm, well. Not too bad I guess.
Fairly intuitive. Get the right backgrounds and base environments and I think you could make some reasonable copies of real tracks, as well as some of your own interesting knock-ups.

[Obi Wan]

It be great if someone could do a copy of the evo triangle or route napolean.

To give an idea here's my oversized Goodwood and excuse the wrong start position I was tired.

Basically you can import a jpg to trace, this is the jpg plus my overlay:

Gt6 Goodwood by -robinecs-

And just my overlay:

Gt6 Goodwood 1 by -robinecs-

The curves seem to be harder the tighter they are. Over the next few days I plan to scale it down put the start straight in the right place and actually test my track.

37.75mile here we come.

Had a little play last night and was quite impressed. Pity you cant edit gradient, but once you learn the environments it should be easy to recreate some decent tracks. Had a go at a classic hockenheim style layout, quite liked being able to add woodland etc to make a decent blast out of the complex set-up.
Thumbs up so far.

Dont own a tablet to very annoyed that I cant use it after being loyal to the brand by owning every GT game. Not planning to buy one either just to use it. Why cant they make it available on PC aswell?

[Martin350]

I'm a little disappointed that I can't use this feature for that reason too.


I want to recreate the A303, so I can see which car is fastest from Basingstoke to Honiton.
