Had to leave the PS4 on overnight to avoid losing unsaved progress when the servers were taken down. A local save option which backed up to the network would be handy!

Anyone know if there will be any more tracks other than those on the Arcade Mode?
The choice is tiny compared to GT5 on PS3.
That's all there is.

I thought it was well known that the track and car list are much smaller than rivals.
i would think it would be double or significantly added to in the next 12-18 months though ...
Given that tracks like Spa and Monaco aren't in yet I think that's a fair comment.

I just hope they don't expect us to pay for them.

I had the same problem, but even this morning it wouldn't reconnect. A quick browse on GTPlanet forum and people were saying you had to close the game and relaunch it to get it to connect! So in the end you lost progress any way.
I'm sure they will have to do something about this or its going to ps off a lot of people.
I highly suggest saving regularly, especially in the livery editor!
FFS. They've got to sort that. With disconnections and progress not carried over I've played most of the initial stages of the game twice.

Spent hours working through the missions. Done them all. Got the penultimate one to do again after ballsing it up and running out of gas. That'll be campaign mode done. Unless they add more later.

I was quite shocked when I got a message to say that I had completed 75% of driving tests and that was 25% of campaign mode!


I do hope they add more as we have novice and intermediate driving tests so where is Pro?
Be odd to add more when the trophies and rewards associated have been awarded but you never know. When they add more tracks the circuit section must grow, too, you'd think.

The driving tests might amount to a third of the events but not a third of the time. Some of the missions are quite long (30 mins+) and you'll be doing very well to get gold first time in each. Really enjoyable though, if brutal in some cases. Had to stop as I had thumb ache!

Upped the power?

My GT3 RS is well over 700 horse. I've not tuned an RSR yet.

Using zoom its possible to get very accurate positioning and scaling, I've certainly not struggled with it at all.
Layers disappearing, have you been moving layers around?

My latest is a modern take on the obvious classic:
How do you mirror one side to the other? Assume it's possible. Can't be arsed to try and replicate what I'm doing exactly on both sides.

That list of tracks and times is unmanageable IMO. There's leaderboards in the game, why replicate?

The repetition of "make you look bad" was weird.

I also like the fact the AI ignores the content of these videos.

It’s a pain in the arse, you have to export them vi usb stick from ps4 to pc then upload as you normally would
Bugger. I've done some liveries which I think are half decent.

I don't get the driver standards thing.

Drove a race earlier and didn't cause a single accident or have a crash. My only incidents were when I CLEANLY overtook the leader after he half spun out of a corner. He then used me as a brake for the next three corners and I got a downward sportsmanship arrow and 10 secs slow down pen. I never braked earlier or changed my line. WTF.

Quick question for the other livery designers out there, do you 'copy on reverse' as you go or do you finish the entire side first?
A bit of both.

You either want to be on pole, scamper around the first corner and sod off up the road, or at the back. In the middle is chaos.

How the hell am I losing a second a lap in the banked hairpin on Lake Maggiore? People are taking it just about flat in third. I'm in second at about 70. Wtf.
