why must controls be so different than Forza!!!!


LOL, I can't even count the number of times I down-shifted instead of braking... Must. change. controller settings......



FWIW - track looks a bit different between F4 and GT5 (GT5 winning the detail), a few of the turns seem to be tighter in GT5, but at least GT5 allows for a reasonable amount of curbing/dirt usage. While F4 makes it a dirty lap seemingly as soon as tires touch dirt, GT5 tends to let you keep the lap as long as at least 2 tires are touching pavement - basically, GT5 lets you use curbing and a 'real' racing line.

I use the right analog as shifting, r2 as accell an l2 as braking

I have broke into the 1:45.6s on a wheel.

My buddy and I are convinced mr 1:43 cheated

[regnu]

I think if I had driving line on I could get there with a wheel. otherwise I need to figure out where to break and drive the track a little more in the car. 1:43 doesn't seem that out there but it has to be a perfect lap. that 1:45 was only my third lap after not playing for months.

Here's my contribution

In game shot


I think a 1:43 is doable but it has to be a PERFECT lap. I think I put a total of 20 laps up this morning. About half of them I kept going off track.

I need to learn the track.. I have found lots of time on the first 3 corners ... but turn 4 I am very bad it

"slow is smooth, smooth is fast"

I kept trying to push my car harder and harder to pass my ghost, but once I started to go slower and control my steering better (braking sooner and turning in at the perfect time), I started to go a lot faster through the corners and ended up passing my ghosts.

I'd say the 1:43 is totally do-able, i just got this time after a few laps playing with shitty controller



1:44!

Wh33lhop's best time; I couldn't beat him. I'm very skeptical of Matthugie's time.

All you guys are making me realize I suck at this game. lol

But I did just get a PS3 and GT5 on the 18th, so...

[GaryE30]

I just got back into it really. I don't use a wheel either. I use joystick for steering and buttons for throttle/brake.

Anyway to make sure people stay honest?
