Gtr 2

[geno8r]

This game is so good, but I might rattle on about it later. What I want help with first is....

What car & track can I use to crack 300 km/h!! I'm racing all these supercars & I can't even crack 300! This highest I've done is 299 on a downloaded Daytona track with an MC12. I've even tweaked the gear ratio's, wing downforce, & other settings, still can't make 300+. Fellow GTR 2 racers, help please.

Nurenburgring!

d/l the track and jump on that straight.

i'll do it now and let you know how i go!

EDIT: just clocked 309km/h on the stright just with a differance in gearing. Also did a 7.15.38 with no steering wheel.... just keyboard.

Damn i cant wait to get my steering wheel!

hahah yeah I downloaded the track the other day, so good! I’ve managed a 7.11 with a Ferrari 550 Maranello So far I’ve found it the fastest overall. The MC12 is great at high speed cornering, but when hard on the brakes it understeers too much, where the Ferrari will let the back go a little & let you throw it into the corner just keeping better speed & control, really makes a difference time wise around the nurburgring

I reckon I can shave at least another 6 seconds off it with practice. *keyboard also* Considering buying a steering wheel but I don’t have much space where my computer is*

So what car did you crack 309 with, what where the general setting changes?

[MADGT4]

MC12 i cracked it with.

BUT i went backwards down the straight at the ring lol cos its more down hill backwards.

Only got up to 290ish goin the correct way.

[geno8r]

hahah cheater! Nar but don't you think cars in the game should be able to crack 300 fine down the straight? I've reduced the wing downforce for max speed, stll can't get there. Eg. GT3 RS can do over 300 km/h in real life, why can't I get one to do so in the game, or even with a much faster car like an MC12 or 550.

Update: 7.08 around the nur in the 550 again. *keyboard*

Will shave off another 3 seconds next time.

Edit: 322 km/h down the nur straight backwards in the Ferrari 550.

Just cut a 7:15:67 round the Ring in the M3 GTR

Pretty happy with that!

[geno8r]

What version of the ring did you do that on?

I downloaded the LeMans track last night, the straights on it are insane!

[Topaz]

I love this game, but only have a keyboard. I just tried with no aids except ABS and TCS and it was hard gearing as well as accelerating and turning....

Do you guys run the Nurb Tourist or Nurb VLN? the 24hr track is just the normal F1 track i think, thats pretty stupid. I just did 1 lap of the VLN course with the Mercielago in about 8 minutes, but thats after about 3 weeks of not playing at all.

[geno8r]

Get LeMans you guys

http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=1550

We need to have a comp who can lap it the fastest, it's such a great track, tests you in all racing abilities, plus you really have to custom tune your car to get the best time.

Before today I did LeMans with a Ferrari 550 in 4:04

Today been tuning the MC12

LeMans 3:55.355 *keyboard warrior also*

[geno8r]

Screeny of LeMans

[Chris_R33GTSt]

Nice I have been playing with an Xbox 360 controller. I think the Saleen S7 is pretty quick but i havent played for a few weeks. Awesome game though! Ill have to get back to you with a time

[GTRgeoff]

Must get back into league racing. This is the best sim ever. Still getting used to driving with TrackIR so might go back to steering head control.

Console addicted GT players......it sux to be you!!!!

[Chris_R33GTSt]

Haha I am an ex Gran Turismo nut from way back. Simulation on the PC is much better. How do you find the track IR? I dont know a whole lot about the system. Definitely need to get a nice steering wheel as the 360 controller is a bit suss, least its got analogue

[GTRgeoff]

Analogue is good, FF better, seat with built in drivers even better for thumps and bumps. for good light fun though nothing like getting thrashed the the LFS crew.

Track IR is good but you tend to not turn in hard enough (since the screen tricks you by tilting toward the corner) and smack the outside wall while learning. Good for flight sims though. I use the vector system for 6DOF head tracking.

[Chris_R33GTSt]

Yeah I agree that sort of setup would be pretty awesome. I have thought about it but there are just not enough quality driving games around to justify the outlay. Maybe if people started paying for their games instead of downloading torrents there would be more quality games. I dunno I guess im just having a bitch session.

[geno8r]

I reckon I could justify the price of a good set up (for the hours of fun!) but literally don't have the room to do so! I'm not even sure if I can fit a steering wheel in, but am considering getting one.

Get those LeMans lap times up drivers!

[MADGT4]

I'll d/l Le Mans 2night and give that a burn.

Ive found that emptying out the fuel tank (sneaky) actually gets better times for obvious reasons.

Ummmmm i did the 7:15 on the tourist version of the ring.

Should i be using the other one?

If so my times suck then lol

EDIT: Ive even gone to the extreme of downloading the MoTec Pro i2 program to analyize my track data hehe.

Awesome program!

Get it free here

Its a lil hard to setup so head here to get a guide on setting it up to log correctly.

Pretty sure the above link is the right one, i can't check it cos anything to do with games is filtered here at work (damn government)

If not then just jump on google and search something to the effect of "GTR2 Motec Logging Setup" or something like that

Edited January 29, 2007 by MADGT4

[geno8r]

Just got motec installed & working, looking forward to seeing some results with it. Mainly just want to compare a few car setup profiles I've made for LeMans & see what's best for the track.

Update:

LeMans: 3:51 (Saleen S7)

[Whiplash]

with the right set up i can crack 300 at monza in a 550

bit hard to pull up for the first corner though.

I'm working on a few GTR's to put in game, including the 33GTR Lemans
