How are you guys directing your action shots?

The only way I can see is to B-spec or drive the course... then go to the photo screnn. But if im a second too late with the button, or mess up the corner trying to get that perfect slide, I have to wait another whole lap? Very anoying on the ring!

Is there a way I can place the car on the track? Or drive a partial section, then goto the photo screen?

i think most of us have been playing GT4 since release and are pretty accurate on the racing lines..... practice, practice, practice.......

i don't know about everyone else but i usually just go for a spin or have a good race, and when watching my reply if something good comes up that i think is worthy of a photo, just save the reply, head to the replay theatre and when u play it over, you can hit select to take photos.... this is also good if you want multiple car shots.

if its really a big problem with positioning, just drive around and park your car at a spot were you would like the photo, i personally prefer action shots with motion blur, as evident in most of my photos...... see below......

yeah i normally dont bother with a full lap...

normally i will drive around and park in different spots and then hit the corners i like to get the action shots and then just take pics thru the reply.

thanks guys yeah I guess i will take my pics from my replay.

at first i thought this was a bit of an oversight, but i guess the rational was that u dont get the pics in real life unless you really do the driving, so same for the game!

what i really wanted was sideways pics with suspension squashed and smoking tyres. on the ring as well so I can send the pics to my friends os. we hired a mercedes C180 purly for driving on the ring! didnt c any skylines there, but a shitload of fast cars including a few DTM cars with number plates!

      @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).

      At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself

      I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
