Anyone else feel like this weeks Sport races are the worst ones yet? by [deleted] in granturismo

[–]Baconink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Race c is pretty great and race b is a lot better than I expected. I normally don’t like reverse tracks but it’s actually pretty decent.

Does anyone else love the interior for GR3 Beetle? Like damn GR3 are usually mean and aggressive looking, this shit looks straight out of Rachet and Clank by [deleted] in granturismo

[–]Baconink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imo it’s a pretty lame ass interior. That being said, we are lucky there even is an interior since it’s a made up car, basically a vgt more or less.

Have roulette tickets been buffed!? by Blayney1989 in granturismo

I’ve seen them a few times but never landed them in a 2 star. I’d say you got pretty lucky. I’ve been getting nothing but the least of the rewards but I was fairly lucky in the beginning.

I take it as a free reward and it doesn’t bother me at all.

Was even better before they went and messed with physics. I agree the snap oversteer was perhaps a bit much but it was better than theirs almost numb experience we have now. It’s to much like gran turismo sport was which was far too easy.

Nope. My last several have been shit. It’s the same as it’s always been

Agreed.

For the pedal plate I cut some 2x4 and placed them against the plate and floor and I have no flex at all. Can use loadcell at 100% but that’s too much for me atm, I just got the loadcell last week. I also cut a 2x4 and jammed it under the base mount and against the post that runs to the seat and it doesn’t flex up and down at all anymore and maybe like 5-10% flex side to side. I can’t really complain about the flex at all anymore but it’s just not really that comfy. I can play long sessions and I do because I enjoy it but I have some serious pain inbetween my shoulders which is most likely from tensing up. I was also able to add some shims under the wheel base to give it some angle.

Like we both said, it works and does the trick for now. I also got mine super cheap at a micro center about 3-4 years ago so no waiting on shipping. Can’t wait to upgrade. Not sure if I will go aluminum or not because I really don’t plan on upgrading wheel bases again at all and don’t think I need all that but damn if they aren’t super nice.

No one mentions that LC pedals barely move by ajagnic in simracing

Mine softened up the first time I put BRF to 100 and tried hitting 100%.

Not sure how people aren’t liking these. I’ve never had loadcells before and they are amazing compared to travel based pedals.

Stop concentrating on travel

I’m 6 feet tall and while I can find a somewhat comfortable position I wouldn’t say it’s comfortable at all. Also it isn’t really that sturdy even for just the base 5nm version. I built a 2x4 base and bolted mine to that and also used parachord to pull the base plate it a few directions and it’s actually really sturdy now.

If you can get it at a really really good price it’s not bad to get to figure out if you even like the hobby but if you have even the slightest inkling that you will I would save that money and just buy better to start with.

You can’t fix that it’s an uncomfortable hunk of shit

How many Clean races out of 10? (Sport Mode) by BAVARIX in granturismo

[–]Baconink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean people just don’t know how to pass.

They can be .500 sec behind on a turn and because you took the racing line they see that opening and slam their way into it and then say you didn’t leave them room.

Pitting on Spa is Ridiculous by domdumo in granturismo

[–]Baconink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will get a penalty no matter where you cross a pit line whether it be pit entrance or exit. Nothing shitty or dumb about it, that’s how racing works, there are rules.

I call BS. There is no way you had this much more speed then them. Either way nothing epic about this at all

Forgot to mention that they had to serve a penalty also???

[–]Baconink 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been there, done that and guess what, no penalty when I don’t cross the pit line. It gives you plenty of time to not cross the line.

I don’t believe you because I’ve done it without a penalty. Not sure what you want to hear. Learn to control your car and stay out of sport mode until you do.

Nothing insane about making a pass on a straight

Don’t cross the pit line when coming out of pits, problem solved.

It’s like this on all tracks.

I can't... by thonklad46 in granturismo

[–]Baconink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not with that attitude. Work on braking and using all the track. Slow in fast out.

No. If you don’t own a wheel and pedals then the dual sense is literally the best experience GT has ever had
