Yep, and it drives pretty nice too =)

Nash I'll grab some more shots of the more unusual cars tomorrow and post'em =)

What happens when you drive it 88 miles per hour?

Anybody else unlock the Polyphony Formula Gran Turismo '04 yet? It's amazing. You can't buy anything for it. It can't run down my R8 in a straight away... but at around 140, when the downforce really starts to take effect... it's amazing. Nothing corners like this car. I laid down a 6 minute Nurburgring run in it.. and the Formula race in the extreme category... 6 perfectly matched cars... lots of laps... gotta be the most fun races in the game (for me at least!).

man the Euro 1000 mile race blows, all that work and what do you get? some one HP trophy car! Bleh!

I did an 8 hour endurance race while I slept last night, woke up and had won it, then the power cable came out before I could save! DUH!

Thta's my luck, the sound of my favorite car doesn't work. Anybody else cannot ear the engine in internal view in the Alpines?

I can hear the sound OK in the A310. I'll drive my A110 and check that too.
Check in your options and make sure you have Stereo sound instead of Dolby Prologic II (unless you have a Prologic reciever).

Will check, thx Funked.

I like driving the M3, contrary to most FR cars in GT4, you can bring the rear back by accelerating, not braking. The only thing is that you need to "launch the rear" with the handbrake

to oversteer, it doesn't do it when u push it in a curve like real FR cars.

The driving physics in GT4 are funky.

Have you tried fiddling with the brake balance controller? You should be able to move the bias forward. When you brake hard, the nose drops more, throwing the car's balance onto the front wheels & giving them more grip. The lighter rear end should swing around just fine after that.

Or maybe it's just something really wierd about the M3

Frenchy, do you have driving aids off, and sim tires (N1, N2, or N3)?
Are you playing with a controller or a wheel?
I'm pretty sure it dumbs down the physics if you are playing with a controller.

*Edit* Dumbs down is the wrong term. It just filters your inputs to make them smoother.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 10, 2005, 01:22:29 PM »

OK I tested it, and yeah it doesn't want to hang the tail out very much. They are either simulating a very "stiff" limited slip or the suspension is just set up to understeer.

FUNKED1 · « **Reply #56 on:** March 10, 2005, 01:27:52 PM »

Frenchy put Economy tires on the rear, and you can buy me a drink in May.

*EDIT* Put Economy tires on both ends. If you mix compounds you get unbelievable oversteer, worse than A310.

Funked, did you do anything to the wheel? My first impression were it sucked.

Maybe it was the courses I chose, but on the tracks with lots of tight 180 hairpins, (15 to 20 mph ones), I would get the wheels over and then not be able to get them back the other direction in time without hitting the wall unless I stopped.

Part of it is the table was not all that sturdy, but the other was the force feed back resistance and it just did not feeel right.

What am I doing wrong or am I a tard? Its the logitech force feedback one.

GTO it's like that in real life if you take hairpins. You have to crank that wheel.
Get a sturdy table for sure.
Your wheel is the Driving Force Pro right? Has the big aluminum center with "GT" on it and fake screw heads?

If you want less force then just do this: Hold down "select", "R3" and the left paddle (downshift thingy on the back face of the wheel". The left LED will blink once to indicate reduced force. To put it back to full force, just repeat the button press combo and it will blink twice.

lol this sounds dumb, but What button is R3?

I will give that a try and it is the Driving force pro, and damnit I want it to work cause I want to be able to control the throttle. the all off or all on sucks, lol.

(I know it is presure sensitive but, that so hard to control)
