What's your ranking on GT5 Demo contest?

tinysumo · 12-20-2009, 10:57 PM

Best time I've got with the tuned Z was 1.39.7 a few days ago. I was ranked 174 but its dropped a couple hundred spots by now haha....

MC · 12-20-2009, 11:18 PM

im off this demo... ive played it hours and hours and more hours and am knocking just hundreths off my 1'39 thats all.. i know its a sim but if the 370z really spun that easily in real life 70% of you guys on this forum would be in a damn ditch somewhere... seriously im over here chasing my ghost but i cant over take it because i have to drive like im on ******* egg shells or the back end will come around for no good reason.. any pedal modulation out of a turn and your done.....

Its a pain in the ***, but if someone else is doing it I should be able to also.

It just bugs me that there is a chance that some of the leaders are probably kids who dont even have a car...

edit: Oh and I just thought of something. You think maybe adjusting the force feedback/sensitivity on the wheel settings would help make the car more manageable?

MC · 12-21-2009, 03:37 PM

its possible, i didnt even think to mess with that but to me its the throttle sensitivity more than the steering... im using the new logitech GT that came out with prologue, i think it has more to do with the new physics plus professional setting with ASM off instead of the standard with ASM on that ive played for my entire life as far as cutting time i know alot of people are taking off almost a full second by running almost all 4 tires over that cement patch to the right of the last turn before the straightaway, if you do it just right it cuts the entire corner if you go too far over it will say " next lap invalidated"

I had a near perfect lap then the thing went into limp mode

shabarivas · 12-21-2009, 05:14 PM

ROFL - well you guys realize the tuned one is FAR from a 370z lol... the untuned one is close but the tires are just N2s

nicknick · 12-21-2009, 05:27 PM

Who cares it is a game and this is a car forum. If you want to play games stop annoying people on this forum with silly games. go out and drive the real thing.

Yes "States the guy who doesn't own a 370z, let alone a Nissan in general.......'
so what. i have nothing against the Zed in fact someday i will own one. I just don't see the need or care about games and i do not see how they enrich this forum. Maybe this thread should be in game thread/forum. Games are for kids.

This thread is about people attempting to reach the top 20 slot so they can race a 370z on a real course. Yes, many of the posters are owners of the car, but that is part of it. They are talking about how their own car is different from the computer car, while also sharing their own rank.

Also, "games are for kids," you definitely do not understand video games or the concept behind them. This is not the thread for it though.

Then quit wasting your time reading this thread. Its in general discussion for a reason.

I dont see how YOU "enrich this forum", so you should quit posting right?

The point is, not everything posted on this forum will be about the 370z or about mechanical or technical subjects. Thats why these forums have an "off topic" and "general discussion" section. If you are only interested in material regarding the 370z then just dont waste your time reading these threads.
