fcuk im slow. 1:22.
no idea what to do.
i did figure one thing out that was screwing me over.... the look to apex in cockpit mode. I can't use it. and i can't turn it off. had to switch to the hood view as it doesn't "look to apex". When the game does that it gives me the visual effect that the car is already turning. it unsettles me before the corner/braking point/turn in.
If there is a way to turn this off i haven't found it.
I'm also having a really hard time feeling any difference when i change things in the set up of the car.
ugh.
Hey Karl:
This game is not easy and not what we are used to, but I guarantee you those settings work in the tuning section. The trick, for me at least, is this:
1. Get your wheel settings and in game "advanced settings" (hit gas pedal under "controller options" I think) to a point where they are comfortable, not perfect, for any car.
2. Tweak the base tune that is posted here:
http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/renown-tuning-unleashed-.196236/.
So, for instance, my Corvette after I put in the base settings is a bit sluggish in the corners and I want more crispness. Well, the steering lock is like the big dial, and the Caster is like the fine tuning dial. Just read what they do on the screen. So the settings of Steering Lock - 21.00; Caster Angle - 9.00 were changed to 25/10 on my setup and it feels great. Many agree thatthe Corvette may be the most comfortable and stable of the GT1 cars. They are a handful, but nowhere NEAR the handful they are IRL, so it's fairly dead on (and yes, I have been in a 2008 GT1 Corvette on track), since the car is really America's version of a DTM car without all that FIA tinkering. Just brute power, classic sound, and no push to pass. lol.
I promise you, the GT3 cars are better, but I actually like the GT1 cars due to the challenge.
As far as the hemet view goes, I agree...it's a good effort, but distracting. Th "X" button toggles views, so just hit that until you get cockpit, which is what will be forced, unless you want to try helmet. If you can win with Helmet, you get an extra special prize.
