Looks good lloyd. However, 1 thing you must do. Make sure you set the options so that it saves the image as "Super Fine" as you will get a much higher resolution picture.

LLOYD · Mar 12, 2005

that is super fine mate it just came of a huge screen

Tim · Mar 12, 2005

LLOYD · Mar 13, 2005

mk1 ben · Mar 13, 2005

GVK · Mar 13, 2005

Awesome pic Lloyd, you lot need to learn the names of the corners / sections of the 'ring so I know where you're talking about

Where does the lap start on GT4?

LLOYD · Mar 13, 2005

it starts at t13 alte einfahrt and that pic was just past hatzenbach and my off would be at hohenrain schikane
hope that helps
tryed again last night with the full on 600 bhp r32 but it was to hard to handle but i did get the director/manager vertion to do it in 7min 12secs with the push hard setting on all the time

GVK · Mar 13, 2005

Your pic would be at the bridge with the white railings at Quiddelbacher- hohe then

I have span at Hohenrain too, didn't have the option of resetting my PS2 though

I'm resisting the tempation of buying a PS2, as I've got an xbox I hardly use, the forces are evil though

you cant guess how you get it?!

do the GTI cup you fool

Got to play it again last night for a few hours, It is a good game but I was hoping it would be a bit harder.
Using manual gbox now so its more fun. Got the tuned up Mk4 with 600 horses I couldnt believe it was only 31grand.

Hopefully the misses has a hard day at work and has an early night . I do mean that in a good way honest

Have you turned the driver aids off? all the cars have default Traction/Stability control, which makes it far too easy IMO.

To turn it off, you have to go into "settings" once for each car and turn it all off. Then try to get a powerful car(ie 400hp+) round any circuit using "sports" tyres.

much more of a challenge......

yes, auto is for hairdressers.

also on a less inflamatory note I'm convinced you wouldn't be able get gold on some of the licence tests with auto........I had at least one where pulling away in second was the only way to get gold.

Of course, I never tried it in auto.....

Ahh, no will power what-so-ever

Went and bought a PS2 and GT4 couple of night's ago from Tesco

So far got mk1 Golf GTI, white with black centered /polished rim wheels

mk5 GTI black with black Speedlines (of course)

HPA R32 bi-turbo

red Evo V

... an old Civic Type R which I started with

They've done a good job with the 'ring, looks very reallistic, as others have said it does seem narrow though and I think there are too many bumps in places.

Can't wait to get into it properly and get all these cool cars such as the 190 DTM touring car etc.

Found this on the 'ringers mailing list.

Espen (those of you on Ringers' and other lists know who Espen is)
who's been to the Ring quite a lot, and is "a bit of a perfectionist" when
it comes to his driving experience and his tuning of the car posted his
impressions of GT4 on another list, this is what he had to say.

===============
This is my first impressions after one long evening with the GT4.

First I must say that the track layout are very good, I couldnt find
any fault worth mentioning except that the track are way bumpy and have
bumps in places they dont exist in real life, this upsets the car way to
much.

Then the std road tires are way to bad, you will have to use hard or
medium race tires to get the same grip as real life ok normal street
tires.

Then the performance of the cars are a little optimistic, I have set up
a MB 190 EVO2 with the same hp, weight, downforce, gear and diff as my
e30 M3 and it looks like it are around 10 kmh to fast all over the
track, it also brakes way to good.

This makes the lap times too fast, with this car after only a couple of
laps I can manage a faster lap time with very bad driving and including
a spin and a few small crashes/offs than I can manage in a almost
perfect lap in my e30 M3, the same lap in real life would have been at least
45-60 sec slower.

And there are also some other strange things happening that I dont know
why happens, suddenly the car will start to understeer or oversteer for
no reason at all, this can happen at sections that I can do blindfolded
and at least 10-20 km faster in my M3 while reading the newspaper.
It can be because of the strange big bumps they have put all over the
place but I dont know.
Its also a little to difficult to correct slides in the game vs real
life.

On the positive side its the first game I have played where you can see
the corner before your actually are in it(3D vs 2D), I must admit that
I havent played car games since the GT1 days so it doesnt have to be
the first one.
Its not perfect 3D since its not that easy to see the braking point
perfect but at least you can see the corner coming and if its a left or
right, this is also true on the street circuts.

My tip if you buy it is to try to get a car thats as equal to your real
car as possible and drive it with manuall transmission, then its
actually almost as pulse raising when you start to come up sections that you
know are flat out in the game since its in the real life

For now I will give it 4 out of 6 I think because of the bumps,
suddenly strange behavior of the cars, bad grip in the street tires, too fast
lap times and too optimistic performance/speed of the cars.

There are no question about if a novice will manage to learn a lot
about driving the Ring or not but I dont think that someone that allready
knows it will have much to gain from it.

But I still think its worth the money and I didnt have a PS2 so I had
to buy that as well together with the game
===============

Knowing Espen this is a no-bulls**t-review

Cheers,

/Jocke

GVK - I knew you'd buckle and get a PS2 and GT4 in the end, it's too much to resist!

Don't know how you lot are doing so well getting all these cars though, I've been trying to win the beginners events and I'm still having trouble!

mk1 ben · Mar 18, 2005

loads of power loads of grip is all you need

get the hra r32 and blast everything win the second special cup and get toyota rally car sell it for 265k and do all ur cars up repeat this till ur bored then go fly round all the pro tracks

Jolfa · Mar 18, 2005

oh and standard mk1 first go 9:40 around the ring with manual trans (obviously!)and tcs and asm turned OFF (effing mk1 with traction control? my ar$e!).....

is that rubbish?

GVK · Mar 20, 2005

It's a good job i'm not epileptic ... The graduation test on the I-A licence?... 230mph bobbing up and down in the Nissan race car thing, how the f00k are you meant to see the braking point?

Those who missed the tip, go to special conditions, second race down Capri rally, win the 2 races sell the Toyota rally raid car for 265k and repeat You can win the race in nearly anything. Even a 60s Skyline

Got some good prize cars at the mo..

I've just spent most of the afternoon making a stand for my dfp wheel, so I'll be back on with the licence tests shortly.

Slinky · Mar 21, 2005

Found if you do the RX8 Cup you get a pretty nifty RX8 Le Man Car which is ok at 500bhp. Not too bad.

Also got the Nissan Z car with 700bhp interesting to turn all the driver aids off and drive in that thing.

Sorry if this has been mentioned earlier but I couldn't be bothered to read all the posts been too busy playing but have been forced to go back to work
