Schumi03 Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi everyone, new to posting on the forum. Ill be keen to join if it is an open invite? When do you guys race. Also is anyone having any issues with GT6 as in when you start playing it your PS3 dies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvhistorics Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 G'day mate, yep, a friend of mine had the same issue when he got his first copy of GT6. It turns out the early model ps3 hasn't got the 'oomph' for the more modern GT6 game engine resolution. Is yours an older "fat" model ps3? If so it could be your answer.......

Caddo Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Welcome to join in Schumi, practice Wednesday nights from ~730pm. Sunday night is race night, from ~730pm. Qualifying starts at 8pm for 15minutes. This week we start a new season using the BMW M3 GT2, can be bought for $350k and personalised. We like to try and keep the racing reasonably fair and clean See you online, the track listing and general rules are on the previous page.

luvhistorics Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hey fellas, sorry about Wednesday night, I was showing therodster my track pick for season 2 and I didn't put any thought into actual room setup, was just doing a few laps and checking out each others cars then was going to enter proper practice room. It all went a bit pear shaped in the end. I do apologise... I tell you what meggs, you got your red machine sorted! Quick times were coming thick n fast! Caddo if meggs choice is deep forest (forward) I'll pick it in (reverse). It had a great flow to it I thought. And if cortina5Lt is racing this season he can actually drive his M3 in reverse too thanx ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortina_5Ltr Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 And if cortina5Lt is racing this season he can actually drive his M3 in reverse too thanx ;-) LOL! I did come 2nd in the last two races, and beaten by a good margin in the first race at that british thing they try to call a racetrack. I haven't had a chance to drive my new bright yellow #11 BMW yet. Will need to get a few practice laps in to get a setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slotrunner Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Only one thing to say the car is way under power PP needs to be set to 600PP that way you will have 4 set ups in the power range high range, mid range, low range, and standed range this will suite all tracks that you race on and the power range can be set up differant by each driver as some may like high range were others may like low or mid range turbos and some may not run turbo all to there own in set up Cheers Tony Edited July 24, 2014 by slotrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggavalley raceway Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Only one thing to say the car is way under power PP needs to be set to 600PP that way you will have 4 set ups in the power range high range, mid range, low range, and standed range this will suite all tracks that you race on and the power range can be differant set ups by drivers as some may like high range were others may like low or mid range all to there own in set up Cheers Tony I agree with Tonys quote above, this car is a race car & as such should have all the available upgrades included. Last night when we practiced using the car in std trim you were absolutely ringing its neck to get speed out of it. Yet when having all turbos available you can tune to suit circuits & driving style etc. If you set the pp to 600 (maximum) & drop out the HP element, you can use any of the three stage turbos available, with flexibility on turbo usage. A High range turbo could not be run at 100% but using a Mid range or Low range could achieve similar HP but at a different rev range. (thus opportunity to tune better to circuits) In relation to the direction to run the Deep Forrest event............either way is ok but reverse direction is preferred. My two $$$ worth.

Caddo Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Gday gents As long as the majority of regulars agree, I'm in. So proposed change is to set the BMW to 600PP without a HP limit. Any concerns or objections? Going once, going twice............ And Deep Forest will be run in reverse at this week 's round, Cheers Caddo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortina_5Ltr Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Sounds good to me. Using both a PP and a HP limit means there isn't much tuning besides suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow_rusty Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Try going into your PS3 settings and setting your maximum screen output to 720p instead of 1080p, and it may just work for you... A few people I knew had to do that to stop BF3 crashing on their older machines.

therodster Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi All, Yep happy with the PP Limit. I'll have to think of a track to add to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvhistorics Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Getting complicated now, remembering some of us aren't up to speed with setup options and navigation of using and setting them. But, thats what Gran Turismo is.... Im sure once we delve into the season more people will understand it. I think there maybe a risk of keen motorsport lovers, and not avid gamers dropping out in the risk, again, of becoming shall I say... Fodder?... The passion is there all day Sunday, but is completely dishearteningly destroyed come log off time. We have people who spent alot of money getting themselves set up to enjoy the heat off track battle with like minded people...us, who, lets face it, have way more experience using, modifying and learning this game than they do. But, with all that said, for me.... and remember, im in no way a front runner here.....I love this game! And think we should ring its neck for all its worth! And also think that I tend to use commas (,) way too excessively! Oh yeah, if we're doing deep forest reverse this sunday, I shall pick grand valley (the big one!) for my track pick then ;-) See you all Sunday!

Caddo Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 You're gonna have to give up work and focus on GT6 fulltime Madaz, it's time to get serious - haha I guess the challenge for us as a group is finding a format that keeps racing even, and everyone interested. Some like more power, some prefer a completely even car platform. We used the host car format for Season 1, and a couple of guys stood up [read Cortina + Scumlash], showed their driving skill is a cut above when cars can't be tuned. Season 2 will be good to introduce some tuneability but keeping the same BMW M3 base platform, to see if we can even up the competition a little, with guys able to tune to suit driving style etc. Gotta go, Deep Forest in reverse f's with my head, plenty of practice needed!!

Phil.b Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Keen for any race format as it's just a bit of run with a splash of serious on track action cheers Phil.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
