It would have been better (but) I had a big off into the sand at flugplatz.

Where am I going to find 9 seconds!!! Carl, are you running race gas?? :D

irritating isn't it Vonzipper! Mind you, Im getting a little worried myself seeing as you are only a couple of secs off my skinny ass!


Andy

I'd like to post a video of a lap but how on earth would you capture it directly off the screen? I don't have a camcorder.

ill send you my memory card and you can save a ghost replay for me to chase!


Andy

ah ha! That's an interesting idea. I wonder if there's an attachment for the mem card to pc. Then you could just send them over the internet...

well, i can use my ps2 online.........wonder if its possible..........ill look into it!


Andy

The SharkPort allows you to transfer game saves to your PC. I think the saved replays come up as separate files, but I don't know of a way to make them into an mpeg or simular file.

ok guys I did 3 laps tonight in Arcade mode and could not better 7:35.245

This weekend at the ring I had a true scare as I spun at about 100 kmh or so leaving the brunchenn (spelling?) corner! I kept the car on the track but damn that was not expected.

hmm...Im starting to feel a little better about things now K9 and Carl are struggling!

Andy

what steering wheel are you guys using? or just a stick?
thanks

im using the logitec driving force pro. it was designed in conjunction with the game and its top quality. the feedback is so good its tiring to use! pedals are nice and progressive.

click here to see it


Andy

I'm using the controller.

i was using the controller on all the previous games, then a mates wife (who works for top gear) blagged a seat and wheel. brilliant. it made the whole experience so much more real. so I went that route when GT4 arrived. maybe I should try the controller.......maybe thats the key!

Andy

I almost bought the GT4 wheel but then I realized I'd be paying almost $400 to play a single game!

good point Carl, but you can use the steering wheel for other titles. I plugged it into my laptop the other night and XP recognised it and let me use it on liveforspeed(.net)

Andy

Or you go the cheaper route. I picked up one of these for about $40.
The feedback is pretty good, it only turns 180° lock to lock, but that is fine for living room racing. :)

thats the wheel that i tried at my mates. more than enough for what we need

Andy

had ten mins tonight, 7.36.06 on my second lap! amazing.

Andy

(ill post a pic later!)

I only have about 10 full laps on this track, and it was in different cars so I'll be happy if I dip under 9min in the stock BTR, but I'll give it a shot. I never knew it's possible to change tires in arcade mode.... do you also have to buy them?
