Hi were at Monza Friday night follow the above link if yer interested

**Spudgun** · 31 Mar 2005, 20:56 (Ref:1266569)

I keep meaning to get GTR. I really must get round to it!

VALLEYSBOY · 31 Mar 2005, 21:01 (Ref:1266572)

£20.00 on amazon

Kidzer · 31 Mar 2005, 21:06 (Ref:1266577)

£20!! I paid £30 at tesco!

Sodemo · 31 Mar 2005, 22:32 (Ref:1266676)

Downloaded the demo, and im rather underwhelmed.

The physics seem ok, not too fantastic.

Good engine sounds though.

Cant understand why there is absolutely no lighting effects??!?
No shadows or anything, everything looks very "flat" visually.

Kidzer · 31 Mar 2005, 22:38 (Ref:1266683)

Well, i've seen screenies that show some fancy dynamic lighting, perhaps its something in your graphics settings?

Sodemo · 31 Mar 2005, 22:40 (Ref:1266686)

Yeah, could be, although its fine on other games. (ATI Radeon 9800 Pro)

Kidzer · 1 Apr 2005, 10:47 (Ref:1266973)

Oooh, a 9800 Pro, kinda outclasses my 9200

Well, I've got round to it. Hopefully the TTFRL league and the GTR league race night won't clash as I may be interested!

Vicki · 3 Apr 2005, 18:36 (Ref:1269037)

Well, it works on my PC now. If it goes ahead could we make sure it ends by nine, as I have to go to bed then if it's a school night. Or do it on a Friday?

according to the GTR Graphics config my PC is below those requirements (its pretty similar) and it runs pretty well, never above 30Fps in car, but easily playable

°runs to the store to get the game°

spanner · 12 Apr 2005, 12:52 (Ref:1276289)

As ive now got the game, is anything setup in terms of a league?

RobC · 22 Apr 2005, 15:58 (Ref:1284658)

I'd be up for this as well

Hazard · 23 Apr 2005, 16:29 (Ref:1285204)

I'm in when it's ready...though I know I'll be awful!

Kidzer · 30 Apr 2005, 22:53 (Ref:1290804)

Right, 1.4 Patch is out now.

Anyone still interested in a league, PM me and include connection speed so I can get numbers and who can host how many (i'm assuming no one has a server in a datacentre we can use

) and then we'll see how it goes from there

David

Kidzer · 1 May 2005, 15:13 (Ref:1291113)

If anyone is interested, im hosting justnow - Enna, full sim GT Only.

Game name: David Race
pw: Tree

spanner · 3 May 2005, 15:48 (Ref:1292113)

Just a bump really to catch anyone who may have missed it.

If your interested please PM Kidzer to gauge numbers.

Thanks.

Hiya - as you'll see elsewhere, I've now bought GTR - still sitting here in the bag at the moment. What else (if anything) do I need to get online?

I'd be interested in the occasional race, but with the TTFRL for GPL, it could be no mopre than occasional, I'm afraid. I'm 2.2 Mbps.

**Spudgun** · 4 May 2005, 17:32 (Ref:1293013)

Ayse, it has a multiplayer lobby built-in to the game. There is a web-based lobby thing called 'Racemore' as well where SimBin have teamed up with another concern.

The game ships as version 1.3. The first time you go online it'll make you upgrade to version 1.4 which was released last weekend.

**Aysedasi** · 5 May 2005, 06:55 (Ref:1293420)

Yep, I've got the upgrade. I see there are cars and tracks at Black Hole (and elsewhere, I guess). I'be just downloaded Bahrain. I've only just driven a couple of cars. Quite tricky - and the dark is something else! I need to adjust the steering though - it feels much too light and I get tremendous understeer in virtually every corner - even on the default setups.

RobC · 5 May 2005, 08:06 (Ref:1293469)

I use the "FAST" setup for each track and modify the fuel tyres depending on distance. Uping the ARB on the front helps with the grip but then makes the back twitchy....getting them both to work is hard work. This is with the 550, the Lambo is the easiest fast car to drive

jpc · 5 May 2005, 10:27 (Ref:1293534)

The race and fast setups aren't that good and seem to be setup to always give understeer. Once you have sorted the gearing out, you can make the setup more neutral with the ARB and spring rates. I think you should try and aim for tyres temps of around 90 and pressures once up to temperature of around 170. Could be up for some online racing but I've only got a dialup connection.

I don't know if it's just my particular driving style, but nearly every setup I use I take off a hell of a lot of front anti-roll bar, sometimes all of it, and that helps me alot. This includes the setups I get from the online files section. Since these cars don't really suit hanging the arse out at every opportunity anyway, I tend to run quite a soft setup. The tyre temps don't seem to suffer so thats good enough for me.

One thing I have noticed though (through habit) is if you get into trouble, defying usual practice and turning the wheel more into the corner rather than opposite lock in some cases works as well as it does in GPL.

Though you know you're going to pay for it at the next corner after the tyre temps go through the roof! Just goes to show how well the physics are modelled in recent times. Thank you Jim Clark!

The supplied setups are a bit rubbish, far too bouncy for a start.

petestenning · 7 May 2005, 08:15 (Ref:1294926)

Bouncy!, i get seasick at Magny Cours even more so in a 360 Modena or Any Porka. More bounce than a budgy on trill.

woodyracing · 7 May 2005, 12:45 (Ref:1295039)

are there any extra tracks or cars for GTR yet ?
