***The Official Gran Turismo 5 Thread***

The code is inside the case, behind the GT manual.

thanks mate

was going to check that place when i got home, never checked before as i thought they would not have been in the actual game case itself, thought it would make more sense to put them outside the case because then you wouldnt have to go to the trouble of having to single out a certain amount of the "same game" and put codes in them.
 
Is the i-C license brake test actually obtainable for gold? I must have braked at every point I could, got the best launch each time but I'm 0.017 out :(
 
Bored of the APEX book now, want to play:(

Been at 28 seconds for the last 10 minutes... Keep fighting the temptation to cancel the install.

weird i timed mine it too 33mins and the countdown was very very accurate, even when it said 3 secs left.

i have a old phat 60gb btw
 
What the hell is with the Ring challenges where they put pedestrian cars in?! Honestly! Can't get a clean lap thanks to silly cars in the way.

You've never been to the Ring then? :) Just count yourself lucky they didn't put the tour bus on there too, and a constant stream of bikes buzzing past you (and even falling off in front of you)! :p

Handbrake.

Pretty tricky to execute a 'right hand over left hand, right index finger on the O button' on a G27 selector while down shifting on the paddles :eek:

Doable but very tricky. I hope someone discovers how to map the handbrake to one of the buttons on a G27 wheel.

Shocking lack of support for the G25/27

That is highly annoying but epically great at the same time.

Want realism? Here, have realism in bucket loads (*Minus damage, but if your driving properly you don't touch anyone/things hard enough to break things properly!)

Got my chromeline cars too, I assume thats just a paint job and I still have to buy the cars? (I installed the CE stuff last night after I finished playing!)

Can't wait to play again tonight :D
 
I've got a couple of question that I wonder if anyone can answer.

First of all does anyone know how you obtain the limited edition FTO?

Second who's tried the italian night race along the street as I'm finding it really really difficult to map read at 170mph since I can't see where I'm going!

Gallardo is awesome btw
 
News regading GT5 Online

Currently the online services of Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) is experiencing some extreme online traffic congestion.

Because GT5 performs online access not only when participating in online races and using community features, but also when starting the game and during the various screen displays in GT Mode, unfortunately this online congestion is also affecting standard gameplay.

If you are experiencing the following symptoms, we recommend that you temporarily play GT5 without connecting the PlayStation 3 (PS3) to the network.

(A) If you are finding it takes several minutes before being able to perform any actions in the following screens:

- Before the start of the opening movie, immediately after launching the game
- At the top screen after the game has started
- In various screens within GT Mode

(B) Or, when it takes several minutes or more to gain a result when the following operations are performed:

- When entering the open lobby, if it takes several minutes or more before the room list is acquired and displayed.
- When clicking on an ID in the participant list of a room, if it takes several minutes or more before the menu appears.
- When writing on the message boards within "Community", if it is taking several minutes or more for your posts to appear.

* Also, some of the following features have been limited intentionally as a measure to temporarily alleviate some of the network traffic. Due to these limitations, you will find that:
- The viewing and update of the [Log] in the Community section of GT Mode has been temporarily disabled.
- Changes to the Profile may not update in some cases.
- Changes to the Friend List may not update in some cases.

Currently we are simultaneously working on several different solutions to improve the network status and alleviate the network congestion as soon as possible. We are expecting to be able to provide a proper online service again soon

My mate owns a Ventrilo server if anyone fancies using that instead of the crappy in-game voice chat, it has much clearer sound quality and you'll be able to talk while your game loads or if you D/c etc.. If anyone is interested i'll post the info on here later as i'm at work now till 6sih.

Is there even any in game voice chat in GT5? I looked yesterday and could not see it. There is some sort of text chat lobby which is the same as the PS3 text chat (crappy!).

If this Ventrilo thing works off a mac, I might use it, and pair my Sony Headset to it.

The PS3 text chat is very annoying, was in it yesterday whilst playing GT5 with some people from OcUK, and when people chat you cannot see the top right of the screen, so you cannot read the BHP of the top 2 cars in the garage, unless someone stops chatting!!

Yeah voice chat works, heard you say hello through the speakers but didn't have my mic on.

Ah cool, no-one said anything in text chat and I didn't see a mic icon so I assumed the worst.

Would be great if we can stick to voice chat instead of text (assuming people have mics). I find the chat bubbles that appear highly annoying and distracting.

Well, I thought about waiting some more but caved in and asked the GF to pick up a copy and also placed a bid on a 2nd hand Logitech Driving Force EX of 25 euro, is it a reasonable wheel?
 
I didnt like the top gear lotus race :mad: that thing gets out of shape well easy , damn i have a old chevy muscle car with supercharger and other mods and that is easier to control than the lotus with very little driving aids :eek: .
