Tell me about it -_-
Level 29 A-Spec and last night I got another one of those "take to the track 100 times or cover 200km" tickets, what did I win, a Silvia. Wow.

That's the new seasonal events done then

Really enjoyed the last 2, used my mk1 Golf with about 155bhp for the 'Ring, and my TOM'S Supra for the JGTC.

Think I'll replay these two events before they're gone, quite good races.

Is the online dealership also updated?

There's a whole load of Japanese Touring cars in there now, just picked up a shiny new NOMAD Diablo

I hate how they put cars like that in the online after I've worked so hard to get them

Totally agree about the last 2 events, so much fun

Just found a Zonda LM race car in the used dealership for just under 1m, nabbed it straight away!

Is that a different car than the Zonda R I won in B-Spec?

Yeah, the R is newer and more road based premium Zonda with a different engine iirc, the LM is based on an older car, which isn't premium

Finally bit the bullet and got the FGT - wowsers

In other news i have modified my G25 pedals with a bit of rubber stuff that goes into the spring and it makes an amazing difference and gives way more pedal feel and progressive braking - really feels like a car brake pedal now. If you have a G25 or G27 i would highly recommend it for £8! http://www.nixim.com...rod&productId=3

Had to share my new purchase, a Mitsubishi HSR-II Concept '89:

Check out the "Cornering Flaps" (my name, but I expect it's what Mitsubishi called them as well

)

DO they move according to steering input?

Cool, I won that for getting Silver in the IB License.

Yea they move according to which way you steer, they both come up as an air brake aswell. They aren't the only 'active' parts though, the front 'Chin Spoiler' moves up & down slightly and the little triangles on each side of the front bumper pop out when cornering aswell:

Hey just got me a g27. Im wondering is there anything I need to do settings wise. I just plugged it in and tried it and I found I was 2 seconds quicker in my FGT. However I was 2 seconds slower in the slower cars.

Have you checked the options, there are specific wheel options you can change.

elmuzzy66. · 13 Jan 2011 at 16:11

I use the g27 and go to the wheel settings to adjust. There is no dedicated g27 profile for gt5 which is more annoying than loading times or standard cars. This means that you will not be able to change button config on the wheel
