I know some of you guys on here play! Lets setup a weekly race or something

 

Bring it on...I'm ready with my Porsche CarreraGT

 

damn i'm not that far in the game yet...i'm only on level 25...lol

 

Do you have to be a gold member to play online? I have the game but I haven't played too much. My 1 year gold membership expired a while ago.

 

yes, you have to have a gold memebership

 

I'm in. When?

My gamer tag is Deity42.

 

how bout we have our first race Sunday night at 5PM PST?

 

if you need help setting up rules and whatnot, look into the GT4 time trial thread. but then again you guys can play online so

 

I used to play but I sold the game, I was really good too, used to play with ABS and TCS off, Manual transmission, full damage and only brake lines on. I just got bored of doing the same thing over and over, you know.

 

i hear the wind blowing but the trees aren't moving....lol....

i had the most fun doing this...A class cars only...full damage on, abs on, traction control optional, stability off, tranny optional, no brake lines.

 

transmission optional? how did you shift then if you opted out of having a transmission.

 

i'm down once i figure out how to connect live in my dorm room

 

I'll play.

 

I've never played in a lobby that allowed any suggested lines at all. I'd rather they be forced off completely.

Then again I always play in Career. Don't know how they roll in Exhibition.

 

Hope you guys play in B Class, I have a B700 Legacy GT. I play no traction control, no assists at all, with manual tranny, just ABS on - career and online. I have a wheel too but I don't think it helps, just makes it more fun.

I only have 1 request - turn collisions off. Too annoying, the cars are too squirrelly online, we need a dedicated host or something.

 

yeah...you don't need a tranny for the car...don't you have game shark? jk...by saying tranny optional i assume that you understand that it means optional as in MT or AT, don't matter how you roll!

I like damage on because it will prevent people who are 2nd, to take out the person in 1st JUST to win the race...we have a lot of dirty drivers....dirty asian drivers...and i think it's best we leave it on to promote a clean race.

 

If the collisions are off, then no one would take out anyone. You'd drive right through their ghost.

(I like collisions off too.)

 

oh...i never knew that...never played with damage off...

 

Collisions and damage are two separate settings.

Collisions affect how your car interacts with other cars. IIRC, it can be set to
- On (full contact, all the time)
- Default (your car can only hit other cars going forward, cars going reverse on a track are ghosted upon contact, helps control griefers)
- Off (all cars turn into ghosts upon any car/car contact)

With the collisions off you can still hit walls and damage your car, to the extent that the damage setting is set to.

Only disadvantage I've found of having the collisions off is it eliminates drafting.

 

It's actually not that hard to play with ABS off, just got to control your braking. I used to race with the Porsche 911, the newer model, that's like 111,000cr. If I remember correctly it's A class.

Another good car to race with is the Ferrari Modena. One of the best handling non race cars you can drive.

 

I'll try to buy Forza II again just to play you guys, but you guys better play!

 

We still on for 5 PST tonight?

I guess that's 7 my time (CST).

Who is hosting?

 

yeah i'm still down.....i'll host i guess?

 

Cool. What's your gamer tag (so we know which lobby to look for)? You going to do this on Career or Exhibition?

 

I came on but didn't know who to look for and didn't recognize anyone, so I made a lobby in Career, didn't see anyone there either.

 

ROFL...sorry! i fell asleep and now i'm doing homework....

 

I'm redo'ing my Xbox Live and a couple other things, it'll be a while.

 

Wow. What a waste of time then.
