GT4 Official Progress thread. (post-release)

The other one was getting too long.

So what did you people start with?

E46 M3, and bought a TypeRRrrRRrR.... that needed a damn oil change as soon as I got it on the track.

Oh yah... the M5 on the Ring...

I bought a Mitsu Galant VR-4........not so sure if it was a good idea. I've now increased by stable to a 99 Teg Type R that whistles when you get to 7000RPM (), and an SVT Lightning.

hehe... nice...

First car bought was the 98 Integra Type argh....

What was with that Sunfire concept prize? That thing sucked camel balls...

I played until 4 this morning... so tired. got A and B lisences, just got the teg, gave it an oil change, some upgrades... sold the polo and the Italian mini...

Man, I'm gonna be posting so much less on this forum for a while...

Junkster, who thinks some of the mods will appreciate it

There isn't a C6........I was pissed. You think it would be in there. They don't even have the Grand Sport anymore.....but they do have the older ZR-1 which I don't think is a good trade off for no C6

Yea, I sold it and the polo, and got the Type R with Mugen tuning for the FF series.

16 tests per licences sucks! I got the A, B, and iB so far. Finished the Sunday and FF races with the Type R - slight mods. This game is definitley GT2 meets GT3 plus some polish on it.

I need to get the component video cable so I can play in 1080i @ 60fps. I saw some pics comparing the 480p to the 1080i and it blows it away! I'm just using S-video right now.

the sounds are indeed incredible in this game... and don't listen to what anybody else tells you - the graphics ARE better than GT3... for example, the trees. Race @ Tokyo - make note of the trees.... to me they are easily noticeably better-looking than GT3.

AND.. the physics. damn.

Great minds

What mods have you done to it? I upgraded the sport suspension, exhaust, chip, turbo1, LSD. 270hp. Turbo spool is awesome. So cool....

yea def. Graphics are awesome. Was showing brother tree detail on the N-Ring.

We raced, m3 v. NSX on the n-ring. haha that was fun. we were all over the track. much fun. Two distinct exhaust notes from the m3 and the nsx....both perfect.

I bought a used 91 Prelude Si VTEC for FF races then a EVO MR which is a dream too drive.
One thing I hate is the way you can't buy a car test it out then reload if you don't like it. With GT4 when you buy a car you have too keep it even with auto save turned off.

I've started a separate forum for Photo Mode pics, since I plan to be posting a lot of them.

there is also a general forum for GT4.

this is not a plug.

just plug a USB flash drive into one of the USB ports ... so damn sweet.

When you take a pic and go to save it, it will appear as "USB Storage Device" under the save options. The default save quality for USB storage device is SuperFine, the highest available. Save the pic, plug flash drive into computer to transfer.

Supposedly its not compatible with all USB flash drives. I have specifically seen incompatibilities with the Sandisk "Cruzer" series. I just have a generic no-name 1GB flash drive, works great.

here's more information on flash drive compatibility:
