Meaning? im just going to split the list in half on Tuesday afternoon.

[KNAPPO]

Too sleazy then. Sorry for the confusion dude.

For saving the replays you need to check the results after the race (the podium button) then the replay save button is there.

[wabbit]

We don't have to already own an Evo X correct? Haven't done any online stuff yet.

[KNAPPO]

There is an online list of cars usable by default when you race online. im 99% sure the Evo X is in that list.

so that means it has to be that one? No modified cars, right? (if we use our own, it's bound to be modded)

[nutty]

Yes I picked a car everyone would have, and NO modifications please.. not sure if I can restrict it.. but hopefully we can get some goodwill
Also we will be using standard tires as well

[KNAPPO]

If its from the default online list that everyone can already access you cant mod it OR tune/set it up (suspension, gearbox ect)
You can change the rubber type tho so behave if Nutty wants us to stick to road rubber.

[nutty]

I could just allow us to use race rubber then? I dont care..

[Enforcer-J]

If I suss out how to hook my USB internet up to the PS3 via my laptop before tomorrow night then you count me in too. Fingers crossed it works

I reckon comfort soft would be awesome. Should be able to get some decent sliding happening if pushing to hard.

[Righteous]

Anyone keen for some online? I haven't had a go at it yet. Keen if anyone is around ATM.

[MADCAP]

i have a room open if anyone interested to practice

[KNAPPO]

Well that was teriffic fun tonight Righty, Rots & Madcap.
Super close racing in that lancer so tomorrow night looks to be a cracker.

The comfort soft tyres all round hold up really well and the car moves around a bit which is really fun. Raw pace dosnt mean much here as passing is really tricky

[Righteous]

Yeah that was surprisingly fun. I managed a 1:05:7x with the thumb twiddlers, so I might have to bust out the wheel to see if I can match Knappo. What was is it, 1:04:5x?

Yeah mate, 1:04.5 and strung together 6-7 laps in the 04's after the first one

[Rots]

Best I could do with the PS3 controller was a 1:06.1xx but it was a hell of a lot of fun!

I recommend using Comfort Soft front and Comfort Hard rear.

[c.j]

So it is fairly stable online? I should be connected within a few days, fingers crossed.

Buying a shit load of steel tubing this afternoon, building a half-cage as my cockpit.

Running my connection through internode, adsl - fast as adsl 2 isn't available at my exchange yet.

[Rots]

I'm only on a Internode 1500/512 connection, my PS3 is connected via wireless network and my wife is usually on facebook when I race, yet so far it seams fairly stable online.

[KNAPPO]

Just a thought guys.

I think if we do 10 odd mins prac before we start a race the server will position everyone in the finishing order from the prac times. I have been thinking of ways to get around the lack of qualy in GT5 and i think this might be a solution.

[Rots]

Worth a try!

But I would prefer to be randomnly placed in pole position so I can block your faster bastards and win!

[wabbit]

Great idea Knappo.

[ysu]

great idea, Rots!

[KNAPPO]

I thought you were going to block everyone with your smoke screen

EDIT:

Ooo, if i remember correctly. If you pit during prac and escape to the lobby you loose your time on the totem pole.

[h00ligan]

I'll try and add most of you guys psn id's this afternoon. I've never raced online, whats the best way to communicate? in the lobby can the host talk to people etc

[Rots]

There is in game chat available in the lobby and whilst driving, but typing a message with the PS3 and no keypboard is painful and not recommended when on track unless its practice.

Voice chat is the best option with either a bluetooth headset or USB headset. From what I'm told, most phone bluetooth headsets should work with the PS3.
