Re: Gran Turismo 5
I have a Logitech G25 that works with my laptop, no issues. I just have a little Lenovo Think Pad with a crappy Intel integrated graphics card, and iRacing works fine with the wheel - force feedback, clutch, and h-pattern shifter all work perfectly. You just need to download the drivers which are super easy to find and install.Mario Fallas wrote:i think i will but, i'm not sure if my ligitech wheel will work with the lap top

Re: Gran Turismo 5
Seriously, for those in need of a quick racing fix, here is a great game: http://generally.rscsites.org/version.shtml
This game will challenge you with braking, turn in, turn out, throttle control, and focus (something I left behind at my last event).
Make sure to map your keyboard keys to use 2 hands (right hand is throttle, brake, left hand is right and left).

Re: Gran Turismo 5
i gave away my PS2 & GT4 thinking i wont need/want them since i purchased a brand new PS3 & the new (then) GT5 prologue game not realising that it was just a sample of the actual GT5 game, all though it's a lot of fun playing on line, i miss all the tracks & cars of the prior GT games, i hope the quit BS with the release date & make this the last postponement!

Absolutely, no other way to play. There are a few different ways to do this, and it depends on your computer/tv. If you have an HD TV it will have HDMI, but not all computers have this connection. If it does, this is the best way. If not, some televisions (and most computers) have VGA - this isn't bad, and it's the setup I use especially since my graphics card can't support the full graphics capabilities of the game.

I hope that by now you are lapping Mosport to get ready for May, or tweaking things at WGI and NHMS to shave off those last few tenths!Mario Fallas wrote:thanks Nick!
When the season rolls around, if we can get enough participants, I might think about hosting an iRacing event just prior to each COM event...although that's a conversation for a later date...

Re: Gran Turismo 5
Looks like that error comes up when you try to install with an anti-virus software that gets in the way.Mario Fallas wrote: "body not text"
Open up your anti-virus software and either disable it (at your own risk, of course) or try to add the iRacing application (.exe file) to the "safe" or "allowed" lists.
Worst case - try uninstalling your virus anti-software, uninstalling and re-installing iRacing, then re-install the anti-virus software.

Re: Gran Turismo 5
Back to Gran Turismo 5 - This game is awesome...but the AI is dumb as rocks (still...feels like GT1), and the difficulty of license tests varies greatly (typical GT series). Overall super solid.
Anyone else already pick up a copy? What races/events/cars are you playing?
