it seems I'll have to restart my gt5 career...sigh. it is a lesson to always backup save files and game data after every session.

do you guys have any idea how can I get the JPGT GTR back?

same spec & tune? how much does it cost?

to start over is PITA...if got the GTR can speed level and collect credits in no time. maybe I should ask PD whether they can resend the cars obtained from JPGT event and GT Academy that I've redeemed

don't GT5 patch 2.02 make a backup save now? or did both saves corrupt?

shouldn't you be able to just delete the corrupt save and restart the game from the backup?
*
no backup...whole ps3 system went haywire sweat.gif so i have to restore whole new ps3 system cry.gif luckily I only 3 games so far, so it's still ok. but my GT5 progress all gone cry.gif GT5 is the only game I play everyday...other games like once or twice a month. now have to re-sit all the license test, die lor

IINM, he didnt back up his save game.
*
yup...on spot sad.gif


QUOTE(evoHahn @ Jul 30 2012, 11:01 AM)
really? i thought the added feature was the ability to back up save game to a thumb drive. IIRC, he had to reformat his HDD.

http://gran-turismo.wikia.com/wiki/GT5_Update_v1.05
*
the whole ps3 system corrupted...just because it took farking 30+ mins for GT5 to response to any input after race and i force shutdown ps3. i think GT5 was trying to save, but it can't and stuck somewhere. the lesson is to never switch off ps3 during save...and to backup regularly.

.
QUOTE(katnl @ Jul 30 2012, 11:04 AM)
yeah, not sure when backup to thumb drive was implemented since I never back up anyways. but was pleasantly suprised to see the automatic backup feature. very nifty, unless you somehow manage to screw up your whole hard disk.

what prize for classic car anyways? me is curious.
*
the thing is...i never connect thumbdrive to ps3 for backup purpose. i only use thumbdrive for mp3 transfer and game pic transfer

and yup, v2.02 does make a backup...but in PS3 hdd. pretty useless if the owner didn't backup.

I encounter this few times already with GT5. Hang / No response for >2 minutes, and no HDD activity (the orange blinking light on fat-PS3).

What I do is, press the PS button, quit the game.
Then start the game again.

I've also straight press PS button, and scroll to shutdown without quitting the game.
No problem also.

Never force shutdown before by flipping the switch.

Also, I have USB sticks to backup once I've passed certain difficult levels/stages, and do it at least once a week.
Once every 1-2 months, I will do system backup into another USB HDD.
*

yup..should have done that. I just grind 7 million credits and got my fastest time on nurburgring and felt it is a waste if I quit just like that. silly me...now all progress is gone doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

the lesson price is >9000!! cry.gif



QUOTE(katnl @ Jul 31 2012, 12:11 PM)
invince, sad to hear. but you shouldn't worry. trophies still stay, and I don't think GT5 is necessary to complete. I started a new account for the sake of it recently, and there's so much joy driving those slower cars again and going through the paces as opposed to LMP online races all the time. license tests are fun too, but you're going to suffer for iB-1 license this time if you don't have a wheel hahaha! credit is easy to come by with seasonals.

the only painful thing about starting a new account is the GT-R academy special car. still kind of sad I don't have it anymore.
*
thank man. i wanna try grab those files by converting ps3 hdd to external. hope i could get them back. the saddest thing is I lost the mclaren f1 lm which i tune so hard to fit on nurburgring....and also the calsonic gtr..which i love so much.

I notice, for those online challenge, as long as exit from racing, and it sync-ed online, no need go back GT5 menu (quit / shutdown), the rewards are given out the next time you enter into the same online menu again.

I also scare HDD/OS crashed, that's why practise constant backup regularly. Imagine the time spend on all those races and endurance. Also b-spec grinding. Left the last 24-hours Nurb to do only. Need to spread out to 3 days, perhaps this coming Raya holiday.

y i dunno.... doh.gif if external cant do anything, then i really have to start over again. haizz...

QUOTE(evoHahn @ Aug 7 2012, 12:41 AM)
wider might not the correct term, but what i getting at is that some corners you dont have to brake and shift down, just it is adequate just to shift down a gear. for example the 150r at the suzuka circuit can be driven at full speed with the correct gear ratio
*
end story it is track-based and comes down to try-and-error tongue.gif

usually if a track got many tight corners i tend to use short gear ratio for lower half and make it longer for higher gear, but not too wide. the wider, the slower car accelerates after gear shift due to torque lose.

for example, my McLaren GT LM top at 343 km/h at stock gear ratio at nurburgring. I max the final drive, change gear 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 to short, and set longer ratio for 4-5, 5-6, 6-7. top speed is 325-330 km/h but clocked faster lap time. it's different story if I slipstream another faster car brows.gif

keep in mind:
- short/close gear ratio give you higher torque between shifting, thus higher acceleration at the cost of lower top speed for those gear (and overall).
- high/wide gear ratio cost you lower torque between shifting, thus slower acceleration, but yield higher top speed for those gear (and overall).
- take into account highest top speed one could achieve at specific circuit, try get the top speed 1st by adjusting final gear ratio.
- then, while driving, take note of car acceleration, rpm and gear at corners (also how car behaves), try adjusting them to suit on those corners.
- try all those in auto mode. after nothing to do in auto mode, then move to manual mode...minor adjustment may required.
- happy drive!! biggrin.gif

usually i try to get gears for cornering at 3 and 4, sometimes 2. gear 4-7 reserved for sprinting on long straights. final gear usually set for slipstream on straights...but rarely occurs.


* if possible, make sure gear lines are overlap with one another, else, acceleration after shifting may suffer so much until the engine achieve desired torque again...could take very very long at higher gear.

evoHahn, Invince_Z,

Thanks for the tips. Just realised yesterday I'm talking wrong thing on adjusting. It is the Final-gear ratio.

Actually, how to determine what number to use for final-gear ? higher or lower ?
or based on what ? e.g. based on the last-5th ratio ? or average of the ratio ?
Is the final-gear more for achieve high speed on long straights ?
*

usually i just max or 3/4 it
