I played around with the 'photo drive' for ages last night, and managed to capture the backfire of my fire-breathing monaro (which i jazzed up, after selling my 350z race car), which took a while to capture.

Here are some of my new images. Hope you like them!

Is it me? or do these images turn out darker on the computer, then they do in the game?

You are probly all sick of me by now, but here are a few more images, which I took just then:

And remember...these images are '56k friendly', so don't be afraid to click on them

I noticed that aswell.The pictures look really dark on my PC while they look normal when i take them in the game.So what i do when taking a photo is i set the brightness to 0.75 or 75 (not sure) so that it looks normal on my PC.Don't worry about it looking bright when you take the photo,it will turn out very well on your PC.

those pics are decent. im gonna get one of those USB flash drives and take some kickass pics when i can

Empty, just trust me OK.

A spoiler gives you more downforce, but it lowers your top speed because it generates aerodynamic drag.

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 24 Mar 2005, 15:02

O.K - I agree with that.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 24 Mar 2005, 20:23

well im gonna test it out on the test track. and why does my acceleration increase dramatically with a spoiler??

Nasadus · Post by **Nasadus** » 24 Mar 2005, 20:59

Because you have more pressure on the rear wheels wich is caused by the spoiler.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 24 Mar 2005, 22:50

im gonna check too see about that top speed thing now. and im sure im gonna prove you guys wrong

EmptyWords i don't know how can't you live with the fact that you're wrong. it might not go faster or slower but in the real life, spoiler means greater downfore and lower top speed. it creates air insurrection

i think jemc is right !

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 24 Mar 2005, 23:06

i guess you guys were right. but the difference isnt signifact. i tested on a silvia. top speed withtuo a wing was 140, and top speed with a wing was 137. slight difference. i always thought that it had higher top speed with a wing. well i guess i was proven wrong, but i dont understand how it increases the acceleration and handling. cause you dont turn at high speeds so i dunno. i thuoght i was right but i guess im wrong

paras779 · Post by **paras779** » 24 Mar 2005, 23:12

thats ok.. its not about u r right or wrong..... its about the fact !

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 24 Mar 2005, 23:27

yeah, well at least now i know better, but its still worth to add the downforce cause you accelerate quicker, anyways lets not turn this topic into a discussion. once i get a usb thing ill post pics

Nasadus · Post by **Nasadus** » 25 Mar 2005, 00:17

The rear wing does sometimes improve airflow(mostly on racing cars),however it's main purpose is to push the rear wheels down onto the ground to generate more grip.A good example are F1 cars.They can go thru corners at speeds above 200 km/h but when you remove their rear wing they can't even go half that.

Also,the faster you go the more effect the spoiler has so you may not notice a big difference at speeds below 200 km/h.

Anyway enough of this.

Do you have an mp3 player by any chance?If you do you can use that to transfer your photos instead of buying an memory stick.

Did you set the wing to maximum downforce?

And, it shouldn't increase your acceleration.

And, it gives better handling by PUSHING YOUR CAR ONTO THE ROAD AND MAKING IT MORE STABLE AT HIGH SPEEDS! AREN'T YOU READING ANYTHING I WRITE?

i would like to point out that the reason i think that emptywords thinks he is going faster with a wing, is becuase threw out a track with a wing you go faster over all becuase your able to take the turns at a faster speed.

Yesterday evening i was pleasantly surprised when i found out that my favourite car from GT Concept was in GT4.I'm talking about the Nissan GT-R Concept LM Race Car.Anyone have this car aswell?I think it's one of the best LM race cars in the game.I included 2 photos from my test session at Circuit de la Sarthe last night.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 25 Mar 2005, 16:17

beatiful, i like the origninal one, cause i dnno, reminds me of a 350z which i like alot, how did you get it? gimme some stats, and QM time

jacoja06 · Post by **jacoja06** » 25 Mar 2005, 16:33

Nice Nissan Nasadus.
I kinda liked that car the most in GT Concept aswell, haven't discovered it in GT4 yet.

Im sort of glad that we stopped with the spoiler conversation, cause that was really pissing me off. lol

You win it in the Extreme Hall>Dream Car Championship .It has 610-620 BHP and drives like a dream(hence Dream Car Championship lol).It has 7 gears(shifts like an F1 car) and it really sticks to the road unlike any other car.I love it.

I didn't run a quarter mile yet but it should do pretty good.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 25 Mar 2005, 17:55

damn. im only at 19.8, and i still have to beat a ton of the races in professional, the car im looking forward to the most i think is the GT race car. the white one on the opening video. i wish i had that USB drive

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 25 Mar 2005, 18:55

i got the USB thing, now how do i take pics in races? while the car is moving

edit: i took a few pics in photo travel, it looks nice, but i wanna get some pics as the car is traveling. anyways here they are, i only took 4

Nasadus · Post by **Nasadus** » 25 Mar 2005, 19:39

You can either go to one of the 4 sections(World,Original,Dirt or City tracks and select Photodrive and let your B-Spec driver drive the car.During that time press Select and you will get the Photo Mode Options.The other way is to save your replay and load it in the Replay Theater.During the replay press the Select button to take your photo.

EmptyWords · Post by **EmptyWords** » 25 Mar 2005, 19:51

oh. umm ill try that some time soon, so what you guys think of my crappy pics?
