I was able to get one recently via a limited online "release" of PS5 by registering on the PSN.

Use these steps:
1. Login to your PSN account
2. Click on Hardware, then click on PS5.
3. Select on the upper right the button to "Register Your Interest"
4. Click on button and follow the steps to register

About a week to 10 days later I got an invite for the following day to participate. The 1st time it took about 35 minutes to enter the store and there were no more left. I had to re-register and the 2nd time was last week and worked like a charm: got into the store in about 10-15 minutes and they had inventory.

Set it up this past weekend and it's just amazing, and I'll have the Logitech/GT7 setup sometime this week .

enjoying the time trial. slap in a time within around 4.5% on day one and watch the top time replays, wait 2 weeks and get a million creds

what game has the G82?? I can't find one!

[G30M]

so far none that i know of

Hi. I have a home made rig (I converted my grown up daughters first ever pine bed into a rig), grabbed a sports seat from a wreckers and bang.. I moved from the G29 to the G923 about 3 months ago. The brake pedal being the main reason for changing and it was just before the DD Pro's were being released... I agree, it is very noisy. The brake pedal is better but still not right in terms of feel.. I think I will get a DD Pro.. perhaps nearer to xmas when I can set up a second rig so visitors can race at home with me (of course they will use the G923 wheel... lol).

**ALSO** - Check out my album of GT7 BMW liveries. I'll add to it as I create more - but they are all uploaded, so if you like them, search "iflowboy" and download them and enjoy.

I would love to play the GT7 but I am a PC person, And it is not available on PC yet, Hope it comes out soon. I am also going to Buy Logitech G290 Next week.

Ive been playing Gran Turismo 7 a lot -
there is a car called BMW VGT (vision gran turismo)

I am sure it is across between the M4 CSL but with a M2 front and M2 rear

the issue i have is - it doesn't have a cockpit view!

but the engine sounds like the S58 (without burbles)

now using it to do Le Mans for about 850,000 bucks for every win

Sardenga world touring car, 15 laps. Has a higher return per hour. You dont even have to worry about loosing time in the rain. But its a 800pp race instead of 700pp.

I wish there were more GT2 and GT1 cars funny enough lol.

[G30M]

i've done that but i don't like the track. i can do 7 laps in La Sarthe but not 15 in Sardegna.

[Equilibrandt]

Some of those money grinds were really mind-numbing.

I've been loving the Manufacturers' Cup races every few days. Get to see how I rank versus my county, my state, and the entire US.

stupid Fanatec keeps disconnecting nowadays

hopefully there will be a firmware update to fix it, otherwise heading towards retirement and cashing out on the PS5 (assuming still supply issues)

How did you pay for the fantatec? Visa/Mastercard?

If its within the OEM guarantee period you can reach out of fanatec, if not, you can try contacting your credit card company and see if they have an extended warranty policy (assuming you dont have an entry level credit card, you should)

You can have them reimburse the charge. You can tell sell the fatatec and get another wheel.

[G30M]

i've lost interest in GT7 anyway

Fanatec isn't sold in my country i imported it via a friend from overseas

Just want to say, I like GT7 a lot but if you're looking for simulation it's a terrible option. From 1 (not realistic) to 10 (realistic), it's probably a 4 and that's me being generous. Great option for fun though.

[G30M]

i give it a 2 for realism, 10 being real car real track

AC 3
ACC / iR 4
RF2 5

but number of cars & tracks = 100 out of 10 for gt7, looks spot on. just that they don't drive, sound or feel like the real thing - both the cars and tracks. it's even faster to drive around in hard racing slicks over puddles lol.

I'd lean toward 2 as well.

It's amazing how terribly they implement soft/medium/hard slicks. Why do they make tire noise too?? Why does a GT3 car understeer into a hairpin going 40 mph?

It's a really fun game as long as you don't want realism.

What's your TCS set at?

[Alfisti]

I dunno, the realism thing is over rated, who wants that much stress? You still need t carry the right lines etc and there's great nuance to turning a good lap. There's a million things wrong with the game but realism factor is fine.

[G30M]

i drive with every assist off except ABS full. TCS 0. GT3 cars will understeer even at 40. you have to trail brake perfectly, weight transfer perfectly - not too much or it will understeer more, turn the steering a certain way but not too much not too little, not touch the throttle at all, pray the outside tires are not on the surface with no grip, not touch the kerb ...

and one time out of 100 it will turn like on rails. the other 99 times, turn 1 at spa bye bye

high speed corners are easier

[wtwo3]

I will say the GT games have never been true "simulators" despite the tag line. They were simply better than the competition (the competition at the time being full on arcade games like need for speed). So by comparison it was the most "realistic" game you could get on console.

GT7 is IMO the best and most realistic iteration of the Gran Turismo series (despite all the technical and business issues the game has issued since launch). It's no rf2, but I don't think it's meant to be. I think of it as a more.accessible and approachable realistic racer than hard-core simulators like rf2. I think if you can get past the idea that it's not a truly realistic game compared to... real life... you'll see that it's a lot of fun based just off the variation of cars and tunability.

As for understeering in a GT3 at 40 mph... I'm not sure I'll have to go back and check. I don't recall experiencing wonky issues like that... I'm using a fanatic ddpro setup and it's been fantastic.
