When did the Plymouth Chrysler Prowler grow an interior and put it's top down? I raced this pile early in GT5, and was upset the roof was stuck up when I drove it in GT4 with the top down (have pics to prove the GT4 bit).

Interior is half-decent. Seats/console is GT4-tier, but the dash/door insides/wheel is okay and the speedo & tach work. Body colour dash inlay changes when painted, and you can see the side mirror post (but not the wipers or hood). Front suspension is animated plausibly as well. Whoever did the once-over of it left the exterior door handles as a texture map and not 3D (some of the GT4 cars had 3D door handles), and the grille is still a Standard-tier grille (holes aren't actually holes). Furthermore they left the Best Detail Ever - the left rear bumper still has 'Plymouth' script inset, not 'Chrysler'.

Dotting eyes and crossing teas, putting in data for the "new" standard model Z28 and 300 SL into GTData. Noted odd bits:

Z28 cannot be painted. Oddly its pp numbers are lower than the premium. Checked and they're not the 69 SS numbers either. Standard@stealth has same PP as Premium@stock. File under weird things they never meant to make visible are weird and incomplete.

300 SL can be painted and can have wheels changed, and has same PP as premium (usual behaviour there).

Got the Scion FR-S a couple updates ago. If the BRZ is another clone of it and the 86GT, I smell event.

Not sure if this is exactly the same standard as the incoming next-gen HDTVs, but anyway:

I read the article, then the comments, then I remembered that I needed to install the Derp addon which replaces all of the words in comments sections with the word 'Derp'.

And yes, I'd expect that this is the exact same standard as the next-gen HDTVs. Some pretty incredible films have been shot in this 4k resolution, but AFAIK, the only televisions that display at that resolution right now are many many thousands of dollars.

Sony (SNE) made some waves last month when it announced its stunning 84-inch LED TV with 4K resolution that also featured a whopping $25,000 price tag. But one of the company’s South Korean rivals is already planning to undercut its price, as LG (003550) on Friday announced the LG UD 84LM9600, an 84-inch “ultra-definition” 3D LED TV with 4K resolution support that’s priced at a comparatively low $19,999.99.

Good news guys! The global economic crisis must be over! Between this and the new Dodge Viper, it would appear that the entire world is just sitting on massive piles of disposible income! Wooooooooooooo! Laughing

Hmmm, 25k for a new TV, or 25k for an actual Subaru BRZ... Suspect

Prices will come down. What did a 40-70 inch 1080p TV cost in 2000?

The main problem I heard discussed with 4K is that serving a movie to your home is beyond the bandwidth of most homes (standard problem continues to be standard). Movies shot in 4k are great, but theatres have dedicated systems to deal with those files. Also the theatres can project all of those pixels on a screen massive enough, that occupies enough of your field of view, to actually show you more. On smaller screens (i.e. even large flat screeens, if viewed from usual seating distances), I understand that 4k is basically lost.

Lots, but I'll extend your logic a bit: The bigger 1080p TVs will soon be effectively supercheap with the jinormous 4k TVs clogging the top end of the market. This is good.

Furthermore, as noted in the GTplanet article, GT5P once was shown with 4k or 240fps using 4 PS3s. If GT6 supports the choice of 4k resolution or 240fps, that'd be handy indeed.

Oh yes, onward and upward, the marching of technology is gud. But I can't help but feel that we're still a good 8-10 years before this is practical. But when a 60in 1080p TV is a couple hundred bucks that's good for all, as noted by clacksman.

Lambo Gallardo: The bad news is the steering wheel doesn't rotate about its center. The good news is the dashboard instant-mpg readout apparently works.

The Honda Insight '99 [S] has been upgraded to having a working hybrid system (it previously was incorrectly just gas; both earlier in GT5 and in GT4).

BRZ is neat. Not quite same colour palette as the FR-S/86GT. One of the GTAuto rear wings looks like the BRZ STi Concept wing (and similar to the '10 WRX). Same stock wheels as the FR-S/86GT though. Installed the goldish-yellow Prodrives on the WR Blue one they gave me after I spent the real $.99 on it.

2.08:
-Clutch range adjustment confirmed, bigger range of possible slip but I think they added all of it to 'below' where the formerly small range used to be. Takeup is now pretty close to the stop.
-And the curb sharpness is indeed reduced from where it had been, tried Sarthe '09 and Cape Ring.

Portions of the Focus ST '06 [P] windshield somehow blocks some fence textures, not sure if new or old problem.

1: OUCD is full of cars older than me.
2: The Nissan Juke facebook page is asking which of the Juke Nismo (a street car with stickers on it) and/or the Juke-R (the modified one with the GT-R drivetrain grafted in) you would prefer to see in some game if you had to choose. Gee, I wonder if some game has any ties to Nissan ...

2.09.

http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-update-2-09-now-available-brings-minor-changes-improves-hsv-010-engine-sounds/


The [Tire/Fuel Consumption] settings under [Event Settings] of the Online Lounge can now be set in four levels; “None”, “Normal”, “Fast”, and “Very Fast”.
The view during 3D display has been improved.
The speed of tire wear varied too greatly depending on the vehicle in some cases, and this has been balanced.
Improved the scoring method in drift trials to prevent cheating
The maximum RPM of the Honda Weider HSV-010 (SUPER GT) ’11 has been changed to 10300rpm. The engine sound has also been improved.
Fixed an issue where enemy cars were hitting the pit entrance wall when pitting in at the Twin Ring Motegi Road Course East.
Fixed an issue where fuel was not being consumed when entering an endurance race with a Prius, or when setting tires and fuel to be consumed in the online lounge. Affected cars: Toyota Prius G ’02, Toyota Prius G ’09, Toyota Prius G Touring Selection ’03, Toyota Prius Touring Car.
Fixed an issue where the online control characteristics differed from the offline characteristics.
