little num Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ask littlenum, hes the ring king. Cheers adnan but i wouldnt go that far well if you have a playstation 2 then the only game to play is gt4 the track is so much like being there its like you are once you get into the game. Use the woodone supra and tweak it a little (power - weight) then you should be hoping to pull out a 7 min until your getting the hang of it, me and the lads + bignum had a ps night sunday and i managed to do a 6.05 in the woodone car, the others were doing 7's so aim for that. But you can follow us round for the first few laps if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm really enjoying it in GTR Evolution, it's supposed to be quite an accurate reproduction of the track too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm really enjoying it in GTR Evolution, it's supposed to be quite an accurate reproduction of the track too. The best conversion on a computer game is still Gran Tourismo by far ! I've played GTR2 versions of the NRing but IMO they are not very accurate at all. They have most of the corners going in the right directions but the dimensions, the elevations, cambers etc. are all wrong. Some extra corners have been added in order to get the track to join up, some have been altered for the same reason. Not played the GTR-Evolution versions yet, but if they are anything like the GTR2 versions then not great. I'm still waiting for Gran Tourismo 5 to come out !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Angarak Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Also have a read on the following "GTR 2 / Supra Mod" thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=112433&highlight=gtr2 You could be driving an SGT500 Supra around the ring on GTR2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ask littlenum, hes the ring king. How do you work that out, he's been twice and still never driven round it! Sorry James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 BTW I listed a few games in this 'Ring trip planning thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=173101 I'll add recommendations that crop up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a fair amount of hunting for 'accurate' depictions of the track before buying GTR Evo, struggled to find anything for or against its accuracy. I know the Forza 2 version is supposed to be bad, bought a PS2 just to play GT4 and never actually got around to buying the game or plugging it in! I think Gran Turismo 5 is due for December isn't it? It's a fair old wait.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I know the Forza 2 version is supposed to be bad... From plenty of experience of both, I think Forza2 is pretty dammed good actually! There is only 1 short section of straight where it's not quite right, the game seems to think it's longer than it is in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mb0b1 Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Forza 2 is a good one but I don't have a xbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I found GTR2 to be much better the GTR EVO as a game, I have never driven the NRing for real so couldnt comment on how realistic either are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gran Turismo 5 is due for December isn't it? It's a fair old wait.. From memory I think the Gran Tourismo version is the only version that was created from a lidar survey...ie. they drove a truck equiped with lazer point mapping technology around the track to get a true digital re-creation. Obviously they would not have the playstation memory or power to use the full detailed model in the game, so they would have had to trim it down when it comes to each and every bump in the road, but still, it results in an 'accurate' re-creation of the track for game purposes. Any other game version is most likely to be a 'best guess' from looking at videos and aerial imagery etc. Probably using the Gran Tourismo track as a guide. I actually use lidar survey models sometimes in my line of work, they can be HUGE file sizes, and the 20mm resolution models can pick up things like overhead electric cables etc. They are usually done by the use of helicopters these days.
