First...

Naturally aspirated engine has *one* meaning it means an engine without forced induction.

You can make up your own definition about what you think it should define, but other than being wrong it won't get you any where.

I think Xaosman means tuning the normally available engine in the car to a level that engine (family) has in another car. So a sort of restricted engine-swap. But this has nothing to do with a NA or naturally aspirated engine.


Secondly i really liked and like the options we have to adjust the cars in GT5. I am keeping my game on 2.11 with two accounts filled with cars. And will get an other region gt5 disc to update to 2.12 and play online with the normal available cars. The problem with the modding is that it is perfectly acceptable in your offline game, and when used among friends in rooms were everybody is just around to have fun.
It gets different on any online organized event. As you can't be sure everybody is playing fair.

For pd it would require to much time and therefore money to monitor all misbehavior they either could block all modding, or do nothing at all. This is looking like their first attempt to block all modifications.
They are not blocking all options yet, but i think in time they will. They only need an account here and check the latest topics that scream into stardom.

If they are very nice to us, they will have the blocking of mods check if you are online or not. And by remaining offline they could set free all parts. But i am not sure they are that nice to us.

So i think the modding was great for as long as it lasted. And people now can choose to either go online and play by the rules, or go offline with 2.11 and enjoy all the new tools they got for this long running game.

:y:

ya or PD could just give us the things we are modding into gt5 just to make it fair so everyone can have it like make it a DLC or something

Even if they would want to make modding an in game option they have to block power multipliers and sticky tire options.
For the online racing series.
So yes this could be a transition to an in game tuning set. But i wouldn't get my hopes up.

It was a better game with modding. It showed that the PP system seemed flawed because many cars cannot be tuned to their full potential. With modding, they could. I didn't care to have massive horsepower, just better (and more, competitive 505-550 cars).

They had to protect their DLC. I get that, but the way they did it punished everyone and that was ill advised.

Is complicated to say.. im a huge fan of GT series (thats the reason why i have a ps3), if you think like a real tuner, you wants the pieces that really fit.. an example i swap chassis and engine from superautobacs mr-s into a normal mr-s, with the suspension from FTO superturing car, the car looks low and aggressive, and the engine delivers 350bhp. nothing of crazy shit. i discover this mod passion too late i guess, thats why i return to 2.11. i enjoy modding my cars than online racing. with the secret menu i can create very nice races, highly competitive.

looks like the acura nsx wasnt affectes

It was a good thing. We showed to those pigs on PD that GT5 was such a poor and incomplete game without enough customization options...

And I'm not updating the game... ever... Online is dead for me, I'll keep hybriding until I toss the game...

waiting on my PAL disk, already created my Euro account. I have seen a few post reporting it works well. looking forward to keep my hybrids, best thing that happened in GT5, and still race with my friends online at Dead Nuts Even Racing.

I also think why they not mark the Hybrids? So that they not can`t run on the timetrails also by raceroom the user can say with or without hybrids. This will give the game more "Life" and still the "normal drivers" safty against cheaters and 1000000Hp Bumpers in racerooms.
I hate also silly things like driving colour or wheel sample or cart`s with 5000HP in normal racing rooms ;-((
Ok guys which want to play this things make a own room and do it their.
But it worked not in the past when you looked at the old time trail events you will see what the crazy chickens make online ;-((
It`s the same thing as is real life: You can tell little children 10000 times not to touch a hot ofenplate when will they learn not to do it?? After the fingers a hurt.
So what do PD? The still closed the ofen that nobody will be hurt;-(
