#GT LEGENDS FEATURES HOW TO#
It is much more a challenge to learn how to drive old beasts like the cars of GT Legends or Grand Prix Legends because you have to develop a mechanical appreciation of why the car does this or that. That is Motorsport the Playstation way in my opinion. The electronic then takes care of everything in relation with the gear change.

#GT LEGENDS FEATURES DRIVER#
Modern LMS Audis I know for a fact carry electronic aids designed to let the driver keep his foot planted on the gas. The feel you get through that helps you figure out what the car is doing. I do think you'd benefit a lot from a FFB wheel. If you had to let up and gas it again, there wouldn't be much benefit over an H shifter. I've always assumed that there's no point in letting off the gas, since the whole point is that they're so incredibly fast to shift, doing so in tenths of a second. I'm bad about abusing transmissions downshifting and it bites me every time in GTL. Shift slower, blip the gas and don't be too fast to downshift-when you only have 3-4 gears, you've got to more more careful than when you've got 6. Once committed to a turn, it's hard to correct if you didn't set it up right since you're throwing the weight around so much on the old suspension. GTL does a great job of modeling the physics of these older cars and their suspensions. I have to do one or the other for a while. It's hard for me to go from Shift to sims like this. Is this just a matter of realism catching up with me? Same for downshifts, do I need to apply some throttle?ģ) How do pitstops work? Haven't figured that out yet. I guess if I had a clutch and H Shifter it would feel more familiar than with the paddles. I think shifting without easing off the throttle are bad habits from "sim lights" but it still feels unnatural going off the pedal at every shift. I guess not having a FFB wheel makes it hard.Ģ) When shifting from First into Second I spin out.

No feeling at all on how much on the edge I am. In GTL I basically approach the corner, everything under control, then slow down to what I guess is "decent" and off I fly. But the Shift cars, starting to drift going sideways slightly, the sound, the visuals give a much clearer idea how fast I can go or can't. It's not a question of Shift having much more grip. In NFS Shift with some mods, I can not go faster trough the bends at Spa than in GTL. But I have a bit of trouble with some basics.ġ) The cars seem to horrible understeer, without warning. I'm starting to like that title, despite the slightly dated visuals.
