Dual Shock pad and Gran Turismo - Neat discovery

Last night I was racing through a rather bumpy track in my tuned up
Viper and noticed that the car was bouncing a bit much and the revs
were spiking as the tires left the ground.  I was also getting jolts
from my dual shock as the car bounced.  After I tuned the suspension
to soften the shocks and dampers, the car bounced noticeably less, and
the number of jolts in the controller dropped off as well!  I think
its great they tied the suspension to the dual shock the way they did.

Which Gran Turismo version are you playing?  US or Japanese?  The way I'm
hearing things, I'm not sure whether or not GT is coming out today or
tomorrow.  If you have the US version where did you get it from?

Liz:  How thoughtful.  I didn't even know I was broken.

Dilbert:  No, no, not broken...  Just a bit buggy.

I noticed this when attempting the license tests. I'd stopped part way
through the tests and when I started A-4 there appeared to be no shocks.
When I hit a kerb or two I got a few shocks but not as much as I was
expecting. Thinking that the controller was bust I checked all the
connections and got back into the Civic I'm driving and yow! Jolts all
over the place, time to invest in better suspension! This game rocks!
