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. Randy

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! Mick "what's a PC" Sheppard
