They really aren't. Apply more talent.

The Mercedes Academy challenge is impossible. I'm only on the second challenge (Nurbergring section 2) and I couldn't go any faster than 2:26 no matter how aggressive I take the corners. The challenges are one of the major problem I have with this game, they expect everyone to have a G25 (or DrivingForce Pro), these challenges are impossible on the controller. I can't even cheat in this one by enabling the skid recovery force as it's greyed out. It's so frustrating. I have no problem if they made the unlock requirement bronze, but no, they require fucking gold to unlock, they really need to fix this. In the previous GT, except for the licneses, everything is possible to win on the controller. They need to realise not everyone can afford a 900 degree wheel.
I tried for about an hour, my best time right now is 2:24.260. I'm about to throw my controller at my monitor, I'm not going to try it anymore. I'll wait till I can get a better wheel before trying. I can see I can possibly shave a few hundreds here and there if I have more precise steering control, but I simply can't do with a controller.
Except for the fact that when you do enable the force feedback, the wheel will fight with you as soon as you apply any amount of opposite lock.
310 is my record so far.
Turn down the downforce. The X2010 will easily hit the limiter with 0 downforce.
Yea, I mean they said they are releasing a patch in Feb, and it is Feb...
I know the game doesn't simulate the clutch very well, but I'm struggling to row through the gears smoothly.
The hard part is getting the clutch and accelerator timing right. In GT5 it is far to easy to fuck this up and end up in neutral, as is shifting when the tyres are spinning, which is almost a guaranteed neutral. I got so sick the crappy manual simulation in GT5 that I switched to the paddles.
They also don't have the best reputation with release dates.
And speaking of updates, they said they want one per month. January came and went without an update.
I think the exact quote was "early to mid Feburary" unless I missed something I don't think they specifically said Feburary 1st.
And I'm pretty sure the quote about updates is "we CAN release updates every month" not "we WILL update every month". Again I could be wrong on that too though.
Either way I would expect 1.06 to be out in the next week or 2.
