  •  I just (none / 0)

    beat record time set in the timetrial mode, and I was wondering what you times you guys are getting?  I don't live in the US so I am not in the running to win a real Mustang, but I sent in my time anyway.  :)  

    I got my time down to around the 1:47 mark, but I had a long way to go, so the best time must be much lower than that!

    Wheel setting has been modified with more I have gotten addicted to this game...

    Racing:  
    Saturation = 85
    Lineararity = 1
    FF = Effects off, Weight 20 and Strength 20.

    Drifting:
    Saturation = 75
    Lineararity = 1
    FF = Effects off, Weight 20 and Strength 20.

    I cracked the 7 million mark for Drifting, but I will wait to the real game before I work on it more.

    I have gotten so addicted to this damn game though!  I can't wait now!  Have to finish Dirt quick.  :)

    •  This may sound silly, (none / 0)

      but I would love to just watch you play.  I enjoy watching a good game played well.

      Good stuff, Hollow.

        time we meet up I will have to bring the steering wheel.  I don't buy any car games that won't support it anymore - it's just that fun to use!

        •  Cool, thanks! (none / 0)

          I bought a wheel for the original Xbox (CM3) and it was so crappy (securing the thing), I just went back to using my controller.  That was the last time I considered buying a car racing game.  

          As far as I am concerned, racing games HAVE to be played with a wheel.  To date, the only wheels I have liked are those that come with a seat in the arcade.  Yours is encouraging news. :)

          •  Yep, (none / 0)

            they are a whole different thing these days.  When the games are customised to take advantage of the feedback it really kicks serious arse.  Dirt is a prime example of this.  When you land jumps the wheel locks up, and when you are in the air the wheel becomes light.  Actually the drifting in grid is pretty good too, as it actually has feel once traction let's go.

            Next time we meet up I will bring the wheel for sure.

            The only things I would change on the MS wheel to make it more competitive would be a stick shifter, and real bearings for the main shaft.  Other than those two things I have no complaints with it at all.  That is really saying something for a MS product.

          •  Yeah, (none / 0)

            have to admit that the place they sit makes a fair bit of difference.  When ever I take it to work to play on the giant plasma we need to use it on our knees, and although it's not bad, it's still not perfect.  Locking them to a table is the way to go.
