NFS: PU - I cant beat the 911 turbo series in the golden era

I was flying through the ranks before, but in this 911 turbo i cant finish better than last! I keep spinning out. Any advice?

I had the same problem. I just had to learn to baby the car more and realize that you can not just power into the turns as much as you could with the other cars. This one has too much power and it will spin on you. tampa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8c36j1$19o$[email hidden]... > I was flying through the ranks before, but in this 911 turbo i cant finish > better than last!

Maybe it's just me, but so far I really dislike the Golden era 911s. Once I move into the modern 911s, everything is fine, but there is not one Golden 911 that I can dominate in. -Pav tampa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8c36j1$19o$[email hidden]... > I was flying through the ranks before, but in this 911 turbo i cant finish > better than last!

By playing with car setups you should be able to get the car competitive! Pete "John Pavlicek" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8c39fu$93k$[email hidden]... > Maybe it's just me, but so far I really dislike the Golden era 911s. OnceI

Changing setups is only possible with the pure race cars, the only way to improve the car's handling is buying the upgrades. The main problem with the 911 turbo seems to be that it reacts totally different than the 944 you drive before. As soon as you get used to it, you'll also beat the AI. CU Zolli

I can change the set-up's on my 911's ... do it all the time. This is in evolution. I usually lower the car and significantly stiffen it. Add some downforce on the rear of most 911's to try to get them to stick a little better, esp. on the tighter courses. PMK

Maye, Zolli hasn't checked out all of the menus yet! :-) You can also play with the tire pressures as well, by the time you have finished the car can be made fairly neutral.

Any advice? That was the hardest part of the evolution for me too... The 930 is a beast. I solved it by buying every upgrade for it, including the stiffer sway bars, full race suspension and springs, and playing with the setup a bit. By far the hardest car to drive....brake in a straight line ;-) G. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

You can switch the menus to English in the registry. Search for "need", you'll find an entry for the language. At last no more "Todeszone" nonsense... -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved.

The transmission setup only works for the race cars, everything else can be setup for all the cars. -Pav Zolli <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8c8pfj$j5n$[email hidden]...

Actually, the english says the same thing; it is just wrong. As another poster pointed out, only gear ratio's cannot be changed. Some of the changes make sense from a car customization point of view (stiffening suspension is not that big of a deal); others are questionable (pretty extensive mods to modify downforce in a 356...)

I'll have to try that. My copy for some reason decided to install with swedish menus. Maybe because I have a norwegian version of windows?

I had the same problems until I changed the setup of the car. Try Downforce 60 Rear, 50 Front and Tirepressure 35 Rear, 25 (or 30) Front. This changed the car from a nightmare to a dream for me :) P�l K Holmberg
