N2: Coach me?

6 posts by 4 people · 21 Mar 1998 - 22 Mar 1998

You know, every track I run I fall about 5-10mph under the record. It's obvious I am doing something consistently wrong, but I'm not sure what! If I save a replay of a few tracks, could I send them to someone and have this person take a good look? Ie do I have a volunteer? I will also need directions on how to send a file via e-mail. Thank you! Jp

I'll help you with talladega. send a reply on over of 2 or 3 good laps. Do you have a joystick, or a wheel/pedals?? I gained almost a second and a half by going to the wheel/pedals.. plus the game is so much more fun, and more competitive now. At 'dega, I have to run the AI at 116 % to have a good 500 mile race. I have raced about 6 or 7 full 500 milers like this, and my best finish is sixth.. Damn Jeff Gordon wins every time!

I could send you a replay of Talladega. Does anybody offer to check out C***te or Atlanta? C***te has been driving me NUTS and Atlanta is my newest addition. I've been using a Thrustmaster Grand Prix 1. I would like to add on a gas/brake console if I could ever find one sold separately, but I should mention that the GP1 works well! Jp

How the hell do you race these cats at 116%? I have them set at 99% and it's everything I can do to make a race out of it. When I left the AI set to 97% I could grab the pole pretty much every time. At 99% I haven't yet sat on the pole but, have sat on the outside of row one. Dave http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/4340

I have trouble keeping up at 100%. 116% sounds unreal. What set up do your run?

at 99% I lap the field within 20 laps... it gets boring really fast! I made my own setup.. When I used "ace" I would blow the engine halfway down the back stretch. I bumped up the gear ratios, but then the car would have so much momentum going into the turns I would go right up to the wall. I just played around with shocks, and tire pressure until it felt right. It is still tight in, loose middle, tight off.. but I can not fix it. If anyone wants a replay of a clean lap, let me know..
