haydn has that setup on pulse, i tryed it but i kept going back to normal mid race so i had to change it back
jeeze, some people don't even USE side-shifts? They're about the only thing that keep me away from the wall half the time... I would be dead without them in HD :/
That being said, I used R1/L1 because I didn't want to wear out my R2/L2 triggers... but I don't even use a PS3 controller anymore; I use a PS1 Dualshock so that every button is digital, regardless of what the options menu says...
The D-Pad on a PS2/PS3 controller has too much play, so doing BRs is difficult unless I'm using the PS1 pad
i didnt know you could plug in the old-school pads
@Reach: How and when did you decide to put your controls like that?
It makes sense but it's still a bit of a weird setup... ;)
I will try it tomorrow :g
you can use any pad you want to if you got adaptor plug..i think their about 10 euros ps2 to ps3 coverter is their name i think.:nod
I had one...for further reference, about 10 dollars, USD.
@Reach
Awesome! Same set-up i used for pulse nearly. Might have to give it a try :)
I used for pulse -
L - fire
R - thrust
Sqare - L Airbrake
Triangle - R Airbrake
X - Absorb
O - Look back
Never really experimented properly with a similar set-up on HD, i guess seeing as the ps3 obviously has more shoulder buttons i felt obliged to make full use of them.
@Saturn
Wow, Im truely amazed you dont use sideshifts very often. :eek So many corners can be completely negated with a humble shift. Thinking about it, on VK Rev i shift on pretty much every corner.
I do them more than I realise. It's not like I don't use them. I'm trying out the old WO games and it's obvious I use them subconsciously when they're not available and I'm trying to do them anyway. But I've just never really been good at them and rarely got the desired result. After a lot of TT on a track I get the hang of them a bit more, but I'm sure others use them a lot more and are way better at them than I. I tend to always do them and then steer too much at the same time. I'd prefer to not use them at all and slide the ship around more in a bit of an old-skool way, even though I'm not an old-skool player.
Last night I set airbrakes to 100%. It was horrible. Then I was going to start to turn them down a bit at a time, figuring I'd probably stop at around 30% anyway. But I think they're on 80% now. I might not even have gone down past 90%. It does feel to offer more subtlety in the control, particularly for SS, than the lower settings, even though I'm using L1/R1. So maybe now I can start using SS better. I wish I'd experimented more earlier now.
Deary me Sat, you just can't get anything right can you? :P
From your vids it looks like you SS quite a lot, just as much as (if not more than) me, if that's anything to go by. Only difference is that you use them in different places/situations.
I agree with you about not using them at all though, feels much more smooth and controlled if you don't SS around a corner. Actually it's more like holding the brake as opposed to tapping it. One example I can think of is the second long lefty on sol2 R: feels really nice to just hold l-airbrake with a bit of nose down but I'm pretty sure it's slower than the whole tap-tap-sideshift-tappy thing.
Defs gonna try Reach's funky setup tonight :)
30% = win :g
