    Does anyone have tips for nailing the starting line boost? I've tried counting down with the numbers, watching the red bar cross the numbers until "Go," listening to the beat of the countdown... nothing works. I may have successfully boost-started five times in the last five months!

    I've seen methods where people will cycle through the ship viewpoints to time the countdown. I've also tried closing my eyes in order to listen and time the launch better. Nothing is working. This is the only technique I have not mastered. HAALP ME!

    I get it practically every time. I guess it just comes with practise; but anyway: press the accelerator about 0.28 of a second after the "go". There's another 0.22 or so of leeway after that which is easier to get in - which is obviously going to be a touch slower, but that's probably rather unimportant when you just want any kind of boost you can get .

    I haven't timed it, just going on feeling. See how that goes.

    From my experience i can tell that you have around 1sec after "GO" to press thrust button to make speed boost start, so there shouldn't be any problem with that. I suppose that you just press it too fast and it doesn't count
    Just take it easy, relax and press the button

    EDIT: Oh, and i've noticed that the faster i press it after GO, the stronger is my boost start

    I've wondered a bit about that myself, it almost seems like the boost is stronger, but I just passed it off as being due to the fact that I got moving earlier. Anyone else have an opinion on that?

    It's a good question. I've noticed being slower off the line than many other people on the grid, but I'd always put it down to a combination of ship selection and a bit of lag.

    Ive noticed that i press the button exactly on the third, poss fourth beep (i should know by now!) and usualy get it.Also recently i have convinced myself that pitching down on boost start gives me a better boost, but that could be bs and just me kidding myself.A question myself.Are we talking about hd/fury here as people are saying when it says go and on mine i get three (or is it four) peeps ?

    Talking Yyyyyyyyyyyyyooooooooooooooooooo

    Had time to play last night, and you guys were right. I was hitting accelerate too early. The sweet spot is just after the red bar fills and it says, "Go." I played a long Racebox tournament and got it 70% of the time. Felt like Christmas.

    Good stuff mate. I've started paying more attention to exactly when I hit X, and I think there may be something to it with regards to how much boost you get. I've been starting ever so slightly earlier than before and I don't seem to be losing ground on people like I was.

    So cheers for bringing this up Archon

    I also have the feeling of I lose ground at the start with other racers with the same ship even when I get a boost start. I will do some trials these days.

    Think this is the place to put this.... Has there been any news on the times being updated on the leaderboards? I know pretty much everyone is wanting to see their times go up on there so, well... just wondered.

    In Zone Battle, sometimes the announcer says "Target depleted" or "Target repeated" or something along those lines. What does this mean? I know there's a message for "Target attainable," but I've heard her say both messages in one race.

    Also, when I start getting those messages, it seems the track is always the black and red color scheme. Is this just the scheme for reaching zone 50-55 in Zone Battle, or does this color scheme indicate that you're in range for the winning zone amount?

    I think it's related to the situation of the 1st place holder.

    If they suddenly loose all their shield energy, explode and respawn, then the current target would of changed as your position relative to whoever is now in 1st place is calculated.
    Red & Black is the colours for those zone levels.

    Actually it's a lot simpler than that. You have a set amount of time to reach the target zone. This time limit varies depending on how high the target is, obviously the higher the target, the more time you are alllowed. Once the time limit has expired, the game gradually brings down the target one zone at a time, every few seconds.

    No doubt Jan will be able to tell you the time limits for each target

    As for the colour scheme, it's probably just a fluke. The colours change every time you boost, and they cycle through the normal Zone colour schemes, starting at sub-venom and ending at Supersonic, then back to sub-venom etc.

    Has anyone had any problems with voice chat? I know Playstation Network voice chat is always a pain, but I can't recall one time that I got a reply by using voice chat with Wipeout HD. I've tried both a Playstation Eye and a Bluetooth headset, and under both circumstances, I couldn't talk to the friend I was playing with.

    I know NAT type can sometimes cause problems, but I'm not familiar with networking and how to influence this. Most of the time it's at 2, I believe, and once or twice I've seen it at type 3. Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: My school's finicky network caused me to post the message twice, and I don't see how to delete my message when I click Edit/Delete.
