    Is anyone still having trouble with score updates, some will and some wont? Really started getting into zone mode now(nowhere near as good as you guys though) but put off by this update bug.

    Its like you say barney, some are updating some aren't.

    For example, I did zone108 on Syncopia yesterday afternoon around 2pm, then did a Zone90 on Pro an hour later.

    By 6pm the score on Pro had updated on the global records but the one on Syncopia hadn't.

    Not sure if its because Syncopia is more popular or what it is. It doesn't seem as bad as it was a few weeks ago though.

    Also congrats to Wotan for that effort on Syncopia.

    Yeah its definitely not as bad but still annoying . If they dont update soon the way previous ones have i'm not sure i'll be able to better certain ones. I think your right about the popularity thing too, tracks like modesto update straight away whilse the amp sometimes doesnt . Respect for your syncopia score i'm still struggling with mach 1

    Awesome! Some more perfect zones and you got me. Yeah 150 is possible, I
    had half shield on my 141 run but lost almost all on zone 140. But that's
    the way it always ends, it's an all or nothing situation, esp. on Syncopia.

    Fortunately, we now have some good competition going on the Pure4 tracks.
    I tell you, it was a bit boring on HD, but now a lot more people are interested
    in the ZONE experience.

    @XBARNSTERX:
    The leaderboard doesn't update again. kingheim already did a 102 on
    Mallavol, but the leaderboard is silent. Anyways, I hope you stick around.

    @sh1kamaru- & silverfoxy:
    You won't likely really notice it that much at Subsonic because the
    difference is very small. But from zone 75 onwards it becomes noticable,
    and from zone 100 onwards (on Anulpha Pass) it's clear to me. Anyways, I
    will try to prove my point somehow. I already got an I idea. As I wrote, I
    suppose that the general score counter counts a bit slower now, neglecting
    points from BRs, pads, PZs, and PLs. But the question is, is it really the
    score counter? Usually the counter seems to count at a constant rate when
    the craft isn't touching anything, but if one scratches along a wall then
    the counter slows down (as usual), it even gets to a stand-still when the
    craft does. I now suppose that there is a tiny dependency on the velocity
    of the craft even if the craft isn't touchning anything. Hence, either the
    counter counts slower by design or the craft's acceleration is a bit slower
    than before leading to a lower velocity at certain stages. I'm going to check
    this out. I will run up to zone 120 on AP, crash the craft and compare the
    top speed against some result screens I took on my first two 120 runs at AP
    (pre-Fury). They both showed a top-speed of 1810km/h and 1811km/h,
    respectively. So I think the top speed of zone 120 is 1800km/h (pre-Fury).

    WOW, congrats Kingheim. I thought Mallavol would be the hardest to reach zone 100, it was but I didn't expect it to be done so soon. Good work.

    ProblemSolver - what happens beyond Zone 100 on AP is not my territory !!
    When are we going to see you attacking Corridon and Mallavol anyway ???

    I managed to sneak into the 90s on Corridon as well today. All good fun.

    How you managed 140+ on Synco is madness, I've just hit 110 and happy with that. I did have a really good go going (perfect to zone 70) but it all went wrong between 80-90. Such is life........

    Just want to say a big WOW @ all the latest zone scores on the pure 4. Not looked at tables for a few weeks and to see zone 100 passed on corridon 12 and pro tozo, and 94 on mallaval (which I thought was easier than those 2) just boggles my mind.
    And 140 on Syncopia. Incredible!!

    Zone 83 on Sync yesterday, but only 46 perfect zones and no new score record... I'm the 192nd best in the world on Sync with my 77/51 run! lol
    Wow I suck at Pro Tozo and Mallavol. 51 and 50 respectively, I just can't get past it. The starting grid straight is so frikkin' narrow on M!
    Oh, and if any of those bastards who get to zone 2685 or whatever with 1 perfect zone on AP are reading this, I want to know how.

    Not anytime soon because with the advent of Fury my interest in Online Play
    and Speed Lap grows at a rate like never before. Due to my zoneage I'm only
    competitive (esp. when weapons are off) on those tracks where I hold a record
    in ZONE. And, I virtually never played any of the reverse tracks nor do I know
    all the shortcuts and BRs, which sucks when you wanna play online a lot. So
    instead of going for a high ZONE run on Mallavol and C12 I decided to give
    myself a serious go on Speed Lap, on a track which is new to everyone, to
    see if I can be as competitive as the high birds flying around. The track I've
    chosen is Tech De Ra. After some Speed Laps at TDR I was able to set a
    21:77, ranked 12, which wasn't even my best run when considering sectors.
    And if I'm able to pull two more BRs (can only do two atm since I'm not used
    to pull BRs quickly enough), which should be possible somehow, then I think
    I may perhaps come very very close to yeldar's 21:05, ranked 1, using my
    Feisar. I essentially miss the BR after start/finish and the one, one can do
    within the downhill section while jumping over the little crest. Since I'm
    off-topic now, I just wanna know whether it's possible to pull a BR while
    jumping over the apex of the last right-turn or not?

    In essence, I wanna become a complete WipEouter. Being good in ZONE is
    only one side of the coin. But ZONE will always be where my love goes ,
    and you can be assured that I will attack Mallavol and C12 hard. So crank
    up the zones as high as possible.

    yes you can do a BR on the last turn on TDR
    See here for BRs
    On my WR lap I did 1st, 2nd and 4th BRs, I can't do the 3rd one over the crest or the one at the end...

    I can't beat the FIRST zone battle challenge in stage 1 of the Fury Campaign in ELITE mode, not even close. Novice and Medium, no problem.

    What is wrong with me? Is it easy for y'all to do?

    billychanxtr33m... it's not the 106 part that gets me, it's the 72... epic
    In my 83/46 run, I spent, like 2 Supersonic perfect laps sitting on 1% energy... It was like my Moment of Zen, 45 zones after the actual... Zen... then I fell off the 2nd jump and lol And I don't even wanna THINK about ProblemSolver (I think it was) and Zone Fcking 141. JEEEEEEEEZ!

    BOOST-BR got a 51/49 on corridon-12. Did he crash on purpose or what
    Someones 2nd account maybe?

    I can barely score 51 zones on Sync. I ultrasuck!

    My two cents about the zone 2685 guy: it should take MONTHS of consecutive playing to get there. No way he used not some kind of dirty cheat.

    Anyway, i don't know if this is the right thread, but does lifting up the nose of the ship and using airbrakes help in high-speed cornering? Or it is just placebo effect?

    I think pitching up helps on corners where the track itself raises up. However once you get round the corner oversteering becomes a problem. Not really worth it IMO.

    Apparently that works in Pure and Pulse, never tried it though
    I've been meaning to ask this: On Sync, in what zone do you guys first scrape the wall? I usually have freak contact on zone 18 and not again until zone 46... I never understand why, since I'm able to get a perfect lap on 80

    On a good run i'll normally be perfect up until Mach 1... Supersonic sometimes. I can do perfect laps over zone 100 too, but i will definitely make a mistake somewhere down the line. Some of the other guys here will probably be perfect up to close to zone 100, i'm sure they'll tell you soon as i can't say for sure .
