well yeah there are definately some choice locations for using an AP. maybe i should try to make a list...somehow...
example situation: AP misses the speedpad after the last corner on metropia forward, so is it still faster?
i wish AP just hit all the speedpads (and dodged mines), it would make life so much easier :P
also on Aanulpha Pass in the chicane after the narrow section in the middle, the ap hits all three speedpads (out of four but i cant think of a viable way to do them all) and on speeds below phantom i like to use the ap on the last right left combination on moa therma, (hits both speedpads with a nice exitspeed)
you can't hit all of those, the most you can get it 3, AP or not.
methinks tis faster to do a barrel roll there instead (moa therma). yes/no?
yes thats what i do on phantom but on rapier or below i can never get enough lift without a turbo :P
sideshift is your friend ;) once you get it nailed you can even do it in venom
yes... sideshifting... lol xD
ive never sideshifted volentaerely in my life any pointers on how train for it?
i know sideshifting is the key to race against the best on phantom but im totally clueless :S
tap the brake twice ;)
umm...just force yourself to do it as much as possible (even on straight bits) and eventually you'll get how/when to use it :)
ok thnx for the help, appreciate it. i guess my piloting is temporarily going down the drain but if it means that i will finally be able to sideshift i guess its worth it.
:nod
as for random question about something completely different.
am i the only pilot that finds sol2 reverse to be easier than forward?
no you aren't the only one. i also tend to do much better on reverse, maybe because other people find it harder, i dunno...
It`s interesting you mention sideshifting for the BR on Moa. Does anyone think sideshifting causes the ship to gain height on turns, compared to normal braking, or is it just that with sideshift you can go faster so the ship naturally flies higher? In Pure I didn`t notice sideshift having this effect, but I wondered about it since Pulse, where sideshift seemed to cause some very mad air time, such as last corner of Platinum Rush white. But I wonder if it`s the sideshift actually causing the lift to happen.
In multiplayer do you see the other racers BR as we did in Pure(but not in Pulse)?
@lunar: well i've actually gotten into the habit of sideshifting right in order to catch the speedpad. i reckon it's faster to ss left as you hit the pad but i haven't really tried that much. it's true what you say about getting air with ss's, quite handy for getting BR's if you've messed up your line a little :)
@zargz: no i believe you dont, you just see the other ships zooming away into the distance when they do BR :P
Apparently, the answer is no, but I definitely do better on Sol 2 F.Quote:

now if only you could do it with shields (by which i mean cancel an active shield)
i had a sudden rush off relief the first time i discovered that the AP could be turned off,before that i always saw the AP as a liability. but when your able to use the AP on just that one or two corners where its faster, it can be really useful. ( most of the time i get it i use it for 3 secs or less if i dont absorb it for shield)
very true. one of my faves is on chenghou for the hairpin. BR --> activate AP for the hairpin--> deactivate in mid-air after the ledge --> BR -->:g
Dang, I never knew... :paperbag
I also mostly considered AP a liabillity and only used on particular tracks and corners where I know it won't get me into trouble for 4 seconds.
Thanks!
after the first mag strip on metropia forward it's quicker to use AP than any line that I have managed to take
only one magstrip on metropia forward :)
but yeah it will seem faster because AP give you a slight speed boost as well as not really slowing down for corners. BUT in this case you can beat it by doing a BR onto the speedpad (left-hander before the mini straight). you can also get a BR coming off the magstrip ;)
if you meant moa therma then yes it takes a good line through there but it is beatable (by way of the shortcut+BR). bit of a pain to pull off every time though so i'll agree with you on this one :P
hopefully my ramblings made sense ;)
yes I meant moa therma
I also locked my keys in my car today.. it's been one of those
How about the starting order in multiplayer - is it still random after the first race?
If it's a tournament, then no. If it's another single race, then yes.
although you will find that sometimes the system gets stuck so the same people will be up front all the time.
nothing's perfect i guess :lol
You know what i do. Keep a spare key in your wallet in the coin pocket or slide it behind your drivers license slot. So if you lock your keys in in can still get back into the car.Quote:

my car is a convertible
so saying I locked my keys in it, means I locked them in the boot (trunk for you americans) which can only be opened with a key.
and my wallet is just a small metal thing the right size for cards. so I can't fit a key in there.
So I locked my keys in the car.. I called a friend to take me to where I'm staying to get my spare, but half way there realise that the house key is also in the boot of my car, and there is no spare outside the house.
We had to break into the house to get my spare car key so I could get back to the house.

ooh man Lion, thats some story. im not going to ask how you managed that, simply cause ive been there and defo done that. :beer but my only point was really this:
i can relate, and hope everything is turning out ok for you
those mountains are likely the ones in the south island. I'm in the north island :)Quote:

I've driven a Targa Supercharged MR2 across the south island once (after traveling north to buy the car).
It was so awesome. 8)

Who's the man that gave me neg rep for my post on the last page. Comment said '****ing cracker' still it was highlighted red:| WTF
Maybe a new "bling brigade" member :rolleyes:
Should i look at the Blinge Brigade thread to find my answer?
Don't know mate, just a way of saying that some people aren't very courteous even in this great site !
