Just got a Kickstarter email saying they're hoping to get XB1 out by mid-November.
Also, Metacritic mention Spectator mode. I've not noticed this, where is it!? Also, can't see a photo mode 🤔

Yeah, that whoosh made me jump the first time!!
Not come across campaign problems as I've only just started it. I've been doing quick play mainly to get used to the game first.

What does that tell you about what you read in reviews ?Originally Posted by Concealed Sequence
Yeah. I'm spending most of my time trying to get a solid player base up and running, I'm happy to wait for the fixes to come, then I'll zap through the Campaign and open everything up, I'm in no hurry.
TBH, I'd recommend people spend their time getting REALLY good at the tracks they have opened already and do heaps of SL & TT, really get to know where to apply airbrakes, tweak F3000 craft etc, then move on to F2000.
On the quiet I've watched a few steams of people on the PS4 racing, ATBH as I'm watching I'm thinking what the Funk are you doing?
A DONK fest of the craft doing everything except staying in the middle of the track, and this is at F3000 speed OMG!....funny but disturbing at the same time.
TIP 101. Don't use Drift on the slower speed classes, you don't need it, it's for the fastest speed classes.
Once you get Voxel and Vixen craft, here are the best loadouts that are recommended.....used by the best pilots
ENGINE -OPEN
HANDLING- Handling from Airbrakes
BRAKING- Sharp Airbrakes
ANTI GRAVITY- Sunken
Voxel craft are best used when you intend to try to run ahead of the pack.
Vixen craft are best used for Combat and have better handling.
See this video of Angeyman in action, [ He's a well know record holder]....actually watch a lot of his videos to see how a real expert handles PACER.

Yeah, that's good advice and that's what I'm going to concentrate on. And yeah, I thought too that drift would be better for faster classes. Like you said, you don't need it for F3009 speed!

@Blackwiggle, that is some great news! I really want to remap the controller so that Square accelerates and X boosts.
Right now I'm stuck on the fourth Izulu race; can't figure out a way to finish higher than about seventh as this ship slips and slides all over the place. The game won't let you leave a team and try out for another once you've started, it seems.

Yeah, the problem when quitting a Tournament [doesn't seem to happen with all of them] is that you might find that you have to start the whole tournament from the beginning again.
Hopefully this situation will be sorted with updates when they are eventually show up.
Try one of the setup's I give in my previous post.

I should have been clearer; this isn't a tournament. It's the fourth part of the Izulu team challenge; it's a single race. I don't see any way to go back and join a different team. Originally I had my pick of three (Neutron, Dragon Star, and Izulu); I picked Izulu but I just can't drive their ship at all.

Update file has just been installed!👍

OK, I've just been on to DISCORD....strongly suggest anybody that has PACER start doing the same if you want to keep up to date with what's happening with the game, great from tips and tricks as well.
Here is the lowdown of what the first game patch does......Expect more patches to come relatively quickly to address other issues,they have to test that the fixes actually work first....No I don't known when.
QUOTE FROM R8 PATCH NOTES

I'm totally out of the loop on what Discord is... some kind of chat app? How do I get involved?
