Random HD Questions that don't need a thread of their own.

i've found there's pretty much no difference in BR ease with ships, but with some you might tend to think you can attempt a BR sooner/later because of it's shape.

sideshifts are awesome. you can stp them happening accidentally (or at least reduce this) by adjusting airbrake sensitivity (correct me if i'm wrong good pilots).

It also depends on how long you hold down the airbrake button after the second press. Hold it down a lot, and you will sideshift over a great distance (Generally half the track's width), just do a quick double tap and it will be a mini-sideshift.

are you kidding? why was i not told this before? darky you're a genius, my sideshifting will go to great new heights with this information!!

Indeed, this is a most valuable piece of information that demands further investigation. Could bring a whole new dimension to my racing. Or I could still suck at sideshifting - one of the two.


I have two related questions - forgive me if they've already been answered.
1.Does pitching forward over a speed pad give you a bigger boost? I read somewhere that it did but it's hard to tell.

2. Also, does pitching forward as you boost off the start line give you a bigger boost? I did that once by accident and I thought it was quicker than usual, but may have just been psychological.

Pitch down has no effect on speed now, except of course on slanted turns like Chengou's, where if you don't pitch down you obviously slow down.

The better your timing off the grid, the better the boost will be.

Cool, thanks.
