False. Whoever he is he's a funny guy

Top speeds are as follow (For the old ships, haven't done the new ones):

===================================
To: FX-350 Racing Committee
Sender: Synchro Logistics Supervision Bureau
Object: Ship Top-Speed Analysis
Date: February 24th 2206
===================================

Following the thrust analysis test results, here are the top speeds observed for every craft.

1. Icaras - Top Speed 10: 792 km/h
   Piranha - Top Speed 10: 792 km/h
2. Auricom - Top Speed 9: 789 km/h
   Triakis - Top Speed 9: 789 km/h
3. Assegai - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
   EG-X - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
   Harimau - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
   Mirage - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
   Qirex - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
4. AG-Systems - Top Speed 7: 784 km/h
   Feisar - Top Speed 7: 784 km/h
   Goteki45 - Top Speed 7: 784 km/h

These tests were also performed on a flat surface, and the results were obtained once the ship had reached it's visible top speed displayed on the speedometer integrated in the ship's heads up display.

From these results, it appears that the top speed is a fixed value depending on the characteristic of the craft.

We are also happy to report that no more shall the steering apparatuses of the ships break down as quickly as before, due to the fact that pilots do not need to lower the nose of the ship constantly, since during our tests we have noted that such a technique no longer has an effect on the reachable speed of the craft by its own means of propulsion.

Study or cornering and armour durability are required to fully assess craft performance.

I was told by an extremly good high rankingonline player (good as in he is ridicolously fast and wins most games) that your ships maximum top speed is determined by your online rank with regards to online racing only and the higher your online rank the faster you go.basically a handicap system that favours the skilled player.
does anyone know anything about this

False - I'm pretty sure he was just having a giggle cos it ain't true

Question of my own here (regarding playlists): Is there a way to put pre-selected playlists on one's PS3? As in, I have loads of music that i want to put on my PS3 but I want to make lots of different playlists. I could do this quite easily but it would take about 100000 years to sort through the music (because obviously the songs wouldn't be in the right order to be selected).
Is there an easier way? eg: is it possible to arrange stuff into playlists before putting it on the PS3 therefore making it easier to choose songs for each playlist?
i know it was a bit long-winded but i wasn't sure whether i was getting my point accross

[stinkleroy]

Don't think so Yeld. You can sort your music by import date which I suppose is the next best thing, then just select the tracks you must recently imported for your playlist

[XBARNSTERX]

Anyone know where i can find a fury theme for my ps3?

[yeldar2097]

Don't think so Yeld. You can sort your music by import date which I suppose is the next best thing, then just select the tracks you must recently imported for your playlist

you sure about that? i can only sort by album, artist, genre, track, and release year.

I even tried changing the release year on itunes (cos i don't really care about that bit ) and it didn't work.... -_-

back to the drawing board

[okam]

You can make your own playlists on the PS3 (music - playlist - create new).

I usually just create a custom genre in iTunes though, and sort by genre on the PS3. Ofcourse you can use a standalone mp3-tagger if you prefer.

Doesn't really mess up the iTunes library since I usually sort my artist/album anyway, and most of my game music are singles or compilations that don't really belong anywhere else anyway.

[stinkleroy]

Yeah I'm sure Yeld, you must be looking at the 'group content' option...above that there's a 'sort by' menu where you can sort by import date, I know because that's what I did for my playlists

[yeldar2097]

...i don't have a sort by option
i shall take a piccie as proof my ps3 clearly doesn't want to make life easy for me.
i shall give it a slap and see what happens

[okam]

It's the square button on your controller.

Don't press anything, just navigate to the "music" section where it lists all your music files. You have to keep pressing the square button to flip through the different sorting methods (current method will be showing on your screen).

[yeldar2097]

Pressing square:

x0 --> All
x1 -->By album
x2 --> by artist
x3 --> by genre
x4 --> by track
x5 --> by release year
x6 --> all

-_-

thanks for all the suggestions so far i guess i'll have to keep looking
silly PS3

[Vartazian]

Completley false, What a load of rubbish, Maybe he would just say that so that you would work harder at getting a higher rank

[CJS]

For anyone with Pure and HD:
The box that Pure comes in, on the inside, where the UMD goes, there's a logo that is really similar to the FX-350 logo... I think I have the European box art, 'cause South Africa is usually linked to Eu Anyone noticed it?
PS. In Pure, win the Gamma tournament on Rapier class then go to Progress and select the medal, you get a BLING FX300 LOGO! w00t

[stinkleroy]

Yeld, you need to press the triangle button on any of your stored PS3 songs to bring up the menu...pic attached

[yeldar2097]

thanks a lot stinkleroy, i was just being a tit...
still had to select each individual song for the playlist though....
down --> 'X' over 1500 times. not the most interesting thing i've ever done

moving on...
can one of the clever people tell me how this lag works:
- i started a race 8.4 secs behind - fair enough, lots of lag
- next checkpoint i was 4.3 secs ahead
- next checkpoint i was 6.4 secs behind
- etc..... much like a yoyo
- i eventually won by 20 seconds

[GreenPhazon]

Can anyone else not invalidate their speed laps anymore? I've been ignoring the problem hoping it was just a minor thing but it means I have to get the boost starts the old way

[Aeroracer]

cant say i have..

for me its holdL1 for 3 seconds..

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeah, you need to hold the button down this time, makes it much more difficult for people to do the BSB technique.

[GreenPhazon]

Oh right, I thought it was just a tap like when it was SELECT.

I'll try it out later.

Is the Arcade Perfect Progress stat borked?

Recently I turned my attention to getting the Arcade Perfect trophy.

Having spent so little time on the reverse versions of the tracks I figured I should spend some time with them on Rapier class to learn the tracks before going Phantom.

So I loaded up Vineta K on Elite Rapier and won.
For whatever reason, I went back to the stats screen and under the Arcade Perfect Progress stat it now showed Vineta K reverse as red/attained/a win.... however you want to say it.

What gives? I know I only raced it on Rapier, not Phantom... I know I never won prior to this on Phantom... I know that stat wasn't there just prior to racing...
Did they change the requirements for the trophy or is the stat screen borked?

[CJS]

Dunno, but i'm gonna do rapier elite from now on, just to not be sure!
What is being said in Le Night Dominator? I can't hear the words!! It's driving me crazy... sorry...
