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

Anyone else noticed that the "stands" on the right hand side (fwd) of the sloping long left hander on Chenghou Project can be flown on? I found this out accidentally the other day by ramming literally through the wall onto the stands, which took me round the corner rather nicely I have to say

Yes, the panels can be flown on, but the transition from "stands" to over the wall is horribly awkward and slow, to the point where you should just stick to the track for minimal heartbreak.

I preffer keeping my nose down to stay close to track and gain priceless seconds over my opponents, especially on wep off/phantom race

[trackripper]

It is rather hard to press both up and left on your d-pad simultaneously though...

[Whizawk]

It's a lot easier with analog sticks. Mind you I ride that turn through and if I can get enough air on one of the leaps I squeese in a quick BR to finish the turn. I think it's called 'Fishbowl' turn right? (Notice the consistent leaps of the ships compared to fish around the turn)

[zero3growlithe]

Use motion sensor for sterring or pitching and you're free to use d-pad/analog stick to stick to the track (jup, me again with this )

[trackripper]

The motion sensor is nowhere near as effective as the up down buttons... even if you set it to 20% For me its just a matter of alternation pressing
Also, what determines how much you sideshift? The distance seems to be rather random, and significantly bigger at slower speeds?

You probably wouldn't like Pulse (and Pure, to a certain extent) then!
You have to pitch the nose down pretty much all the time (except for on magstrips) to compete, including while steering, and even during some BRs.

Has anyone noticed times being set in the wrong race teams?

Actually, I've had absolutely no problem at all with Pure (144 golds, no DLC), just pitching down or up for some jumps and straight sections, where its so much more necessary in HD IMO...

You forgot the "to compete" part on MSSA's post !
He means pitch is necessary to set top times on pulse/pure, not for wins against AI !
