i think that would be a great idea, though i donāt know who would set it up; i quickly looked for it and it said something about their website so i dont rly feel like doing all that, but in any case @Fraggles should get the first option to set it up if he wants too
we could have it as like a separate competition to this one, where like u said u get one attempt per week, so ppl could put in their attempt at the end of the week, once they know the car and the track well enough
Weād all be very happy if you want to join in. I was considering the league system in game but as it requires codemasters accounts I figured itād be better left alone for the time being. The more requirements to joining into anything the more likely someone will just not bother and I want as many participants in this as I can gather.
I donāt know how the leagues work but if they are only for single attempts then they would clash a little with the base idea I had for this thing, that is for people to get into the game and have a reason to practice. It could be an interesting extra capstone event at the end of the week, after everyone have had their chance to improve as much as they want and then we do a league race at the end maybe.
@Vandem damn that is one hell of an amazing time, you try hard! : )
I think the help options should be left to the user to decide, most of them will slow you down I believe so itās a trade off youāll have to make yourself. But I should probably go look at them and see what my settings are at.
Iāve been trying the Renault out a little tonight and while I still have not managed to beat my own Mini time yet Iām starting to at least feel like it can be controlled. Yesterday I spent hours running around in the Mini but today after 2 completed runs in the Renault I am exhausted. Some how it feels like so much work keeping it on the road, it also feels so light and any bump in the road just sends it flying.
But I turned the automatic launch control off after seeing @m00 holding is handbreak at the start and shooting off. Not sure that it save too much time on this track since thereās a turn right away, but on a straighter launch I bet it might.
Iām trying to getting around to downloading it, but I have to do it at night because of data caps from my ISP. Iāll probably have time for it tonight and get a run in tomorrow.
You can login to codemasters with your steam account, so it should still be a low barrier to entry. I get where youāre coming from though.
If your intention is for people to start practising and get good at the game, then I agree that they shouldnāt dive straight into a 1-try only league. But it could be fun for the more experiences DiRT players among us? I like your idea of having it at the end of the week as well.
You can launch a tiny bit before the counting is over and not get penalized for it. Saves a few milliseconds.
Try loading the suspension / keeping the car stable by braking, even when youāre accelerating.
RWD cars take a bit of practice get good at for sure, but once you do start to get it, itās a lot of fun. Arguably itās more fun than driving AWD.
EDIT: I was messing with leagues on DIRT - The award winning off-road racing franchise and itās possible to allow stage retry!
I couldnāt wait and downloaded it during the day anyway, not a bad first run.
First of all sorry for the photo dont ask me why . So i switched to mini and to cockpit camera (one with wheel visible ) and hereās my latest attempt . 4:23.372 though i did two big mistakes and lost almost 20 seconds . Biggest challenge i face currently is handbraking in corners , im losing too much speed, almost stopping to a halt
Damn, youāre catching up. Still trying to wrestle the Renault into submission but I appear to have gotten ill and nothingās going my way at the moment. Wrecked out of my last two attempts, have not even managed to finish a race today. I will probably give it a rest for a day or two.
Aw no that sucks. Thatās pretty expensive though just for a few pixels, i assume your warranty has run out. Did u run the test for dead pixels and see which ones that they are not just stuck pixels.
Howād you manage that? Stone chip? Would you prefer a less gravely stage for next week?
Speaking of which. For you top runners and anyone else happy with their times already, feel free to go look at other stages and let me know where you want next week to be. I think weāll stick with 60ās cars for a little longer however, seeing as most of us have yet to really get to grips with those. It is my impression at least that later era cars are also harder to manage.
How about this track? Itās short, it doesnāt have many places for you to fall off, not many bumps, but you have to pay attention in corners for parked cars or the walls.
