Hi guys,

Have beend driving the XRR for a few km's now, but I can never get to grips with this piece of junk of a car! I've tried everything setup-wise - maximum toe-out on the rear, maximum rear downforce... but whenever I get anywhere to close to the car's limits, I spin round and round!! Even when I don't spin round and round, after 4 laps my tyres are good as shot.

Help me, so my experience with the XR GTR can be a great experience rather than one which was nothing but frustration!!! (And please, don't tell me to drive the FXO GTR. I hate that car a lot now.)

I love skinning this car, and I want to love driving it too! But it seems to have the air of a tsundere*... how can I get it to love me?

*tsundere = (ツンデレ, Tsundere?) is a Japanese term for a personality that is initially combative, but becomes loving and emotionally vulnerable. Tsundere is the antonym of yandere where a person is initially loving, then combative, often brutally so. The definition of the term has evolved to apply to not only characters who change from harsh to gentle but who are cold on the outside and kind internally. It is a character archetype in Japanese anime and manga. Tsundere is a combination of the two words tsuntsun (ツンツン, tsuntsun?), and deredere (デレデレ, deredere?). Tsuntsun is defined as "aloof, morose, pointed", and deredere is defined as "exhausted, lovestruck" Tsunderekko (ツンデレっ娘, Tsunderekko?) is a related noun, referring to a girl with a tsundere personality. While the term is most often applied to women, it is gender-neutral and can be applied to men as well. While tsunderekko are not exclusive to Japanese entertainment, the term tsundere came about as a result of the need to describe the many tsunderekko found in games and harem anime. Like nekomimi, tsundere is considered a moe-inspiring character trait.

There you go, Yuni

Hmm, you forget to upload the skin ?

Quote from MAGGOT :

HAHA, oh man that was great. I usually wound up hitting my own horn ball though; it'd bounce off them right into my path.

I sometimes used horn ball too, but at least I used it from a distance that would allow me to avoid it just incase...

Needs dirt and a bit of paint wear and tear.

So do like my skins? are they good enought?

basically you have cracked the game? or do you really have an s2 license? as good as those skins are cracking isn't welcome here!

Quote from banshee56 :

I'm sorry, but we are going to have to say no based on your controller.

It's not a problem, even if I'm a good driver a 14 year old is verrrrrrrrrrrrry out of place in a team with many "older" and more experienced drivers IMO anyway

(I might consider getting a wheel+pedals soon though, but I'm unsure on this)

Based on a car from GT4...

You my sir, just won at the internets.
>_>

Quote from Snotrocket :

I've been looking for the same thing, but I'm a bit older than you. More like a lot older actually.

I've got a server going and even put up a quick website http://www.xcellalliance.net if there any North American racers that want to get something going.

Count me in depending on start times.

Anything with slicks are very (impossible!?) hard for drift...
Stick with the XRT.

Ah, moar off-topic-ness.

I think the OP would probably mean changeable wheels though... sadly, the quite stupid nfsu series of games refer to wheels as rims... therefore I thought that different wheels could be nice (who gives a flying **** about rims )

High class car + boost.

Idolm@ster XR GTR. First public set of skins for the XR GTR by me. Uses the theme of the game "The Idolm@ster".

My skins really are that crappy?

If it has RWD, and it doesn't have downforce, drive it.
Or if you don't mind the massive amounts of grip + downforce, try the Formula XR/FOX.

Hi all,

I used to be a driver in the NTCC, but having to show up at 2:00 on Saturdays was so inconvenient for me as I was always busy during those times. I really am unable to "set a time" aside for leagues as I'm quite a young person (14 to be exact), and I have quite *****y parents regarding the whole "league" thing. I really do want to enjoy the higher standards of league racing, but I'm a kid who really can't set a time aside...

(And don't tell me to go play NFS, that is a piece of flying ****, and besides I enjoy simulation-oriented games more)

Are there any leagues that generally :
- Start at any time past 4:30 PM (GMT -5) OR before noon?
- Allow and welcome inexperienced drivers?
- Use either restricted "big" GTRs + little GTRs OR the TBO cars?
- Are not longer than an hour for the actual race?

Ah, a flamefest.


Anyway, if the choice can be "tasteful" then obviously +1 even if I won't use it, but IMO it should apply to racing modified models only (XRR, FZR, etc)

Idolm@ster XR GTR. First public set of skins for the XR GTR by me. Uses the theme of the game "The Idolm@ster".

Use but don't claim as your own work, or prepare for a major wrecking!
Survivors will be wrecked again!

I'm dropping out as well, the times are verrrrrrrrrrry inconvenient (I'm an American and all and I think >21:00 GMT or 17:00< is good time for me to race) and life tends to get in the way from 17:00 to 19:00.

All that stretching makes me want to weep.
(Should be shrunk horizonally quite a bit)

Hi,

I've been racing the open wheeled cars quite a lot. While certainly the behavior of all the open-wheelers feel believeable, I think the collisions (moreso with wheel-to-wheel impacts) are waaaaaaaaaaay too forgiving... I mean, when you see open wheelers race and their tyres touch that of another car, they lose control... and bashing into the wall with the side of a car that's open wheeled should practically end your race- as the vast majority of open-wheeled race cars probably don't have suspension _that_ durable.

The tintops are problemless with the exception of a few well-known problems that apply to all cars, though...?

Quote from Sponge :

Scavier Solutions - ScaViEr > Scawen Victor Eric. Race car manufacturer? Like Lola e.o? Or IT-company?

On the default interior files for the Formula XR, if you look closely to the left you can find the logo.

I'm sure they are a manufacturer of race cars because of this.

Quote from Dalek0220 :

Here are my skins that i will be using, as i do want the FXO from South City onwards.

You never read the rules do you ?

I _hate_ typing large fonts, but I have to, so you can read this (in bold) :
You cannot change the car at any point of the season

Anyway, here's my NTCC skin , maybe a girl with big chest on the sides of the car can offend someone but she's not nude at least ^^

(The skin is already uploaded at LFSW, but just in case...)

What's up with the no talking rule?
I can understand this during the race, but BEFORE any session begins?

Hi,

Sometimes when I stop by the general league forums, IE6 crashes.
Is it me?

some progress...
any comments?
