sorry i was really stressed out last night.
i live with my sister and she was asleep so i couldnt shout, so i had to let it out somewhere

ill keep trying

i hate this f*****g game, i cant even complete a bloody lap now without spinning these stupid cars that feel like their on ice. so fed up with it. if it carries on liek this im just gonna delete the bloody thing and sell my wheel

can i try your set Android?

you are a legend tristan, thanks for all that advice.

i know what you mean about T6, i always go through it thinking i coul dhave been faster, and the last turn sometimes it nicely kicks you into it, others not so nice.

ill keep practicing though based on that advice and perhaps come back on here with some more replays in a week or so and see what else could possibly done.

many thanks

i only do hotlap for replay purposes, even if i touch the ground ill carry on, not bothered about whether its valid or not

wow that sessions pissed me off, got a few 1:11s had ALOT of crashes.....but i did get a 1:10. lap 1 of attached, the other laps on there are useless.

my problem is consistency atm.

My major problem atm is T1, on the exit i spin so many times, and if i hold back i feel im losing time, its doing my head in. Also after the long straight, i have been in 4th going round that turn and the chicane, should i be in 5th, i tried it once and it seemed a little quicker, although in 4th it feels i have more control of the car

ok let me go run a few laps, gimme 5-10 mins

sorry for the wrong link, i keep getting the FXO and FOX mixed up....oooops

glad this thread helped Vilante.

Im now consistently getting 1:11s which is great (still with a few spins)
but im enjoying it alot more, still punching stuff when i crash, but im like that in everygame, not good really how games make me so angry :|

Thats the direct link to it, but you can access them for all cars/tracks on LFSW.

wow really appreciate all the input guys, best gaming community i have come accross.

i had a quick go before work this morning, and really noticed a difference with that set that Vendetta gave me, it felt like it stuck to the road more, and i got a new PB, low 1:11 i think it was, although its not consistent. It feels at the moment that there is a bit too much understeer but ill have a play with it all.

thanks for the info on all the turns tristan thats really helpful, and again ill try your set out and see how it goes, just about to go on and have some fun

cant say it enough, thanks for all the help

EDIT: just got 3 new PB's in 3 laps in a row, ended up with a 1:10 something, well chuffed, just had to quit so as i seemed incapable of completing a lap without spinning, so punched the monitor and quit

thanks for the help guys, ok ill test that set out, appreciate that. Also ill have a look into learning how to setup a car myself, its just one thing ive never been good at in driving games, im sur ei can find a guide though.

about finishing braking earlier, surely if i do that ill carry more speed into the corner?

hello, had S2 about a month now, and love it, but am getting closer and closer to just jacking it in because im not enjoying it anymore because i feel like im not getting better anymore, if anything im getting worse.

here is a replay from me on blackwood, its just me driving about, my PB is high 1:11 something, but it would be pointless showing you perfect laps from me, as i hardly ever do them.

the problem i have is that on certain corners i feel like the car slides WAY too much, i hold off the throttle but its annoying that everyone else can go round these corners about 10mph faster.

i know my lines are in consistent but thats because the car is all over the place the whole time, can anyone offer some pointers.

i have only just started using manual gears as well btw.
I know people will say "just practice" but im finding myself getting more and more annoyed as i lose the backend on the same bloody corners everytime (the worse being the one you see at the end of the reply, 2 out of 10 times ill spin there)

thanks in advance

EDIT: also, i just watched the WR replay, and it really annoyed me, his car sticks to the track i swear, he goes round the corners flying and he doesnt slide at all, i really dont understand

provantage.com
I was going to buy from them, but instead i got it from circuit city for 110. They (provantage) have a good resellerratings.com rating and are pretty cheap, i recomend the DFP.

note: i don't know if i'm allowed to mention names, i'll take it off if an admin wants.

he is from England mate!!!

try Overclockers UK, very quick and reliable, where i got my momo

Quote from tristancliffe :

You think? Oh, how annoying, cos I went to a track to photograph the all red kerbs for Aston... Now you tell me I could have spent 20 seconds copying and pasting...

Do you really think I hadn't thought of that?

lol, love it

Quote from abz1 :

This just makes it a whole lot easier when your starting the game for a "kid", or maybe even a first time racer.

1. If the car is set to automatic gear change, we should have it so it automatically goes into 1st gear from Neutral

2. When restarting the car the car should start in 1st gear not Neutral.

3. When the brake is held and the rpm is 0 then the car should automatic reverse.

If you think the automatic gear change should be left as it is, i still think there should be another option beside manual and automatic in the menu.

1 - as others said i like revving the engine so a no to that

2 - again no

3 - :O no no no, not for me!

what is pitstopper and where can i get it?

ah nice one cheers guys

I had my first experience of bump drafting tonight, some guy just started pushing me from behind on the oval in the FO8, just touched 200mph and got my a very quick PB, he also managed to push me up to catch first place, although i did finish 2nd.

he crashed after a lap or so though

When i played S1, when i finished a race, a table would come up on the right, showing everyones best laps, their car and their finishing position as people finished,.

in S2 i cant see this, do i need to enable it, if so how?

it looks like this

just use the top left and top right on my MOMO for left and right, and as you said both together for behind. i would like to think everyone knows this

i have a MOMO myself and i love it, would happily recommend it to anyone anfter a wheel

what annoys me is that yesterday someone smashed me off the track, claimed it was my fault, voted to ban me, and about 7 or 8 people voted yes, i couldnt believe it, they didnt even ask why before voting

no ive never seen it

lol that is classic

go to the setup forum on here, there will be setups on there for all the cars, or ask in multiplayer as people are always usually happy to share their setups.

as for framerate, you will have to lower some graphics setting or try a lower resolution if you want it to run faster
