I just bought this on the half price steam deal... looking forward to playing it tonight.

Anyone use a wheel for it?

Nope, keyboard.

Same here. I like driving the trailblazer cars more, especially the Dallenbach on Croatia Mali alan pass. Pure awesome. BTW i'm number 5 in the world on that track with Trailblazer. See if anyone can beat me

WTF?!? Sheesh a joypad is bad enough, but a keyboard?? Hope you like coming last

'Wes · 18 Jan 2010 at 11:27

I have to admit though, the Evo 10 was a right drifter, kept sliding everywhere, the Subaru felt more planted.

But surely if the ocuk dirt 2 races are to succeed then we need a mix of racing classes and cars..not much good just using trailblazers and just 1 or 2 people wining all the time.

You'd be suprised, i hate wheels and joypads for PC games.

Devrij · 18 Jan 2010 at 11:53

I'm on keyboard too, but only cuz I can't afford a pad right now. Gutted I missed the race, but was watching films with the missus and couldn't say "happy birthday, but I'm just gonna race with the lads from OCuk" lol. Next time!

Agreed. One the second round, i changed it to rally but it still suffered with the same 2 or 3 people winning the races. Most of the players were new to the game anyway, so what better way to introduce them to trailblazer

Next time we can mix it up more, and turn collisions on so it gets REAL competitive.

Busa · 18 Jan 2010 at 13:10

Not just rally and trailblazer though...i need rallycross to show my awesome 6R4 driving skills

....i can pretend i`m Will Gollop...showing my age now!..my favourite was Gollops 6R4 biturbo..no turbo 6R4 in Dirt 2 though.

Busa · 18 Jan 2010 at 14:58

Better sounds for the cars if you want them...i have them and they work online to.

Don't see what's wrong with the current ones.

Not enough turbo and blowoff valve noise...i like the new sounds but its a personal thing :cool:

'Wes · 18 Jan 2010 at 15:08

I admit, the turbo sound is rubbish.

Busa · 18 Jan 2010 at 15:16

Driving in car view with the new sounds with head phones is fantastic.

How do you get the 'new' sounds?

Does steam download the update for you?

Agreed. A variety is best, though I suspect the same people will keep winning anyway (and it won't be me!). I like the raid trucks as well as trailblazers.

Suu Busa's post above linking to the codemaster forum. It looks like a fanmade creation, I haven't tried them yet.
