Shift 2 Unleashed - Time Trial Championship Season 1

Hi King Damager, welcome :)

Here's my DFGT settings. I don't think my logitech profiler global device settings affect ingame as I only set it up to be used in F1 2010. NFS Shift has it's own wheel settings as my screenshots show.
Ignore the drift settings. Also, I use no deadzone settings, all on zero.

You'll get used to braking with practise although it's always a challenge to get braking points and braking pressure consistent. Look out for markers, basically anything you can use like 200, 100 or 50 metre signs, boxes, bridges, shadows, etc to remember where you're best braking point is.

You'll need to add 2 things, the juls mod and the ultimate savegame.

The 'juls mod' since we're all using it. It improves the handling of the cars and reduces laptimes by a good second or more. Without it you won't be able to be as competitive. Unzip the juls mod, put the dinput8.dll in your NFS Shift 2 root folder, (same folder where your shift2u.exe resides) and place PHYSICSBOOTFLOW.bff and PHYSICSPERSISTENT.bff in the 'PakFiles' folder, also residing in the root folder. They'll overwrite the original .bff files. Choose a pair of .bff files from either Average AI or strong AI. I use strong AI. I believe it's the .bff files which help laptimes. Maybe backup your original .bff files if you want.
>>JULS MOD HERE<<

'Ultimate savegame' This gives you millions of dollars so you can buy any cars. This saves us having to go through career mode and earn the money since we only want to do time trials. Back up your original save file if you have one (in case you still want to play through the career mode and build up your money), then unzip the ultimate savegame and place it in: C:\Users\yourname\Documents\SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED\profiles where it will overwrite your savegame.
>>ULTIMATE SAVE LEVEL HERE <<

Hope this helps!

Hmm, didn't know that grudas. I'll try it without, see how it goes.Thanks for the porsche pic, nice shot! :)

Just tried it without. With the juls mod I'd got the car pretty stable with various settings. Without the juls mod, it's like being on ice, the car is all over the place, it feels horrible.
If others find a speed advantage without it, I might try it again, but I'm going back to the mod.

The handling of the cars was a lot better post-patch, but the problem is it is still definitely faster with the mod installed, so unless everyone uninstalls it we are best keeping it.

thanks


well im without it.. will do a run around the track tomorrow and see how i get on with it.. :o
 
no way am i getting into 1.24's on that track.. no idea what am i doing wrong but i don't even get close to it..
 
Well I'm finally back having a go at this with a new G27.

Managed this and I'm pretty sure that's all there is in me. After matching Merlin's video I just have no idea how you are taking turn 2 or the hairpin like you are doing. I just cannot get the car to take a tight enough line through them and then also can't get the power down on the exit.

Hope I'm ok taking phone pics on the pc, I've just not got fraps installed yet.

Anyway...

Ok, I'll get around to doing this eventually, I might point out having added a couple of you on Autolog I'm going to get my butt kicked by about 10 seconds... mostly because I'm using quite a few assists atm as realistically this is my first semi-sim game... At some point (probably in a couple of weeks) when I've finished this temp job I'll spend a good couple of days with it on Elite getting annoyed with it and working out how to actually drive :p

Best I could do before getting bored of the circuit. Congrats Mr.F on getting 1:23.1xx, or to whoever might still beat him.
