Came across this a while back not bad at all-

Good ideal, but with these new wheels, and there powerful motors, turning left or right will lift that table, cant imaging plastic piping being stable at all.

Can anyone help me here please?

Dirt Rally launches and knows there is a controller plugged in (g29) but doesnt let any of the buttons work. Ive tried turning it off and on again etc. Is there a reason its doing this?

Hedge · 3 Apr 2016 at 20:48

Working now, but took a restart and downpower/repower or all wheel etc.

Finally got round to setting up my wheel and playing this again for the first time in ~6-7 months. Decided I'm going to master what I think is the prettiest Group B car and go for rank 1s in the Lancia 037.

Got Rank 1 tonight on Pedines Epidaxi which is my favourite stage. Taking requests on what stage to go for next. Bear in mind I haven't played Sweden or Finland at all. That's not to say they're off limits, it would probably just take some time.

DG fancy battling over a welsh stage?

Video is uploading for my Rank 1 Lancia 037 run. I only have 1mbp upload

.

Oh and btw did they wipe the hiscores or something? My R1 in the 205 on greece time has been removed which would still be rank 2/3 (I think) now. Not bad considering it was like 8 months ago.

they wipe time when they are not legit

Mason- · 4 Apr 2016 at 00:42

But I have a video of it so how can it not be legit lol

Limpnoodle · 4 Apr 2016 at 00:48

Im guessing updates change lap times and crap, not sure tho

Mason- · 4 Apr 2016 at 00:53

I'm fairly sure they have been wiped because I think none of my times are up anymore. Oh well just means I will have to take them back

Here she is anywho

Did you install the g920 software 1st, them plug the wheel in when promted?

~>Dg<~ · 4 Apr 2016 at 10:49

times get wiped when cheaters use software and with game updates.

they monitor times and know what can be achieved legit.they can check any time player.

game updates with benefits aswell mean time wipes for obvious reasons.

making a video of it doesnt mean anything.

looks a nice run. you should do some other runs. hope you dont go away again .

Mason- · 4 Apr 2016 at 11:14

I'm gonna try and rank 1 all stages in Greece in the 037.

~>Dg<~ · 4 Apr 2016 at 11:29

cool .

maybe a time check and reset later.

also the patch is tomorrow all. 7 new cars tweaks fixes. awesome.

Amatsubu · 4 Apr 2016 at 13:24

Can't wait for the new cars but I hope they finally add a more convenient way of checking your times for each stage and car. I don't even remember the stages whose delta times I haven't yet beaten.

At my current level, I'm more interested in improving my own times rather than comparing myself to more serious drivers who use wheels etc. and not being able to easily keep track of it all is a huge omission in a rally game IMO.

~>Dg<~ · 4 Apr 2016 at 13:28

you at end of the track just press one key.it will show your time and friends.you can then press another to show all times in the game.

Amatsubu · 4 Apr 2016 at 13:52

Yeah, I know but I was thinking more along the lines of being able to scroll through your last times with different cars during stage selection and a proper time trial. AFAIK, there's no way to check your last time when selecting stages and to make the game measure how you fare against your last attempt for each part of a given stage (just like it does for delta times).

~>Dg<~ · 4 Apr 2016 at 14:16

set up your times ingame to be against personal best.

dont know if you knew about that. then you can compare see how you are doing each sector.

Amatsubu · 4 Apr 2016 at 14:24

I didn't, must've missed the option

If it's true then it's better than nothing. Does it measure the time against your last attempt in the car you're currently driving or globally? If it's just tbe overall best time then it might be a problem if I just from a Fiesta to a Mini

Sorry for the stupid question, I still don't know this game inside out.

Thanks for your help

~>Dg<~ · 4 Apr 2016 at 14:52

it will show your best time in that car on that track. so fiesta 2010 will be different from same class vehicle.

if you hoplapping/pb/record hunting always best to have personal best on.

Great, thanks

BTW, the game's getting stellar reviews on PS4, hope it sells enough for Codies to consider DLC. I'd buy every single one in a heartbeat;p
