Need for Speed Shift - Time Trial Championship ** Season 3 ** (Multiplatform)
- Thread starter NIKAZ
- Start date
Cheers guys. Much appreciated.
I agree Danny, 'Zytok Style' had a spoiling factor to it though it was good fun. I did manage a mid 19 driving a clean race, just couldn't manage the 18's so the Zytok style certainly gains ~a second.
I remember Road America from last season (I think) where Marine & I were battling it out at the top. We pushed each other to times even I didn't think were possible.
I know Marine loves 'The Ring' especially with the LP640. He's probably way ahead of all of us when it comes to the amount of laps needed to even get a decent lap time. Finding a balance with the tuning is a real pain due to the varied nature of this awesome circuit.

Corner EXIT Oversteer
Progressive (Gradual increase in oversteer as you apply throttle)
Soften Rear Sway (Anti Roll) bar
Reduce Rear Camber
Increase Rear downforce
Increase Rear Toe-in
Stiffen Rear Spring, Bumb & Rebound
Note - Remember Slow Bumb/Rebound = Driver input - Fast Bump/Rebound = Track conditions
Sudden (Car feels planted/settled during cornering phase then the Rear breaks loose suddenly)
Reduce Rear Bump stiffness
Reduce Rear Rebound stiffness
Reduce both Rear Bump & Rebound
Note - Rebound should be stiffer than the equivalent Bump
Sorry can't be more helpful, my gaming rig is playing up again so I've no idea what the McLaren F1 default settings are.

I'll post a couple of screen shots of the changes I've made grs.
I haven't played around too much with the tuning as I've only just got my gaming rig running again.
Give us a few minutes
Edit: Here you go
Add more downforce until you grow accustomed to the car/track combo

Cheers Dan,
I can get in the low to mid 58's consistently now. My first lap is in the 59's.
Been playing with Shock settings to improve the rear end over bumps & stability exiting corners with no significant joy I'm afraid.
Lower your type pressures to 26.09, far left for both front & rear. It seems to help with the rear end a little.
Most important as you all I'm sure are aware is THROTTLE CONTROL & try & stay off the curbs.
I'll post a vid tomorrow if my rig holds up.

No ABS mate
1:34 if I understand you correctly. Just before the Grey curbing on the exit of Canada Corner.
Little tip for loading game quicker and bypassing intros.
1. Add -skipmenu to the Shift shortcut - right click the shortcut, click properties, edit the target line to read
"c:\where shift is installed\shift.exe" -skipmenu
This will remove the profile selection screen
2. Rename the file \languages\languages.bml to .bmx
This will remove the language selection screen
3. Rename the files \movies\Attract.bik and \movies\Franchise_Ident.bik to .bok
This will remove the EA and Shift intro movies .
Two button presses and you're there, ready for quick race selection. Works for me.
Yeah Cheers for those little snippets Merlin. Very useful.
I'm uploading the vid I promised yesterday now. Be ready to link in about 20 mins.
Sector 1 - 0:43.1
Sector 2 - 1:25.0
Sector 3 - 1:58.4
Carousel - Feathering throttle in 4th gear. Don't turn in too tight early in the turn (T-9). Bring the car in tighter for T-10 gradually applying full throttle still in 4th. You should be able to grab 5th just before the curbing on the left for T-11 'Kink'. Kink is taken in 5th gear FULL throttle.
Little tip for the 'Kink'. Get over to the left hand side by the curb. To avoid going wide on the exit, thus getting out the throttle, take a little of the grass on the right apex to make sure you don't run wide on exit. Of course the best line is just kissing the apex which you'll get with a bit of practise.
