Need for Speed Shift - Time Trial Championship

Vigoro · 13 Oct 2009 at 19:52

The stock car feels faster than the fully tuned one. What the hell?

NIKAZ · 13 Oct 2009 at 20:32

Getting quicker

For the power this car possesses I'm expecting to fly between the corners but for some reason it feels sluggish to me. Keep shouting at the screen 'Come on!!. Is fun to slide it about though.

i rekon theres a good .4 ~ .6 seconds a lap with my current setup... cant quite string a clean lap together at the mo

lol

I've done 1.27.810.

I reckon I can do a time in the 1.26's with more practice. Already been 0.6 up on my best, but blew it in the second last corner.

Loving the game, just wished they'd fix the stuttering into corners.

Fraps?

Wedge · 13 Oct 2009 at 23:02

first decent time, took some time 'learn' some tuning

Mine stutters all the time with and without fraps running

CaDLoN · 13 Oct 2009 at 23:05

I dont get stuttering into corners, used to get a bit of dodgy front end bounce, but nothing a bit of suspension tweaking didnt cure

tals · 13 Oct 2009 at 23:26

Could do better but at least it's into the 33's

Reckon I can get to 31 not sure I could do any faster though - still will keep trying though

We need a tuning master class

Van Diemen · 13 Oct 2009 at 23:46

First run:

I know I can do better, just don't have the time for playing games

I am running FRAPS, I will try it with it off.

Skeeter · 14 Oct 2009 at 00:34

Just cant get under 1:33

danswan · 14 Oct 2009 at 01:04

First try at this one - as usual looks like I am a few seconds off the lead

I think what he meant was...did you use FRAPs to record the screen shot to prove your score? which is required in this thread.

Some tuning advise, i know im not the fastest ......(yet, lol) but thought id share my findings, ground breaking they are not.

I took some time last night to listen to each explination of what each setting does, (yer obvious i know) and i found that if i set the car (for this car/track) for lots of oversteer, and then tweak it away from this until the car is stable, it took me a couple of hours to get a decent setup, but i went from 1.36 laptimes to 1.29 within that time frame.

I can see why people are frustrated with this game, but take my word for it, learn the tuning section, and you set much better lap times. No one can really tell you what there settings actually are because not every setup will suit every player. Just get a exagerated start point (oversteer is best personally) and rain the car in from there.

Hope this helps

Maverick · 14 Oct 2009 at 17:10

Bit quicker from me.

yea i went down a similar route Wedge... & i made it a WHOLE lot worse before i found settings that suited me.

Bizzarely enough i started from the oposite end, Major understeer & dragged it back from there

Would be nice if you could save setup profiles... tis a pita trying to remeber what i changed last... my own fault for dabbling too much in the advanced settings

But at the mo i race around like a demented idiot for a couple of sessions then have a tweak... and repeat... many times lol
