Need for Speed Shift - Time Trial Championship

see that's a bit strange. Nikaz' gear ratios are pretty much the same as mine but his springs and dampers are almost entirely opposite. I have everything ramped up quite high to combat the body roll that I felt on softer settings. It does seem quite a personal thing to some extent though I am tempted to try the setup Nikaz has illustrated just to compare what it feels like.

Funny how you haven't posted a lap using your settings though. Have that suspicion again that you've got a 1:09 or summat waiting to drop at 23:59 tomorrow........

Dagnammit Asim, couldn't you have just settled for third?!?!?!? :)

Thanks NIKAZ - unfortunately this time it appears I am beyond help - I have a 1:13.530 in the bank from earlier in the week with my random settings but I can't get anywhere near it with these settings - I'm just not good enough.

Here's my time. Posting the settings pics I forgot to post my time. Cheers for the reminder.

Just made it into 1.10's. Bloody hard work though, the hardest yet. Getting the braking right whilst using NOS is a real challenge as you've only one lap, screw it up and the rest of time trial is pretty much pointless.

I agree about reducing body roll but I set the car softer to ride the curbs & combat the dip in the braking zone at the end of the long straight.
 
have tried your settings and the car seems much less responsive on the bends. I am getting some sliding though on ultra stiff which can't be good so might aim in the middle and see where that gets me. Happy enough with third though, just messing for the sake of it now.

Can you check your BHP as well please Nikaz, someone mentioned about it being 370BHP and just wanna check it's not the patch that's changed anything.

best time so far.

my problem seems to be setting the G25 up for SHIFT, other games it feels right as soon as you turn it on, with SHIFT it feels awfull and i'm constantly changing the settings..
 
hi everyone, first time posting here. I had a serious accident at work 3 months ago where my left hand got severed off. I have since been left not able to do much.
I decided to treat my self to a gaming rig, and discover the joys of pc gaming:) Im slowly mastering the art of using my g25 with one hand, so this lap time for me is a big achievment:

First off, welcome to the forums!

Second i feel for you regarding your accident, friend of mine did a similar thing. Glad to see you have found something to enjoy though, gaming rigs rock. Best of luck on the time trials :D

ps. Nikaz you git :P
 
Thanks very much:) Yeah its going to be a long process so im glad ive got something to keep me occupied.
Also managing to play fps with a microsoft intellect mouse and my foot using the spacebar to run/jump! :)
Really good idea these time trials, good fun and adds something to the game.
 
Welcome Lewdogga

BTW...ban nikaz..ban Lewdogga...in fact ban everyone with a faster time than me. Nikaz should have a weight penalty for the next time trial...200 kgs of lead should do it!

338 BHP. I keep playing with settings and screwing everything up. revert back and the car feels totally different.. weird. Have you had any joy with tyre pressures? I'm sure there's a sweet spot, just can't find it.

LOL. As long as the track is down hill with no bends I don't mind.

Welcome lewdogga.
 
Not had time to put in a time for this round, been a busy week.

My 3yr old has been in hospital (minor surgery on ear).

First run, it's bad. Will try and get a proper lap in by tonight

Lol thanks for the welcome. I tryed your settings nikaz, and played around with them. Cant seem to get under 1:13 now.. My lap earlier must have been a total fluke lol

Trust me. Mine was a fluke. Pure persistence on my part.
If I was to record say 100 lap times with this car/track combo I'd estimate 75% would be around 1.13.5+, 20% 1.12.00 to 1.13.50 % the other 5% below 1.12.00. That 5% had a hell of a lot of luck involved. My next fastest time is 1.11.200
