I'll try too, but you might have to make do with a vid of a replay - I tried last week but I was like 5 seconds slower than normal, which doesn't help anyone..

best i can do

Good start utajoker. This track is very hard to master. You'll get quicker I promise you.

OK here you go, my first ever youtube upload. Not sure why it's a bit small, I used windows live movie maker and just chose the upload to youtube option, hopefully you can see something useful. It's a 20.85, this is the best I can do, Fraps really destroys my framerate

NIKAZ · 4 Jan 2010 at 21:14

Uploading a vid as well. Mines a 1:20.620. Similar time.
Be good to compare mine with danswans' vid

The vid's still processing so the quality will improve once that's complete

danswan · 4 Jan 2010 at 21:52

Nice driving Nikaz -much better than mine, although I'm blaming Fraps for most of that

Major difference I can see is the braking - I brake much later & whack the gears straight down to first, it allows for a much smaller braking distance. I obviously wouldn't do that if I owned a Lamborghini but as it's not my gearbox...

I have really buggered up my settings

wish i didn't touch them car is a nightmare to drive gotta work on getting it back to how i had it.

Wedge as promised, here is the lap of this car/track combo with the lap time of 1.19.9. I hope Nikaz, Danny and my video will help people who are struggling with this car/track combo.

hmm is that some kind of cheat breaking going into first gear in heavy breaking?

thx for pointing that out

i dont think i can drop gears that fast with stearing wheel

utajoker · 5 Jan 2010 at 12:34

improvement.

still not hooked up a full on lap.

danswan · 5 Jan 2010 at 13:36

Nice lap uta, picking up the pace now.

utajoker · 5 Jan 2010 at 14:49

its really hard to get a picture of the time because its only on for a couple of seconds, so my last lap is slow so i can get ready on the camera

danswan · 5 Jan 2010 at 15:47

Yeah I can imagine. I know inam22 used to play on Xbox but moved to PC, I think you are our only Xboxer here now.

*Edit* I got this from a previous post from Nikaz in the last series:

NIKAZ said:
It's replay mode. When you complete your final lap wait for the game to update your profile points etc (you can skip obviously) and select Leaderboard (9 key on keyboard, right shouder button x360 pad). This shows your best legal lap time for the session you just completed. Also a replay is playing in the background so you can take a series of snapshots in this mode to prove your racing on the correct track i.e. Glendale West.

<Snip>

Would maybe stop you having to waste your last lap mate.

Wedge · 5 Jan 2010 at 20:08

'Worked' from home today .....

ps. is it just me, or have you all changed to the front bonnet view (from cockpit) Since i upload my vid?

I tend to use cockpit view by default. I started doing my vids in this view as it's what I use, but on one particular combo last season I recorded the vid in bonnet view so it was easier for people to see where I was braking/corner entry etc.
Some cars (e.g. Viper) you don't get a clear enough view of the track in cockpit view so I switch to bonnet.
The behind car view is useless.

Hi everyone, finally got out of hospital this afternoon

First thing i decided to do was buy a new desk to fit my three monitors

Heres a few screenshots of nfs in eyefinity, looks amazing dont ya think?
Really adds to the imersion and sense of speed while playing.
Excuse the lap time lol, gunna take some getting used to..

Damn, apparently thats the pics uploaded to default size :confused:

Anyone know how i can upload them bigger?

Good time utajoker. You chopped over a sec & half off your previous time. With practice you'll get quicker & quicker. You'll soon be up with us I assure you.

Have you got access to ALL the cars now money wise?
