lol!! I've looked for cheap supercars and there never is any!! :(


Question:

Do you have to go IN to every car dealer or just go PAST them to unlock the bikes?

If I have to go into them ill have to make a list and tick em all off or something lol

nice, i dont have that kind of money, i never sell anything hehe, but have 6 houses and 44 cars and 4 bikes if memory serves, its nice having so many cars to chose from when we go cruising haha

currently broke after my recent spending sprees though inc a cobra daytona, db4, mclaren f1 and the f1 gtr, and tuning them all

still, doesnt take a huge amount of effort to replenish the cash fund
 
just thinking how they could have made this game better.

i rekon if the cars had proper fuel consumption figures and petrol stops then it would really be more interesting.

bet i see less dodge viper masters driving around :D :D
 
youd never see anyone then, theyd just teleport to races so they didnt have to visit the petrol station every 5 mins from sitting at 8k RPM all the time

and what dodge masters...only people i ever see is the enzo brigade
 
i missed out on the ford concept car iirc for 1k last night, it was there, i clicked on it, then went to buy and someone beat me to it :(

I've only been playing for 2 days now, i have 2 houses, an ascari KZ1 tuned to stage 3, a ferarri F430 spyder, a nismo tuned 350z to stage 3 and a alfa GT, next is a group A car then a group G. I think Saleen is on my list :D

On a side note, how do you add friends.
 
You have to find them in the actual game, when you're close to them and can see them, Press F. Then use the numpad keys to navigate, press 6 to go right on the friend you want to add, then scroll down to add to friend list :)

Nice. British Racing green if i'm not mistaken. The only other colour you're allowed to buy an Aston in tbh. That and gun-metal style silver, Bond style. Which is what mine is. :D

Shame the DB9 has bad handling around corners, allthough tuned to Lvl 3 makes it quite good.

A poor workman blames his tools. ;)

Seriously, i think its quite nicely balanced. But then again i also think the 'Segg has good handling and nobody else seems to, just need to know how to handle the beast.

:cool:

Its Derwent Green, BRG is a little lighter than that which I find is a little weird as i think it looks more like BRG than the actual ingame BRG colour is :confused:

I think it isnt too bad, I have all driving aids off and Im using analogue stick to accelerate, slowly getting used to power slide this baby round bends in 3rd :D

thats some very bad filtering on the ground there. why arent you using 16xAF like me?
Click to expand...

I havent messed around with the settings in the ATi Control Panel yet, just running it @ 1280x1024 w/ HDR and 4xAA. Mite add it on to see how much of a FPS hit I get.
 
Bought this yesterday I always seem to struggle with racing games, apart from NFS:MW I could drive the cars in that dead easily :confused:. Anyway I am currently driving this:



Having some trouble with some of the races as I never handle the cars round corners properly or anything! :p

I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Anyway any ideas on what to go for next? I mean car wise. :)
 
go do transport missions till you have over 550k and get a saleen s7 twin turbo..then youll find out what losing it in the corners is all about :p

as for nfs being easy, it is an arcade game...but then so is this, but this game despite that wont have the same physics as nfs
 
my connection keeps dropping on the server so i gave up for now.
My progress so far, 18% game complete, expert.

cars.
Alfa GT
Nismo 350z (stage 3 tuned)
Lambo gallardo spyder
Ferrari F430 Spyder
Caterham 7
Aston martin V8 Vantage
Ascari KZ1 (stage 3 tuned)
Saleen S7 Twin turbo (stage 3 tuned)

Also the expensive bike (well 45k)

2 Houses both for upto 8 vehicles.

A few more questions....
How do you unlock the paint shops?

Where's the portal to get on the island? (screenshot?)

Also, when my game loads, the gfx are really bad artifacting but get better after a couple of minutes, settings i normally use are 16x AF (set through gfx card settings), 4xAA, no HDR (my gfx can't handle it well) and settings on high. My gfx card is a geforce 7600GT.
