General Discussion MCM 2 / How to ride
April 08, 2005, 07:08:29 PM
Hi,
I'm new to the forum and very excited about adding some new tracks to the game. I hope it all works well.
I wonder if you can help me out with riding. That's how I found this forum in the first place. I can place first in the Enduros, and other races and do really well until I get on the pro-circuit supercross tracks. I swear the game is out to get me. (It even made me ride in a big pink bunny suit on one race. I couldn't believe it, gives new meaning to "Easter Egg") I will start out well, but if I make a mistake, like hitting or getting hit by another driver, they start way ahead of me and much sooner than I do. Or if I go off the track, it takes forever to stop the bike. I also notice that when I restart, if it's on a section that has several large bumps or rollers (I don't know the official terms for these features) the other bikes can from a dead start got flying up and over, while I get in the air and pile drive a landing on the face of the next bump.
I'm using a Logitech Wingman feedback wheel to drive ( so I can't do the stunts, and I must say this game doesn't jolt the wheel much even with force feedback set to full).
I've tried using a bigger or smaller bike, and tweaking the suspension, with little change. I did find that on the supercross tracks, that loosening the suspension on the front and back helps. The manual that came with the game has pitiful support for how to adjust the bikes for various tracks, (if you know where there's that kind of advice, I'd like to find it.) But I am wondering, what is the best way to handle the sections of small rollers, like a washboard. I sometimes drift toward the haybales, and find it very hard to correct the steering. Also I occassionally can get a rhythm where I can zip from one trough to the next and pick up speed doing so, but usually, I go bucking along and fall further behind. I'd appreciate some basic riding tips.
Thanks, I'm glad to have found this group and I look forward to learning more about racing on this great game.
regards,
Blaster
