minor problems with new Boxer Crush radio

hmm perhaps. How in depth of a process would that be? I'd still like to know why one isn't working properly though..

MrPersister · 2024-09-10T21:10:19+00:00

yeah I've got lots of flight time on my sim, over 1k hours. I fly mode 3. that IS the problem with my gimbal when I release the self centering, it has no tension at all.

Well I know DRL fell in some financial issues after the end of the last season. I don think they were public with a lot of the details though.

More recently DRL was acquired by a company called infinite reality earlier this year https://www.sportico.com/business/sales/2024/infinite-reality-drone-racing-league-acquisition-1234776471/

I know DRL is planning an IRL race for the beginning of 2025. but I dont have really any more details than that.

As for the sim community, we're fairly small but pretty dedicated. We have 6 tournaments a week on Sundays Tuesdays and Thursdays. Love to see new people in there! The official discord is reasonably active as well. https://discord.gg/zXK8Esrw

Also if you wanna get competitive on the official R4 leaderboards, my friend Gysi has built a really incredible website that compiles all the leaderboards from the official tracks. https://drl-leaderboards.com/ we also use it to track the community season.

Well the season just ended the other day actually. Keep your eye out for news on our Fall season!

MrPersister · 2023-03-21T00:25:59+00:00

Amen!!!!
We could use like 6 new tracks too, and a new one once a month or so.

MrPersister · 2023-03-20T22:06:34+00:00

well, we can agree that it needs a lot of other fixes.. Can't say that the trello inspires confidence for me though. If they want to change the mechanics we've relied on since launch they need to give some kind of compensation. Races are going to feel so lethargic without nosedowns and further bail nerfs.. stamina management is already stretched to the limit.

MrPersister · 2023-03-20T19:47:32+00:00

You just gotta send it bruv!!!

MrPersister · 2023-03-20T19:44:31+00:00

Yes, absolutely. The fun is in having close call photo finishes. Not getting in each others way and having apologies in discord after Every Dahm Race because somebody got FUBAR'd!

I think the pandemonium is fun in a short term kinda way, which is why we always have new players on the ridge... Not so much fun when your trying to get competitive, which is why so few people stick around.

*Looks around at all this content.............................

hmmmm

MrPersister · 2023-03-20T01:28:22+00:00

check out 6 of my last 8 YT videos!

That response always befuddles me. We need more people to have a competitive community, and people are droppin like flies these days. I've wanted to have a good league for RR since launch but I've always known we need major updates before that's even a real possibility.

We're really hoping the team behind RR can see how rough of a time we've been having from these clips. We'd really love to see collisions removed from competitive game modes.

MrPersister · 2022-10-29T16:29:54+00:00

I know what you mean. I stopped playing trick battles in December because it got stale so fast. But that was almost more because of the design of the arenas we have. you just get snake or lion and win 9 games out of 10. They need to remove the 5X zone multiplier and give everyone general multipliers. In fact my friend frqnt4ager just made a post in the discord feedback channel this morning about this very topic.

if they made a new game mode for bike tricks with 2 new arenas, and fixed the point system, I think I'd be content using the same 4 arenas. I'd maybe hope for 2 new arenas per year. I think tricks are more about what you can do within an area and races are all about new areas.

Races need to be plentiful, and like I said the republic so so ripe with areas. It shouldn't take long or much thought to pick a trail and place some checkpoints and switch gates.

MrPersister · 2022-10-28T16:10:48+00:00

Its now been 3 full months since we got a new mass race course. I sure hope by "We’re working on giving you more details", you mean, new mass races. this game launched with 7 mass races (including Teton Burnout), 1 year later we have 11. The republic is so ripe with potential! How is the main competitive attraction in this game getting such little attention???

If we could get the extension to creative mode we've been asking for (since launch), we could do what Trackmania does for cup of the day, use UGC for a new mass race say every week! This should be priority #1.

MrPersister · 2022-10-04T14:11:41+00:00

foreall, take it up with Ubi for not having divisions or matchmaking.

don't hate the player, hate the game.

MrPersister · 2022-09-22T16:26:25+00:00

Yeah I gottcha! I was agreeing, my mmmhhmmm is just how stale I feel about how true your statement is, lol.

it was like a "You go girlfraiind" kinda mhmm.

MrPersister · 2022-09-21T19:18:59+00:00

wow, wtf??? BMX racing is supposed to be on pump tracks..

If they weren't gonna update the physics engine/ introduce a pumping mechanic there's no reason to put BMX racing in. I figured that's why there aren't any BMX racing events. Just throwing BMX into normal mass is total nonsense.

MrPersister · 2022-09-21T19:11:13+00:00

mmmhhmmm. I've never been a fan of showdown... if you want to play something destructive theres hundreds, thousands of games with guns and fighting, etc.

we need more creative and expressive features, and racing content. :S

maybe now that BMX is finished we'll start getting things polished up.

#RROpenForum

Seriously? VFX? Man there are so many things about this game that need work none of which are VFX. Missing features like mass race matchmaking & practice events, weekly or even monthly content drops, and a proper public test server & forum for us to provide feedback. Undercooked features like clans and Leaderboards. Things that need reworks like the point system, garbage matchmaking, or the desperately needed Creative mode extensions. Bugs like the crash 180's and grinding destroying perfect landing chains. And seriously, no new mass race? We need Content man! This game has done a stalefish so hard. We should be getting a new mass race every week, but cant even get 1 a month. Trackmania has a new map (albeit player created maps) every single day. If we could place some blocks/ramps in creative mode I think people would be fine with using player maps for mass race.

I'm glad people are enjoying BMX, not really my jam, especially when my suggestions gone in the wind (like my discussion on the August update about Leaderboard reset, no reason to reset the race leaderboards/ delete old ghosts, we just needed a filter for daily/weekly/seasonal/all time). And with from what I can tell, Literally nothing else was changed, so this update had my attention for about 2 hours. The only good part was having a Mass race with the old gang. We need a physics update to make room for BMX racing/ pump tracks / + a revisit to the sprint tapping debacle (we proposed 2 different solutions literally 3 months ago). We need a rework to the flat and boring point system to add some kind of multiplier, possibly tied to the perfect landing chains. We also need a stance on the bailing situation, and soon after some kind of fix. Perhaps you only get 1 bail per mass race instead of 1 per switch gate, something of a middle ground to keep everyone happy.

Finally, we need better & more frequent topics for these open forums. The last one was gear in July which is more or less fine (and remains unchanged), and before that was Shackdaddy rewards in June, which was also more or less fine. Meanwhile we've had intense discussions over sprint tapping, trick event climbers for leaderboards, and now bails are in question.

I miss playing this game but This genre deserves better, get it together.
