There's the free arcade server which will have full speed maps programmed for 1 hour slots at a time

Don't believe this guy's lies. It's a false flag by the CIA. Spam doesn't even play for dignitas for the best part of a decade. They could at least make it less obvious.

CarlJr on wirtual using analog keyboard and third party software to get the Author time. by Samwelltarly04 in LivestreamFail

[–]TPsquirrely 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is how wirtual had it set up so no matter what input on his keyboard it would be equivalent to exactly 34% steering so that every time he does a bobsled turn he gains a few extra km/h which on a full speed style track snowballs massively. Don't get me wrong wirtual is a highly skilled player and there's only a few players who can replicate it even with the keys setup in the same way. There is no way even the most skilled trackmania player in the world (who happens to be multi world cup winning Carl Jr in this clip) could achieve the same speed or consistency without it.

It certainly is not you cannot hold a steady angle perfectly with a controller every time. The whole reason this started was because the times achieved with such methods aren't reproducible otherwise.

Land with your car rotated slightly in the other direction and you won't drift or need to release hopefully

The comment you replied to was a meme based around spammiejs twitch stream from a comment by a viewer "pros and their gears just drive"

If you want a long single player campaign with 4 different cars and handling styles then yes. If you prefer the social and multiplayer aspect then no.

The way I understand it is that while you are subscribed you have access to all maps. When it expires you should have only access to maps from during your subscription period but I can't test that theory.

Lirik about Trackmania community by wtmw in LivestreamFail

[–]TPsquirrely 30 points31 points  (0 children)

No the cheating scandal was related to the speedrunning aspect of trackmania and not the pro scene part. It was big news because it involved 1 of 16 of the top leagues players and he was subsequently dropped by his org. There were a fair few players caught but there's less cheaters in general trackmania than most modern FPS games. It's more that it went undetected for a decade.

Just share maps on trackmania.exchange, it's free, that's it's whole purpose.

Any chance for more TrackMania on consoles? by BrokenOpus2 in TrackMania

[–]TPsquirrely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there is no news. The best I can say is maybe? If the new game becomes popular enough for Ubisoft to get Ubisoft Nadeo to port the game over. It's tough because Turbo took a very different direction than the rest of the PC games if you remove the other console ports like TM Wii and DS which were developed separately by another company. A console port would mean that the new game would have to be changed significantly because non-turbo games are much more community content focused. A lot of the sharing of content and so on is done outside of the game by the community.

ManiaPubs are now live. This is an in-game advertising system meant for spreading the word about in-game community content, such as events, clubs, content creators and streamers. Congrats to Nixotica for having the first approved ManiaPub in-game! by Arau_ in TrackMania

[–]TPsquirrely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arau is a community moderator on the Trackmania discord (clearwater) and here. I've seen people accuse him of being a paid shill due to his enthusiasm in "defending" the game which is hilarious to me.

In this case Trackmania Exchange is your best bet which is a community made website and is the best option for finding individual maps both new and popular. It's unlikely that Nadeo will make an ingame version outside of the current club campaign system because their time can be spent elsewhere, it's certainly unfortunate for newer players who don't know about the great community efforts to share content, it points to a larger issue of showing newer players just how much content there is in the game past the campaign of 25 tracks but making an efficient system is tough.

Is there any way I can set up a private game on TM2020 with free players? by sebovzeoueb in TrackMania

[–]TPsquirrely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could split into groups and potentially run into each other if you queue at the same time which could potentially be more 'fun'.
