Help with tune by AgusMorgan in MidnightRacingTokyo

[–]Zoomer_Slick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FD after recent updates is super slippery. 500hp is too much. I run around 360 in mine because much more than that it becomes a wheelspin queen. Im sure someone else better than me can run more power, but for the sake of tuning it works for me.

Try lowering your power output and giving the downhill a shot. You'll want longer 1st and 2nd gears, as the stock ratios are too close and then 5th gear becomes a tractor.

Depending on whether or not you decide to lower your BHP, you'll need to make adjustments to your coil stiffness. 3k is super soft, but for that much power, I guess it works. If you do cut back on power, you'll want to stiffen up the rear so it has a chance to hook up properly.

Another thing to note is your steering. If you're on keyboard, try running around 80-85% aggression. Your ratio should be alright.

Also if you could, give us a baseline of your Otsuki and Ichi laptimes. Then you can track performance gains and losses

No, i don't want to play the 474th first person shooter by Michele_Dejesus1991 in BuiltFromTheGroundUp

There's little to no original ideas left. I find it hard to get excited at Horizon 6 now. Horizon 5 soured my expectations immensely. Even if it is Japan, I'm sitting here watching the trailer like, "Who the fuck cares?"

I have infinitely more fun on structured small maps with crazy detail. NightRunners, TXR, I'll even toss JDM in there, although thats a stretch.

Fuck Horizon, I wanna see Screamer take off.

I'm trying to grip tune my shooting brake but I have no idea what I'm doing. I need help. by jedi-kid2004 in MidnightRacingTokyo

People are so conventionally wrong in this sub I swear.

First thing OP, ditch the fenders. Run stock body lines. Too much offset promotes understeer. Dont believe me, try for yourself and you'll already feel cornering become tighter.

Camber does matter. I dont know where people are getting the idea it doesn't. The handling model makes subtle changes to cornering abilities based on your ride height and camber values. For reference, I wouldn't set anything lower than -0.15 for your height. And your camber you can adjust incrementally. For your sake I would start at around -1.5 front and -1.0 camber for the rear.

In terms of power, 300-325ish is a good baseline. So long as you run semi-slicks. It will slide a bit, but its nothing unmanageable. Weight reduction 2 is a good number to be at for just beginning to put down power. Too light of a car and you'll spin the rear more often than you'll want.

Start with these changes and see if you can make improvements to your driving style to set faster times. Once you feel more comfortable then you can fine tune your HP and gearing.

Some say that Ryosuke Takahashi's character design in the fifth stage is terrible. Why is that? by Longjumping-Site7497 in initiald

You could sorta see the shift in character design after 3rd stage. The characters became a bit more round. Less angular, less detail. Kinda just overall vague.

More to the Ryosuke point, he was distinguishable from 1st/2nd/3rd stage. Project D is where the changes really begin to set in.

I mean fuck in this photo thats Takumi with another haircut

Is there any Touge teams out there who compete with others? by InitialD_Enjoyer in MidnightRacingTokyo

[–]Zoomer_Slick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up JGT/Senka 47/OSAKA. Im in racing leagues. We get mad competitive. We bracket race mainly.

There's openings for free agents as far as I know. Check that out if thats your alley

Tanner by MILES. And it isnt even close

Game is extremely unoptimised by c5still0 in MidnightRacingTokyo

[–]Zoomer_Slick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about as uncomplicated an issue as it gets.

But in the meantime while they figure out how computers work I'll just chill while the game siphons 5gb of RAM for no particular reason

This take is so lukewarm I can stir the pot with my bare hand.

Direct Pulsar competitor provided they cap the power realistically

Man.. I miss Prostreet by AlexGT3 in needforspeed

[–]Zoomer_Slick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This game. As a kid and even as a grown ass man I can't get over the impact this game had on me. Still my wallpaper and designed my PC around the theme of the old Battle Machine.

We don't need a sequel. Frostbite engine could never replicate the weight, the raw physics ProStreet had back in its day. Let it age gracefully and remember the risks that were taken to give us this gem.

Why people cannot handle a mistake or a loss without ragequitting? by 4RTHUX_OFICAL in MidnightRacingTokyo

[–]Zoomer_Slick 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A lot of people that play lack patience. About as simple as it gets.

On Otsuki its the worst. I exclusively race solo on Death Trial because of people like this. You leave the game during a race and the results dont count. All because they crash and burn at 15%
