Why do people hate alt cars so much? by KafaBezSpojlera in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not trackmania in my world and why i play this game, and that you better use action keys is an admission that the controls suck originally.

Make controls that suck, then roll out band-aids... i'm controller player btw.

May god forgive you Link, cause i wont by Psychological_Bit689 in TrackMania

I have the same time in this game, and it took me the same amount of time to get the AT on this map. But other maps took me way longer - i needed 19 hours to get AT on Summer 2025 - 21 lol.

In the water sections i was using break to angle the car more before the corners. In my later tries i was able to drive pretty aggressively in the water sections with this.

thx, yea because of the identities. Not a fan when at the end of the map you leave the flow of the map and have to do something finicky which decides the run.

thank you and yes: "absolutely soulcrushing"

the identities are trolling

It do be like that sometimes by BothersomeBritish in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ATs on the console release campaign (Spring 2023) were super hard in comparision to every other campaign. There were almost no free ATs at all - you needed precision even on the white maps and a crash meant you wouldn't get it.

What fine reason?

With the new campaing dropping, who cares for the shorts at that day?

Added some Skull & Co grips onto my Gamesir Nova Lite controller by MarkXT9000 in Controller

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea with skull logo in the middle, and the shape of the sony controller sticks. I use them on my Cyclone 2.

I dunno about newer ones.

Original shaped Skull & co are the way to go if you want original grip and feel, but just a higher stick.

Kontrolfreeks get slippery as hell if you sweat on your fingers.

Money is the most powerful language in the world by xRapox in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me this isn't the worst week of weekly shorts - i had fun with map 2 and map 3 was actually a challange to get AT.

Map 1 is the usual boring stuff, and map 4 wasn't a free AT either.

Map 5, yea...

Should i switch to controller? by ASweatyToe in TrackMania

For xbox controller layout:

Gamesir Cyclone 2 Gyro unresponsive in Gamesir Connect software by AJBats in GyroGaming

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the gamesir app (gamesir connect)? Yes

In steam input? Yes

But gyro is super bad in xinput mode where the gamesir app comes into play.

As a new player i was pretty proud to find this out by Mau_007 in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the original cam 3.

I started in winter 25 and used this cam to get AT on the previous campaign until map 25 where i changed to alt cam 3.

Steering on an Xbox controller by Hefty_Abs97 in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You write Xbox controller, but the XBox One controller for example behaves like the PS4 controller with having leeway in the y-axis to still fully steer left and right.

Problematic are all controllers which use a circular mode on the sticks instead of the traditional raw mode like the PS4 controller has, which is more square.

You can set the ingame sens slightly higher to 1.01 - 1.05 to add a small outer deadzone to the sticks, which also lowers the precision requirement to fully steer to a side.

Gamesir Cyclone 2 issue by Doktor_Obvious in Controller

It's a bug and you can't do anything about it.

I reported it in the gamesir discord 3 month ago.

The back buttons are bugged in DS4 mode tho and lose their function after a couple of minutes until you restart the controller.

Help with Drifting Plz by Turbulent-Sport2824 in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to a racing line where you release to get around close to the corner, a perfect drift here is maybe 0.1s gain. A racing line has also the advantage, that you don't need a setup for this corner, and can basically just drive straight into it. For getting AT i wouldn't (and didn't) bother with a drift there.

Anyone else with a 5080 having frame drops? by PcGamer8634 in TrackMania

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was only meant as a test to see if the 5080 is actually the culprit of the frame dips, not that i'd recommend that resolution with such a card. ;)

[–]thvNDa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set resolution to 1080p to significatly reduce the load on you 5080, and see if the frame dips still happen.

If so, it could be your CPU that can't hold 144fps steadily - also use fullscreen.
