Racing Games Discussion

[s18000rpm]

Any FANs of Simulation Racing games like Colin McRae 04, 05 ; Formula 1 series, NFS Porsche, lets discuss/share some Tuning / Setup & Strategy tips here.
& also some great moments in Games.


Tuning & Car Set-up Tips:

NFS Porsche Unleashed.
Any car that you buy in "modern era" can be tuned for better handling, max speed...
for example: Porsche 911 Turbo (2000)
In "car setup" Increase the Downforce for Front ==>97/100, for Rear ==>93/95.
Install the Performance Upgrades(as usual).

If any one interested on setting "Gear Ratios" for race Class cars, then ask.


Colin McRae 04/05

Before starting a 'Race' in Championship or Career mode,
==>take a good look on the "Stage INFO" of the two stages, (it shows the road surface type->light gravel, pea gravel., wet tarmac..)
==> & then Selcet a Appropriate Tyre.
==>Adjust the "Ride Height" acoording to the Track.
e.g. high ground clearence in Australian Stages will give better result + less under-body damage.

....more on request

F1 Challenge '99-'02

Useful Only for those, who play this game with foll. settings ==> Drivers AI- more than 98%, AI Drivers Agression-> more than 40%; race length ->more than 35%

==>In Championship Races, Plan the Pit-Stops, Start-Fuel, Tyre Selection.

==>Always see the Info on Track condition before heading for Race.

==>In "Advanced Settings" you'll find lot of Tuning Settings.
e.g you can set the Engine+Gear box to give Quick(high) Accleration + Decent Top Speed, which is really needed in Monaco Circuit.

Hi s18000rpm nice to know that u to are interested in racing games I have played all the games u have mentioned except Colin McRae 05 I have played only the 04 version.

But the game i play the most these days is F1 99-02 2006 MOD.Although the MOD is spanish i manage to configure it using google translator.
Right now i'm playing Suzuka with both aggresion and AI skill set @100% whic i can i win. U need to manage laptimes of 1.33.00 to keep in touch with AI Laptimes . I have a personal best lap @ 1.32.075.

I would love to play against u someday and BTW do u know where i can i download the 2006 MOD(English version).

Re: Colin McRae 04,05 + F1 Games Discussion

FINALLY a Simulation Racing FAN, YES!!!*smilies.sofrayt.com/^/aiw/yahoo.gif

i'm so happy*smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/f/2jump.gif

i too bought the F1 2006 Mod, i tried it on my cousins laptop, the gfx. was bad in it, so thats why i' havent tried it.

but i'll try it 2night.

all those modders did was, changed some audio (that too partially, which is real pain in butt), btw, is there any change in "Texts"?

btw for mods you can have a look @ CTPD 2005 , Black Hole Motorsports & BoomTown. (though boomtown servers are really slow)

i couldnt find 2006 mod, sorry

btw try to get the Colin McRae 2005, its a fantastic game, you'll surely love it.

much better gfx. & loads of tracks, like Germany, & each Country has 8 stages + 1 Super Special Stage.(not all country have SS)

In Colin McRae 04 (CMR04), which type of Gear box you use.?

& for F1, do you use Steering Wheel.? i'm using GamePad, with that itself i'm beaten badly if AI skill & Agression set over 85%.

the thing is that the steering input is not too smooth. (thru gamepad joystick).


when will you be free next week. i'll set up Hamachi server & then we can play online(LAN).

CMR 04 doesnt run this PC (runs fine on my cousins), the gfx. is corrupted, i tried updating..etc.etc.. nothing worked.

i guess i asked you too many Questions at a time.

Re: Colin McRae 04,05 + F1 Games Discussion

I got bored of racing games and iam no more part of their genre. Nowadays i spent more time on action adventure, strategy and adventure games.

Re: Colin McRae 04,05 + F1 Games Discussion

i got pissed off by Killing & Killing & more Killing (Max Payne1&2, Hitman3).

now i'm back to my good ol' pals Colin McRae, F1, NFS, GTR, GTR2, now waitin for Test Drive Unlimited

In hitman. It is not necessary to kill. You can use stealth and you need loads of patience and time consuming.

Re: Colin McRae 04,05 + F1 Games Discussion

Yea one more thread going off topic.

 

[s18000rpm]

Re: Colin McRae 04,05 + F1 Games Discussion

i love killing in the games , but there's a limit to it man, wtf mp 2 & Hitman, FEAR... all these games got so much AI to kill, it just gets boring sometime.

but take racing, (not NFS) like GTR, GTR2, CMR, in that you've to Set Lap Times, which helps in Strategy of your Race... its just THRILLING

try to get CMR05 or GTR2 & play it for sometime, then you'll know What i'm talkin
Shear Speed, Performance, Thrill...

If you want to kill your ass of boredom,play doom3.If you really want to see what is the power of FPS play call of duty.
