alreet ?

having read your great reviews of tt i've got it today and it should be sitting at home ready for me when i get in from work. if it's as good as you say i'll be on it til the wee small hours so i'll post some first-time-lap-times and give you all a laugh.

watch this space.

got it !

very impressed. looks great and plays well. i don't think the physics of the bike are as realistic as 'tt superbikes' - some times the bike doesn't seem to be moving in the same direction as the track ?.......... but the game is better on every other level.

just got the tests out of the way last night (seemed to be far easier than i thought they would be) but i'll have a go at attacking some of your times tonight.

what are your favourite bikes to use ?

Definitely agreed on that. Tourist Trophy's a much better game overall.

My fav bikes are probably the RM Yamaha R1 and RM 999, but I haven't had a chance to play the game for quite a while so can't really remember what else was particularly good.

Got a USB stick?

not yet but i'll get one from work.

what size of USB stick do i need ? are the replay files huge ?

still trying to get me some nice bikes so i've mainly been riding Valencia - can only get down to 1'42" so i've got a lot to catch up to do having seen some of your times.

this 'profesional mode' that people keep talking about ? what am i missing - i can't find it. does it just meen using 'mt' instead of 'at' and using the 'failure modes' or something ?

Nah they're tiny, you could fit 1000s on a 128mb card. But you probably won't, since the game only lets you copy one replay at a time from the card to the game itself.

Professional mode is I believe hidden in the game/controller settings, can't quite remember exactly. Basically it turns off traction control (so you can spin up the rear tyre and crash lots when trying to back it in - all good fun) and unlinks the brakes so you can control the front and back seperately. Worth doing imo, you'll get used to it in no time at all.

..some times the bike doesn't seem to be moving in the same direction as the track

Trailbraking would cause this. You see the effect in aeronautics too; the noses of planes aren't always pointed in the direction the plane is headed. Usually happens when the plane turns sharply upward or to either side.

a-ha - found pro-mode. certainly spices the game up.

ive realized that you can actually load as many replays as you want on your flash drive, by saving them to a different folder, but when you want to watch a certain replay, just put it into the "PDI" folder. you will still need a computer to do this, but dont have to have access to the internet to swap the files from folder to folder.

apologies if this is a dumb ass question but,

what riding style are you using ? what's the difference ? are you changing the rider position ?

it's all a bit technical for me :(

http://www.motogpboards.com/showthread.php?t=435

see if this helps.

i "customize" my rider settings. i just recently started fooling around with different styles according to what the bike is doing. im not really getiing anywhere fast, but ill be happy to share what i find.

i "customize" my rider settings.

Just as I thought. Grammatically hamstrung. He asked about your riding style, not your bike setup.

P.S. I still expect you to demonstrate your claim of a 6'43 Nurburgring lap riding walls and cutting corners. Your time is running out.

Uncreated

what riding style are you using ? what's the difference ?(

It's not a dumb question, but it's one that technically doesn't need to be asked, given that the game explains the difference between the rider forms.

Nonetheless, there are three pre-set riding styles: Lean Bike, Lean Body and Motard. Memory escapes me, but Lean Bike and Lean Body offer the advantages of faster and more controlled entry, mid or corner exit speeds. Take your pick. There are also disadvantages to each style, most of which become apparent as you subject each style to extended playtime (lean your bike too much and you fall over). Naturally if you use the presets as a basis for some minor tweaking you might entertain, you can combine advantages from the two main styles -- Lean Bike or Body.

As for Motard, it's a radical foot down offroad style, not particularly well-suited to street motorcycles. Ignore that one for now.

Uncreated

dude, my dick is bigger than yours, get over it.:P

the reason i posted that is there is relevent info regarding his question. i guess your ignorant, illiterate self cant read much.

also, the way the bike is set up depends upon the riding form, and vise versa. my form may or may not be to his liking, but rather he needs to experiment and see what changes affect what aspects of the handling. if you rode a bike, you would have realized this...

dude, my dick is bigger than yours, get over it.:P

At the expense of a rather backward mentality I might add. Reading your posts, you always seem to be several miles behind on the obvious scale. It's as if you find it difficult catching on to plain truths.

Listen, if you want me to suggest some books, simply ask. There are plenty at http://www.hop.com that might interest you.

Partially true, but there's no constant to that rule. It's conditional at best.

P.S.: That 6'43 time calla made up, it was an example. He never said he was going to do it. One more note... just because he rides an R6 doesnt mean your any faster than he is on your 750, besides, he wasnt talking about top speed in general.

dude, you have issues, i guess mommy and daddy didnt pay you much attention...if you had either. i also didnt have a high school shop class.

you know what, im done wasting my time with a worthless piece of shit like yourself...i dont give a fuck if your iq is 200, your still an arogant, eogtistical pile of useless shit. youd think with your intelligence level, you would have better things to do than pick on the ppl on various boards. but apparently you are sooooo smart, that you have come and conquered everything...and obviously you have to make up for other short comings.

oh, uncreated, anyday, any track, ill take you down, no qeustions asked. ill take my now beaten up r6, and you can have any bike you want, or can get for that matter, and i will smoke you so bad, oh, the thought is so humorous.

Well that's his problem. I don't speak figuratively. I deal in hard facts and concrete evidence. He wants to stress me with his bullshit claims and call me a cheater, I'm going to anchor him with the burden of his own bravado and have him prove himself. Until now he hasn't come up with said evidence, despite my relaxing the criteria and having him come up with even a 6'55 using any manner he chooses, but he can't even manage that. However, that's between him and I. You're merely a spectator.

You seem bored, so I suggest you head back and better my Nurburing time. If you can. You saw the numbers. I smoke you around that track at virtually every point. Heaven forbid I make the attempt in semi-pro mode; alas, that cramps my style. Literally.

I already have bettered your Nurburgring time. As for you, I'd seriously shut the fuck up. You "smoke" me on my 4th slowest time you ignorant fucking prick. Get a grip.

Does a 6'47 lap time with an R1 RM in pro mode cramp your style? Or are you gonna whine and cry claiming that I cheat? I'm over with your bullshit. I dont give a fuck how old you are, or what your IQ is. They are just numbers than mean nothing to anyone else but YOU.

LOL! Put away your semi-pro toys and come scrap like a man, you fool. You put up a valiant pro mode effort, amateur as it was with your tires spinning like crazy the whole run, but it falls short. You can't handle the higher difficulty. How do I know this? Well, by the fact you moved onto setting SEMI-PRO records on the vastly easier Special Stage Route 5. Give me a break, son.

What's worse is how you have people going nuts over the time you set, them not knowing you didn't even make the attempt in pro mode.

Remember, I don't play semi-pro mode, because motorcycles with linked brakes and traction control are a foreign concept to me. Matter of fact, they're a foreign concept period. Handicaps for the handicapped. But I repeat -- if I decided to run that track in semi-pro mode, I'd guaranteeably remove every reason for you to brag about them. Just to spite you, I should.

You can have your boyhood difficulty records; any pro mode attempt you make on any track in this game, you stand to be ruined by me.

There is nothing wrong with Semi-Pro mode, may I remind you. You think you can top me? Then bring it you little fucking twerp. Your claims backfire on you. I dont give a shit what your OPINION is. I run both semi and full Pro mode. And for certain reasons, one of them is by choice. I run Semi-Pro FIRST to get a feel for the track, and then switch to Pro-mode to get a feel for the bike AND track. Shut the fuck up you numbskull. Your own IQ kills off your common sense.

One more note....

Out of 3 forums that I visit... you, Uncreated, are the only person I know of that cares whether or not a time is Pro mode or Semi-Pro mode AND despises Semi-Pro mode. You need to just shut up and go HOME.

Technically so does Callaghan, but you can let him tell you that.

However, what I do take issue with is you not differentiating between your semi-pro and pro runs, as you so conveniently did above. Basically you're an attention-craving whore who neglects essential details in favour of an emotionally self-favouring response from others. You are a veritably manic storehouse of pretext geared toward earning you the respect you beg for. With you, the pretense is so thick I'd need a chisel to punch through it.

"You haven't beaten my Nurburing time; you haven't even beaten my fourth slowest time," you say. The details neglected? The fact your crown achievement, your pro mode Nurburing run was crushed by me and that all you have to rely on are your medium-difficulty semi pro times to base your weak argument on. Hahahaha!

You have been DEFEATED.

Man, can I have an opponent that has some real debating skills? Shoot.

Uncreated

You have been DEFEATED.


Who said? I forgot to tell you Uncreated, your 6'52.107 time doesnt even exist as for as I know.

..your 6'52.107 time doesnt even exist as for as I know.

Good, then I'm counting on you to demonstrate your reasons for making that statement, including all relevant proofs and details supporting your argument. You had best make this air tight or I'm going to destroy you. Until then, it remains the fastest known pro mode run on the Nurburgring to date.

Ready, set, go!

In my haste, I may have uploaded the wrong replay. When I return home from work, I will correct this.

Uncreated

oh, snap.

Well, let's put it this way. My 6'52.107 does in fact exist, matter of fact it's right here, but that doesn't matter anymore -- as of the last couple hours, we've both been smoked by somebody named Spire. 6'50.979, pro mode, and he's smooth as hell. That puts you in third place. His equalizer is 230 miles per hour on the back straight.

So, what do we do now? Beat his ass down instead of each others'.

I want a divorce!

Uncreated

Just had a look at his split times and I beat him to nearly every checkpoint except the second (0.004ms difference), second last and last (his tall sixth gear did it for him). For the most part, my average lead over him throughout the run was far higher than it was over you.

All I pretty much have to do is spread out my gears and he's dead in the water. I'm gonna reclaim this bitch.

Uncreated

That puts you in third place.

I disagree :D. A lap time... is a lap time, no more or no less. Nor does it matter how it was done... as long as no cheating was involved of any kind.

So I'm still sitting in first two seconds ahead of Spire. :headbang:

<P.S> Spire's replay is done out of Arcade Time Trial mode... so he may have reduced weight and increased power...

Sup guys. I noticed some nice times being laid down for the Ring so I figured I'd jump into the fray. Btw Storm, all my replays were done in TT mode.

welcome spire. nice replay.

what does it mean when there is a clock laid on top of the replay picture?

Thanks Callaghan. The clock just means that I had Failure Condtitions turned on.

A lap time... is a lap time, no more or no less. Nor does it matter how it was done...

I'd poll the TT community on that one. Your opinion would most assuredly be in the minority.

The amount of rationalizing you do is absolutely astounding. You are no doubt lacking the deeper wisdom that a few more man years provides, young whippersnapper.

That's okay, you go on thinking you're on even keel playing your game on easy while others eclipse your efforts on impossible. Eventually you'll grow out of it when you recognize the elite won't want you on the field if you're not willing to get tackled.

At any rate, you and your semi-pro self are no longer a factor. Spire is my new opponent now. I know we'll make great art together. Just sign those divorce papers and we'll call it a day.

With all the talking that you've done, most people (and myself) would think you'd beaten my time... but you havent. :lol:

I almost matched the time with an R1 RM on Pro mode versus my semi-pro mode run this morning, so either way, I'm set with the time that I have. No need for me to prove something that I have already done.

With all the talking that you've done, most people (and myself) would think you'd beaten my time... but you havent.


The above is a claim. Below you'll find proof to the contrary. Like I said, I deal in facts, not tear-filled emotional exclamatories. Fools deny facts, and you're top dog in that category. Upon even criteria, your best pro mode effort simply falls short. Understand this.

Uncreated

Dumbass... I wasnt refering to that time. Go ahead, take another cheap shot, right at my chin.

Since the numbers above were pretty uniform, we could also compare both of our pro mode efforts against your 6'48 semi-pro run. The two columns show how far ahead (advantage) your semi-pro run was against our pro. Overall, I fared better against your semi-pro. It's hardly scientific, but the rough conclusion that can be drawn (so far) is that I have the potential to be the more accomplished pro mode player. :crazy:

This can become more scientific as we do more comparisons going forward. It would definitely be interesting to see.
