My thoughts on some improvements that could be made.

Agreed..On most of those..
But I think crashes are kinda fine anyway..
Just gotta ask..
You race #677?

How are crashes kinda fine? IMO, this is a huge issue that needs to be fixed eventually.

Uhm they arent really but..
I dont really care about how the crashes look..I really dont think thats important..Well, the flipping around is really really annoying but..I care more about the actual riding then crashing..

5.)Traction. This game kind of feels like your riding on ice, or close to it. It feels VERY slippery, and too easy to wash out. I want to be able to go around a flat corner, get on the gas half way through and feel the bike hook up and power out, with the back end wanting to swing around the front. *The progressive throttle would be great here.

I can agree with you there........The traction on the front wheel in corners is a bit vague at times......especially in flat Sweepers........

I often find myself Plowing the front end and thinking, "what the hell was that "......

But you have to remember, in real life you can position your body to counter-act the movement of the bike by moving side to side.........Which would be very hard for JLV to implement into the game without making the bike wildly unstable.

Yes sir, you runnin the same? If we ever end up at the same race, dibs out on runnin the X!

Good observations

My experience is this game has gotten exponentially more fun, enjoyable, realistic feeling, etc the more I play and learn how to "ride" in the game.

So some of your "beefs" may diminish considerably.

On a side note, I think this attitude, of constructive observations and suggestions, is very important to the long term development of the game.

I agree with you here. When I first played the game I almost broke my laptop in half out of anger. Now I am having more fun than ever with it! I still stand by my suggestions so far, but I do see what you mean. This game actually takes weeks of practice unlike MVA where you can be good in a day, I admit it took me a little bit to realize that lol.

[Rallemx]

Awesome! I also run #677!
And yeah I felt like killing someone when I first played this =/
It doesnt really feel like im getting any better now O,o..But still its really fun

Actually, I ran over my sisters dog with my car after 30 min of playing this game..I got so pissed..

and you tell us your not crazy..

all you have to do for progressive throttle is set it up on a controller with analog sticks. Use one for the throttle and you can, let's say, put the stick halfway forward for half throttle, so you not always flooring it.

One thing I can say about the difficulty and control issues in this game is that the controller you use can be huge. I was getting really sick of the wheels washing out, I even made my own suggestions topic that pointed this out (among other issues that were resolved). Just a few days ago I reconfigured my control setup so that I would have an analogue throttle as opposed to the "noisy button" approach. Lo and behold did the laptimes begin to plummet. On tracks that had frustrated me to no end before, I was putting in times just 10 seconds higher than the MXS track records. All that came from the ability to roll on the power out of a corner. And if you think the bikes like to slide now, just wait 'till we get the bigger ones, which have the power to actually go sideways 'round a sweeper.

Oh by the way and speaking of power. A common request has been the addition of 250/450F class, but does the crystal ball have any hints about possible open-class implementation? When and if we start seeing whole bikes developed from the user community (not just models and skins) we will inevitably get some bikes coming in from the days when a 500cc two-cycle was perfectly normal. Though there's little to be put in there now, it would be nice to have that capability for expansion. Just a thought, my opinion is obviously extremely biased.

If you're using an xbox360 controller like I am the left and right triggers are both progressive so you have control over your throttle.

[JETZcorp]

This is my controller. A very bizarre-looking set of handlebars indeed. Lots of dexterity in control, though.

[frederick]

Holy,

I find keyboard so much easier than anything else, its just too much for my brain to handle all the sticks and buttons on a controller.

[Mittocs]

This is my setup if anyone was curious

[stocksy129]

how did you get the wireless 360 controller to work i tried for hours :S

The one I use is the wired one, this was just the first picture that showed up in google images so i could edit it
