MX Simulator

Hello, I have been playing the demo for this game for about 5 day and seem to have got it down pretty well. The only thing I'm having issues with is that every time I get air, the front end dives. I have tried many things to try and fix this but with no luck. I was hoping you guys could give me some pointers. Is there any bike settings that affect this? Or is there a certain technique to fly straight?
Thanks!!!

you get used to it...basically what i do is let off a little on the face of the jump and then pin it at the take off. sometimes on jumps that kick my front end up a lot ill let off a little on take off and tap the rear brake to level out the bike. i had the same problem as you when i started playing. after a while you get used to it and figure out what to do and what not to do. keep at it...its worth it!

and if you want to keep it pinned you can shift 1gear up right before you take off. It helps not so much as what soc-monki said, but it's helping a bit.

You'll eventually get to a point where it just comes natural, throttle control, when to blip it, when to chop it etc... comes with practice just like real life. Think about how you approach a jump on your real bike, it's much the same way on here.

another thing that will help, is if you lean forward a bit on the face, and then let go of rider lean right at the lip. It's like a tug on the bars. it depends on the jump whether it kicks you nose up or nose down though, just like irl

Doing that is actually pushing on the bars because your rider is going from a forward position to a neutral position.....

Make sure your front rebound damping is a lower # than your rear rebound damping..... Front:40, Rear:65 is a good place to start.

Actually, if you time it the same as a pull back it works as a small pull back as there is a spring force that is needed to hold the rider in his central location, thus resulting in a lighter pull back on the bars as you leave the face of the jump.

Yes it takes force for him to move from the forward position, just so long as you time it right that he is reaching the neutral position right as you'd want to pull back it is a lighter version of just pulling back off of the face.

The advice I can offer is what I see my friends do when the try MX Sim. And that is hit jumps while on the rev limiter up the face. LOL. Make sure you are at a low enough RPM that the bike is pulling hard up and off of the face. Really with the back off and brap up the face method that's all you're doing. So if you want to keep it pinned just grab another gear and let that bike pull.

trie and rasing your rider mass debution

I find that one of the easiest ways is to just lean back at the base of the jump and continue leaning back until you are comfortable in the air. It is much easier the tap the brake in the air to bring your front end down than it is to do a panic rev to bring the bike back up. But be careful because if you lean back to early it will just buck you up to the front and you will dip again.
