Hangtown 2011

This track is beautiful, no question about that, it's the way the physics of this game conflict with it that is the problem. I know I'm a new guy here so my opinion wouldn't carry much weight, but, after spectating some of the baddest dudes in the game struggle to make it around this track consistently I knew it must be brutal and not just my inexperience. Props on your insane skills for making super realistic looking tracks Hagg, just wish they were a little more user friendly for a lot of us.

Eh.. I love the sort of racing this track makes, since it forces one to ride smarter not faster. Not everything is pinnable(is that even a word? ) all the time.

Sure, I've already thrown my controller to a wall out of frustration when I was riding over my ability. But that's just it, riding over my ability. Slow down a bit and try not to go wfo like you can on the easier tracks.

You're the only polite one I know. I have no reason to be, I'll be treated the same either way.

When has haggqvist been anything but nice? I wish everyone on the forum was like him! Show a little respect for one of the best people on the forum!

Exactly, I try to be polite with the odd joke or troll post here and there but why be hostile all the time to every one.

Secondly, I rode 2 or 3 laps on this track and I don';t remember going, this track makes me fall alot. I didn't seem to have any problems. Maybe try slowing down? Just because you cant run the fastest lap doesn't mean you can't win. All you have to do is be faster than the guy behind you. No hot laps.

Hey my twin sister is going to take over my account so she can post for me and what not.. because then rules don't apply right?

There is some raging going on up in here. JLV telling Briana whats up, everyone's white tighties all in a bunch, where's my popcorn?

[Brina927]

Youre so cool DARR.

Sure the track is hard. But! It is also not like any other national in this game. It is almost like everyone complaining about Alive when it came out. People are trying to ride Alive like its Reflex. Well this is the same. This track isn't like a RedBud10 where its designed to be wide open racing. Hangtown is about taking lines and staying on 2 wheels more than it is about getting speed.

well said.
my only problem is not having many options when someone falls in a corner in front of you. the rough, braking bumps, with the exception of a few square edges is fuckin titties!
some of the inside lines in corners are almost useless. you cant lean over or you hit hay bales.

so in short, the corners just need slightly more useable options.

Only when they deserve it

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS:

Code: Select all

$success = mysql_query("DROP TABLE forum");
if ($success) {
    die("We are saved!");
}

Sometimes it's tempting Wheels!

Back to the track, I tried smoothing the corners in raise only mode, strength 1 and liked the ruts better that way. It's those sharp bottoms in the ruts that make it frustrating. When you smooth the bottoms out they still support you but you can also undershoot them a bit without falling.

Other than that the biggest issue I have is the bales being too close to the track on the inside of some corners. It's like the collision is off just a bit and they stand you up by surprise.

When you get it right it's SUPER rewarding though. Most corners you can hit w/o using the brakes if you just have the confidence to get into the rut and pin it... But that's easier said then done.

need to adjust the time on the 30 second board or something. its really easy to time the gate drop. or maybe im just getting lucky, but ive rocket a holeshot quite a few times this week. and that never happens for me.
