More questions from the frozen one.

Post by articwolf01 »

Well if you dont get the topic, My name game name is snow puppy... wait... wrong name... i mean articwolf. Got a couple questions for the pros out there and video makers. So i got the game and its hella fun, problem is, i always tuck the front end. Would you recommend buying a controller (xbox) or stick with the keyboard? What are the pros and cons to each? Now for the video makers, What program do you guys use? like fraps.... or..... thats really the only one i know... Last question is what program do you use to video edit?

Thank you for your time in reading this forum and i hope you have a lovely day..... Awkwardness just rose to a new level. hahaha :D

Sorry if its in the wrong topic. I can always copy paste. :P

I would definitely reccomend using a controller, but to be honest it's all personal preference ;) Kawa used a keyboard for the longest time, he might still, and he was competitive in the 2010 supercross series.

MY opinion:
X360
pros - throttle/brake/steering control, if you can get it figured out, you can get the triggers on seperate axes.
- can press more than 3 buttons at a time (not that you really need to ;))
- feels much more natural than a keyboard

cons - the joysticks can be a bit touchy and you may need to manually sset the deadzone in your config file (which i had to do=/ )
- takes getting used to, in the whoops mostly i have noticed.
- uses a USB port (only have 3 on laptop, usb hub broke :() <----joke :lol:
If you get a wireless one, you may have to buy an adapter, which still may not work, my brother bought one, still doesn't work.

keyboard
pros - ask me in another 6 months :lol:

cons - it's a keyboard...

for recording, I personally use the script for avi recording (it's stickied in the "scripts, software, and other stuff" thread) as fraps drops my fps to around 3, no shaders or anything enabled..

video editing, again, all personal preference, I use windows movie maker because it's free :lol: but some people use Sony vegas pro, or some other thing...
