Laff. :) Do you have a better setup for Rbr? I am playing on an Xbox controller. :| And 640x480 with everything turned down. Andrew MacPherson wrote:

I think it's safe to assume most rec.autos.simulators regulars have a computer which can chuck out RBR at a higher res and with more eye candy than that and are using a medium to high range, either analog or force feedback wheel/pedal combo. And, yup, a majority here can probably lay waste to that time with the Skoda. Nice vid tho'. Jan. =---

:) But I do okay with the controller. How is your time on the Rally School course? Andrew MacPherson wrote:

RBR isn't even on my PC at the moment, and my limited seat time is usually spent in GTL at the moment. Although I love RBR as a sim, rallying isn't really my thing, with only the clock to race against. I'm also scared of trees. Well, I love trees, I just don't love them enough to kiss them regularly at 120kph. Andrew McP

Looking in my files I see a rally school replay at 1:26. I guess that was when I first passed. Since then I have spent most time on the Finnish stages where I at least have gone negative. What kind of times are you getting there with the controller? You should get a wheel. It's lots more fun. I have a Logitech DFP. Works very well for RBR on the PC. Drew

First stage in Finland right now is at 4:12 something. Its not good and I been trying but those turns are really sharp.. I could make 4:08 easy but I keep screwing up a few feet before the finish line. What are your times there? [email hidden] wrote:

Now I can make Rally School in 1:18.63 :) Those Ice maps are a good help for finer gravel handling. Makes you more prone to slide the car sideways before the corners which is good. [email hidden] wrote:

My times for these stages are better (compared w/ default "record" times) than on any of the gravel or tarmac stages. I tried using the paddle shifters for a while but found out that I liked the stick shift better. Maybe it's not as fast but it's more fun, one hand on wheel, one on the stick. Also, I never use the handbrake. That's a disadvantage but using it seems too easy and also a bit unrealistic since it's just a push button. Are you using the manual transmission? I don't think you'll ever get a very good time with the automatic transmission. And how can you do left-foot breaking with a controller? Drew

:) I am faster than you on Kaihuavaara with the controller. 4:12.63 Hehe Left foot braking with the controller? If you have the Xbox controller you just hit the left trigger while holding down the right... [email hidden] wrote:

I've probably got about 30 years on you, and this is the first video game I've played since tetris. Anyhow, you might be interested in this: http://www.swedishsimracers.com/rbr/index.cfm ,the RBR ranking. Download some of those replays and see how it's really done. (But you'll need the PC version of RBR, I think.) Drew

http://www.bhmotorsports.com :) Thats where the fast stuff is at. Hehe Drew man... You have a wheel!!! I thought wheel guys are suppose to be better than the controller boys. :P [email hidden] wrote:

Doesn't matter if it's done by a wheel or a Thumb Driver. The basic skills of interpretation and reaction still must be present. Heck you could strap me into a full blown cockpit and I'd still be just a shade faster than molasses. dave henrie Now if yer talking IMMERSION, well then, ain't no contest. Wheel blows a thumb pad away. Especially those nifty neat thumb pads that blow air on yer palms or buzz. Wonder what that is for? dh
