Re: SHIFT: Still Playing?

Like Zedex, I've shelved Shift in favour of Modern Warfare 2, but I will probably try it again when the patch arrives. Right now MW2 is such a welcomed change of pace, that the patch really needs to impress if I'm going to become fully active in Shift again.

Re: NFSUnlimited leaderboards

GT3x24x7, myself and several others also have the problem with best laps not being stored. When I'm at the screen where I select which track to race, it says 0.000 on several tracks. If I do a lap and then go back to the screen, it will show the laptime I just did, but it will go back to 0.000 if I ...

Re: NFS Shift World Records Project!

47.3 doesn't seem that unthinkable now. I did massive changes to the setup of my car, to suit Glendale West, and I finally got 47.550. I also posted a time on ISRC. I might test out this application, but I wish it would show the rating of the car. It seems pointless to set a stellar laptime with a G...

Re: Manual clutch without clutch pedal?

I just tried it out with the GT-R SpecV, and it was no problem at all. After just two laps around Road America, I beat my pb. This was however just by about 0.01 of a second. I tried it on a Porsche GT2 as well, but it didn't go too well. It remains a mystery how they were able to drive that fast wi...

Manual clutch without clutch pedal?

I was racing online yesterday with the most competitive guys I've met in this game. There were especially two guys in Porsche GT2s who where mindblowingly fast. They both claimed to have an advantage in using manual clutch and that there's no need for a clutch pedal. This is not a driving technique ...

A perfect shift isn't always a perfect shift. Sometimes you need to rev way beyond "perfect" to get a decent start.

Re: Time of day - makes a diff?

It makes a difference to me....but only because I've been foolish enough to use shadows as braking marks :D When I drive online, the host might not use daytime, and as a result I struggle in several corners.

Two flying laps at Brands Hatch GP with my 13.98 GT-R SpecV. First lap 1:22.0 the other 1:21.8. I'm quite pleased with this run. Not only is it two of the very best laps I've ever done on this track with this car, but they came in succession. Added to that, is the fact that I have my right arm in a ...

Re: Car Setups: new site feature, testers needed

It looks fine to me.

I'm going to set out to make myself a decent sub-10.00 car within the next few days. I have no idea what car to use, so this might become several hours of fun trying to find the best car and configuration of upgrades, or it might become several hours of extreme frustration.

Re: help!! looking for best car

I would say that GT-R SpecV upgraded to right below 14.00 is the best all-rounder. I don't remember exactly which upgrades I omitted, but I remember it made a world of difference when I got the weight reduction and took away two other upgrades.

No, not a boycott. If a car is tunable, then I want to find the best possible setup. With the current bugs, this is simply not possible. This is why I'm just chilling with other cars right now.

There seem to be several issues with cars that are upgraded to Works. I've stopped using these cars in anticipation of a patch that fixes these issues.
