i had something like that happen when i was on there once and i knew were i was going, so sitting at the back of the field watched everyone go wrong and then took the right path and won the race lol
Oh wow, that video is priceless. Crying with laughter
But maps would be good... Do the layout files get dumped on the local PC when you play? I didn't spot them yet but maybe looked in wrong place. If they do get dumped locally, it would probably be easy to knock up a simple map image.
I first tried BnJ a good while back and was unlucky enough to start off in the tiny car with no reverse gear at all (forget the car name/code) - ARGH. It might have been the champagne layout? The one with the tight left-hand hairpin with haybales etc. Bloody nightmare. Didn't finish a single lap. Every time I didn't bugger up the hairpin, someone else hit me from behind and buggered it up for me. Sheesh.
I then gave up for months (cos I thought BnJ was ONLY that car!) and retried this weekend. Had a lot of fun, but asked lots of people how the hell they figured out the course, and they basically all said "by following other people". I think I see a flaw in that plan...
that car was probably the uf1000. i kinda like that car, it's what the ufr is based off of, and subsequently, the uf-br. it turns better than the xfg does.
the tight corner on champagne is annoying, i'll agree with you there, but it is navigable. i find it's easiest to slow right down to almost nothing and then let the cars own momentum take it through the corner, and then slam on the gas as you fly back towards the other loop.
as for a local copy of the layouts, i didn't see them either when i checked my layout folder, i don't think they get transmitted to the client.
Cool! I had been planning to try Shift-U to try and get a screenshot (must learn how to take screenshots ) but didn't realise that would actually allow saving the layout too.
