Hello.

Don't know if this is the actual right plasce to post this, but I need some tips for XFG @ BL2.

I use a PS2 joystick, and can do 1:14's high, however got mid 1:14's once. However, most of the guys can do 1:12's (which is probably the maximum range for my PS2 joystick, If I want to go beyond that I might need a wheel). How can I get to those times?

Attached is a replay of me doing a 1:14.9 in my free time (HLVC Verified).
See what I'm doing right and wrong, and I'll try to fix that.

Thanks in advance,

Danny.

You used a joystick. Don't do that. Buy a wheel.
In fact that i am very slow this is the best tip that i can give you

Edit says : and buy S2

Quote from Ger Roady :

Buy a wheel.

If u don't want to spend money for wheel (but there are many excellent wheels, with reasonable prices) try "kb" or mouse, but they want a lots of practise for good times/pb's .. especially kb ...

Joystick is for Pacman

first of all, he have to change the controller... I can't imagine S2 + Joystick !?

try to get better setup for the track...I havent seen the replay but over 6 seconds after some practicing is quite a lot... or watch wr...that sometimes helps me quite much
and use mouse instead of joystick (if not wheel)...you wont feel like driving a spaceship

I've played your replay to check if there's something wrong with your racing line but there's much bigger problems than just a racing line...

1. Use manual gearbox
2. Why do you use ps2 joypad if you don't use advantages wich it gives you?

Try not to steer like: forward then full lock then forward and full lock...
Maybe you need to calibrate your controler or just learn to turn more slowly.
Fastest ps2 joypad BL2 racer is Barn - ask him about using this controler. (He's quite friendly. And you can tell him that I sent you to him for help)
Usually he's racing at [AA] Rallycross GTI server.
If you'll get everything from above try next step wich is proper racing line.
Try this example: http://www.lfsworld.net/get_spr.php?file=28151 (It's my hotlap)
Save it to LFS\data\spr
On this track it's very important to know where to change gears. Learn it from my replay.
I'll try to find a setup for newbies on bl2/xfg (it's not any shame to use it because fast racer can make a really fast time with it. really)
