This game reminds me of MotoRacer3. I think I'll be sticking to that for now...

Supercross is freaking hard! But after about a week of trying I can kind of follow a line.

I want to get some of that street action and sweet music.

make sure to turn off arcade physics in MXS

I know srsly

He's doing okay after a week, trust me. Being able to complete a lap consistently is honestly the #1 goal to me.

I'm having no problem with the corners, actually pretty quick at them. My only problem is being consistent over the jumps. If it's the outdoor, no problem as its just one jump at a time. However on Supercross it is consecutive. I may be able to pump out a good rhythm section, but then I botch the rest of the lap miserably. It's killing me but I can't quit.

I know how you feel PMD, I also know it's way too addicting to put down. Agreed, the hardest part is the jumps, but once you figure out all the stability settings and how to set up the dampers, the take-offs arn't so bad.

After spending a few nights getting pitched forward off the jumps I realized a setup that doesn't do that is necessary, otherwise its way too busy trying to shift the weight off every jump.

This post really helped.

They work well on both the MX and SX tracks, still working on them though.

I don't know if they will work well for you as it is a very preferential thing, but the jumps are much easier since all you got to do is pin-it in the right gear.

Okay that setup is where more stable than what I had.

Mine was way more sensitive and "loose". Yours I can just throw into the corner and power out. For the jumps, I have zero issues outdoors, but still a couple indoors. I'm no longer plowing the front tire which is nice, just need to line myself up better for the rhythm sections. If you screw up the first part of it, you screw up the whole thing.

Can happily say I got down to a 6.7 at Ekswanbee.

phew thats hard

That link to that wall of text has good guidelines on how to setup the dampers. None of the setups I tried worked out for me cuz' I cant handle those twitchy setups.

The next step is just putting in the hours...

Also the bike appears less twitchy with higher FOV, since there is less relative movement than when zoomed in.

I have tweeked my setup to handle leaning while on the whoops a lot better. Though it wont fix leaning too far. Also it is slightly more twitchy to help stand up out of the hairpins.

Hmm, if only there was that "traffic" mode...

so i managed a whole lap of rabbit hill with a time of 1:21.7 without falling lol

That's nearly 20 seconds off pace lol. As long as you aren't falling you are getting progress.

I don't like looking at my lap times, it makes me try to push too hard and I end up crashing more...

yea, I didnt go as fast as I could have. decided I should go for a lap time before pushing hard. I always wreck over the jumps though dont know why
what bike do you guys use?

The standard 250f. If you use the set he posted and just hit the jumps straight without any form of leaning then you'll be fine.

maybe I'm just taking too much speed?

At rabbit hill that's impossible.

I can't even finish a turn

You're driving the FO8 again?

touché sir

I've tried the setups with the 250f a little, it has more mid-range which boost you off the turns, so you'll have more speed off the jumps than the 125. But its geared mostly for the 125, which you can pin the throttle off pretty much all the jumps at supercross and Ekswanbee.
