geeze you guys raped this thread with posts while i was sleeping. haha. i love it! good to see we are staying active and friendly with each other. as soon as PSN is up i'll give Remi a tryout. I'm sure he'll make it in seeing as he fits in so well with us. same with thunderjolt.

in other news, i absolutely LOVE my fc. the gear ratios may need to be shortened up a bit...but other than that it's perfection. i encourage everyone to try it 👍

does anyone have a good tune for the S13 out of the dealership? i cant seem to get enough torque to pull out of tight corners like on Tsukuba. it's sad because the S13 is one of my favorite cars...maybe i just need to mess with gear ratios.

Turn the first LSD choice up for about 3-10 points, that helps anyways, also it gives u lots of style with more wheelspin and higher manouverability(Angle), More smoke.

Then just use high rpm turbo if u drift like me(having one main gear, the below one for thight turns and high revs all the way. Usually gears 3 and 2.)

I'll be sure to try her. Although I prefer the FD. Shame I can't whack a 20b in it.

sounds like you and i have very similar styles. 3rd is my main gear and i sometimes dip down into 2nd for tight corners. it's just a hastle to shift mid-drift because the gas pedal is messed up on my wheel and it doesnt shift unless i'm completely off the gas (sometimes the gas pedal sticks and it goes into neutral when i shift). so i try to avoid that.

i'll try the LSD adjustment though. i normally go 10, 60, 60 on the diff

Some Pictures I took because I felt like it
Hope you like them and any Feedback would be great. Also keep the feedback constructive. I don't want "it's good" or "it's bad" I would like to know why so I can improve. Thanks!

Pictures look good but exposure seems a bit high on some. Also a wing on an m3... Really

 

[JWalker841]

i think they are lookin pretty good, but some of the camera angles arent realistic. like a real photographer wouldnt stand directly in the middle of the track while a car was drifting at 60mph to get a photo. hahah.

but they are looking really good.

I wanted to keep the Exposure on 0. Didn't want to make it too Dark or Bright. Hell yeah a wing on an M3! xD

 

[im_remi]

Protip: Use higher exposure and effects, then dont ever use full focus, unless its really close pic and worth it.

Check this pic i made, i've been making pictures since i got the game and im far from perfect, but this is probably my favourite one:

The main trick was to move back alot, then zoom in alot, all else was pefection by alots of practice


Oh and lowering exposure is worth only with a black-white pic.(through the filters)

Pic made on Suzuka, my current favourite track overall (L)

 

[Meerly a cat]

Come on PSN. We could all be drifting together the now.

 

[im_remi]

I may get to use my g25 over the 2 years when the PSN comes back (A)

FINALLY GET RID OF THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING AND A DS3 -,-

Still have to find myself an power adapter for it tho.. :/

Which is why I took those camera angles. Can't you have a little fun while taking a picture.

I did try a few pictures but I don't prefer zooming all the way in. I'll try it in my next attempt. I think my Focal Length was at 11 when I took these.

I just have to share my PS3 Background with you guys.

 

[JWalker841]

haha true. if you are going for a good in-game look then those camera angles are fine. if you are looking for realistic photos then try getting angles like in remi's pic. which, by the way, is a very nice picture

i think my favorite picture of yours, thunder, is the one of the FT from the front when it isnt drifting. it looks really nice

We, mah buddah, we.

 

[JWalker841]

[thunderjolt]

Your Midget is no match for my Mercedes SLS in Mid Flight and my LBP2 Character! =D

 

[im_remi]

I have planned buying an nsx and doing a replica of a red one my friend owns, he uses it for grip tho :/

Well ... last time i planned that i ended up buying a Ferrari California and Doriftoing it.
