Drag tunes

[yumadbroski]

its obvious when someone jumps the tree or has lag. its impossible to go as the guy goes ghost, there will always be a milli second difference. i have also seen lag, when i am downloading something on my laptop or watching a video on apple tv, i lag when i race off the tree. i know its going to happen because i see everyone glitching and i know its my internet connection

if lag or jumping happens, you can either redo it or go off time

lets say there is no lag and everything is working fine, the tree is more accurate then time. tree eliminates jumping because no one knows when the guy will go ghost. in real drag racing, there is a numerical value for reaction time. if your bad at it, you will/could lose the race.

if your really serious about a race i say do 3 races off time, and 3 races off tree

as you probably already know, most the fast drag racers online(red line, pro tuning, wolfpack...) prefer going off tree

Oh, our name isn't in the list.....I see how it is broski, en garde!

Maybe there is a good reason why he excluded you...haha just kidding

 

[yumadbroski]

because i know for a fact that if you guys could choose between tree or time, you will pick time

mastakiller and his group is fast too but they absolutely hate the tree


if your bad off the tree, practice and try reconfiguring the button layout on your controller. put the e-brake in a more convenient location then where it usually is

I love to launch by calling 3, 2, 1, go, and then i launch on 2 just to fool everyone.....

 

[yumadbroski]

if its off time i usually go anytime after .5

so if its 20, anytime after 19.5 ill go and usually the car actually launches right at 20 or a little after it

i can gauge how bad someone jumps and ill adjust accordingly. i know people that jump a full second before so on our next run ill jump the same way and we end up launching the same time lol

Yeah thats true, thats what i wrote before. But in that case you have to run multiple times just to "see". That is also time consuming and annoying. Some people launch before the time changes, and some people launches after the time changes. I usually aim to launch exactly when time changes, and hence thats why some people are faster of the line than me, because my car actually starts rolling after the time has changed....anyway.

Second, you both can leave at the same time according to your total time, and still end up different, but that has allready been discussed.

Yup, I do exactly the same. First run a test round and then adapt my launch time.

I've made bad experiences with tree. It happened that the other guy started before the "tree" ghosts. Lag, cheat, whatever.....doesn't really matter. If it's done fair and correct and both sides agree, fine! (But I prefer time)

 

[yumadbroski]

i think one thing some people dont like about the tree is that its out of their control

off the time you have the security of knowing when to leave

That's one part, but there are many other reasons..........

 

[yumadbroski]

if everything is working fine, reaction time would be the obvious reason

others will be lag, internet speed, location....

Yes, but sadly, for me it's the last.

i have ran and seen mastakilla, manta... and his friends

they are so against running off a tree(ghost) its not even funny. they would attempt going off the time 10 times before they do a tree

tell him to man up and run off a tree, the the only fair way to do a serious drag race(reaction time). anticipating time doesnt work

sure their cars are fast but dont mean anything. if their opponent jumps they stop the race but if they jump, they keep going. if they really want to have a drag "showdown", do a best out of 3 both time and tree


off the tree, my enzo has not been beaten.

as for gme, unless you guys re-tuned... your enzo got really slow last week. i think i bumped into you mafia and you know what i mean.(jp and drxxx was in the room)

about legitskillz, i entered his room, i had to tweak the enzo for about 2 mins and he was talking so much crap

when it came down to race, i got him off the line and before we even hit the halfway mark of the tunnel, he quit the race and kicked me out. sore losser

i sent him a message to learn not to talk crap before the race even starts

my enzo is the fastest out of all three of us and i aint been on in almost two weeks but the tune i got right now has not been beatin yet since its creation. If You can beat sammy APR . Chief chief . AJ . J
uan flaco and A1 who is very fast off a tree then your doin good. I know i aint been on in a while but my enzo is still very quick i beat the guy the beat legit lol and im good friends with him to prove that :-) G M E is not slow and never will be , ill be back soon

 

[d24689]

I dont like their mentality either, the fact that people dont want to run from a tree/ghost, and come up with excuses like "im not good with tree" makes everything wierd and useless. We all know the total time flaw, but just beeing plain stupid and ignorant is another thing.

if someone is no good a tree that Means they not ok dude lol get with it if someone has a bad reaction speed and always will then your never gonna find out who is faster because the poor guy cant get off the line! Understand? Yeah sure he can practice and get better but if his eye to hand skills are rubbish Wats he gonna do?

 

[f_399]

i have beaten juancho and flacos enzo but we are pretty much even

your enzo was slow at one point. i overheard in one room you were asking for help with the enzo because you didnt want to post a slow tune on gt planet.

same night you lost to legit... legit ended up losing to someone else after he ran you

good job if you got it faster since then but thats my last memory of your enzo

some people tend over- tune because they lose to someone and end up making it slower then it was

 

[f_399]

you can have a fast car but if you cant drag race(reaction time), whats the point?

if we are trying to play a simulation game, simulating a real drag race, isnt reaction time one of the key factors? hell, be it a street race or drag strip, you gotta have reaction time down lol

there is a numerical value to reaction time in a professional drag race and that could win or lose a race

going ghost isnt the best example of a real tree but its about as close as you can get till they add drag racing in this game

 

[d24689]

Anticipating time is much more easy. Clocktree is pointless, its more distracting then just time/tree. Bad reaction isnt a excuse on drag racing though. Only differance is that you know when times going to change, and you dont know when the other car is going ghost. Even if you release the handbrake before the time changes, your car will launch when time is beeing changed, because it takes like 0.3 seconds for the car to start moving or something like that. It can even differ between reaction time between ds3 or wheel according to different people. Connection issues will affect both the tree and time, but one thing is sure, no one can cheat at tree, thats for sure, and thats whats matters.

Then, no one can really tell if one leaving late or jump, because a single replay from one ps3 doesnt tell the whole truth. It looks slightly different on all ps3 screens though. Thats why people running tree, to eleminate all BS going around.

in reall life drag racing there is a reason why they have red yellow then Green . Not just flippin Green! Could You imagin trying to launch a car off a light that just appears? Wouldn be easy m8 . Im reall drag they know when to go becaus .3 seconds after that yellow light is show time . That why tree timer works . Think of 49.7 seconds is your yellow light when going on 50

Haha, poor guy, if he has bad reaction, he aint suppose to win by time then either. Jumping by time, just because you have bad reaction isnt right. If you play computer games alot, and specially drag racing, then you will gain reaction by time. Otherwise something is wrong.

I still believe that many people are so used by time, and they are used to launch before the time changes, so they are affraid they will losse by tree, because they cant guess when the car is going invisible.

I have beaten many people by tree, wheres they were beaten me by time. I have also seen manny people beat their opponets by tree, when they lost by time.

If its real racing, tree is the only thing that counts for me. What are peopel affraid of? Lagging, tsss, lag will affect everything regardles.

If you just paying attention to the ghost car and are focused, you will launch pretty good. There are many ways to improve your reaction time as well, and that is a part of life.

d2 same night you ran chriscoupe remember? you said he had skid recovery on

he got me by half a car, my front bumper at his door and i had all aids off

yuma i wanna run you too, heard you beat juancho off the tree... seems like its whoever gets the better launch that wins

 

[d24689]

yes Thats all true AJ . after that night i went back to the board and did another tune since then i beat the guy the beat legit and i think ran You but i cant remember lol it was a close race between You n me but i cant remember who won. That night i just beat A1 too he is fast but only just got em lol :-)

 

[f_399]

good stuff! hope to see you online soon, i am kinda getting tired of the enzo lol

would be nice to get all the guys together in one room. its hit or miss with so many guys.

and yes i have ran against masta and his guys, they only go off time which isnt bad if you get a nice even launch but you might have to redo it a number of times

But if you go before the time changes then you jump according to me. We dont have a tree, and try to simulate a tree thru total time is useless. Then people can go like 49.5, 49.5 etc etc, even at 44, where do you draw the line? And thats also the problem, many people leaving early, just because they know the car starts to launch some milliseconds after they release the handbrake. That is still wrong, because many people do release the handbrake after the time changes, thats how it suppose to be. The time works well if there arent any connection issiues/flaws, and when both people leave at the same time, that is when the timer changes to 50, not from 48 to 49.5.

The time works much worse then the tree, because different people jump at different marginals.

yeah he's the reason i re tuned but i didn really need to if i knew he had skid recovery on oh well i got a better tune out of it lol love to run You again AJ

 

[f_399]

for sure d2, we'll eventually bump into each other

time difference is hard

Life is hard, so is the truth.

lol what?

talking about time zones here, not life or racing

i do agree when i do do time i tell my opponent to go on exsactly say 50 and most cases it works great . AJ knows i do try my best to get even launch coz he knows my reaction off tree aint to good. But Thats why i have respect for him because he is willing to go off time for me and most timer its worked great! :-)

 

[f_399]

yeah i have no problem with that. give me my race (tree) and ill give you yours (time)

only way to be fair. i suck at time but ok off tree

 

[d24689]

Haha lol
