I think headsets usually have a volume control, try fiddling. :confused:
 
I bought this head set today, http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=12;6;407;-1;82&sku=239075#anchorSynopsis

Its not very good, I can barely hear the other people speaking on NFS and when I do hear them speak I don't have a clue what there saying.

Thats £30 payed for a useless item :(

take it back and get this one http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=907913&WT.mc_id=101689
i have one and they are great.


You were probably afraid I was going to end up in your back seat! :lol: I was getting on my own nerves just watching it.



You mean Donington right?

When I use the H pattern shifter I do that at least once a race. The gear slots are so close together!

yea sorry donington i keep getting mixed up :lol:

donny race video coming up SOON.
 
There are settings for the headset in the menu on the PS3, go to settings and you will find an option to increase/decrease the volume of the headset.

Hmm, I was in second place on the back stretch when PSN/EA kicked me off. I don't remember getting bumped and can't watch these videos just yet. I'll watch 'em tonight and let ya know if I accept your apology! :sly:

BTW, because of the amount of practice I put in on the RSR and Donington, I'm really needing to complete that race even if it doesn't count for the weekly league points. I'd love to get a lobby going with about 5-7 of you...

I am in what time ??

And today i introduced my self to the ccx and my god what a beast as soon as the turbo lag comes away the torque throws the rear wheels out and the 225 mph top speed is an added bonus.
It is so hard to keep on the track but for some reason that is what makes this car so appealing to me i cannot stop driving it later i will try an RT tune but next time i host that is with out a doubt going to be the car i choose as a manufacturers race so beware people beware :lol:

Jaysus! Cover the young!!!
I'd be up for a race at Donington in the RSR sometime as well Maybe less laps though. :)

I'll post the video from the Cosworth race here very soon Just waiting for part 2 to upload

I played the CCX with bbcnascar and NC_2_VA and could only describe the powerband of this car as "diabolical". You can't be anywhere near the throttle mid-corner.

Tried that, its up full, still quiet.

Will have a look for that in a minute 👍

take it back and get this one http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=907913&WT.mc_id=101689

Will do if Steve's suggestion doesn't work :sly:

Great so you managed to split them i tried to use a free trail editing program but couldn't convert the format for YouTube but luckily i found the software for my camcorder and that had a video splitter on it.

try it but take it back if it dont work i hate the deal with ps3 headsets IF IT DONT WOK DONT BLOODY MAKE AND SELL IT!!!!!!!
i had 4 headsets before if found the rite one all ranging from £15 to £40
and all were crap 2 just did not want to work at all and 2 were so bad in sound quality i could hear nothing but hissing and crackling on heavy lobbies.
But then i got the Sony one and i have no have a pick of bother since, good sound quality excellent battery life, it has a mute and mic feature and comes with a handy little charging stand and the ear clip hold the mic were its needed.
and that is a knock down price i paid almost £40 for mine not 3 months ago :ill:

HOG, I know why you put the music with that one... you were afraid to offend our ears with all the swearing! :lol: Why does the game give you a penalty for going wide on a corner? Isn't going wide penalty enough? That's bizzarre! :odd:

You know I'm in... 👍 What time?

Great so you managed to split them i tried to use a free trail editing program but couldn't convert the format for YouTube but luckily i found the software for my camcorder and that had a video splitter on it.

I use Windows Movie Maker. It comes with the Vista OS and it's pretty easy to use.
 
I dont know manny it does it every time on online races i go wide i get punished dam ea and the music got added on by mistake and i lost the original video when i formatted my camcorder so i am stuck with it


EDIT
are we allowed to use the racing line ???? i thought it was an assist
 
I dunno.
I asked Manny earlier in the thread and didnt get a clear response.
I'll turn it off if you tell me how to.

It's really up to the members of the League.

I know enough about the racing line to know that it doesn't help the more experienced drivers who know the fast line, but it does help the newer guys who haven't had a chance to get to know all the tracks.

I personally don't care, but I'll go with the majority on this one...

I dont care either i was just clearing it up :) its strange how the line does not work in the slightest but yet its called the best line, fair enuf if it was called the racing line because that would mean its just a line that will get you round and not necessarily be the best line

I've went just barely wide and had my outer wheels skim the curb and been penalized the 5 seconds, that's truly bizarre, and kind of a pisser. It was only on one section of a certain track which I'm failing to remember. If I do go wide into the grass and stay on the throttle I get the 5 seconds, but if I'm not heavy on the throttle, I don't..

Manny, The-HOG and whoever else.. I'll send a message when I can convince the wife that I deserve some PS3 time.. I've been on the PS3 a lot lately.

Watched the video, no harm no foul. Thanks for posting these!

Count me in femki, I got booted on that race and would love to tackle it again. Just let me know when.

Got my 15 in at Donington with Manny and arvore, BUT that doesn't mean that I won't race that track/car again!

Arvore, great battles on that track, you were faster in some spots and I could make ground on you in others which made for some seriously heart-pounding racing.

NITROVIOUS and I have been trading fast lap times in the BMW 135i on the Donington National track for a week, so I've had lots of practice on it. Compared to the stock 135i that Porsche practically drives itself! I'm really starting to like that car. :)

Hi guys,
I won't be availble this saturday,so can some one host for me?Thanks

No problem. I'll host for you. 👍

Yeah it was pretty intense nice close racing for whole 15 laps...:scared:...it was very funny and Manny beat us so hard:bowdown::cheers:

If the guys want I'll turn it off. It just lets me know where unfamiliar tracks go as I don't get time to practice during the week.
:)

Like i Say i dont mind mate, i was just clarifying it, personally i think the racing line is a hinder really i find the overwhelming feeling to follow it and do what it tells me and i find my lap times decrease rapidly :scared:
 
I hope that the League members have practiced the London Royal Mile and the Tokyo Circuit few times. Darkos picked the tracks this week and they are both fun tracks, but diabolically difficult.

There are a few good places to pass on the Tokyo Circuit, but the Royal Mile is one where we are all going to just have to wait for the guy in front to crash to move up. :lol:
 
:)I know i'm going to get lapped but i refuse to drive the Zonta in that last unrestricted race...i'll probably go with the F1...:dopey:
 
:sly: London Royal Mile is more like Monte Carlo GP, there is no room for anything but luckily in Shift race is not decided during qualify run.

And as for practice, well you can always count for me Manny 👍, i will do every thing that is in my hands and toes to try secure championship, which is still not decided. :sly: Thats why i forced my self to switch Zonda R for Lambo
