Wow...12 days for someone to reply. I'm really shaking my head here. This is bad. Very bad...
Anyway, an update and a (pretty decent) new speed from me :). I've been trying several cars this weekend, but i must say the Gillet and my Supra are the least frustrating cars i've used. Nothing new from the Supra as of yet.

Oh and, slightly off topic, but interesting, did you know that on any session record screen you can press L3, and it will stop the camera roaming around? I found that out accidentally :lol:.

Yeah, I was kinda giving NSX a chance to prove his old-tuner-outraging claims. Didn't work ;)

Anyway, nice improvements, inching closer to the top there! The Supra's ranked third, hope you're still working on it in particular :P

As for the Session Record camera - I found that out somehow, yeah, can't remember why exactly I did L3 in that menu, but there you go :dopey:
I seem to remember pressing something else - possibly R3 - resets the camera location, too. That could be utter rubbish, mind :D

Leaderboard Updated

*ahem* DE... you updated my Supra accidentally. I'm pretty sure the 306.71 belongs to a Gillet Vertigo above... not that i'm complaining! :lol: Did I say something that suggested otherwise?
 
About 1164 I think. The Gillet Vertigo has 1008. And, if that's not enough, the Minolta Toyota has 1223bhp. Want to hear the rest? :)
 
Ahhhh.

Damn it. My fault.

I'll tell you why that was, I'd just got back from a training weekend, so I'd had about three hours' sleep in thirty-six hours of being operational in the field. So whilst it was a really great weekend, I was a bit knackered, and I couldn't see straight due to hayfever either :lol:

Now I've got to try and find the previous Supra speed as well, this could take a while with no date reference to work on :dunce:
You don't happen to know that speed, do you?

I've put the Vertigo speed up, and clocked the Supra one back to 305.00 for now, because I'm pretty certain it was 305.xx. Sorry, I don't have a quick way of finding it now :guilty:

Dark Elite are you in some armed servious? Also I'm getting close on the 300ZX and on the NSX Takata Race Car lol but not quite there. As I have said alot of 🤬 is going on right now. :S

Yeah, I still have the photo here, 305.82, just to save you a lot of time. Though I wish I had managed 306 with it... My holidays start this Friday, so expect an improvement anyway soon. 👍
You would've believed me anyway, wouldn't you? :lol:. Hope you get better soon.

And, Glanza-V, the ZZII breaking 400 miles (I presume you're saying miles), is pretty much impossible, i'm sad to say. I mean, one car HAS broken 400, but not by much, and the driver was using a wheelie. Though wouldn't it be great to see?

-Macca
 
That's excellent, thanks Macca. Lifesaver :P I'll get that put up riiiiight now...

Nah, I'm not in active service, and never will be - this was a cadet weekend. Although we still had just as much fun running around firing rifles at instructors as the army would have :cool:

400mph really would be the day... But I'm not sure I'd call it impossible.
/me looks at MasterStorm being quiet in the corner

;)

DE
 
I suppose my lips must remain firmly sealed as regards just how far away he is these days, but I'm sure we'll all find out soon ;)

Congrats Ty, you've inspired me to use the Audi, and maybe i'll do a Non-Nitrous run when my Youtube account's working. And DE, can I ask something? What's the best speed, on the leaderboard, for PAL version? I looked back heaps of pages, which I do when bored. I'm interested in getting a new Nissan R92CP and Audi R8, which both have 7329 and 7568 miles respectively... I got a 3-week holiday now, so Monday onwards, i'll be using those cars ;)

-Macca
 
...What's the best speed, on the leaderboard, for PAL version?

I'm pretty sure the top three speeds for the ZZII were all done using the PAL version. Other than those, I think its safe to assume that MasterStorm's 359.24mph (Bentley Speed 8) is the fastest of the normal PAL version speeds.

Nice work, Ty!

Seeing as nitrous-equipped and 'natural' cars are classified separately, I can put both of those R8 speeds on the Leaderboard. Despite the video managing to cut out the speedometer throughout the run, I think it's still clear enough to count as verification for a non-nitrous run. This, despite mine doing 302 coincidentally, is the first confirmed non-nitrous Audi R8; so, congratulations ;)

All of MasterStorm's speeds are, of course, done on the PAL version of the game - so they're mostly your targets :P

Leaderboard Updated

Small note for FireFox users - I'm running FireFox 3.0 at the moment, and the 'marquee' at the top of the Leaderboard, the scrolling message saying which Leaderboard is in use, isn't displaying properly for me. I'm just seeing a one-pixel-thick line where the top of the marquee would be. Anyone else getting this? I'm hunting through the code to try and figure it out, because the one at the bottom of the Leaderboard detailing the last update works fine. Oddball.

Same here, just to notify you.

Thanks. And sorry about the speedometer being cut... stupid camera angle. :lol: I figured it wasn't a necessary part of the replay, so I kept it anyway.
 
Okay, thanks Metar, I've put in a random quick fix - basically copying the code for the bottom marquee into the place at the top, and changing the text. I'm on my laptop at the moment, on FF2.0.0.14, so naturally it works on this - but I'll check it out on FF3 tomorrow morning and see. I can't think of a good reason copying what should be the same code into place would make a difference; but then, I can't think of a good reason it doesn't work in the first place, so worth a try ;)

No worries Ty, but just for future reference - we like to have the speedo in shot, because that way we can keep track of any fluctuations in speed that might be caused by contact or a minor wheelie, or see silly bursts of acceleration from cheat codes, etc.

Non-issue here, on FF3.

Awww 🤬. At least now I know PAL users can manage over 350 miles with the Audi and Nissan! I still managed 343mph with 7000+ miles and severe bouncing, so i'm pretty confident... thanks guys 👍.

-Macca
 
Hmm, on FF3 I'm now seeing the marquee at the top, but without all the formatting. Looks like my quick fix worked, anyway, I'll just tidy it up now... All done. Thanks guys.

We'll have to see how it goes with a brand-new one, then, eh Macca ;)

DE
 
Indeed. Just won it then, but will get some sleep now (2.40am here), and i'll work on it tomorrow. I can get the Audi another time, all I have to do is use my black GT-One...no problems at all. Or I can keep racing El Capitan and sell Minolta's for money :).

-Macca

Edit: got 349.73mph with new Nissan...want to make 350, so won't put up a pic yet.
Edit 2: 349.77... 349.87... 350.15!!! The second lowest speed over 350mph, and the third fastest Nissan. Yay! By some coincedence, my speed will be right under your Audi DE :P. I'll try to get the pics and, for once, the video up tomorrow...it's not easy when you can't use YouTube...
 
Thanks. Maybe you will have to update your Audi...i'm getting a new one (yellow of course) as soon as I get the money. Rest assured, i'm not wanting to beat just your speed ;). I just wanted to get over 350mph, as until recently i thought it was impossible...
Anyway, I can post the pics of the Nissan speeds, but the video won't upload here, so i'll do it tomorrow maybe...
Picture1-3.jpg


All those runs were in succession, and with the same setup, just to prove it depends on the corner speed :).

-Macca

Edit: Bought yellow Audi, and I started non-nitrous runs. I'll put that speed up tomorrow as well.
It's over 305...

Edit 2: It had to happen, I just bet your Audi by 0.02mph in 15 minutes. I feel bad now :(. I get the most out of my LMP/Group C cars very quickly. My speeds will surround you, mwahahahaha. Another vid tomorrow, though by then the speed might be better 👍.
 
Ahh. You're just doing this on purpose now... ;)

Nah, seriously, don't feel guilty. I'm just rubbish :P

I've got your quickest sub-350mph Nissan speed on the Leaderboard now, just waiting for the videos ;)

Leaderboard Updated

...
mcsqueegy: Edit reason
Bought Audi...used Audi...humiliated othes with Audi...
Okay, feel guilty. :dopey:

DE
 
Okay, i got the non-nitrous video up, finally, and i'll chuck in the Nissan soon. I won't do the Audi over 350mph, because there is more in it yet...hopefully the link below works. Anybody have advice for Youtube?

...And for my first non-nitrous submission: Audi R8, 301.83 miles per hour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuF9IVDbJN4

Nice work, Ty!

This, despite mine doing 302 coincidentally, is the first confirmed non-nitrous Audi R8; so, congratulations ;)

DE
As you will see, it's humiliating to you guys...sorry :(.

Edit: Here's the Nissan.
http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii39/mcsqueegy/?action=view&current=Nissanmaxspeed.flv
Video's are with my camera, so they're a bit bad, but legible. You might notice with the Nissan I nearly hit the inside wall coming in (I mean literally an inch), I was distracted by my phone going off....

-Macca
 
Hey Congrats all you guys on getting your cars passed 300 w/o nitrous! Last time I was inside this thread must have been about 10 or 11 months ago and we were just trying to make TS020's go extremely fast. Anyways... At about 22 or so seconds into the video, your front tires pop up for a second or two. Now I am not Dark Elite, so it is not my call to disqualify your video, but I'm just pointing it out so you can adjust your front downforce on the nissan before the next run.
