Tell you how to get the optimum gear shifting for ID Cars...
-
Hello Impreza WRX, what i did if i knock onto a wall at say...the speed at gear 5 is 150km/h at akina downhill. If my speed drops until below 140km/h-145km/h, I will downshift to gear 4 and wait until the speed doesn't drops and I still stay at gear 4 until it increases at least 1km/h and above then I directly upshift to gear 5 once it reaches the shifting points of gear 5.
Hehehe...I also see alot of people keep downshift then upshift when they knock into the wall. Don't really understand why they are doing it when their speed is not recovering at all despite all that downshift and upshift.
Oh yah...hehehe...played with a GDB on Akagi uphill and Akina downhill few days ago. I think GDB is much faster than GC8V in pickup and is pretty good in all tracks. Don't know about the weather conditions, but in dry...it is awesome.

GDB's got 6 gears so initial startup should be very good. But I think GC8V is better than GDB in terms of cornering. Anyway GC8V is personally modified by Bunta, don't play play ah.

yah yah... have to agree.... is there anywhere to beat GDBs..... i tried iro and it works.... thats the only map i noe can help me beat....... any others????Originally posted by Impreza WRX:GDB's got 6 gears so initial startup should be very good.

akagi for most turns do it ard 115 to 125 kmh...
of course...take the outer lane then turn at the apex....full turn hor...
shld clear..
btw brake and turn at the same time -
Brake and turn not good way for 4WD. Slow down too much. Should be accelerating and turning.Originally posted by bismarck:akagi for most turns do it ard 115 to 125 kmh...

Brake and turn is alright for RWD. Did this for MR-S and found it to be effective. Not sure about FWD. -
Brake during the turn? it's alright for my R34.. i release my accel before the turn, brake then steer in and then brake somemore during the turn if it is tight..then i step back on the accel when i feel i will clear the corner without eatting wall. The amount which the brake is depressed, how much the wheel is turned, when to step back the accel, is all based on feel and experience on that particular corner. After a while, it comes like second nature. For the pros, they don't even have to think. For the MR cars, braking later than normal is the way to go because of their oversteering properties. I'm not too sure about FF cars as well.Originally posted by Impreza WRX:Brake and turn not good way for 4WD. Slow down too much. Should be accelerating and turning.

I guess maybe R34 is different. But I do feel brake and turn for GC8V is too slow. Furthermore it drops engine power too much because if speed too low, it becomes the wheels that drive the engine. For me, I follow computer way of turning. Brake first before corner, turn and accelerate (how much depend on turn). Besides stepping on brakes causes loss in traction (step more, traction loss more). If you're going down a straight road, it doesn't matter. But if you're turning and you accidentally brake too much, you'll swing out into the side.Originally posted by HIRA:Brake during the turn? it's alright for my R34.. i release my accel before the turn, brake then steer in and then brake somemore during the turn if it is tight..then i step back on the accel when i feel i will clear the corner without eatting wall.

No choice lah, I not so skillful to use the brake well. Only know how to step hard. -
AT has no problems with the first 4 gears (for 5-gear cars) and 5 gears (for 6 gear cars). The problem comes only when the AT shifts to the highest gear, and that is shifting a bit too early.
AT is slower than MT because you need to brake from a slightly further distance. Whereas if you use a MT car, you can downshift and brake at the same time, shortening the braking distance.
Why not manually shift down the AT and brake since the game allows drivers to hit one gear down? If you do so, the AT has a tendency to go even one more gear lower as you corner, resulting in drastic loss of speed. These scenarios can be easily seen and experienced in Irohazaka. -
AT is crap TOTALLY! u cant drag ur car at all and if u try at IRO ur speed will be JAMMED! dun be dumb! even F1 uses manual with 7 speed... even in real life u use AT n race u can go n die ... in ID turn at gear3 normally n tap brake but AT, u CANT! its S*** AT IS jus dumb...... since u like AUTO soooooo much please go drive continental car... and lastly u AINT helping anyone by giving crap ideas of AUTOOriginally posted by parn:Hello people, this is what I know and you can try it out like I do. If successful, please share it on this forum so that others might benefit from it.
It is quite easy lor...you play the same type of car in automatic gear and you just take down the shifting points. That way, you can shift your manual gear exactly the same as the way the automatic gear shifts. I have tried this in Ver2 and it works. I have tried it in Ver3 as well but on an RX-8. I think the shifting points are 2>6000rpm, 3>6500rpm, 4>6500rpm, 5>7250rpm, 6>7250rpm.
Try it for yourselves and share it. And Happy Chinese New Year!
