Control has nothing to do with this proble
Post by tx3000 on Jul 30th, 2003, 2:04pm

I have all ready sent this message to two people but I'm going to post it here as well just to get other input

Everyone must remember how I kept having problems with the FC. Well, Last night I completed the Champ track 10 times in a row. The odd thing with this situation is is that no matter how slow or fast or how I'm turning I slammed into the same exact spot on the same exact walls evry single time I wasn't off slightly. It was the exact same spot. i didn't notice this before but after last night I recall that I kept hitting the same 2 walls. Which is why I'm having so many problems with my times. I can take tcorners around the entire track up until I hit the left dash plate and then it happens. I can get around this track in 0'18"40 easily but after that I always lose all of the time I gained Due to the fact that I always hit the same spot on the same 2 walls. What's the deal with this anyway? I'm beginning to think my game is glitched. It would be one thing if I hit the same 2 spots every so often, but not every single time no matter how I turn or how fast or slow I'm going. Aside from controlling the vehicle better Does anyone have any ideas about how to avoid this?

Learn where to start drift turning on that turn (practice), also blast turning a lot will help. When you get good you can tap A less and less.

10 times is no where near enough to get the techniques down for a particular track. You'll just have to play more, simple as that. The strats on the main site will help alot, and knowing how to drift turn is essential if you want to get good times on Championship.

i dont know if you knew. In title screen and wait for 2 minutes... There are helpful explain demo for you that show the control button while computer's car moving and turnning...look at control button... Just start with Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Queen, then Chapionship. Rememmber Chapionship wasnt easy track as Pawn. And remmeber press B for BRAKE!!!!!

Instead of waiting 2 minutes press select!

Webmaster note: fixed quoting error.

I figured out what the problem was and fixed it
Nito was right I was drift turning to early or to late!! Thinking if I did it too early, then I should do it later. If I was doing it to late, then I should do it earlier. The problem was is that when I was doing it early I did it to late and when I was doing it to late I started doing it too early. But as I said before that I corrected the problem. However it is strange that I managed to hit the same spot on the same 2 walls every single time this happened
As for waiting for 2 min or pressing select at the main screen to see the tutorial, I've known about that since the game first came out. But thanks anyway.
BTW if you press select and then press start, then press select again, you will see the tutorial on a different track done with a different vehicle. You can see the first 4 vehicles doing this

P.S. Finally got JV Unlocked
Method I used: Completed Champion 255 times
