I'm not actually racing the ghosts now anymore, just comparing times afterwards, the alternative grid position is putting me off my start. I've chased PEs huayra more times than I care to remember lol, I'm not too strong on that map, have a lot of work to do on it!
Of course it isn't necessary, but 100% sensitive allow you to avoid unexpected situations faster, so, you can fix risk situations better, especially when traffic is in the the track. Also it is very important when you need to make a faster direction change, like the start in One:1 cup, where you have to turn left (skipping first ramp), turn right (to get gold bottle) and turn left again really fast (to avoid fall down to the sea). And as you say, 100% sensitivity could be easier to keep under control with tab to screen control.
Ditto the thanks. mhm, he gives a solid response. theres a new break out for iOS8, but im still on iOS7. there is penalty for waiting too long, Apple may block the method with a hotpatch "forced" update, and breaking too early will mean a lot of 3rd party apps will not function properly. i use/save multiple backups and use a backup utility, iBackupBot for iTunes, it saved me several times when iTunes wouldnt/couldnt restore my jailbreak. make the iTunes backup like normal, then use the utility to locate the backup. as an in-between, i copy the folder contents to a 2nd location, since iTunes will often backup.... REPLACING the old one. when I am comfortable, i will upgrade to iOS8, and use the break method. i dont see any benefit from moving to iOS8 just yet, and i am plenty comfortable with my current setup. most likely, when my apps start to push updates that "requires iOS8", ill do it.
No problem. You're welcome. Like you, I don't see a reason to update to iOS 8 just yet because it still has some bugs and slows down even A7 devices. Nice backup utility. I hadn't thought of backing up like that.
I have noticed a tiny bit of lagging in a8 since I went to ios 8, not much maybe only two times in total and one single jump each time so I'm not too worried about it, never had any at all before then tho. It's obviously been designed for the iphone 6, I've noticed other apps and general Internet use being slightly laggy and marginally slower too, much more than a8 tbh. Still have over 4gb storage left so it's not likely to be that either. Cheers for the info on backing up, it's something I've never really done much of so its good to know how to double down on it. Will keep a copied note of your post saved somewhere if I ever get around to jailbreaking
I have my survolt at rank 1129, lvl 3 accel, lvl 1 everything else, and I beat everyone while unboosted and every once in a while I see a fully boosted mini which I 80% of the time beat. And for that post on the what control thing. I use 60% tilt for everything because im too lazy to change it for specific cars. I'm also on a phone so I can do the really sharp short drifts PE does although not as short
anyone using iphone 5, and tap to steer, pls discuss sensitivity & dead zone issues. i hold my phone with the home button on the right; so the speaker remains uncovered by hands/fingers. when i drop the sensitivity below 40%, OR, just from over use, ive got a dead zone on the left edge, by the speaker hole, where nothing seems to register. moving my thumbs inside more covers more of the map.
I'm on iPhone 5 but it's only a 5 month old handset so I haven't overused it yet although I'm sure I'm on the way to doing so, I have wondered about dead zones as sometimes I have to hit the screen 2-3 times to activate brake/drift and nitro although resetting the handset usually fixes it. I still use tilt tho, I did try tap to steer but was useless at it so sticking with what I know. I would change only for playstation controller at this stage and would need to jailbreak first.
Anyone know the furai upgrade cost? Just the total, I don't need a breakdown of each level. I only have around a million credits atm as I've used loads on boosters for multiplayer and TLEs (I'm only on level 40-something in MP so making very little) and maxed another couple of cars recently. I doubt it will be enough but wouldn't mind a shot at the two extra tanks this evening and would try again at the d class for maybe another too, I used 5 on the one:1 and only got 2 back, sitting on 17 atm. Cheers
Sweet, ya I upgraded mine beyond that wayyy back when I was doing campaign mode. I was asking for the stats in regards to the Furai (sorry, i know someone on this thread didn't want to hear anymore about it) But for those of you thinking to get it... level 4 upgrades across the board is near unbeatable (though level 5 nitro might be better, I haven't tried it though)
Yeah, that is me. Mazda, if I ever come across one.... # To the point when GL decided they need real cash for cars I had every car in my garage, therefore all stars and medals, 2600 ep, lvl 85! Unless you pay a lot of money getting 100% progress is out of reach! How much Aeros do they give away to aprox. 550000 players on iOS only, right three! Wow, 100% the guys sitting on top already have one! I think that all cars should be for sale on ingame credits! And that I've been put down competing although I was in a comfortable position winning the Furai is my personal problem. Edit: everybody better get ready for 5 days Zombie Marathon! Does anyone know which track?
The M Car isn't that bad. At stock level, it wrecks all Survolts and cars you're matched with. Adding a tuning kit makes the M Car even better. I can't believe the Zombie Marathon takes place during my school's testing week.
You have to beat the ghosts Dave. I will try and do yours the honour but it is easier to set hot laps without the ghost to distract you but I prefer the feeling of racing than the feeling of setting perfect laps. It seems that there is way to much emphasis put on lap times and not enough on pier to pier racing. No one watches the qualifying at a Grand Prix
dont remember the exact cost, its in this thread somewhere, but just from upgrading it this week, it cost over a mill fully. the 3, 4 and 5 upgrades are hundred to 2 hund each. >_> im almost maxed, using it in the zombie grinder... spent almost a mill just to help win 150k credits and 2 extra tanks >_> dont judge me
Haha I kinda agree but it's just the switch in the starting grid I don't like. And I actually watch more of the F1 qualifying than I do the race these days tho lol I almost matched your huayra lap there, 0.03x or so behind! Still plenty of time left in it too, I bumped a few walls, drifted too long at some corners, and didn't take the last barrel properly. Left myself without enough nitro at the end so was near missing the traffic in the final stretch to make it last. I can't figure out the start either, whether to take out minimum cars and take the first jump or knockdown more cars and boost straight through to the blue under the bridge. Been at it here for about an hour or more lol. I noticed PE has a tuning kit on his ghost, don't think it was there when I last raced it.
Eventually found out it was 1.5m in upgrades after some child/idiot abused me on the fb page for asking lol. As for the judging, you gotta do what you gotta do! I felt a bit like that chasing the collection prizes which were inevitably a fraction of the cost of maxing the cars to get them, apart from the couple of extra tank ones of course I can't bring myself to play those MP TLEs, I really can't stand the format at all, all that checking in every 90 minutes for days on end just doesn't appeal, I couldn't anyway with working full time! The exception was the apex booster one where I was lucky enough to be unexpectedly off work and the 5 extra tanks was a tasty enough prize. I nearly didn't make it too, kept coming up against fully boosted aeros in my 2 boost venom so didn't get as many first place finishes as I'd have liked. Still don't understand why so many people would use extra tanks all day to win 5 back lol!
Didn't even realise that. I have no chance, working all week with no wifi and the competition will be fierce, probably don't have enough extra tanks to win even if I did have the time. Missing out on it by 0.1xx seconds the other day was my big chance and I blew it coz I couldn't execute the glitch properly often enough!
Yes, this is how new cars are introduced now. The first week, the car can be won in either a 5-day division cup or worldwide TLE, and then the second week, it can be won in a 5-day worldwide MP tournament. If they only give out twenty Ones: 1 in this MP tournament (which is what I suspect they will do, as it's such an expensive car), I wouldn't bother even trying to win it, unless you are willing to spend numerous dollars buying fuel refills. There were more than twenty people buying tons of refills just to win the lowly Mazda Furai (some of them lost all their points due to Gameloft's server crashing, which made my job winning it a lot easier), so expect that amount of IAP junkies to quadruple for this cup.
