Metallica530 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Alright, as a good bit of you know, I've been trying to get into any event hosted on Sim Monsters since Fall Madness II, and the only thing that's keeping me from running in events is Racing. From looking at qualifying boards of my recent qualifying runs, I'm about 3 tenths off of the bottom qualifier for the field. Does anyone have any tips to help me pick up about 4 tenths so I can start making it into some of this stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavySonicShell Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Practice turning, that's the biggest part of racing, It take a lot of time to figure out how to slide the truck right, especially if you are using different trucks in every league.

Pretty much that, what i usually do is: front and rear steer turned into the turn, let go of rear steer and guide through the turn with the front and tap the gas through out the turn, you should only floor it on the exit of the turn.

raptor660f700 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I dont think monster jam cod could have said it any better......... Although Im not the best I feel like taping the gas on the turns and using just your fronts is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonsterJam2008 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Use a controller or wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Hopkins Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Use a controller or wheel. This is unnecessary........ More people then you think are very competitive with a keyboard, these objects will NOT shave .3 off a lap time alone if the driver has no clue how to actually drive the trucks. If your a mark Colleneri it will help if not dont drop the 30+ bucks for something you dont need. Your going to have to learn how to rotate the truck mid corner while carrying a ton of speed through the middle off. I used this to help Luis Lebron and Ben when they were new, maybe it can help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usm-9LtQe-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkproductions Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I used this to help Luis Lebron and Ben when they were new I completely forgot about that video lol Why does it say it was uploaded today when it was over two years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaniac Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hey met, its Titan. (Yes that titan) Think about where you can go fast and when your getting to a turn, slow and go as fast as you can without spinning or hitting any turn cars. Trust me i know you can do it. It took me FOREVER because of the controls I have but if i can do it, i know for sure you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallica530 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think a chunk of my problem would be the exit of the turn. Always kinda washed out a bit. See that's one thing about these things: it's not like an old kart racing game where you just mash the gas and go, you got a million different things going on at once. As for the wheel/controller thing, I may find a PS3 controller mapping to mess around with, as I've been on Play Station consoles for years, and seem to be at least decent at driving with the controllers.

Titaniac Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Another thing is, making sure your ok with your trucks handling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterjamcod0329 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 If you need help setting up the ps3 controller, I can help you set it up and then send you the mapkey I made for motion joy. What I like best about the ps3 controller, it has the same steering speed as a keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
