Title: I can murder all of you guys on track I bet
Post by: theyellowfury on October 11, 2017, 06:16:46 PM
That is hyperbole and clickbait and not true but the good news is I think I cracked it at twenty past four last night on the Spa circuit, which I knew pretty well already. I was cagey about buying the full game as you can see if you read my first post
http://forum.piboso.com/index.php?topic=5308.15
And I got some very useful help there. I was doing well on a moto3 last night and decided to try something more crashy. Well by that time I had started the very necessary process of becoming able to think 2 turns ahead, the way you do and 420 seconds past twenty past 4 I was blitzing the track (and crashing some) on the cbr1000. I made a vid of it.

Its not that I don't want to embed it properly, its that I don't care enough. Anyone is welcome to re-embed it properly in this thread.

Great so anyone on GMT wanna race? I haven't been able to join an online race successfully yet, it always says 'bike missing' but if anyone wants to friend me on steam and bring me up to speed I'll be able to give you a run for your money. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197983992700/

Get all the bikes and jump into a server with people on. Was on last night with others and will probably be on this evening, not sure what track or bike yet though.

So a bet, how much will you give to charity if I can beat on track then ... ?  ;D

Cool, I'll keep an eye out for you guys. Lets leave the betting til we know how good (and/or poor) we all are. And I always use manual anyway ;) Not sure if I'll be around tonight cos I have something to do but chances are..

I've been on a lot(11pm to 4am GMT) and I'm always up for a race. I'm not great but I'm to the point where I can do multiple laps without crashing. Sad to say however that I can't use the cockpit view; I tried a server that required it and was impossible for me.

Oh Hey. Well I refuse to use the cockpit even though it is more fun. if there's a tactical advantage in a game I take it. I have a tactical piece of electrical tape marking the crosshair on my monitor for ark  ;D

I would love to join in! I'm no champion but I could use some getting used to doing laps with other bikes around me.

I do ride and race always in cockpit view, even if others use 3rd. You can be as competitive as anyone in 3rdP if you know well the track.  ;)

I don't care about cockpit view, I will always refuse to use it. The only way I ever would, would be if I had feedback from my momentum et al. Its not there in the game or any other so obviously its chase cam or needless difficulty.

Your cockpit view settings are very important. I would not be able to ride first person with the default settings as well.

I do not like the cockpit view either.
i like to see the motorcycle and react to it. 8)

if a few people want to drive the cockpit view, they should do it. :P
I can wait to race again to be driven with a motorbike view. ;)

Riding in 3rd person is not real at all so why scream to have this and that in GPB to make it a real sim and then ride from behind a bike that is totally unrealistic???

Sorry but 3rd person belongs in GAMES not a real simulation.

Just saying as its up to what anyone wants just my 2 cents worth lol

If you want to let this simulation game drive only in cockpit view, you will soon realize that many people will turn away from the game and you will drive alone with a few people in a circle.
even so, you can make a simulation game broken.

GPBike would disappear into nirvana.

Fin I saind just my 2 cents worth, just my opinion. What you say is too true as many have problems with 1st person thats why I dont hold ONLY 1st person races. I will hold some for those who want it though but I prefer to have it for all to make all happy

I cant get used to 3p camera :-( I have always played onboard cams even in old games. What I love in GP Bikes is 60dgr FOV, thanks to it I can see properly what close to me - big help in close racing. I was never competitive enough to fight for best times so I don't care if others play 3p.

+1

I would add that playing driving on a screen is not real, the only real is in the reality, if you want drive a car or a bike or anything else you must do it in reality.
We must do compromise in a game as even it is as realist as gpb.

I use 3rd person.. cockpit too.. depends on my mood lol. i love the physics etc but im not a die hard sim racer.. i simply appreciate the bike handling and enjoy trying to control the simulated bikes ..
