This is really good! I'm always afraid to hit others, when battling for position, and I usually end up making mistakes.Whiplash wrote:Wow, no need to scroll down to see all damage incidents.

I knew you were going to try that on the inside, but still couldn't stop it, well doneCarlos Sainz Jr wrote:

That happens because of the race ping. Sometimes it's higher so you see cars' positions on the track refreshed few milliseconds later, and it feels like you're hitting invisible objects. If you check the server's replay video, you will probably not be able to see that happening. The only way to fix that is to make car pattern smaller, but then it would look bad - cars would overlap each others too much.Carlos Sainz Jr wrote:Ah, I noticed that it happens that the game counts small front-rear contacts on straights even if there still is a bit of space between cars involved. It wouldnt be weird if that happens everytime there's the same distance, but it is not like that, it's kinda random tbh. Sometimes I can even stay more closer without any problems, sometimes I push someone. And that's a problem for who wants to take maximum advantage possible by draft.
Not quite, this phenomenon happens in local races too. The way collision detection works is, cars are updated one by one in a predefined order (the same one as the order of the names in the big black status bar). What this means is that in situations like the one you described, how easily you collide depends on which car is moved to its new position first, the leading one or the trailing one. If it's the latter, the game can detect a collision even if there are as many as 6 pixels between the cars, if the speeds are high.Whiplash wrote:That happens because of the race ping.Carlos Sainz Jr wrote:Ah, I noticed that it happens that the game counts small front-rear contacts on straights even if there still is a bit of space between cars involved.

Be more specific. I don't see it. You started from position 6 and finished race at position 7, right? "-1" means you lost one position during race.Whiplash wrote: P.S.
power, there's a bug with "-1" position info in first stats.
I can try, but there should be some kind of rule when overtaking has officially taken place. Like if you get half a car ahead for couple seconds but lose the position back right away, does that count as overtake for both cars? Everyone also "overtook" [$pectre]Jaw$ in first lap because for some reason he doesn't like to start the race at the same time with others. Do you count that?Carlos Sainz Jr wrote:Good stats Power, but I was wondering if it is possible to add something like how many cars we overtake in a race. It could be a cool statistic in my opinion
I don't know, I thought something like when you effectively gain a position overtaking someone on track with all your car, so not including pits or lapped cars (Jaws' case), but I seriously don't know how much workable it is, I don't want you to spend your time tryin' to do that bro.power79 wrote:I can try, but there should be some kind of rule when overtaking has officially taken place.

Yeah, thank you. You did a good job too few turns later from what I remember and then I failed brake on 1st turn of new lap. Let's say a cool mini fight.Azev wrote:I knew you were going to try that on the inside, but still couldn't stop it, well doneCarlos Sainz Jr wrote:

My mistake. I thought somehow that all those "-" were actually missing number "1" there. Maybe it would be better to write "+0" or "0" there.power79 wrote:Be more specific. I don't see it.

...but still: damnit Yeah, I really liked that one, especially because we gave each other just enough space.Mike Nike wrote:Enjoying to read all those reviews, Carlos, Oompa, WILL...
@Badeend/Oompa
sick outside overtake by B vs Oompa oO ...0 pixels between you guys, but it felt like you both did not collide. Brave all or nothing "move" by B, paying off.

lesson number 1: Never celebrate to soon.
T has better PC. But, I'd still like to get one new feature in the game by Ande which would allow anyone to create highlightings of any race by one click. I 'll force him to make it in a new version.Azev wrote:Somewhip should make a video with the best moments of each race

Nah, he'll implement my idea easily. Let me describe it:Tijny wrote:Buaha, Ande is a programmer, not a magician!
Overtakings / overtaken.power79 wrote:(Yes, please give me better name. I don't know correct english terminology for this.)]
As you may know I don't really like "diving" so much, I find it cleaner to try and maximize my exit speed and use the draft on the following straight. Incidentally that's how Oompa got me a few times, and he drove a good pace all in all. But yeah, in the end that battle cost me the chance to stay in contention for something more than 3rd place. Ultimately I don't think it mattered though, because my pace wasn't really good enough anyway.Mike Nike wrote:Although Tijny lost a lot of staying/waiting behind Oompa. Not the first time Tijny could have used a couple diving spots, he skipped and just slowed down behind the car in front, keeping the ideal line, probably just waiting for a mistake or for a good opportunity on a long straight.
