Re: Switch the Camera to an AI Car?

Okay. I vaguely recalled angry reports about the replay option being "removed" in a later game (MW or Carbon). So I was curious how it looked when it was "still there" (if it was). It's pretty standard to switch cameras in other games like Sports Car GT. Not that there is any dou...

Re: What kind of music do you like?

I like change in my music. After I listened to one style and have 'numbed' my perception of it, I am eager to switch to something else. I like pop about love and eurodance about freedom, melodic rock with howling electric guitars, and calm electronic music. I do not particularly like the "rage&...

Switch the Camera to an AI Car?

Is it possible to switch the camera to an AI car during a replay to observe them cheating? :twisted:

Re: Tuning ECU and Turbo in NFS UG2

I don't know anything about real physical ECUs and turbo. Something has been bothering me. If we raise a bar on the tuning screen all the other bars automatically go down. Why is it that we can trade the power at one RPM towards power in another range? Why is it that the turbo is now capable outputt...

Re: The real system Requirements for Need For Speed: Rivals

I'll report back in five years when budget computers will be able to run this, and I've finally switched over to (and learned) a 64-bit system. 6 GBs of ram for a single program. Damn. Not even PAE will come to rescue to run this. Funny, I have a computer with a hard drive of nearly this size here f...

Re: anyone know what the best car to start a career with is?

I am doing another playthrough on NFSU2 at an accelerated pace. Again, I chose the Nissan 240SX, because I am stubborn. This car, when upgraded to above Level 2 parts is evolving the very useful characteristic of being able to slide around corners using normal brake and steering in the opposite dire...

Re: What games are you playing at the moment?

I couldn't beat Most Wanted and dropped it for now, and am now playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I wrecked the first couple cars in record time. Out of all things I wish the game had NFSMW traffic, which rarely switches lanes, and actually does not adjust its speed depending on the player's per...

AI cars always match the player's power

So I've been upgrading my cars under the assumption that it is necessary for them to become faster to progress in the storyline, and to get an advantage over the competion if possible... Then I tried entering a race from the middle of the game – Jewel's "Cascade" – with a stock Golf, and I...

Re: NFS:MW.. how to beat Earl?

I looked into the forums earlier, and was scared to face Earl. But I beat him rather easily in Baron's Porsche upgraded with NOS Level 2, and Junkman Sway Bars. In the speedtrap he didn't seem to cheat and I beat him on the second try, because I crashed near the end and had to restart. In the sprint...

Re: Post great rap sheet/pursuit achievements here!

People will hate me for continuing an old thread, but the game's also old and nobody's discussing it much anymore. I tried beating Razor's "rap ranking" in Heat Level 3, but experienced a glitch twice which didn't allow me to do it: no more police cars . They stopped coming after about an ...

Re: Windows 8

The Metro™ UI was inefficient, and wasted screen space turning normal sized screen into tiny, and a modern widescreen into a regular sized one. Back to square one. Even normal UI had all controls spaced apart from one another. And it felt patronizing how Microsoft had decided what's best. But I wond...

Re: What's your favourite game mode?

URL and then Street X. These modes allow the player to improve his driving and cornering within a given race without restarting, which feels like a cheat. Outrun is fun, except the AI cheats and cannot be outrun with any car, except if the player cheats too, making the opponent crash into highway di...

Re: How to disable Catch Up AI cheating?

Thank you for your reply. I'll keep looking. I figured somebody may have already discovered the AI format. Maybe one of the intentions of the authors with this Catch Up function was to push for ever more speed, so that their game could be reviewed as having the fastest races on the market. After the...

How to disable Catch Up AI cheating?

Hello forum. I have beaten Underground 2 again last week, and one aspect of the game has been bothering me throughout it from the first levels: no matter how I drive, AI opponents are always clustered together behind me. I'm going at above 300 kph, in the 6th gear, with nitrous the engine is redlini...
