urgh last thing i need is the 500 meters of powersliding for my runner liscense lol. seriously it takes forever!! Mainly because you only slide a meter or two at a time. So if anyone sees a random purple dot driving up and down a stretch of road powersliding... that's me lol
hit boost at the same time you hit left trigger and turn,you can actually do a full 360 which counts.
WOW thanks I have been working on this for like ever now THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :)Quote:

I feel ya. My boss knows I just got this game so if for some reason I call in sick ... I am sure they would be like uh huh ... sure
Maybe I'll get the powerslide pursuit without too much back and forth. Ever since the start, I always powerslide to a stop.
See a mission on the right side of the road. Powerslide around so I can hop out of the car and be right there and not have to go around the car.
Headed to an arkfall? Powerslide so the passenger side of the car is facing so I have a little cover to start off.
Just little things like that.
oh i try to powerslide as much as possible...sliding into a mission or whatever but as often as i want to powerslide i get a kick outta the ole action dive out the door or off the quad lol....Quote:

Well I don't know why this seems hard for some, it's easy if you boost to full speed, hold B and just kind of boost as you correct the oversteer. I got the 500m for runners and rollers in a matter of minutes. Rollers are definitely easier as you can almost hold full speed while sort of drifting. It's probably easier for me since I have a racing background and I play Forza a lot >.> sorry if it sounds confusing but I'd need to make a video tutorial to properly show how to do it. Ill get on it! :D
I don't know if u mean the left trigger brake or the handbrake. But do not use the left trigger brake at all for this. Just kind of press A and B at the same time while at full speed and you will find sliding easier.Quote:

I get sideways in DiRT2/3 and Horizon a good bit lol..granted it's a lot easier because those games are meant to be "racers"...if i'm sideways in Forza3/4 its because i made a mistake haha!!Quote:

Haha yeah those are morse arcadey than the forza franchise. Forza 4 being my favorite, I like horizon but they took out the tuning factor and made it easier for the mainstream to use, which was fine because I love Forza's customization, machanics and open world in forza is just amazing!Quote:

It makes drifting impossible >.< For the power slides I find it's easiest to just hold both A and B and just kind sway back and forth while driving full speed, takes about 45 seconds to get 500m of power slides in a roller.
Uh...you guys know you can press 'b' to use the handbrake and powerslide MUCH easier right?
I spend 50% of my time randomly driving around in the game and looking for stuff to jump lol! I'll have to give the A + B combo a try, I don't think I've tried to use both at once.Quote:

I'm pretty sure people in here know that.Quote:

GT is in the signature, you ever wanna get sideways on some racers lemme know. Mr. Stroud is right, we spend more time airborn than anything else in this game...i think for a good 30 minutes after "calling it a night" last night we were trying to see what we could jump and what not...i tried to pull off the snake river canyon stule jump and well the results were the same as Evel's lol.
I plan on powersliding all night long tonight well until i'm distracted by that darn E-Rep medic trying to save his boys...

Me: Ok cool, I'm gonna try this jump I found.
Grit: Wait, stay there, I'm heading over!
Then we jumped stuff for about a half hour lol!
Tonight we will have to put in some good powersliding time to get that out of the way.
you know we're gonna intend on doing objective A B C but for some reason 2 hrs will pass and we're half way to A hahaha!!
