hi guys, a bit slow to post here, sorry.

the initial d cab at mine has been swapped out and is now running, id2.

its game on, its a freeby. bring your own bevvy etc.

play as many credits as you can. the cards are good for i think 60 sessions i.e. if you play 10 credits then eject the card you will be left with 59 sessions, make sense ??? good.

if you were a player in last years id1 competition, then you can save your car onto a new card for id2, if not then you can pick up a car from the stock ones. there are also new cars to choose from.

the first 2 courses are the same as id1, with the main difference being the addition of rain and snow, its also at night. level 1 is a dawdle, level 2 up until the end boss is also quite easy.

i had to put the old steering pot back in, however that all round super nice guy "equites" is sending me a new pot

this will be fitted by saturday, all being well. if not then the old pot is still use able.

big thanks also go out to guddler for helping out with the cards, and the masked tech head for his skills on the pc etc.

the comp started yesterday. in joint first place is "iamcromby" and "john bud" its expected that at least another 2 will be added this weekend. we have both completed level 1 and are at present chasing the butt of the level 2 boss.

there is a prize for the biggest carry out
smiley36.gif
yes folks the person who brings the largest amount of tennents, gets a badge

no leather driving gloves are allowed

and finally, we are still short of cards, if you can scavenge any, even just 1 for yourself, do it. or if you can buy some at a reasonable price let me know. i was quoted a pound a card from a guy in italy. when i said that was a bit pricey, he said yeah but you get 50 shots on the card, you cant argue with that eh !! i mean ffs you can eat 1 piece of chewing gum all week, doesnt mean its worth more.

to enter simply get in touch with me, or other members who have my contact details. send a text first, then call me. im about most weekends and evenings.

see you at the start line.

john bud.

hey John

How about opening this up to people that have ID2 at home too ? For us that can't travel up and see you.

Perhaps rate on completion time or whatever, upload pics for verification etc. Perhaps you can make up some rules.

will give me an excuse to get my machine powered on for a change.

Good thinking buddy, maybe we should have a prize for first place?

its confirmed that nad has posted the pot, so its looking good for getting fitted on friday

so to confirm, the time trials will be on course 3, only because its harder than the first 2.

cheers.

Id imagine you also need to class cars as I imagine if someone has a 800bhp tuned car its going to get around the track a little quicker than a stock car.

I should probably look for my ID2 disk & chip and practice a bit :)

was nice to have a good crack at it today and clear the first three zones.

really is an awesome cab, fannying around with xbox wheels just ain't the same. i'd even missed the cheesy as f**k music since playing ID1

i can verify rick has now completed the first 3 levels

smiley20.gif


i can also confirm we now have a deficit of 3 cards
smiley18.gif
we now have a subaru and a cup of coffee free to use
smiley20.gif
these are both stock cars, so not upgraded. the capucino ??? is a suzuki car, this is 1 of the new ones. it might be a good car later on as its a wee nippy job.

the first 2 courses are relatively easy. its the 3rd course when it starts to require some effort. there are quite long stretches of tight and very tight turns. the other racers seem to use very fast, off the start cars, as you will find out if you compete. in level 3 you must overtake a couple of cars as they leave behind from the start. sounds easy apart from the fact that they block you

smiley35.gif
but as you can see they can be beaten

@ setch, get your disc in
smiley20.gif
i did a post on j+, but yeah time trials are good. i also think that really anybody can join in our wee meet thing. its a game that needs time, we aint going to see someone who hasnt played it before, suddenly cruising it. at the moment im sort of limiting my own time. im doing this to try and make it a bit fairer
smiley32.gif
but tbh im thinking i might not manage to complete it, it seems quite hard. however it is game on and the game wont be swapped out until its beaten, either by me or another driver
smiley14.gif
i know you are a bit of a driver fan, as is gud and or2, so lets see these cabs rock
smiley34.gif
this isnt a mame thing, ever played/owned a game that you cant complete ??? a big guy from london has another id cab but its pimped. i think although i know about 5 guys who own them at least 2 of them are converted or pimped for mame etc. i think martin sold 1 side of his twin but kept the other, possibly he wants in too, he supplied the new season cards
smiley33.gif


so just to make it more difficult for me.

all peeps are welcome to join in the competition
smiley20.gif
the only requirement is access to an id cab running id2. we will require pictures of either cards or video shots to confirm your score/progress.

very basic rules for competitors.

game: initial d version 2

settings: default

ffb: at 10, no limp wrists
smiley17.gif


gears: manual or girly [your call]

optional extras to include, gloves helmet and goggles: your call "not at mine you dont" not unless you want sl*gged off for the rest of you life
smiley36.gif


i think that covers it
smiley20.gif


time trials on level 3. all stages dry/wet, night/day etc. i will post my first time downhill dry 2.37 minutes, i will post a picture.

cheers.

john bud.

Hmm, I've been pretty much off the grid for the last couple weeks due to starting a new job buti might just have to fire this up and see how we get on
smiley1.gif
Sounds like fun. I think in the main gameive got to track 5? But it may have been track 4 I'll have to check.

PS: it was Setch that got the other half of mine

cool, so its not been butchered yet
smiley20.gif
it makes it more of a challenge, lets be honest we wouldnt have these cabs if we didnt enjoy racing
smiley20.gif
rick thinks i should get another for some head to head racing
smiley20.gif
its a serious thought. i meant to say we tried a different pot in the steering
smiley21.gif
quarter turn on the wheel was full lock
smiley36.gif
worth a try though. i still reckon i can fix the lock for or2. but im too busy playing it to take it apart
smiley36.gif
i think grobda was surprised at the amount of effort required to beat the stages
smiley36.gif
its defo different than id1, but the same game
smiley5.gif
smiley36.gif
we has great weather today, door open all day, makes a change from winter, door closed. so yeah get it in there bud, be good to have some more drivers owners going for it.

Full of cold today

That's what you get for working from home for 10 years and then going to an office for a week!

Might see how I feel later about going up there and doing some driving. Maybe tonight.

Well not butchered as such but it has been upgraded with a model 3 dash & outrun 2 sp :)

Anyway switched the Naomi 2 back in with id2 and had a quick go, should have probably read the post more as I've just sat down and raced through the first 8 stages on legend of the street and then read that I'm meant to be doing the time trials :)

Will have to post pics of my times etc as my card readers thermal print head is not working :( luckily I can still save data so the mission on legend of the street hasn't been a complete waste.

Might boot it back up again in a mo for another blast.

I'd imagine the problem with this game & a compo is that each car is different and you essentially have to upgrade & tune your car to progress further in the game.
