I figured the IDES section was missing a course help thread like the ones in the IDAS4 and IDAS3 section... So here goes:

Post any course related questions here. No flaming of newbies will be tolerated. Do not post fake times or lie about entry/exit speeds.

I guess I'll start:

So, after getting smoked pretty badly on Happo online, I figured it was time to learn the how to do the course properly. I think I've gotten the basic idea of how to run the course, but I need help in a couple of spots. Namely:

-How do you take that hairpin after the end of CP2 outbound? It seems that no matter how long I brake for it I always end up oversteering.

-What are the brake points for the CP4 outbound consecs?

Nice idea bro, this should really get a sticky and I also think when someone posts up a idea. [That really works.]

You should copy and paste the post and have it quoted in your first post.
That way newcomers and people who have already been at it can come in and learn from each other. Instead of looking through a-lot of pages and I'm sure this thread will have a-lot.

I'm having alot of trouble with Irohazaka, the fifth stage. There's turns everywhere, and I can't seem to go fast after turning, even after breaking properly. It seems that I always stay on the 3rd gear because of the turns, I might shift to the 4th occasionally but there's so much turns that I stay on the 3rd.

I play with the toyota corolla levin SR, with all internal upgrades checked. Can anyone help?

watch my vids for help

Billy = God of East Coast in IDES.

really? i doubt that

get used to turning really hard into each hairpin to spin your car around 180 degrees while negotiating each turn. once you've got all of the "ordinary" hairpins down pat, work on perfecting the drops in the third section -- executed the same way, but much quicker in succession. i downshift to 2nd for the entirety of the drops.

unfortunately for us, the trueno and levin are not exactly the best cars for this course :-( when i manage to get a good run in on iro, i'm typically upshifting to 4th for a good 1-2 seconds prior to downshifting for each hairpin. try to get to this point; where you can afford to upshift for extra speed beforehand. if you can't redline the engine before each turn, you're losing too much ground (too much braking) and/or hitting too many walls too often.

@backaka61: 3rd gear for most turns on iro is fine... Unless you're using a 6 gear car. Just tap the brakes lightly and take an in-in-out line. The best way to run Iro is to wall-rape the inside of each turn such that you don't lose too much speed or hit the outside wall on exit. For reference, watch Takeshi Nakazato's vids.

The best advice I can give and I've become a-lot faster than I was originally and I can only say.

Keep on watching battle videos from version 4 and extreme stage.

Look at the gears and go into time attack and figure out how to take the corner just like they did.

Ok, they took that sharp right turn of dead.. without shifting down.. now im just thinking to myself..... DAH???????..... lol.. i wonder if my evo IV or sileighty can do that.


The best driving during a battle I've done was on my joke around profile.

dude u run faster than me.

on IDES? im pretty sure its easier to run faster times on IDES than V4

well ver4 1.5 is about the same.

Look at you getting all these props Billy.

Where'd all the love go for the lonely Tokui West Coast rep? =(

That depends on the course I think. IDAS4 precise steering makes it easier to get faster exit speeds and take a better line IMO. Of course with IDES you can just play it over and over as much as you want, so it's not that big of an issue.

me and billy are just kiddin around. lol

your really good too jy

he billy u been play iro since u got the record.

i would like to know how to break into the 2'43s. i tried playing again but keep getting 2'44s lol

every once in a while

hey u should play ver5 when it comes out

if anywhere near me gets it, NC sucks for arcades

All we have in VA is ver 3 and maximum tune 3.


I never got to play Ver 4 in the arcade.

thanks for the tips everyone, I managed to get really good at it, I can finally do it under 3 minutes haha Takeshi, your performance is insane...... 2:43?? but I noticed your car has a greater acceleration than mine... Maybe the levin is'nt meant for this course, lol.

I almost beat the game, I'm at that "final boss" at the final course driving the yellow civic. Damn that guy is tough. Any help? lol

Lots of wall riding. I think trailing 60-80m by the consec hairpins is a good indicator and you should comfortably take over him towards the end.

Levin is great. You crazy? Unless you're talking about the AE85. If so, CHANGE!

And yes. I wall ride like crazy on Happo at the end. And for some reason, I do WAY better on controller than with my wheel. Weird.
