For Nostalgia, I took Ry (Ryousuke)'s color and Ry (Ryousuke)'s body parts, cause I'm a manga fan. Any tips I should know about the FC3S? Im trying to get used to turning, it's MUCH quicker and sharper than in the RX-8. Im finding myself taking corners at full throttle that I normally would have to downshift and brake for. Im also finding myself turning way too far and slamming into a wall... |

Im used to having to turn my wheel most of the way to get that big hunk of metal the RX-8 to start turning, and when I turn it that much in this thing, FWOOSH, it turns much faster...thus me not expecting it and hitting the wall. I just need to turn the wheel less |

Same place that always messes me up every time I try to race that track. It's that very wide turn about halfway through the track, that as your going along, it suddenly turns sharply to the left, then to the right, and to the left again. Right after that is a downhil to a U-Turn a long a cliff, im sure you know what I mean. Every time I tried that in the RX-8, I wouldn't turn enough and i would hit the wall, I would try to downshift to drift around...causing me to lose a bunch of speed for some reason. Or if i manage to get around that corner, I would try to turn again for the next quick right turn, then have to go left, only to find myself with zero control and sliding straight forward into the wall... Will I have that trouble on the FC with the sharp handling? This post has been edited by Sikarian on Aug 31 2004, 08:50 PM |
