I was just wondering how you have your DS2 configured.. Especially since I've read that to do burnouts you have to to hold in the brake while flooring the gas.. I can not do that (for a reason :D )

I have steering on the left stick (no sh_t ?) and then throttle and gas on the right.. I feel that the car is easier to control in slides with the analog gas... Or am I just being an idiot :trouble:

(R1 and L1 for up/down shifting, R2 look behind, L2 Emergency Brake)

Cheers

Flerbizky, give it a search, man. It's been asked and answered numerous times. For the record, I use both analog sticks, and L1/downshift-R1/upshift.
 
same here, although I am about try to an adaptation ofthat configuration to use R2 or L2 for brakes. It would help with corners you need to use both on, especially with FF cars. :)
 
Of course the digital buttons on the DS2 are part-analogue - each has 32 degrees of sensitivity. And it hasn't slowed me down (yet). I use default.

Which is a pain after playing GTAVC when I keep hitting R1 to do a handbrake turn on the line... D'oh!
 
Heh, that wouldn't matter to me my X button is nackered, mainly because I occasionally take my controller to bits when it gets dirty.

I use both analogs, but with the default buttons with the rest of the controlls set as default.

By the way does anyone here who uses the digital (yeah I know there analog) buttons use them to drive in a left foot braking style? (I.e you keep the accel pressed down even during braking, I think thats allong the lines of how it works).

Heh nice avatar Famine, nice to see i'm not the only fan of that crazy cosworth engined group B monster. :D
 
I use both analog sticks, I just wish there was a way that I could still use the accelerator, and the brake at the same time with that configuration. If I want to do burnouts, I have to use the regular buttons, I can't do them with both analog sticks.
 
that is why I suggested the R2 or L2 as brakes with the analog controllers.

Yeah, I suppose that would work if I didn't use those buttons as shifters. Maybe L1 or R1, but then it might become annoying to change gears and brake at the same time.

Although there is always the steering wheel. :D
 
left stick steering. L2 down shift, R2 up shift. X accelerator(also analog!!) , Square brake.
 
Race Idiot - I've been known to heel/toe (or is that knuckle/thumbprint? :D) with the X and square. Couple of guys I know just have the accelerator mashed and keep it there, but use the brake as normal... Very weird. Very fast...

Looks like it's just you and me love the RS200... :D It's my favourite car, just ahead of the F40. And current world production-car 0-60mph acceleration record holder too. :D
 
Heel toe with the buttons :lol: , my X button doesn't work at full pressure so I don't even consider that as an option. Mind you I find myself enigne braking sometimes during enduros.

Yeah the RS200 is a kick arse car, although weren't bits of it built by the people who make the Robin Reliant?
 
Yep... :D

Cosworth made the engine, Tickford made the chassis and Reliant made the bodywork (they were world experts in fibre glass)...

Then Group B went mental, killing drivers left, right and centre. Then an RS200 killed 7 spectators at Portugal... Then the Lancia killed Henri Toivanen and that was that...

There's still some around, at £50,000 a pop. And if I win the lottery I will find one and I will buy it...


For those of you who don't know, the RS200 Evolution holds the official world production 0-60mph (0-100km/h) record at 3.06s, runs at 400hp on 1100kg, mid-engine 4WD (RS200 was 280hp), but ran at up to 850hp for rallying purposes... Staggering...

Way to be drawn off topic, Famine... :D
 
Left Stick for turning, X for accelerator, Square for brake...
 
You could build an RS200 kit car if you wanted to slaughter a perfectly good sierra cosworth. Although i think i'd rather keep the sierra intact.
It's a shame about all the deaths, driver and spectator.

The group B cars however....
To give you an idea of the kind of performance GroupB cars were capable of I'll mention that in the 1986 season Henri Toivonen made two laps around the Estoril circuit, during a stage of the Portuguese rally, the fastest of which, in 1 minute and 18,1 seconds, would have qualified him in the sixth position of the F1 Grand Prix that same season. Ayrton Senna had the Pole Position in the 1986 Portuguese Grand Prix in 1 minute and 16,7 seconds...Toivonen was using the Lancia Delta S4 and was accompanied by his usual co-driver Sergio Cresto.

:eek:
 
Yeh, that's amazing that they could just keep up with the F1 cars...850 bhp? I always thought they had about 600 bhp...Never thought a four cylinder could really get above that...
 
I don't know much about that period of F1, mainly because I was like 4 or 5 years old. Mind you the earlyest memory of F1 was when I saw Gerhard Berger and laughed because his name was Burger. :odd:

Shut it.
