Would that make retro launching online possible?



.........uh oh
 
Retro launching is when you wait to press the gas at the 1 on 3.2.1 at ssxr right?

It's a technique used to improve the launch. A good example is the Vipe ACR. A normal tune starts in 2nd gear but when retro launching, you would start in 1st gear and quickly shift into 2nd.

Is wheelieing now possible online? I hope so.

So first gear is just like second gear but NOT, and third and so on are the same as before. If that makes sense. Lol

Also why couldn't anybody do that online before?
 
Its not possible because you would have to know when the person is going to ghost so you can time the launch and get the optimum rpm. Unless you can read minds or guess really good then it wont ever be possible unless the way of "starting" other than ghosting changes.

That's what I was thinking because I've noticed that on some cars if I press the gas at 1 on the count down, it's faster. That's what I thought retro launching was.
 
its a form of quickshift that once the next gear is hit, the rpms fall and the car bogs out just enough to gain alot more grip, but before at indy your whole car woul fully bog out and lose almost all rpms, like startin in 6th gear. now we are unsure of if it will work.
 
Retro launch is only good for a few cars you'd normally launch in second gear, doesn't work on a no stripe for some reason. It's when you launch in first then shift to second almost imediatly after launch like a super fast quick shift...it won't be much a concern since only a few cars can be retro launched, ACR will be the big one but I rarely use it anymore

When hitting gas on speed test at the end of the countdown is a timed launch where you hope to catch the proper rpm like 6000 instead of way up by the limiter.
 
I noticed this today when I was in my Cuda. I pulled a 180 and i went up on 2 wheels. later on, ran into the wall at full speed and nearly did a front flip. Solid WTF moment!!!

I doubt the retro launch could be applied beneficially at Indy. And even if it is, live Mikey says, the ACR is the main proponent of the retro launch and that car is so freaking tired anyway

Thanks mikey.
 
No, retro launch won't be any more applicable then what it was 2 months ago. To retro launch you need to time your launch so that your car leaves the line at desired RPM, not full throttle.. My ACR can be launched in first with a quick shift to 2nd or straight up 2nd. But no, retro launching is still pointless online.

Isn't that just quick shifting? I hope that's not considered a cheat :lol:
 
I still can't flip online though. So everything may not carry over.

They are screwing drag racing up even more if you can. Almost half the rooms are for drag racing. Also in a interview Kaz I think his name is said that he doesnt really understand drag racing.

This thread has become about retro launching... I don't use it and don't plan to.
 
He said that he would like it to be implemented into the future game(s), but it is difficult to get certain aspects of drag racing into the game.

I HAVE NEVER RETRO-LAUNCHED ANY TIMES, ALL MY TIMES ARE LEGIMAT 2ND TIMED LAUNCH TIMES.

He pissed me off in that interview.
 
I stick it with my old tunes since before retro, leaderboard, test track and e-cheating, my old tunes seem that they'll never go wrong regardless of patches. :D

I have to agree, it doesn't matter what's new and what's not it will all come to who trees better, we know all the ins and out of this game we should be able to handle all the noobs out there.
 
Right now I'm having a pretty bad issue of when running in the speed test my gforce jumps in the middle of the run i dont why
