I'm too Slow... Motogp3

[Evil Ways]

Motogp3
Fastest ever lap 2:15.681 [keyboard] Losail.
Even when I do get my controller this weekend I am pretty sure I am not going to be able to shave much more off of that. Even if I shave 10 seconds off that, I am still slow.
Hell, I am having difficulty just doing the 5 laps in a row under 2:16.00 right now [these bikes are so unstable with keyboard].

Even with the AI turned all the way down I am still the slowest guy on the track in the race... with poll position...oddly enough.

Then the first thing the AI does is wreck you at the first corner or the second one, or the third one by clipping your tire, or pushing you off the track... and your in last place playing catch up... and the faster you go, the faster they go [how I made the 2:15.681 catch up drafting]. Even when you do manage to Catch Up mid pack you are clipped again or pushed off the track lol.

In MotoGP 22, we need a gun or a club or something. lol

This is looking more and more like its going to be the first game I have ever had were I am not going to be able to play it, even at the lowest settings, and all the help aids turned on.

If I do Multiplayer Ill probably be lapped 3 times in a 6 lap race... lol

Few things to consider - You will defiently be faster when using a controller. A big part of cornering is managing how much you're leaning which you cannot do with a keyboard as you're either on full lean or no lean. Also throttle control and break control. On a controller you can vary these where a keyboarrd/mouse will either be full throttle/break or no throttle/break. You absolutely need that level of control.

P\lay with the engine settings. For example, having a high TCS will stop the rear from spinning but will reduce power. Same with a high AW setting, engine power will be cut to stop the front coming up. In race you want PWR on 2, as 1 will be slower to save fuel, and 3 will be fastest but uses more fuel (it's okay to use in short bursts along the straights). In Moto 3 class I tend to run TCS on 1 or 2 depending on track, EBS on 3 and PWR on 2 for races. In GP class I'll run TCS on 3, AW 2 to 3, EBS 3, and PWR 2.

While assists are great to help you learn the game, in the end it is always faster to turn these off if/once you learn to play without them. Automatic breaking really slows you down as it often breaks too much and for too long so this is defintely one to try and turn off, same with stearing assist.

In terms of other assists, I have auto break off and front break assist (I think it's this) on the second to lowest (basically the one that lets you have full controll of when you break but also lets you keep "joint breaks" enabled). If you can, learn to turn off break input modulation and throttle input modulation as this will basically cut your throttle if it thinks you're accelerating too much.

When it comes to breaking, you want to do most of the breaking before you're in the corner. You can still have the break applied when entering the corner, but it's important to gradually ease it off if you're going to do this. And try not to apply the break hard when in corners as this will cause the front to wipe out. (Sorry if you already know this).

And while you're learning the game, make use of rewinds and keep trying a corner until you get the right line. Having the full racing line indicator on to start with is also a big help.

But most of all, have fun playing around!

It does take a while to learn the game but it is doable. I'd remove Auto break straight away as you'll probably find that you learn so much faster than you expact you can when this is turned off.

If you haven't done so already, you can always turn down AI level. If its at 100%, you can turn that down so its more competitive for you.

I have the AI down all the way GeeWizz.. Its just the Motogp3's.. I tried a Motogp2 and it was all 50% easier, at minimum.
Thanks for all the helpful advice Buzz.. I am still only like maybe 15 hours maybe playtime still [without a controller, keyboard only]. Controller coming Sat.
I am still trying to get the hang of it... like penalty lap thing... Bit of Drama there almost threw my keyboard though my monitor after the 20th or so attempt at it... lol
Been watching lots of videos on this game.. like Dyl469, ROB046, Riotbox going though career mode from motogp3- to motogp [still watching it], and some others.

Think maybe something wrong with Motogp3's.. or something. lol

For me, it really started clicking around 20 hours in. Controller will make a huge difference too. Keep at it - once it clicks for you, it's a total blast to play - despite insane AI. :)

Well, the controller is a little awkward to use.. gona take awhile to get used to..

I just saw your other post in the update bug thread @Evil Ways. If you have the option through your video card or some other app I'd suggest you record yourself riding a lap at Losail so we can see what you're doing and if there's anything obvious you can work on to speed up.

Moto3 at Losail is one of my favourite combinations and I really enjoy racing there.

Damn! These Moto3 bikes are tough little things. Too far of a lean with acceleration at the wrong exit and you lose power. This is with TCS at 1. They're fun though as you can really throw them around with the rear hanging out.

[Evil Ways]

Mr Bismarck.. I really don't know what to say.. A lot of this is just ME.. trying to get ahead of myself. I took last night and went back to Moto3, and back to basics.

I think however, I need to somehow RESET my game or Lap Times in the game. This all might be normal to you guys, but I just think moto3 track times; Like on the Italy track, in the WET, at 20% AI being 2:13.465 is a little fast. I mean, I know you guys run this at about 1:58 but damn. lol

I think I broke my game or something flying around these tracks with auto brake on trying ot learn everything and the tracks. Every damn track is like this now and I cannot even do the Development Tests cause the times required are faster than pole position. lol and that is at 20%, not even 30%.

I eventually get some, but I am having to drive like the devil is chasing me just to get one or two of them done before a race.

I dont even think uninstalling the game would work, as there is probably some file somewhere that will just reload it the second I reinstall it.... lol
