Unlock beter codriver?

[heson]

When in the career do you unlock a better codriver I am getting tired of P Mills, he is so inconsistent, either 3 turns ahead then there is a 3 right just ahead as I rev max it in top gear.

I'd like to be able to choose a woman, as a co-driver, instead of a man.
For the sound of her voice, and for a change as well.

You do not get another Co-Driver, Try putting the pacenote calls to earlier! You can tweak it a little :)

All of the pace notes are recorded as a single file on 3 different intensities. In the past, they cut and pasted audio so they could afford to have more than one co-driver. With this method though, its a lot of work so they could only use so many resources. That leaves us with 1 co driver.

Dont worry, In a few weeks the pacenotes will just serve as a reminder to you because you will have the stages memorized.

It's probably the worst english voiced co-driver ever to appear in a rally game.

But as usual you are busy defending codemasters and making this forum worse for it.

I don't have any issues with him. He's much better than Nicky Grist in Dirt 4.

I disagree with everything you just said there.
1) it is not the worst
2) I'm not sure how explaining the process is "defending codemasters"
3) I'm not sure how "defending codemasters" makes this forum bad.

Its a little strange that you jump down my throat for liking the game. So much so that even when I am not giving an opinion or even saying anything good about the game you attack me. There are plenty of people all talking bad about this game, why is it that when someone talks says something even neutral about it you get angry at them? And the fact that you think that having something non-negative to say about the game "makes the forum worse" is very concerning. Does that mean that saying things like "It's probably the worst english voiced co-driver ever to appear in a rally game" makes this forum better?

pacenotes are very inaccurate and badly timed containing some calls to troll you obviously.
The amount of false tightens he calls is disgusting.
Caution means either slippy corner or just a delay for the actual call so you hear it too late then.
You gotta set the pacenotes to the earliest to hear some tight corners on time but then most of the regular calls are too early.

[heson]

I have no problem with his voice, the problem I have is that some times I am in the turn when he say the turn and some times I get to stack three turns in my head. Like if the call out times are not adjusted by the speed I'm going or if he forgot to staret earlier if there is a long combination to mention.

[IncubusDragon]

He seems to say his calls in bunches for you to remember - maybe that's what Petter Solberg preferred, but yeah, not always great for gameplay.

[Simon said EAT DUST PLAYER_1 !]

I much rather have to store and recall three turns in my head THAN to be told what kind of a corner it was that had that tree parked in my way when I tend to the remains of my bleeding co-driver!

So please re-examine those "early" calls. Some of those are anything but early.

[Aurora]

Ive not had a single problem with any of the pacenotes. Maybe listen to him?

Yeah I used the German one for the same reason.

I don't get the way Codemasters does voice work for these games, especially considering the way the standard English (apparently Welsh) voice sounds.

He sounded drunk to me. I think it would've been better if they had used actors.

German Co Driver is a woman, but she is so anoying. Mixed english and german language. You'll regret it, believe me.

[Aliendik]

Thx for your answers, I'll try the German Co-Driver, why not?

[IncubusDragon]

I'm guessing he bunches his calls together because they won't be so easy to say/hear when on rougher sections of track in real life.

The disconnect is mostly what we imagine a corner looks like compared to what gets called -

- flat left or flat right are mostly noise pollution, we drive over them thinking it was a straight piece of track and then slam into the "right two" or whatever because we failed to comprehend that the flat call is been and gone already.

- calls are not necessarily corners, it can be just to avoid a big rock or something similar, so we do not perceive this as a "correct" call, already driving down the track looking for the "corner".

- not all hairpins are equal... there is no one correct way to tackle all hairpins, so we might sometimes turn too sharp if it lands somewhere between a "standard" and "open" hairpin.

Mills is a world champion co-driver, so no, I would not actually blame him for bad calls - perhaps we need to adjust to how the big boys do it.
