Hi guys, im here, after a long search on web, for some kind of guide, or maybe an tutorial, explainning how play on simulation mode, in motogp 08. im new to this kind of game, and unfortunely, i dont found any material, wich could teach me some tips. im trying to play on simulation mode, but the problem is.... i dont know play this game well, and i need a little help about control the brakes. As i saw, the game have 2 brakes, the front and the rear one. can someone explain to me? or do some kind of tutorial, on how to do a curve? how can i know when uses the rear brake and the front brake? plz, would be great if u guys help me, cause the only thing i know to do in simulation mode, is fall from the bike. |

Use manual transmission and go round the track in first gear until you get a feel for it. |

Start off by using arcade and then advanced settings. This will get you used to how the bike handles and will let you find the braking and turn in points. I find that simulation mode requires you to start braking just slightly earlier than these other two modes as well as being a little less aggressive on the brakes. Also, do not turn in as sharply or have the bike leant right over. The general rule for using both front and rear brakes is to start your braking with the front brake and during the main part of the braking zone release the front brake and brush the rear brake in small spurts to brush off most of the speed. Then as you get closer to the turn in point, use the front brake again to get down to the correct speed with which to take the corner. There are a few views on this however, many use the rear brake at the latest possible point in order to get a flick effect into the corner. Its all about your own personal preference for the feel of the handling.

OK, I've been playing SIM since I opened the game and I'm on my 4th career on legendary. To start off I find the best "base" setting is a soft front and hard rear, 7 bars on suspension and turning speed, and adjust gears depending on track (lower for twisty tracks/higher for tracks where you can open it up!). Now that you have that straightened out you're ready. I liked the first post that said go around the track in first, good idea. If you don't play with manual trans... well you really should learn how to. Now for racing! Braking: one of the best ways to learn the braking is to notice "landmarks" on the track that let you know when to start braking. An overpass for example. Try braking right when you pass it. Notice how long it takes to stop and adjust you're braking accordingly. It's best to have all your braking done before the turn, but when you get good you'll be able to brake much "deeper". When I go down the start/finish straight of Qatar I JAM the brakes (front and rear) until I reach the turn. A lot of times I come in hot and feather the breaks right up until the apex. The closer you get to the apex the less you want to use the front brakes (your front end will wash and you'll prolly want to restart.......again). If I'm coming in WAY too hot I pump bot brakes and it seems to slow me down faster (maybe not though?). Gas: Whatever the lower handling difficulties (I don't know, never played it like that) using the gas in SIM is frustratingly difficult (I do 10 lap races in my career and beleive me, the gas is so unpredictable there are many, many restarts). Basically NEVER EVER EVER just open the gas. The only situation for that is when the bike is COMPLETELY upright and even then your back tire will prolly break loose. This is why I told you to use a hard rear. The hard rear is a lil more forgiving when you accelerate too fast. So, once you hit the apex pull the gas trigger ever so slightly and work on pulling it as you lift the bike up. When you spin out it is because you're leaned over too far and gave it too much gas. Work on increasing gas progressively as the bike straightens out. Another easy way to spin out is being in the wrong gear. When you practice pay attention to what the best gear is for each turn. Higher gears mean more torque, more torque means less throttle to spin the tire. So if your in a hairpin in 3rd gear (too high) when you accelerate the tire will spin way too fast even if you just have it "cracked". Real MotoGP riders apparently NEVER use 1st gear but I find in the game the situation arises quite often.
That's all for now, let me know if this helped! |
