Waiting for any comments, lap records or invitations for race in that wonderful game!
Zak: please move this topic to the other racing games forum... Thanks in advance!
done.
Thanks!
Alps and Zone Industrielle record is broken, on the latter I'm only 0.06 behind Akoss...
Alps 3:05.81 ('00 911 Turbo)
Zone Industrielle 2:06.40 (GT1)
Table updated!
Brutal record on Alps with GT1 (I solved the slick problem), although the middle sector was very weak.
Alps 3:02.93 (GT1)
Some other new records:
Cot'e D'Azur 2:08.75 (GT1)
Alps 2:59.28 (GT1)
Auvergne 2:50.93 (GT1)
Corsica 2:07.03 (GT1)
Another Pyrennées, Zone Industrielle and Auvergne records. :)
New records: Alps (incredible... another 2 seconds!), Pyrennées, Auvergne (finaly under 2:50).
CTG, you wrote 9 messages in a row...
I know, always updating the record list. You can't blame me for killing Akoss' enthusiasm to this game with my better lap records. ;D
(Auvergne and Schwarzwald are my worst tracks... >:( Too many consecutive corners with walls around it)
Maybe I should make an NFS video for YouTube. ;)

none. I always played with the slow oldie cars.
I've found some really lovely cheat cars on the internet, like (Polski) Fiat 126, Lamborghini Murcielago, Bugatti Veyron and Ford Mustang GT 2005. Try them!

I can't leave this out, sorry... :D

NFS:PU reloaded: new Normandie record (2:14.28)!
Btw hints for those who want to play this game in the future (maybe only Akoss Poo):
"Proper" settings of GT1 (the one I use at the moment):
Ride height: ~15%
Stiffness, brakes and other scales: 50%
Downforce: front 60, rear 20
Tyre pressure: front 45, rear 40 (obviously slicks)
Gear ratio:
1st: -0.10
2nd: -0.15
3rd: -0.15
4th: -0.10
5th: -0.05
6th: -0.25
reverse: 0.00
final: -0.50
993 Turbo seems to be a good alternative (not on damned fast speedways, like Autobahn or Zone Industrielle). Close ratio gearbox is essential on slower tracks e.g. Corsica and Schwarzwald. Optimal settings are similar to GT1 (except gear ratios, you can't modify them here).
Give a try to these parameters and you will beat your old records easily.
It has been a long time ago when I played NFS Porsche, but maybe I'll have a try. Obviously I'm going to try Auvergne and Schwanzwald first. ;D

I hate both of these tracks. ;D Don't forget to switch off damage, it helps a lot in Auvergne, Monte Carlo 2 and 4 (not so much on other tracks).
"Little" mistake from me, will be corrected as soon as I find the missing data: Monte Carlo 2, Corsica and Pyrennées records were completed on reverse tracks (some of the world records too, the game collects the bkw and mirrored track results on the same scoreboard).
I know that these are the tracks where I have the biggest chance. Auvergne is my favourite, and I'm sure that at the same conditions, I can drive the better lap on that track. Schwanzwald is around the mid on my list of favourites.
I would like to try it, but maybe not on the super slow CPU at home... but who knows...
BÖFF!!!

NFS:PU runs without problem even on old computers with 700 MHz CPU and 256 MB RAM.
(Some of my records were made on the FEB computer...)
Couldn't find the old records of these 3 tracks - I had to re-drive them. Weak times. :-\
51.18 - Monte Carlo 2 (GT1)
2:04.68 - Pyrennées (GT1)
2:11.31 - Corsica (GT1)

System requirements
Minimum:
200MHz MMX
32 MB RAM
Win 95/98
4MB PCI or AGP video card
150 MB hard drive space
4x CD-ROM drive
Recommended:
300 MHz Pentium Processor
64 MB RAM
8 MB 3D graphics card (3Dfx or Direct3D)
DirectX 9c
8x CD-ROM drive
Weak times from you - are these really the best car settings? Or you just want to mislead me. ;D
NFS Porsche, one more system requirement: proper reinstallation intervals... on my current notebook, the CPU speed is around a 16 MHz one... it takes 15 minutes for the system to be loaded... but soon I will get a new notebook.

Only a few tries, usually I drive the other directions. As far as I remember, my old records were a bit better on these three tracks (2:03.xx on Pyrennées, 2:08.xx on Corsica, 50.5x on Monte Carlo 2).

Maybe you will find better settings. For me, it works perfectly.
Poo: any improvements?
Ooooops... forgot it. I have to reset my own version to hide the real settings. ;D

Okay, though I have another big task to finish before start playing it.
But that at least compels me to download Windows Live to replace the Windows Messenger on my new CPU...

Question: do you need the game with a "complete" pipsqueak (renaming can be solved somehow) or would you like to start it from the beginning of evolution mode? I have a character owning all the cars (Corundum, muhahahaha).

I would like a completely blank version. The evolution and the factory driver are always good training before time hunting competition.
But now: 'big task'. 50/400.
At my mother's. Once I said that you could send me what you want, since I could receive files there, but you said that there is nothing to be sent.
How fast is the MSN file transfer there?
Quote from: CTG on August 10, 2012, 08:53:25 AM
How fast is the MSN file transfer there?
As fast as it was throughout years... or a bit faster, because my mother selected 1 category faster internet for herself since then.
Internet connection speed is irrelevant now because the MSN file transfer is limited by other (unknown) cirumstances. We had 100 Mbps internet in the hostel (now 30 Mbps at home), but I could send only 1-2 Mbps with messenger to another computer in the same network.

Then why the fvck are you asking? How would I know then?
Maybe you accepted some files from others lately...
It's already yours now, let's start the battle! :D
Btw start with Normandie, your record is damned weak on that.

Today I may have time for it, but of course I'll start with the Evolution as training in order to regain my shape.

Driving an 356B or 911 Targa won't help you too much. You can modify the name of the existing characters by editing the .sav (?) file (I have to check it), so you can already use GT1 or 911 Turbo ('95).
the best part of that game it to drive the old cars.

They are too slow for me. The first car I really enjoy to drive is the 944 Turbo in Golden Era.
I wonder if my records would be better or worse with steering wheel...
Poo! New records, please! :P
After 6 weeks of silence I have to conclude that Akoss Poo is too crappy pipsqueak to beat my records.
Poo: any news? YOU ARE A LOSER!!!
Oh, I played this back then, it was good. I actually enjoyed driving the old cars for a change!
CERTIFIED world records of NFS:PU, with all kind of settings: http://hsscoring.com/PU/ (the table below will be updated soon)
Moving up the old message with some new records:
| Track | Akoss Poo | CTG | World Record |
| Alps | 3:04.43 (GT1) | 2:57.09 (GT1) | 2:37.40 (GT1) |
| Autobahn | 2:13.43 (GT1) | 2:10.96 (GT1) | 1:59.03 (GT1) |
| Auvergne | 2:48.09 (GT1) | 2:46.56 (GT1) | 2:27.65 (GT1) |
| Corsica | 2:12.53 (GT1) | 2:08.43 (GT1) | 1:58.59 (GT1) |
| Cot'e D'azur | 2:09.71 (GT1) | 2:06.81 (GT1) | 1:56.34 (GT1) |
| Monte Carlo 1 | 1:04.56 (GT1) | 1:01.81 (GT1) | 58.03 (GT1) |

| Pyrennées | 2:05.62 (GT1) | 2:04.50 (GT1) | 1:54.31 (GT1) |

| Zone Industrielle | 2:07.31 (GT1) | 2:05.28 (GT1) | 1:52.96 (GT1) |
Edit #1, 9th April 2013: if I compare Poo's personal records to my top 10 times on every tracks... well... his Alps, Corsica, Monte Carlo 1/3/4/5, Normandie and Zone Industrielle performance wouldn't be enough for the list, while he would be 9th on Cot'e D'Azur and Schwarzwald, 8th on Autobahn and Monte Carlo 2, 5th on Pyrennées and 4th on Auvergne.
Edit #2, 19th April 2013: I was so close to my personal best with 911 Turbo ('00) - and then drove an "almost perfect" one with GT1. Minus -1.7 seconds... :D
Edit #3, 21st April 2013: such an easy new record on Auvergne... 2:46.56!
Edit #4, 22nd April 2013: new settings, new records (Cot'e D'Azur, Pyrennées, Corsica). It's hard to adopt the "reverse" downforce values (40-25 ---> 25-50).
Edit #5, 25th April 2013: hmmm... the hsscoring source is not reliable at all. The 2004-2008 scoreboards are excluded (irrealistic times, like 1:xx on Alps and so), except for Normandie - it seems to be a realistic one.
Edit #6, 25th April 2013: Cot'e D'Azur under 2:07.
Edit #7, 26th April 2013: MC2, 51.06
Edit #8, 28th April 2013: MC1, MC3 and Alps records.
Yesterday I tried NFS-PU under Windows 8 with annoying conclusion: the game is not fluent in compatibility mode (the same happened with FIFA 98). It seems I will really use that fuckin' computer for office tasks & newer games...
Under Windows 7 I had video troubles (triangles, triangles everywhere!!!) which were solved by switching to software rendering, IIRC. Any luck with that? Or does it just (cowardly) refuse to start?

The old computer is in the service (after half a year without usage), so the possibility will come back... :)
Btw who is your favorite A.I. opponent?
TOP3: Stephanie, Dylan, Parise
Hated opponents: Machine, O'connell, Rolf

Liked: Parise, Wingnut

Btw the game is quite stupid: if you check the in-game face of A.I. opponents, Stephanie will be a man (while Parise or Dylan is a chick).
Tonight I'll give a try to this game on my old computer, but I'm pretty sure the TOP10 times for each tracks will remain the same. ::)
First shot: hypercrappy 2:25 on Normandie... ::) :o
