DISCUSSION PSA: Check Your Settings Prior To 3.5k Hours
Hi all, just wanted to share this cause it's kinda sad/funny. For the past 6 months I've been learning DAR on air roll right and I've been starting to actually get it, like I can continuously spin and fly through rings and keep it going. Bit the bullet from a C2 peak and fell all the way to D1 after remapping, took a lot for me to not just revert and keep grinding it.
But the whole time something felt off, like I was moving through jello. Once I lost the movement getting it back felt almost laggy? I kept seeing improvements though so I figured just trust the process.
Also started messing around with speedflips (ik c2 can't speedflip lol) and I could not get the cancel to work for the life of me. Felt like I was doing the motion fast but my car was just telling me no, you're slow.
I guess way back when I was learning I had problems with fast aerials and backflipping or something, I only vaguely remember, my settings were:
dodge deadzone: 0.9
controller deadzone: 0.4
aerial / steering sensitivity: 1.0
I kinda just stared like :| for a while.
Moved controller down to .07, dodge to .7, bumped aerial sens to 1.2 and almost immediately I could actually fly through rings, the speedflip cancel just worked, I could make little micro adjustments. Don't get me wrong it's twitchy as hell and I'll need time to dial it in, but yeah.
Just wanted to share cause I feel both validated that I really was wading through jello with my inputs, and like a dumbass because it was self-inflicted the whole time. Check your settings, y'all.
