Title: Jump start
Post by: 𝖙𝖋𝖈 on July 16, 2018, 10:56:27 AM
Hey hey..

Can you please reconsider the jump start from MXB entirely? The gate should in theory prevent anyone from being able to jump start, and it's plagued online since the first time we could all play together.

There must be a better way of doing it, like create a bounding box that if left triggers a jump start, but make it big and forgiving. You should be able to nudge the gate with your front wheel and back up slightly without causing a jump start.

Better yet, allow the bike to move a certain amount and then hit an invisible wall behind so people can't get launch space.

great idea mate, irl you can do quite alot which you cant in MXB. this includes changing your starting trajectory to achieve better traction or to avoid a rut right outside the gate.

Would love to see this happen as well. I got kicked from my first race yesterday for the same thing. I backed up a little just because i didn't know any better and got DQ'd.

Worse still on some tracks the grid is on a bad part of heightmap and you have to hold brake so you don't roll back.
