Documentation / Profile ini [view]
May 09, 2021, 09:39:38 PM
I've tried playing around with the shiftmul values in the profile.ini file (http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?msg=40893), but have had a hard time noticing any difference. I'm guessing 1.0 is normal and 0.0 has no effect?  Also I've been assuming "Decrease the values to reduce the effect of g-forces on the first onboard view." the first onboard view is the 'first' first person?

My initial thoughts on what this is supposed to do is similar to what the 'lock to bike' setting does, being 0.0 would mimic not locked to bike, and 1.0 is normal.  Is this wrong?

Support / Axis Inversion
December 20, 2019, 06:07:13 AM
I'm trying to invert a thumbstick axis on an Xbox 360 controller.  I took a look at the controls.txt, but it's not making much sense to me.  Is it as easy as making one of the numbers negative?  What does each number mean?  Is this even possible to do?

General Discussion / Noob's Questions and Comments
March 24, 2016, 08:36:47 AM
New to MX Bikes, long time mxs player (since around late 2008ish) and before that MvA on PC and mcm2.  I played one of the older betas a year or so back, got frustrated and didn't play until beta 4 came out.  Played it a few times and finally bought a license tonight.  Mainly just playing the MXB Club track, got down to a 55.9 on the 250f.  I'll start with a few questions I have then comments:

1. When I start the game it turns Windows aero off/changes theme in Win7 64 Home Premium.  Any way to stop this?  I think it reduces the color bit depth too, my wallpaper on my second monitor has noticeable color banding when the game is open.

2. Is there some sort of formula/guideline/rule of thumb for replay length vs. buffer size?  I think I have mine set to 200MB (btw the mxbikes.ini documentation topic says the value is in megabytes, but I believe it is actually in bytes: http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=198.0) and has saved every lap in a session after I set that (up to 20ish laps?).  Just wondering once multiple bikes come into play how much more buffer size is needed.

3. Right now I'm using 17% direct lean and 87% stability help. I've gradually reduced the direct lean as I've gotten more comfortable.  Is direct lean the most applicable way to have a tighter turning radius?  I often find myself at full lock wishing I could turn tighter.

Comments:
-I'd love to see the movement of the 2nd first person camera on the 1st first person camera (camera move with the rider).  I really like the angle of the first camera, but dislike how it doesn't move with the rider.  I'm so used to mxs where the camera is in that angle (very close to the default camera) and also moves with the rider, I feel like I can't tell what the rider is doing even though I'm telling him to move back/forward etc.

-I've had multiple game crashes randomly for no apparent reason, I'll try to keep better details from here on out.

-I don't use the rider lean hardly ever.  I have my controller setup to use it but I don't really notice a difference when I use it in turns (either way; leaning into the turn or opposite the turn to mimic weighing the outside peg).  I can't whip/scrub yet so I don't use it in the air.  I just tend to believe it could hep in some situations to save an oversteer moment or something, it's just I don't feel a difference in handling when I use it.

I'll probably think of more but that's it for now  ;).
