The softer compounds do have more grip than the hard compounds that is on OEM models? So not sure why you think/say this?

This bugged me at for ages but pretty sure it's not representing compound in MXB (although they are different). A Soft tyre in MX is for soft ground, the nobbles are more spaced but the rubber is a harder compound. Hard tyres are for hard surfaces they have more of a contact patch with less space between the nobbles for a bigger contact patch but would be a softer compound.

I wondered why you were describing the tyres with rolling resistance due to compound 

We just raced the practice server to save hassle.


Thanks to all that raced.

Full now, but if people want to add their names i'll give them first refusal if there's any no shows.

As with all tracks, just look in your tracks folder and use the name on the folders to set that track in a server ini file. To set a different track layout look in a track folder to see the different layouts available (you'll see sub folders with layout names) and set one of those in the "track_layout =" in the ini.

That first video also demonstrates how leaning forward dips the back end nicely

I don't see that TFC? You can see he starts the jump nose up and then lets off the throttle and pulls the clutch, then hits the rear brake to bring the nose down so he can rev the bike again for the landing, so he can be on the power when the rear wheel contacts the dirt again (which helps reduce the impact). He didn't lean forward or back, it just looks that way due the bike moving.

No sorry BJ, if it goes on for a long time due to problems, which it has in the past, it'll finish too late and I need my beauty sleep  Ideally need everyone ready for a 20.30 race start.

If I get anything worth showing i'll make a vid of it now I've found what seems to be high failure point.

I can understand it if it only happens when you send it and flat land from a big jump, that's to be expected to some degree IRL, a human can only take so much impact. It's only the landing without overshooting on a down slope with the rear wheel down that's annoying me. I will try again tonight but yesterday I could not get the example I mentioned on Winchester to occur on the stock 250 at all and I had the rear wheel way down. With an MX2 OEM bike it seemed that with even a sniff of rear down on the same jump I was off, haven't tried any others yet.

What went wrong? Was my landing so bad?

check this video out. thanks!

That's the landing on back wheel bug I talked about earlier. Annoying, isn't it?

Indeed it is. Started riding on Winchester yesterday and this rear wheel landing bug seemed to happen lots on the first jump our of the pits. Simply landing with the rear wheel lower than the front on a down slope had me crash more often than not. So switched to the stock MSM 250XF and no matter how hard I tried it would not do the same, so it seems like it's just the MOD bikes or at least some of them. Is this known and understood?

Also the stock tyres on this track seemed better to me, easier to power slide, especially on off camber turns.

[Announcing a Fun Race at Matterley Basin (Winchester) on MX2 OEM Bikes]

Announcing a Fun Race at Matterley Basin (Winchester) on MX2 OEM Bikes

Wednesday 5th April 20:30 UTC

All Riders Welcome

Could't run a race last week but back this week with another MX classic.

Designed in 2006, and created in only 2 weeks, the Matterley Basin Circuit is on of the most beloved tracks on the Race Calendar. In 2006, the circuit held a British Motocross Grand Prix, and a Motocross of Nations. The Motocross of Nations brought in an unimaginable crowd due to several circumstances, mostly being Stefan Everts last ever professional career race, the likes of Bubba Stewart, Ivan Tadesco and Ryan Villopoto.

Event Details

To participate you will require this MX2-OEM pack containing bikes and tyres -
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B69-MKQxCg7IbUdGaURhWVFJd00&export=download
(FYI - If you been on any MXB server with MODs in the last few days, you already have these)

And this track -
The track comes with the game.


2 servers will be used for this event, 1 server will be running practice for all and when the event starts a separate server will be used to hold the races. Those taking part will be called to join the race server and when finished will need to return to the practice server to await their next race call. The heat races will be short to keep waiting times down with the main being slightly longer.

The heats will be setup to run in different formats depending on the number of riders but should also allow for lag free racing that can be replayed to a decent standard. Heat and final races will currently contain a maximum of 8 riders, maybe lower depending on turnout. A single race might be held if numbers are too low to run heats. For initial heat selection names will be drawn at random.

Due to what I think are net code limitations in Beta6 I will only be running 8 people in races for now (as it stands with 8 already in a server joining seems to be a lottery). If I can figure out a way to organise larger races I will but for now this will have to suffice.


Collisions and deformation will be on.

Looking Slice. Don't forget you can turn up your replay buffer to get way more than 1 lap in replay 

Supermoto Update -

Have updated the SM server to the latest by Jose -  http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=1598.0

As soon as I see my bike doing this I lean forward and it stops. I guess the bikes weight under power is towards the back and makes the front end light, with little front traction the rider then goes to extremes to try and keep the bike at the lean angle you're asking for.
