Yeah I got it, I don't like the handling a great deal, it's not as bad as Most Wanted (SO BAD) but it's no where as fun as the handling of Free Run in Underground 2.

The Drift handling is so stupid, it's like the car is on a rail track, you don't have real control.

& The normal race / free run handling is poor, it's like Major understeer & NEVER any oversteer, & if you try to do a handbrake 180, you'd be lucky to make it to 60 degree's

The graphics engine is inefficient like f#cking always with EA games too, they need themselves a proper graphics engine & some more efficient programmers FFS.

EDIT: Tweaked graphics setting (VSYNC on making huge improvment), looks pretty nice & playable FPS now, still needs graphics engine like HL2 or FarCry though :rofl:

Owww & found an awesome Res mod. if you're running a widescreen or HD monitor. 1920 * 1200 kicks ass :)

I got this info on another forum. It works ok for me.

"Do this to fix Carbon for widescreen...

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/...title=Downloads

1.Download the program called Universal Widescreen (UniWS) Patcher

2. Go into your Need for Speed Carbon directory and name the exe file speed2.exe

3. Open up the program you just downloaded and select Need for Speed Underground 2 from its game menu

4. Enter the resolution you want in the program

5. Locate the directory for Carbon in the program and click "Patch"

6. Launch Carbon and select the 640x480 resolution

7. Finished!

Notice: Make sure to backup the original Carbon exe for updating your game later with official patches!

Enjoy!"

yeh just finished it last night....

Negatives:

dont like the graphics,

gameplay is to arcadey

cars handle like boats

RICE x 1000

Possitives:

drifting is awesome (unrealistic though)

and thats about it...

Can anybody recommend any racing games on PC besides the NFS series?

I dream of games like Gran Turismo & Wipeout on PC.

awwww wipeout, that brings back memories! the last wiepout i played was the first one on psone... :D

not that i thought it was bad... its was great... i just never got around to playing the newer ones...

Man Wipeout rules, everyone one of them has been great on the Playstation, & they only ever got better too! ‘unlike dam NFS / EA games’

Wipeout Pure (PSP)

Wipeout Fusion (PS2)

Wipoout 3 (PSONE)

Wipeout 2097 'or something like that' (PSONE)

Wipeout (PSONE)

Cannot wait for another Wipeout game on PS3, that will rock in widescreen HD!

Get GTR2 if you want the most realistic racing game. Thing like setting the tyre psi if theres cloud cover

but theres no drifting in there just straight circuit racing :P should be a 32 GTR and Cosworth Siera RS500 soon (see the GTR2 demo thread last page)

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
