MBKF1 91 Posted October 6, 2014 Time for another question, and this week I want to know how many flashbacks you are likely to use in the majority of your races. Some use none, some love a few, some love loads, so lets see what collectively you think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MBKF1 91 Posted October 6, 2014 I normally prefer to use 2 flashbacks, so in a longer race I can afford to make a couple of mistakes and rejoin without ruining my race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjsharp2010 227 Posted October 6, 2014 I usually set mine to 4 as that's usually enough for me. I do make mistakes and I like to give myself some room to manoeuvre especially on tracks that I struggle like Monaco and Suzuka but I don't like being too reliant on them though. So I find establishing a limit is a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stevomock 13 Posted October 6, 2014 I use flashbacks for things I don't agree with, like stupid penalties or stupid driving by AI. If I make mistakes I usually leave them. I usually don't use any throughout a race, but there's no need to limit their availability to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gui1 0 Posted October 6, 2014 Unlimited. I always push to the limit and as a result i have a lot of mistakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AyrotonS296 0 Posted October 6, 2014 I use three because my siblings are always walking in and distracting me when im racing, so i need a few Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Liaveil 147 Posted October 7, 2014 None. If I crash, I crash. Get a penalty, then I probably deserved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antonius2004 0 Posted October 7, 2014 Unlimited if the handling is atrocious, but in general I use them for mistakes made by A.I. or stupid penalties, sometimes for the odd mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpecOps1UK 0 Posted October 7, 2014 No flashbacks for obvious reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SASBlink 1 Posted October 8, 2014 When we set custom cups up we only ever put one flash back on, everyone is allowed one mistake, after that, if you crash then you have deal with losing places and acquiring damage. It makes everyone more careful and respectful as they know they cant use the flashbacks all the time and if they want to win they have to be perfect with overtakes and in corners. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TMDol 0 Posted October 8, 2014 I will set unlimited flashbacks to unwind and avoid AI nonsense, dodgy penalties/pitstops etc. I race 100% in career and without the odd flashback I'd have smashed my console to pieces. Sometimes they are needed otherwise it's too frustrating if your race is ruined in the last stint due to a glitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RTAnoskills 0 Posted October 8, 2014 When racing , I dont usually need any, When there are dirty players in the room, I use my flashbacks to repair my car after putting them through a wall. I would prefer zero flashbacks, like Grid 1. That will make people drive with care. If you flashback happy people didnt have any, you would have no choice but to improve, and make less mistakes in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammyfan123 0 Posted October 8, 2014 Unlimited because I make lots of mistakes. Also, some people may choose 0 flashbacks if they want but others may want to use them so for me, the more options there are, more players will be happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
