The Dirt Daily Thread

Recommended Posts

Had a horrifying run in the R4. The default setups for both the Lancer and the Impreza make them feel like a WW1 tank.

Alright Delta Daily. Was having difficulty getting into groove after watching Rally Argentina powerstage. It was fun stage, definitely got some Argentina vibes driving it  :p

True, true.
Was a good Delta for me, too. Although I don't like the R4s at all. Way too clunky for how modern they are.

PP actually went really good. Gotta agree with Porky a little on the setup. It's really not great. The understeer was not as bad as I expected, at least on the gravel sections. Wouldn't wanna drive the full tarmac climb in that one...
But the gearbox, boy, they definitely had the intern put that one together. Horrible stuff.

Short clip/stunt from yesterday's Delta. I had a comfortable lead at the time so I figured I'd chance it :smiley:

RX daily was just meh 

Enjoyed the wager event, had a really good run, didn't push particularly hard but just seemed to have a good flow. Helped being on my favourite stage in the game!

What a ride on daily 2!! A bit lucky though to make it trough the stage with no major errors; quite a difficult combination of car and stage. P3 at the moment, very pleased with that!

I really don't like the default setup for the car on the wager. It's far too floaty. 
I crashed out on second corner. I put down max wager aswell. Rather disappointed  :/

I took the wager carefully. I figured enough people would have trouble with that car that just finishing should be enough. It wasn't fast, but it was mostly clean. Max stake, we'll see how it goes.

Daily: Polo, Sweden. Made a noob mistake that costed me a good 2 seconds. Annoyed, since the rest of the run was very good. Hoping it's enough for a top 5.
Delta: Hyundai, Germany. Nice, clean, and I think it was pretty fast as well.

Well, the dailies:

Daily: the Polo, embarrassing 1 min and 4 seconds behind Porkhammer, flipped the car twice and spun out 3 times, I think it's safe to say that Sweden rally is not my strong point.

Delta: I wasn't concentrating and thought I'll just do this daily quick before I continue my championship. Wrong attitude, the second hay bale was my tire killer, it destroyed my right front tire, didn't feel like completing on 3 wheels and felt useless to repair it, so I retired.

I like Germany, but i really dislike that chicane, it just gets me so often. :X That near end braking point too, downhill one.

Some Jekyll and Hyde dailies today.

Sweden: Terrible. As always. 2 resets, some spins. Laughable time and position.

Germany: Quite good, still in the top 100 right now.

Had a good run going in Sweden till the end where i slid a little too much and touched a spectator for a reset. :(
Germany in the Hyundai felt pretty good but times weren't too hot. 
Oh well, still fun times.

Daily seems pretty boring with a boring car, so the owners' club combo of Wales & Stratos appealed to me more today. A quick 3:05 in practice which was a nice enough warmup, pushed for a 3:03 in the daily and spun in the noobiest of places. No point proceeding.

Daily... Kadett, Monaco. I don't know why, but the sound of this thing is just.. I don't like it. It has a "do i have to, uhhh" kind of noise, which bothers me. Anyway, decided to go for it. Trying too hard, some small mistakes.. but I think the time is quick enough for a podium by reset.

Had a decent run in the Opel, top 5 on xbox but 12 seconds off Porks time. Considering I didn't practice beforehand, had standard setup and I haven't driven the car since I fully upgraded it I'm quite happy with it. Knew there was places I could shave a decent amount of time off, just wanted to get to the end without having to stick it in reverse.

Going back a day to the Hyundai/Germany stage, I had a weird graphical glitch where the inside of the cockpit was multicoloured (mostly pink) pixelated and impossible to ignore. I tried to begin with but crashed straight away. I checked in custom event afterwards and the problem wasn't there, and I can't find anything similar online. Don't know if anyone has experienced the same?

Edit - literally straight after posting that I was bound to find a video. Its on a different car but exactly the same as I experienced during the Hyundai daily event. They're also playing on xbox.

Umm yeaaaaa. Just wasted both dailies. I got the stage loading screen, after that the racenet connection failed and I get thrown out. Can't enter again. Bollocks/pung.

Been messing with any mods recently?                
Well, did download the newest version of the camera mod on racedepartment. But I did the dailies yesterday with that and previous versions has never been a problem.

So it's not the presence of that, you most likely backed up or have the backup or renamed files in your install folder, remove them.

I don't mind the sound of the Kadett, but I feel that way about the Ibiza. I can't drive that car, I just hate the way it sounds.

I actually sounds ok, what bothers me are the crazy close gear ratios. It's sounds much nicer and feels much nicer with longer gears.
