Dazza290 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 (edited) Ive had 14.0's in a Mk1 and 280c Edit: Sorry mis-read post, I have had 14.0's offline, quickest online i think were in the 14.1's, havent really race Unlim 1 cars there much so cant quite remember Scrappy is probably the quickest about so i think he would know best. Who set that time online? Edited January 2, 2006 by Dazza684 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobby Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Danny530, free league guy, he set that time in the world final tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Dippy400* Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Said it was one of Cunny's setups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza290 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Said it was one of Cunny's setups Quite possible that it is a pukka time, especially if its one of Cunny's setups, however it would really take some doing i feel to get that sorta of time online. (For instance i have never seen Cunny getting those sorts of time there, and he is a fast driver) Were there any cheat messages then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobby Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Yeah, 2 cheat messages came up, 1 for another driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod331 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 after just playing arena online in a wreck up i got a 14.914 in a mk2 salon and i havent played for a long time so maybe he just had the luck? just my veiw rodder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedz 212 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Yeah, 2 cheat messages came up, 1 for another driver. if he was on of them with a cheat message then only one thing really in my mind sad is all i can say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesy Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 i only did one race last night as it was clear people were using modded cars,sorry dippy but thats it for me m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny78 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 For some reason loads of people are saying they've got my setups, I dunno how tho I havent done 14.0 around arena, best was 14.1. Was talking to Rev a while ago on MSN, he said that someone was using my setups, when he added this guy in, I asked him the name of the setups and he said he didnt know guess people are using modded cars.

Cunny78 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Actually I won't be surprised if he did do 14.0. Had my XJS running at 14.3 at Arena Firecracker last year. (well LeeK did ) XJS is quite abit slower than the unlim class 1's too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkles Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 ive managed 14.1 round arena in a 280 and thats not the best setup so you might be able to do it. cheers parky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveW329 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 first of all did you save replay if so uploaded im sure people will be able to tell if its a modded car also just wondering if that the person went into corner full bore and used someone as a turning guide to get the time ( not sure tho as im not a banger man Lol ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knobby Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 ive the replay. he hit no one on the lap,was on his own, he even clipped the wall on striaght which would of slowed him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveW329 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 With what you say then knobby definately sounds like a modded car as clipping wall is at least a .100 of a loss in time so that means he would be on a 13.9 lap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMid Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I don't know anything about what you're specifically talking about, but I will say that clipping the wall can be one of the fastest ways round some tracks in the F1s (Thinking of NIR and I think King's Lynn) so it's possible the same is true with bangers. Cheat messages by themselves, are a bit of a red herring. Just some words of caution before the witch hunt, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Dippy400* Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) I also have a clip of a somewhat solid car was just woundering what your views were on it ill upload it in a second. EDIT: Cant seem to get it to upload onto file manager. Anyone wants to view that one or the "quick" car replay i have them both. Speak to me on msn if so.

Cunny78 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 In question, the person wasnt cheating, well speedwise anyway, went the same speed up the straight as anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza290 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 In question, the person wasnt cheating, well speedwise anyway, went the same speed up the straight as anyone else. In theory , you wouldnt have to alter the speed of the car to make it faster, all you have to do is perhaps make the tyres slightly wider for example and it would give you more grip in the corners, hence more speed. There are plenty of little tricks you can do to a car to make it quicker, but would almost certainly result in a cheat message, so if he didnt have a cheat message them im pretty sure it was a good,clean, honest lap.

MoR137 Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Its a shame that this is going to happen now, more and more people are getting the tools of modelling available to them, and the physics file isnt that hard to get too really....... its a shame there is no way of locking .car files to make them uncrackable.... Shame that it going to come to this, as its going to hurt ukdirt alot if it reachs here Might be one for admin discussions, how to tackle cheat messages..... I know it'll be a hard one to sort out though, as johnmid said, cheat messages aren't the most reliable of things..... i've had loads of them before in the past and i don't know why, and im sure other people have, so how do we keep an eye on such things if they appear to be random at times? Just a thought anyway.... the only thing i can say, is if anyone is caught cheating, ban them for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said Ive had cheat messages before and I wouldnt dream of cheating, so what happens if someone gets banned for life who hasnt cheated "wrongly accused£ so to speak. If that happened to me I would be gutted! Also me and knobby have been talking about a solid way to stop modders but its gonna take a lot of looking at and going over but would be an offensive weapon against suspected modders.

People wouldnt just say 'ur banned for life' no doubt it would be looked into quite abit before the right choice is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
