Can anyone control motorbikes?

[CyrusPI]

I'm saddened that the bikes don't work for everyone. They're very useful.

I can drive them with relative ease, with an FPS of around 50-60. In the city or in areas where there are bumps and/or obstacles, I tend to slow down to avoid speeding right into those tricky light poles that materialize right in front of you. ()

But on the open road like parts of Al Basrah's open desert, I put the pedal to the metal. Interestingly enough, the bike becomes easier to control, much smoother, when at full speed on these wide desert expanses. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like it turns cleaner. (Granted, it may be the looser movement of the FPS rise due to less objects being rendered)

Also, this may be a placebo, but I think pressing/holding Shift gives the bikes a boost like in a Humvee or Land Rover.

Drive safely.

Been on the receiving end and the ramming end.

Also, Go slow, use your mouse for most of your turns, and don't hit bumps.

For me mouse on this thing is to sensitive. I never can go straight. For me it's 10 times more hard then driving a real bike.

I never drive them due to the weird lag (that only happens on the bike) but I just love seeing one come by at the speed of sound and desintegrate on the nearest obsticle.

But as everyone else said, it takes ALOT of practice.

yeah the first time you power slide round a corner and scream off down the road it makes all the practice worth while

The worst thing about motorcicles its when you can't even lift it up, whatever you do, accelerate, reverse moving the mouse, you get stuck e neither Alah himself can make it...

Lol. I have got to try that.

Yeah, they have a tendency to do that. Best thing to do is to point the front of the bike away from the road and gun the gas so that you can lift the bike as you gain speed.

It's irritating though, cause it's very funky to do and often damages the bike a bit, since it seems to scrape along the road.




I would love to see the 'lean' restricted to certain angles so that when you get on the bike it won't topple over and land on top of you when sitting still. Just as long as it's not too restrictive that you can't lean into your turns properly.
