Dirtbikes

Post by Incognito84 »

Has anyone figured out how to actually drive those things?

They're nearly impossible to drive. Everytime I try to take one on a windy road, I can't make any of the turns and I crash into every object around. Is there an art to it? What keys should I be using? Thanks.

Your mouse is just leaning, Use A/D to make tight turns.

think of it like a helicopter that doesn't go up and down.

lean using the mouse, like the roll on a helicopter

and left and right is a and d, which is like a rudder.

When at speed use the roll, when needing to do sharpe turns, use the rudder.

And when you need to go straight forward take a car, or walk ;)

Last weekend I drove the bike around kashan desert in training mode. Went from the jet training base to the heli base and back again... the bike blew up when i decided to take a detour from the road and go to a bit of off roading :(

Still held up very well, fun to drive when you get used to it. :P

Edit: Also if you move the mouse forward or back, it pitches it in the air, or allows u to do a wheelie or something off a bump.

really the bikes might benefit from a lower cruising speed but the same boost speed, as going slower lets u offroad better.

Here is a good tip on using the dirtbike: Don't use it

I love the controls for the dirtbikes but they need to be more able to handle offroading and be less glitchy once that is fixed then they are perfect. Well if your passage could fire there weapon to then perfect.
If a bomb lands 20 feet from your position, then I'm coming around for another shot.
P.S. Sorry that I missed the first time.

I find the dirtbikes on Op. Archer to be great on the smoother hills around the airport to the north. :) It's a bit of a challenge driving it in urban areas, but it's still doable if you go at it slow. That becomes a problem with hostiles in the area however. :p

The dirtbike would be a perfectly fine vehicle if it didn't act as if you had a ping of 1000
