Hay people just a heads up I really don't have the time to be MOD for DIRT 5 anymore and i haven't actually been on here for a good few months. So im going to pass the torch to someone else,
If you want to take over just do what i did when the previous guy left Write in support and follow instructions and someone will be appointed as a new moderator.
Hope you all carry on smashing times but im out. have fun see you all around sometime
To make everything a little bit easier I have renamed the tracks and added the country they are from in capital letters at the begging of the track name, so now when you want to find the track to upload your time to you can easily find it by name of county instead of reading every track name.
BRAZIL ITALY MOROCCO etc.
So all the tracks are now added into the leaderboards for you, with a better way to see them, as they are now in order of how they are in the game with the track name and the reverse version underneath it.
Also I have taken the Finish category and removed it completely and replaced it with Free Run 2 laps as that's what most seem to do, (solo car runs 2 laps)
I also added a Campaign section to the leaderboard so this is strictly now for campaign levels or runs that have Full AI grid Present in Free run.
So now the leaderboard has 3 types or events 1 lap time trials 2 lap free run events (not all tracks can do 2 laps) Campaign levels/Full AI grid Free run (some stages can't do less cars)
I will go through the videos and put them in the right leaderboards. So you have more choice on how to set times in the game than ever before and hopefully a better understanding of leaderboard rules made simpler
Just make sure you have the end of the stage times screen showing in the video as it makes it easier for me to verify times, Also prefer if the beginning of the stage select is in it also, so if clicked free run and track or if in campaign mode selected track.
As title says it is now active on the leaderboards.
no more confusion
when you submit you run, at the top now it will have FINISH or TIMETRIAL
If your run is for Time Trial mode (1 lap for the leaderboard) select that section as its now a completely different leaderboard option, with its on records👍🎉
Again FINISH is for CAMPAIGN/FREE PLAY 2 laps with as many opponents in the race with you, (think minimum is 1) TIME TRIAL is 1 lap runs for leaderboard ranks 0 opponents just you ghosts and the clock
Some levels are for distance but if you have opponents in the race with you put it as FINISH. If solo by yourself TIME TRIAL ill look over the rest of the video's from us all and move them into the correct Leaderboard, in the week to come.
alight seeing as the last guy left, I submitted it and got I to be a new mod for this game.
So for now rules are as follows. have fun and race, set those times and enjoy the game.
But 1 note here, make sure you post up your FULL TIMES in the run when submitting, so if it 4:45:567 make sure all is in it, not just 4:45. or I won't accept them as its easier for me if everything is correct as honestly this will be learn as we go type of deal lol.
Rules for submissions if its an empty leaderboard put what you did in the description box. So I'E campaign - arcade free run 2 laps, or even 100% distance
Default - campaign 1st choice as it sets a specific car class group to choose from. We can all follow it
If the track is not in campaign then go for free run 2 laps, as many cars as you want what ever difficulty it doesn't matter.
last resort time trial mode as stated above its just 1 lap. So your gonna beat a record set if they do it in campaign or free run
Once I get a hang on this, ill see about adding time trial events to the leaderboards as a separate category, so we can do 1 lap runs as well, which solves all problems.
but for now enjoy and smash those times
So checking some videos and I see some runs are time trails and others are arcade runs with other cars. So asking what the rules are, as obviously your gonna get faster times with 0 cars on tracks for a time trial run.
can you not set 2 categories up so arcade runs = other cars/arcade mode time trial = solo
If not have it as 1 but but TT in video so can work out what's what ourselves
yea my bad i posted up the time trail run for a rally raid video to submit, might wanna delete it and i will link right video
Can I use the model2 emulator for my times, whilst using an aimtrak lighgun. If show setting before video?
Also asking this for VIRTUA COP 2 and HOUSE OF THE DEAD ORIGINAL
