Not really sure if cheating is occurring, it might just be a strange timing bug that sneaked through. A very slow friend of mine was able to out qualify me by a few seconds on Norisring.
I do think though, before we label someone a cheat...we have to do our homework sort of speak, have concrete evidence etc... Certainly not saying anyone is lying by any means, but I would need to see the race etc...
this evening he/she/it had said, that he/she/it is new to the game and he/she/it told us on the server, how awesome the game is XD ... I don't know, but since the mp does still have major issues, I don't care anyway ... maybe it's a time delay, or a cheat ...don't know... Well, I am happy when I can connect to a mp race at all...and see "cars" racing the circuit ...lol
You could make the same case against a few guys around here but I know they're not cheating. They're just way better than you and me. I've seem way more ridiculous Q times than that out of Nance.
Some years from now, when we're all facing the Terminator apocalypse, historians will point to the time when skin exfoliating bots mutated and started sim racing as the start of it all. "Sarah Connor?" "Yes?" "Have you tried our new lift and reshape face cream?"
Well yeah... there are some very quick drivers like James Nance... But if James could do a time below 0:50min @ Norisring with a DTM92 BMW M3? I'm not so sure... I think a Time below 0:52 is not possible with that car. Have anyone seen him Racing in that race? how was his pace there? Maybe a video of the replay available?
true, GearGrinder, but this has got to be a cheat. i was on norisring when this happened too. and i think a 49 sec lap is impossible in the dtm92 bmw. even for an alien. i tried to watch him with the race monitor during quali, but for some reason his car wouldn't show up when i cycled thru all the drivers. i don't know what he's doing exactly, but its seems like a speed and/or grip hack.
The game has still some issues and i would propose to turn-off the fire for the moment...or cook a tea and wait for the hotfix. I had some MP races where cars had timelags and were jumping back and forth. Maybe this also affects the laptime and is more noticeable at such a short track like Norisring.
If Tim says it's impossible, I believe him. Tim is the Alien King. Time to scrap the build and start over. Thanks Angelos!
