07:20.36TutTankAhmonhi all
07:20.46blast007hi
07:23.41TutTankAhmonanyone has a piece of advice to improve my dodging in ducati ?
07:23.51TutTankAhmonregarding radar settings
07:24.50ConstitutionTutTankAhmon: if a shot is coming at you, move out of the way
07:25.18TutTankAhmonConstitution: OOOOoooooh
07:25.35TutTankAhmonThat's THE trick
07:25.45TutTankAhmoni always try to stop bullets with my face
07:26.50blast007"Look, bullet! OWWW, bullet hurt! ME KILL BULLET!! OWW!"
07:31.05TutTankAhmon"my windshield is cracked but i'm still alive  har har har"
07:33.32BulletCatcherStop trying to steal my playing secrets.
07:34.51TutTankAhmonsometimes , it's better to suicide than give a point to NTH , no ?
07:35.27BulletCatcherBut seriously, adjust the size of your radar so it is as big as you can tolerate.
07:36.11BulletCatcherI have "set radarsize 26" in my config file.
07:36.52TutTankAhmoni have biggest possible radar (30) and linedradarshots to 30
07:37.26BulletCatcherI manually set linedradarshots to 40.  It seems to be just about right for me.
07:38.10TutTankAhmoni bind to keys   radar zoom values  1 , 0.5 and 0.25
07:38.52BulletCatcherI use the default zoom settings.  It is fine for most maps.
07:39.43BulletCatcherFor Ducati-style, you need to learn to predict where the shots will rico to.  It just takes experience.
07:39.44TutTankAhmonBulletCatcher: do u use transparent radar or black background ?
07:40.16BulletCatcherTransparent, so I can still (mostly) see out the window.
07:41.24BulletCatcherI tend to aim by looking out the window.  I'm not sure whether that helps or hurts more.
07:41.37TutTankAhmonok , then i'm afraid that it's not a setting problem ; I'M SIMPLY BAD
07:41.48BulletCatcherPractice, practice, practice.
07:41.49TutTankAhmon:D
07:41.58TutTankAhmoni play since 5 years
07:42.15TutTankAhmoni hope to improve before parkinson kick me
07:43.36BulletCatcherYou have Parkinson's disease?
07:44.18TutTankAhmonno, but I think that this disease would ruin my hopes to do any good score at this game
07:44.50BulletCatcherOkay, glad to hear that.  Yes, it would make playing difficult.
07:44.58TutTankAhmoni'm near 40 now .... I must hurry
07:45.16TutTankAhmon:D
07:46.12BulletCatcherOlder players just need to play smarter, but sometimes there is no substitute for quick reflexes.
07:51.33TutTankAhmonnothing legal, you mean :D  (j/k)
07:53.18blast007;)
07:53.26BulletCatcherCheating will get you banned, and therefore is not the smart thing to do.
07:59.21TutTankAhmoni'm not a teen anymore ; no interest in cheating
08:07.01TutTankAhmonis there a mean to increase thickness of radar shot lines ?
08:12.56blast007not as far as I know
08:13.05blast007just length
