NGL I'm gonna give this a go next time I head to an Arcade Club

[@tomfum]

Great video. EVERYONE should play manual and gearshift its just sooooo much better.

[@TK1s_Big_Love]

I had no idea this was a thing, will def be checking this out, great vid

[@MrThunderwing]

Glad I could help

I know this is just the basics on gear drifts, but you dont even need to straighten out to chain gear drifts, the moment the car faces completely forward with the camera in a countersteer out of a corner you hit another gear drift and it acts like a new drift. There's also some weird shenanigans you can do knowing this, time trial pros just go full speed through the final corners of SP 5E by countersteering out of the first hairpin very early and using a chained gear drift to not hit the wall, the car will magically straighten out tho its def not as simple in execution.

[@TheRetroMartin]

Seems like it's less buttons but needs to be much faster than the gear drifting in Daytona! I'll have to remember this when I finally get my Xbox and can play this game. It keeps staring at me from the shelf! Great stuff Alex!

[@MrThunderwing]

Thanks Martin mate!

I love that you used the term picosecond! I use that term too sometimes! It's funny and clearly means you have to do it fast I never gear drifted in outrun 2. Never tried manual gears for that matter Played it many many times, even many games of 8 player system link! Which is about as much fun you can have gaming. period. Thanks for this golden tip, baddy! And also thanks for the way you play it. Really helps to know how a pro does things! You know that on the og xbox version as well as obviously the pc version you can easily swap the music. I put sst band arrange mixes and other remixes in their place. The titles in hame will not change so you have to write down what you changed to what

[@MrThunderwing]

I've swapped out a load of tunes in the PC version previously, didn't know it was something that could be easily done in the OG Xbox game though.

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

@@MrThunderwing Really just the same way that you did it in the pc version. Obviously, have OR2 running on the xbox interal hdd.

[@De_kaid]

@@dbnpoldermans4120 ontop of that for outrun 2006 coast 2 coast you can also move the lens flare offset file on Xbox just like on pc

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

@@De_kaid Great! I had no idea. I play mainly OR2 since that version supports 8 player system link and hs the scud race tracks. Any gacks for OR2 on xbox?

[@De_kaid]

@@dbnpoldermans4120 or2 is fine afaik, technically the japanese release is better since you can actually get all the cards and stuff like that, but I wouldn't know if those changes are possible to convert to the ntsc u and pal releases.

[@Shingatsu279]

Thanks ! I just learn a few things from one of my fav game (even if i mostly played the SP version). Curious to try that on an arcade cabinet (even if it's gonna be a lot harder to be quick) !

[@dogey8831]

i just got my xbox back up and running with my new crt, ill have to try that out!

[@KristorpherWright]

I've lost so many good runs to Skyscraper and Goal D (SP). For Skyscrapers... That one set turns always gave me problems on both home console and on the rare chance on arcade. I think i learned Gear Drift when I was playing Coast to Coast.

[@MrThunderwing]

Likewise, Skyscrapers and Milky Way (and Jungle before them) I've cocked up so many times...

[@LoganTheDevilMayCryFan]

I'll have to attempt a gear drift when I start playing Coast 2 Coast on PSP again. I always pick automatic instead of manual

[@HunterTinsley]

Good vid. Thanks for sharing the tips. Is it even possible to beat the 15 state without doing gear drifts?

[@MrThunderwing]

Hrrrm, good question. I'm pretty sure I've done it just using automatic transmission in OutRun Online Arcade, but you can (IIRC) change the difficulty in that. I _thiiiiink_ I've done it before in automatic in some 2 player link-up games on either the PC port or some system linked Xbox games. I've only ever attempted the 15 Stage Marathon using MT in OutRun 2 SPDX in Teknoparrot though.

[@HunterTinsley]

@@MrThunderwing I've started only playing MT and gear drifting, and now the 15 stage is a piece of cake. Thanks for the guide! Have you played the PC version of C2C with that new tweaks mod that was released? It's fantastic. My only issue is that I can't figure out how to map the right analog stick to the gear shift like I do in TeknoParrot...

[@MrThunderwing]

@@HunterTinsley Excellent, glad it helped. I've heard (and seen a video on) the new Outrun C2C mods, but I've not tried them out myself yet. I'll get around to it at some point, but I can't quite summon up the motivation or the necessary brain power needed to try and figure out how you apply it at the moment.

[@HunterTinsley]

@@MrThunderwing Whenever you feel the need for speed, it's super simple. Just extract the zip into the C2C install directory and run the game. It's actually _way_ easier to install than FXT.

[@MrThunderwing]

@@HunterTinsley Good to know mate, nice one!

[@LJ7000]

I'm trying to figure something out about the "widescreen" option in OR2 and OR2 SP (and C2C). When you select Widescreen from the options, it just seems to squish the car narrower, but if you leave it to normal 4:3 format, the car seems wider, maybe like it should be? I'm playing on a widescreen tv. What is widescreen option actually doing, and should we be using it?

[@MrThunderwing]

@@LJ7000 I don't really get this question. The widescreen mode in both OR2 and C2C works exactly the same as it does in any other game. If you've got a widescreen TV, you should have it turned on.

[@LJ7000]

@@MrThunderwing sorry ignore my last reply to you! I made a mistake. My TV was stretching the image 😅

[@UwUnossa-vini]

Seria muito legal se você fizesse um tutorial de como fazer drift no initial D, mas provavelmente você não joga. Mas seria muito interessante se fizesse

[@MrThunderwing]

I don't really play Initial D - you could probably do a better job telling me how to play it than the other way around.

[@MrThunderwing]

Although, I have got a tiny bit of arcade footage of me on one of the Initial D games I need to edit and upload at some point.

[@UwUnossa-vini]

@@MrThunderwing eu poderia mas é um pouco complicado que a versão que eu jogo é a de psp e ela só foi lançado no Japão eu poderia abaixar o um patch mas ele bão fuciona e complicado, mas eu poderia fazer um tutorial que como fazer drift no daytona usa 2001

[@UwUnossa-vini]

@@MrThunderwing pode ter gente querendo aprender drift no daytona e na tela do celular, obrigado pela dica 😅😅

[@G_Travel99]

Dude, i JUST installed OutRun2006 on my pc, like yesterday. You couldt have a better timing

[@malant2719]

Got this from abandomware to play on steamdeck and it appeared to run....not that fast Put the same game on legion go and it appeared to run extremely fast. Your video is going at a similar speed as the legion go so I'll take it as this is the intended speed so thanks in advance
