  • Duplode
    Very nice, @Ryoma! Wonderful range of makes and models for the prototype series Cheesy
  • Spoonboy
    Nice stats! These sub-3s ~240kph are a lot of fun if they handle well. Can't wait to try this @Ryoma, please let us know when it is available.

Jul 9

  • Ryoma
    Thanks @Duplode and @Spoonboy. I had not start the dashboard....so I don't know when I will finish it. After, I want to try some GT1.

    Happy Birthday, @HunterBoy344!!!
  • Erik Barros
    welcome aboard @GordonFreeman

  • Mortimer McMire
    Welcome @GordonFreeman! And hopefully you will have a fun career on here!
  • Mortimer McMire
    As an exception to (my own) rule I tried an automatic gearbox lap and immediately drove my fastest lap to date. Guess there's still a lot of room for improvement ;-)
    Carrera 1:12.32 A
  • Spoonboy
    Welcome @GordanFreeman, in the flesh! Wink
  • Gordon Freeman
    Thanks for the nice welcome! I guess I don´t stand a chance against you skilled racers!
  • Spoonboy
    @GordanFreeman I've only been here one year, but some have raced here for decades! Everyone is welcome, everyone is supported, everyone is pushing to be better. Competition doesn't get much healthier Wink Rules and tips are available in the menus, and the forums are great to finding out more. I've found that the more involved you get, the faster you get!

Jul 12

  • HunterBoy344
    Thank you all who wished me a happy birthday yesterday! Also, welcome @GordonFreeman! I can certainly relate to not doing very well on the scoreboard, but there's so much else to enjoy in the community that it hardly matters at all Smiley
  • Erik Barros
    @HunterBoy344 we will have a live race in traditional terms this weekend, but when you want to organize an online race you can count on my participation
  • Gordon Freeman
    @HunterBoy344 Yes, it seems to be a kind community! @Spoonboy Today I drove a couple of rounds and then I realized that the game offers quite a steering techniqe. As a kid I never noticed that. Then I was able to improve my time, but there is no way to stand a chance against the pro racers ;-)

Jul 13

  • Alan Rotoi
    @GordonFreeman ... for now Wink
  • Erik Barros
    @MortimerMcMire and @GordonFreeman the community has a YouTube channel, @Overdrijf did a great job with Stunts Pro Academy, if you haven't seen it yet I recommend it, it helped me a lot. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqHHHdyouk6NlP5tQJobttWj2ZQkPvM5E&si=xuhMJpLJyreTDGPu
  • Mortimer McMire
    @erikbarros Yes, I know about that YouTube Channel. I think I'm even subscribed to it. It's a great way to get to know the basics of Stunts!
  • Spoonboy
    @GordanFreeman that's what I thought a year ago Wink Overdrijf's videos that Erik linked to are very useful. And of course, loading replays from the current scoreboard. Learn how to do some of the tricks you see, and practice. But I've found the real trick is not so much how to be fast, but how to avoid unnecessary slowdowns.
  • Ryoma
    @Spoonboy how you avoid slowdown? I always have the feeling to brake too much but if not, I am out....
  • Spoonboy
    @Ryoma I find getting a good 'racing line' helps. Wide as possible, hit apexes. This minimises steering inputs. The further your steering goes from central point, the slower you will be...
  • Gordon Freeman
    @Spoonboy Thanks for the tip. I just watched the replay from Erik Barros, it´s just insane :-D

    Happy birthday @afullo! 🎉
  • afullo
    Thanks @dreadnaut! During the latest months I have been mostly inactive here, but sometimes I still lurk... 🫥
  • Alan Rotoi
    I'm in the chat now ^_^
  • Duplode
    Happy birthday, @afullo! 🥳
  • Mortimer McMire
    Don't know what it is, but somehow this track doesn't suit me that well. But with a lot of grinding I'll get there!
    Carrera 1:11.84 A
  • afullo
    Thanks @Duplode! We are the same age, again Wink
  • Shoegazing Leo
    Happy Birthday, his Roman Holyday, @afullo
  • dreadnaut
    ⚠️ @MortimerMcMire, sorry, could you re-send your latest replay? It was lost due to some work in progress behind the scenes, now fixed.
  • Mortimer McMire
    @dreadnaut Just uploaded it again, but thanks for the heads up anyway. I was just about to report it. Weird things happened when uploading it (screen froze and one upload showed up twice).
  • dreadnaut
    Thank you @MortimerMcMire!
  • dreadnaut
    Now instead, let's complete the F40 scoreboard Grin

  • Alan Rotoi
    Happy birthday @Afullo Cheesy
  • Gordon Freeman
    Does anybody else has issues with viewing profiles? Sometimes, even on my own profile, this message appears: Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Apache/2.4.61 (Debian) Server at zak.stunts.hu Port 80
  • Mortimer McMire
    @gordonfreeman You’re not the only one. I tried a couple of profiles (including my own) today and got the same message.
  • Duplode
    @GordonFreeman and @MortimerMcMire, that issue is a side effect of a server upgrade a little while ago: https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?msg=94463 A fix for it is on the radar.

Jul 15

  • Erik Barros
    Happy Birthday @Afullo!!
  • afullo
    Thanks, @Leo, @Alan and @Erik! I am in Budapest for a conference, btw...

Jul 19

  • Ryoma
    The duel has began....
  • Mark Nailwood
    Just for practicing my skills on this track, a non-RH lap.
    Carrera 1:10.31 A
  • Mark Nailwood
    ... and another one.
    Carrera 1:09.53 A
  • Overdrijf
    Looks like this will be the first Zakstunts race in a bit over two years that I miss completely. Didn't find the time. Good luck everyone!

Jul 20

  • dreadnaut
    @Overdrijf Not even a list-filler in the next 7 days? 😱

Jul 23

  • dreadnaut
    Hey @SteinViterbo, could you resend your replay? Seems like I left a bug in the code yesterday evening, and your submission was not recorded correctly. Fixed now 🙏

Jul 24

  • Stein Viterbo
    @dreadnaut Thanks for letting me know. Here it is... :-)
    Carrera 1:16.02 A
  • Alan Rotoi
    Hey @SteinViterbo yesterday I saw Death Race 2000 thanks to you. Fun and weird movie. We should build some of those customized cars for Stunts. Also weird acting from a young Stallone 😀

Jul 25

  • Mortimer McMire
    @AlanRotoi, I watched it yesterday. It was on my watching list for while now after seeing the 2000's reboot movies staring Jason Statham as Frankenstein. Didn't know I would like it so much. It felt a little bit like Wacky Races on steroids! Apparently there's also a sequel called Death Race 2050 made in 2017. If I have to believe the reviews it is as least as good as the original. So I think I know what I'm going to be watching one of the next days!
  • Mortimer McMire
    After trying and trying I think I finally found where I went wrong on manual transmission on this track. Hopefully I can now get a few faster laps on the board in the last fews days left!
    Carrera 1:09.77
  • Gordon Freeman
    Are you guys playing via emulator on a modern computer or on some vintage machine? I´am using a Pentium II for Stunts and many other games from the good ole days 😎
  • Alan Rotoi
    @Mortimer cool! I still have to watch the remake. I saw some scenes and the cars looks awesome too. @Gordon I have a modern PC but I use DosBox emulator to play Stunts. Nice you have a Pentium II, win98 and Dos 6.0?
  • Spoonboy
    @GordanFreeman cool that you use original hardware! I think @Marco does too. Most probably use modern PC + DOSBox. But @Erik Barros is working on an online instance compatible with Android devices, that will be usable for ZakStunts uploads. And I only play on my Android phone, with Magic DOSBox. Quite a variety of methods!
  • Gordon Freeman
    @Alan Yes, I am running Windows 98, but no extra DOS partition. But therefore I have also Win 2000 + XP installed. If I had more room, I would love to get me an 386 oder 486 in a Big Tower... @Spoonboy You are playing Stunts on a phone? I would have said thats unplayable, but your 5th place proofs that its possible ;-)
  • Spoonboy
    @GordanFreeman yes I find Magic DOSBox very usable. It runs smoothly and I can configure the keys to the screen in an ergonomic way, so driving becomes second nature. It can be hard to get PC time at home, so this has been game changing for me!

  • dreadnaut
    Happy Birthday @ErikBarros! 🎉
  • Stein Viterbo
    Didn't improve my position but it's a better time in a different car. Also, glad you guys like DR2K. It's a crazy classic 1970s movie. Next time you see a pedestrian crossing the street in front of you, you know what the score is! haha :-D
