hawk Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 At first I didn't quiet believe it (w00t) but I could. I won the Telos swoop race with 41:02! How I did it? Well, normally your bike is going into the air at the start and you will not be able to get it level again. To prevent this, hit the space bar when the red light is flashing. Now, you are on good level. Then I hit a lot of accelerators till I was in the highest gear then only evaded some mines and jumped one or two times and my time. Yes, it can be done! 41:02! No big money, only 500 credits. But hey, it's good that you actually can win it. Anybody else lucky enough to win this race yet? Master Vandar lives!

txpoodoo Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I didnt' realize there was any trouble winning any of the races....Telos imo was the hardest...but beatable for sure. Don't get me wrong though....well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Uh, I didn't find it that difficult... Just hit as many accelerator pads as possible early, change gears whenever you need, then keep jumping over stuff in your way when you've reached the max speed.

Omedarcus Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I never bother with Telos because swoop racing is hard in this game. My question is how is it that I win Nar Shaddaa in one shot? I did one race and it took me over a minute and the guy was like "Congratulations youre the champ and cant race anymore" basically. I was like "ookk " Onderon seems to be the "easier" track of the 2nd game. I liked the swoop racing in the first one better, but at least it's not part of the story like on Taris in KotOR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 500 creds wasnt worth it. Finishing Nar Shada without looking at the screen was my favourite. My wife walked in and I was talking to her, thinking oh well no big deal and when I looked up the swoop was over the finish line. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Jedi Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 The swoop racing wasn't that hard, the only problems I encountered was a bug. Whenever I fininshed a race, it would come up with something like: "nasty spill you had out there" or something. Finally on one of my replays I manged to finish all of them. Each one only gives you 500 credits for winning though, after that i only played them for something to do. BTW, my time was 39:19 for Telos!

DarkLordRulius Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Hmm, only tried Telos swoop racing once. Since then I have not even bothered with it...(Damn that *** was hard!) And no, 500 creds wouldn't be worth it anyway. On my latest game I managed to gather up 116,000 credits... somehow... :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, my time was 39:19 for Telos! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> same thing happened to me on my second time thru, first time I beat all of them fine. My times were insanely low the second time thru, but they would never give me the credit....I even did nar shadaar without hitting one wall/car/block and hti almost all the pads possible, finally i just gave up, the moneys not worth that much frustration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufflover Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 My swoop racing was bugged because of the forfeit bug; after you forfeit a race, all subsequent races everywhere for me were ALWAYS DNF , so I could never really check this. Can you win the Nar Shaddaa races without sabotaging the droid, or will it always beat your time?

The Lost Jedi Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Actually, the best way to win the race on Nar Shadaa is to race BEFORE you destroy that stupid droid! Make sure you don't do TOO well because he keeps beating you by about one second (stupid thing). Any way after you have a reasonably easy time to beat - scrap him, then race again and do your best this time. Bingo! 500 in the bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Jedi Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yes, but you can't complete the race if you don't let him beat you at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hold down the right mouse button before the race starts to get rid of the bug that puts you in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattleCookiee Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yes, but you can't complete the race if you don't let him beat you at least once. Yes, you can Did it 3 times now (droid down, then race, always win in 1 race...) Never won Telos: That was 9/10 Fly high (unlike Onderon/Nar Shaddaa) and nothing would fix it...
