    They doing anything new this time?

    All the previous ones were excellent, but theres only so many times you can do the same thing in a different car.

    TMNations was more like the same car in a thousand different tracks :)

    I thought this deserved a bump - TM Nations Forever has been released :)
    If you have Trackmania United you can download a 900MB update that graphically overhauls the trackmania original stuff (desert, snow, etc) as well as bringing compatibility with TM Nations Forever - i.e. you can play on Forever servers with United :)

    http://www.trackmania.com/en/index.php?lang=en&rub=news_info&id=92

    The standalone TM Nations Forever download is available here: http://files.filefront.com/TrackMania+Nations+Forever+Free+Full+Game/;10013754;/fileinfo.html
    There's probably better mirrors around. It weighs in at 504MB.

    Downloaded it today and played it for a bit. Improves on the last version in every area, it's such a good game. My only gripe is with the pointless dirt track sections. Hopefully when the servers start getting populated with custom tracks people will phase the dirt bits out.

    My tag is 'lenigma'

    The menus are designed much better this time around. Finding servers is much smoother and easier too, more information displayed this time round before you click join. The graphics look a lot better than last time. The cars handle pretty much the same, but there's not much room for improvement there tbh. The track editor is now much more comprehensive, and there are new blocks. A few of the custom tracks I've played already were really amazing.

    Then there is the addition of the slidey dirt track, which I initially hated but I'm slowly coming to like. You can't really speed on them but sliding around the corners (when you get it right) is pretty satisfying.

    Also there is a bit of compatability with TMU now in that you can race against those players and import more models and skins.

    [edit]I somehow forgot to mention that it's even faster this time around as well

    Slow in, fast out - often as close to the apex as you can get...

    Watch some other racers or watch for huge gaps in timing - on some tracks there are shortcuts...

    In the air - accelerate will dip the nose of the car while brake will tilt it upwards (and slow you down mid-air).

    Powerslides can be the fastest way around some corners...

    I don't think wallrides are beneficial in any way (could be wrong though)


    These are some of the things from TM: Nations but I'm sure the same rules apply!

    🤪

    Always stay as low as possible on wallrides, lightly tap brake in mid air to straighten out your car, and watch how good drivers race the track.
