Hi,
Just bought the game today.
Coming from MXGP19, the physics felt a bit odd at first, kinda arcadish and stiff, but I’m getting my hand on it.

BUT, I’m still struggling with body weight.
How do I use it.

Contrary to the 19, I don’t feel any change on handling, except to make me fall, especially with ruts.
If I don’t use it, I jump out of the rut, if I use it, I just fall inside, so how to take them and use weight.
I’m playing on hardest difficulty just like 19, but struggling way more.
Also, I’ll randomly fall inside some corner if I use rider weights, without any rut or bump…?

Also, what’s up with the whip/scrub?

I could easily do it in the 19 and land perfectly, but here it feels so weird.
Am I doing something wrong, or that’s just how the game is?

I started using chains clipped on the foot-pegs instead of a chock and straps because it’s easier to load by myself and I thought it was more efficient. Well, this happened yesterday to my pit bike (YCF150 Pilot). I’m sure the pegs are cheap alloy with questionable welds, and this likely won’t happen with my Honda 250r or kawi 250, but I found interesting.

I grew up around dirt bikes and on the old late-90s/early-2000s motocross games, and I always felt modern racing games lost the feel. So I've been building my own, solo, in my spare time.

The whole thing is built around riding feel instead of graphics: you steer with the throttle, the rear steps out when you gas it into a corner, you can back it in on the brakes, and you set up whips/scrubs off the jumps with mid-air control. Bad landing and you're picking yourself up out of the dirt. It's got an intentionally retro PS1 look because that's the era that got me into it.

Trailer's attached. I'm posting here specifically because you all actually ride — I'd rather hear "the body position is wrong" or "nobody backs it in like that" from real riders than polite feedback from gamers. Be brutal, it helps.

No studio, no budget, just me. If it looks like your kind of thing there's a free demo and a Steam page below, but mostly I just want to know if the feel reads right to people who do this for real.

Cheers, and thanks for any feedback.

what a venue, gorgeous day!

So previously I asked for motivation and encouragement. I heard everyone out, sure some of you said go small, some of you said you may die, some of you said genuinely kind things. Thank you all and I got back onto a 450 Kawasaki (photo is old and is a 450 Honda the one I crashed on) I went for a 6 hour ride and it felt amazing, sure I was sore after the ride but it felt great. Thank you everyone. All my gear was still good and the helmet barely had a scratch from my surprise. I really need to buy a bike and I think I want to go for the 2023 Kawasaki 250KX or the 450KX. PS the Kawasaki is my father’s bike and is a 2024 450. My Honda was a 2012 450 so little more power.

Después de 300 horas con un pistón, le toca cambio, y al desmontar la power valve encontré esta pieza marcada con un poco de viruta.
No se la posible causa porque es una cosa muy extraña

Hi,
Which Monter Energy Supercorss has the best physics (and graphics/content too)

Coming from MXGP19, but I love SX (played MXvsATV Reflex back in the days) though about buying MESX.
I bought MESX4 but was kinda disappointed with the physics. It felt too arcadish, and tho I played MXGP on hard mode, I couldn’t properly ride on MESX.
Rider-bike felt so rigid.

So, what is the best MESX the game, and maybe the closest to MXGP19?

Went along to a local Motocross meetup to take some pics
