@Wirtual
can you pls stop saying analog keyboard? it never was about that. it's always been about the custom ak that is part of a driver function specific to analog keyboards. it's not the analog aspect of the kb at all.
you make it worse by confusing people with this.
@Wirtual
very cool of you to do this. I didn't like the way you joked about this bcs for me it's 100% cheating and should get banned. However imo you didn't do anything wrong. But now that we're aware of it I am happy to see you stopped using it already.
next week may be the most important week in my life so far. my health issues sadly did not resolve themselves yet and I am going to see a doc about them. I seriously don't know what to do if I can't get this unser control...
@Wirtual
100% cheating imo. even dxtweak is not able to achieve this. you just create your own custom ak while nadeo themselves removed half of them. I think nadeo's stance on this should be clear based on that already.
I know you probably get that a lot. But I still feel like I can't leave it uncommented. Thx a lot for the huge raid
@WirtualTM
and your continuous support of the Trackmania Community as a whole . Just wait for my masterpiece of a map to get TOTD so you can win it once again💪
I have a potential solution to this. One single AK that automatically holds the correct angle. It has downsides and I don't know how it would work if nadeo brings back envi's like Rally. Either way. I cooked an op Plugin to test it out. And unlike wirtual I tested offline only

@Trackmania
Snow car is super fun, but competitively it introduces some big issues. And I think it should be talked about sooner rather than later..🧵
⏱WR on Slippysnow 29.187
I drove this run on my analog keyboard using a custom steering profile from 0-60% 🫡
Teaser 1! (I wanna do a full comparision between all possible 128 routes eventually) But today we start with 100% Stadium vs. 100% Snow. (Both runs aren't maxed btw) Might have to do more balancing but there are surprisingly many ways to adjust this.
@Wirtual
yeah. that's a sensetivity curve. something that is allowed since forever and idd works with pads aswell. but you can't abuse this the way you did your custom ak. hence the difference. it's not the analog kb but the custom ak. since like you said the rest is the same as every pad
Went to the doc and my 24h blood pressure data was worrying enough to sent me straight to the hospital. So far blood, ecg and heart is good. Which in itself is neither good nor bad. They will do all the remaining tests of the potential causes on thursday. Atleast I could go home.
@Trackmania
Only thing that issn't 100% clear imo. Does this mean ANY type of change to my stick sensitivity will be not allowed? So everyone is forced to play with a 100% linear sensetivity curve? (and use ingame sens)
The default sensetivity of my thrustmaster pad issn't even linear
Today I wanna share something positive! (health update soon but spoiler: very positive development)
After learning Skat(german card game) today has been the first time I finally won an evening against my parents!!! Took me roughly a month of playing almost every evening though😂
short(y) health update. Found out my blood pressure is 180/130. Doc gave me some meds to lower it and did a full on check of my heart etc. Blood tests are being done until monday. And the rest I guess we see from there.
All in all.. I suppose this can be called a "good" thing.
Spent a night in the hospital. 24h ecg and blood pressure. Both looking good. Got an MRI but no results yet. After I did a stress ecg I can go home again and I'll get notified about the resuls.
Definitely feeling like the lowered blood pressure helpes. But not fully there yet.
Evo is happy to announce that

I can finally announce my SDHelper(colorchanging skids) Plugin will be public! I uploaded it and it should be available with the Pluginmanager as soon as it get's reviewed by op staff.
Starting later this week, we are reversing our current policy stance on visual speed-drift and ice-slide indicator plugins. These plugins will be allowed on the plugin manager for any game edition. In this thread, we'll explain why. 🧵
@Wirtual
I agree this is not an easy topic. but like we already said you can do similar things just with custom sensitivity curve. so it's not an analog keyboard only thing. hence I get annoyed when you make it seem like that's the issue.
They actually did it! Took me 80h and over 30 custom items to make.
I know it's not perfect. But I think it's as perfect as it can be while still "suitable" for TOTD
and I am proud of it!
It's 100% the first and also last Turtle TOTD^^
(GER) Ich bin jetzt seit über 10 Jahren "fan" von PietSmiet. Ich habe in den letzten Wochen eine einfache RPG Map im stil von "Deep Dip" gebaut die ich auf der webseite vorgeschlagen habe. Eure Hilfe würde mir viel bedeuten 🙏
@Wirtual
sure policing it the way "just don't do this specific thing, without naeo being able to monitor it is not ideal. but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be specific about what exactly is the problem
Now that granady did his announcement, I think it's time for me to also announce something.
Not quite as big as a cup. but similar. so stay tuned for tomorrow =)
Teaser2: A lot of adjustemnts were made. End looks a bit different. Instead of comparing 2 runs we compare 4 today! Still a long way to go but the base is slowly getting solid.
Another Backwards man ft. proof_ (AT is .734) My pb and the run in the Video however is a 42.272!
Will you be able to beat it?
Be the first to beat my time and get a small prize of 22€!
Maprelease soon!
who would've guessed. the one that "stole" my normal ubisoft connect name accepted my friend request and agreed to change to so I can retake my normal name again 😃🧡. The only negative part is that I will loose draws again🙃
@Wirtual
it's up to nadeo to regulate this and find something they can also inforce and check. but that's a bit of a different thing to what you did and what people are mad at. it's the custom ak. not the analog kb. everything you can do with analog kb we could do with pad aswell.
Since AK's are such a big topic again. I once had an idea for a different ak system. It's basically a sort of "delay/decay" that enables kb to hessentially hold angles.

@rutenl
for the technical implementation for me to test it.
Huge thanks to everybody's support. With the combined power of you guys, twitch money (and parents ofc.) I now finally got the new PC standing under my desk.
But pls. let's not talk about the Display port not working... (I realy hope it's just the cable😅
Update for the non turtle TOTD I bragged about. After 1 month of review this is what happened. I made the AT easier now and back we go into having "fun" on mapreview🙃. This time it's beginner friendly map
Maybe it's the winter months. But damn do I feel like nothing I do is working out lately. TMFL, the TOTD's I built, tabletennis, health. At this point I don't care if 2024 is the year for tm. I hope it's a better year for me xd
Watching
@TMesports
with the new format is incredible. But the fact we finally have a "fair" and competetive symstem also makes me feel even stronger on both ends.
all those players are legends. and it's not easy to watch players I "grew up with" loose..
Doesn't hospital food look this extra kind of "delicious"?
Man I was ment to only do a single test and now they already did like 6. I have no clue what is going on and when I can go into freedom again 😅
I can't believe how stupid this is. People have found a cut on the turtle map that took me 80h. Only because a cut PREVENTION from me (invisible antiboosters) are rotated the wrong way after I made the start easier for beginners. This is so fucking stupid xd
I hope you're just as hyped as I am! I planned and organized this for quite some time. I won't be participating myself since that would be unfair. But I will be part of the livestreams with explaining the game and giving tipps before everything starts!
Alright guys. new years resolution. Trackmaster in Tm ranked. It's a group bet with rl friends. All of us have a certsin goal in a certain game. Whoever doesn't make it within the year is in for a scuville challenge. wish me luck😅
I present: The Cube (I know my naming sense is awfull)
Some already downloaded the private german version.
I now fixed all final things and am happy to release the public english one!
Look what I got for organizing the

@UltStudio_
is so sweet😍 . Thank you so much for this little gift. I love it!☺️

@Karlukki
leaving the salt behind. I am very happy that the winner looks actually consistent and not over the top difficult. Looks like a good fit for an actual TMWT map!
over 65 hours(old route included), 20+ custom Items. Route for the Turtle "totd"(hopefully) finally finished.
Still a lot of work to do but I think I finally got something both easy enough and fun to hunt!
Trying to build a Snow/Stadium car mixed map where you can switch car multiple times throughout the map. If I can pull this off you technically have 128 different possible ways to play the map. ofc not all of them will be equally viable, but I will try my best as always
Lesson of the year. If you get dizzy while watching a 3d movie and it's more thsn "just a bit". leave immidiatly. Don't try to force your way through. Trust me. veeery bad decision. I am stilly dizzy and can't watch tv 2 days after.
Arrived back home safely and the drive was actually not a big problem this time.
#XPEvo
was a surreal experience. Thank you everyone for the chats and compliments! Also big thank you to
@ImportCasts
for giving me and
@iLimerencia
the opportunity to have a lot of fun by his side.
Sometimes I am torn between 2 personalities. One of them wants to stay away from trouble and not say something to regret. And the other one just wants to dive head first into the ongiong discussion and say whatever the fuck he thinks is right.
So far the calm one is winning today
In todays COTD I got KO'd even though I finished on yellow on my screen. There was a huge bug with Hyll + an extra DNF bug in the finish. Then after Hyll went out the game started trolling even more. WTF?! (Epilepsy Warning)
It's so funny. I am at a doctor rn and the waiting room has a tv playing netflix. This would be amazing if watching tv wouldn't be the exact issue I have 😅
After injuring my wrist and therefore changing my tabletennis style completely 3 years ago. Today I played an insane match! Still having health issues here and there. But damn does it feel amazing winning a match 2 leagues above what I usually am! I wish I had a recording of it^^
Not so Wild take. This whole drama sittuation could have been avoided if nadeo would've added Canyon/Vally car instead of Snow.
Image Canyon/Stadium Tech or Vally/Stadium Nascar.
I decided to rebuild the full turtle Map. The route simply wasn't fun to hunt. 50h+ down the drain😭.
Working on a route now that will be more fun to play for both easy and hard route. (promising so far 😃)
Should have made this decision a looong time ago already..
Since I have no PC I picked up "Hot Lap League" aka. Trackmania on android. Alrealy blasting my first wr after a few hours! Maybe I'll just play this instead of tm? 🙃😂
I know I've been rather inactive again recently. There are several reasons for that. One very positive reason is something I will be very glad to announce soon =)
Big W. I hope the random ideas I threw around will be helpful. I know it'll be a big challenge to improve ak's. Very interested with what nadeo can come up with!
Dear Trackmania community,
Late November, Wirtual highlighted a grey area regarding the use of external tools to set a custom analog profile to have better controls of the SnowCar with his analog keyboard. This is a complex situation, and we would like to clarify what’s allowed
So many great maps with mediocre scenery, BUT so many "bad" maps with awesome scenery. We need more creators like
@1htimh
that focus only on the scenery part and collaborate with others for the route.
