What is the best technique for good starts??
Do you run it like real life, clutch in, pinned, leaning forward, or what? I can't really seem to explode off the line.
Any tips?
First, dont lean forward, your front tire will spin way too much. 2nd, dont lean back, otherwise you wheelie , and then you either crash or slam the front wheel down and lose all your speed.
just keep the clutch in, pin it, stay centered on your bike, and wait for the gate to drop.

The clutch helps, but it's optional.
I've seen guys nail it just with good timing.
Timing is the key.
This is how I do it not sure if you want my advice though hahah, anyway I hold X (PS3) to back up all the way at the gate as soon as it lets me move backwards once I stop I immediately pop the clutch and then hold the gas and i count to 7 seconds and on that 7th second i release the clutch. I have counted many times and all gates seem to drop right on the 7th second after i backup. (i count seconds like 1onethousand 2onthousand etc etc.)
Not sure if that made any sense... oh well :D
i dunno, its random as far as i can tell, sometimes its quick sometimes its 4 seconds, sometimes 7?
i always wonder how people shoot out the gate so fast, i put it down to the fact that the person closest to the server sees the gate drop first.. the person farthest away sees the gate drop last, since im in UK i see the gate drop last and am always last out the gate..
but its ok, just means you avoid the mass pile up caused by people who dont know how to take a fookin corner properly
Ya, I didn't think about the sever being a factor, good call. Thanks for the other tips guys. Anyone ever get stuck in the gate?? That would be a cool feature, make it a little more realistic.
The gate drop is random, but when your playing with the AI you it is ALWAYS a few seconds after they start revving, online everyone just revs so you can't tell.
I dunno why the heck rainbow can't make it where you get stuck in the gate, you can actually get decent starts if you just spin against the gate. In mx sim you get stuck in the gate, and even on the previous MVA games you bounced back when you hit it, why can't we have a realistic gate?
With a full gate sometimes I'll just wait a couple seconds after the gate drops to go to avoid getting in the pile up. If you try for the holeshot and fail your probability of crashing is really high and just makes the game more frustrating. You won't come out of the first corner in the lead, but you will usually be at least top 5 in my experience. A conservative approach I know, but when it succeeds I feel 8)
When the gate is about to drop, the sound on my tv cuts out just alittle bit. so its easy to time it out...but if the hole shot doesn't work out then, I just hold back till i see whats going down in the frist berm and make my move.
ya true, I can usually peg holeshots against the AI its online where i'm getting housed. True that on the conservative approach. Imagine going into that first turn and everyone making it out alive!! I would be amazing!! I think one thing that hurts the game is that the starts are too long and the first turn isn't sharp enough. What i'm saying is you don't have to worry about slowing down, you can just blast through it, this all out approach makes everyone pretty reckless.

Last on the brakes, first on the gas.
