I'll pass this on to the dev and see if this is expected behavior or a bug

Hi, I just saw in the server source code that
flyinghead changed the radars in Hollywood just to recharge the nitro it's ~$72,000 not including the damage to the car. The repair costs exceed my earnings! Unfortunately he killed the Hollywood track, the most played track in the game!

"This was before the speed limit, radars were enforced at all
Which meant the radar was zero miles per hour to bust
Which means when you would pass it doing two hundred miles an hour, you got two hundred miles per hour bonus, beating the radar
That amounted to a much larger bonus than when you go two hundred through a radar. That's only one ninety, and you're only getting the ten mile an hour over bonus.

Everyone should buy the armor upgrade first and then the radar doubler. Once they get the money, because you save so much money. Using the armor upgrades.... After you do the first one, your repair bills are cut in half. After you do the second one, your repair bills are eighty percent off

So to go from ten k, a rase 2 k a race in repairs
That's huge
In earning 92000 a race. Unless you are completely wrecking your car, you should be making a decent profit margin
Also, another thing I see people do that is very silly, is use the shockwave nitro
I personally use the level one
Those bursts are long enough
If anything use level two.... But the only difference between level two and the shockwave level three is shockwave, can slightly damage cars of your opponents that are right behind you
But I pay $500 in Nitro. Shot, instead of multiple thousands like you would for that class of nitrous"

Hi, still need to make adjustments to the radars. I used to race on the original server and the gains are nowhere near as good as the old one.

Dizzy? I'm currently in the top 3 in Hollywood Reverse. Try to do at least 1:09:00 with level 1 or level 2 nitro. Try it and let me know if you can do it.

Crashes are the result of taking risks on the track to try to shorten your time. This way, it's not possible to race for time on the track. Just fixing the Alien costs 100k after a few crashes, so there's no way. Thanks Xiden!

If you have Discord you should join the Flycast discord - flyinghead is the main dev for this game, you might be able to negotiate a change with him directly I'm a noob on this game so I unfortunately have zero insights on this
