Tune cars drag racing game android: tips and tricks

I have already posted on how tuning works on the drag racing game for android. But i have learned some new tips that you might want to know.

1. for Rear wheel drive cars with lost of horsepower, you might need to lower down the final drive to reduce the burnout. but for 4 wheel drive cars you should increase the final drive to get a bit of a slip on the wheels so that you could get max grip with max power. that is key, gear ratios are really good the way they are until you are like trying to get an extra .0001 seconds faster.

2. IF you adjust your gear ratios, make sure your car accelerates smoothly and constantly  not just at high rpm's. this means that  your car will keeps its speed until hitting 7k rpm and then accelerate, and then you shift and it sits again. If you have this problem increase the gap between the gear rations that you are having this problem with.

How to tune cars in Drag Racing Game-Android

Ok, so how do you tune your car in the drag racing game on and android. well here are the steps.

1. DO NOT TOUCH THE NOS, you do not need to modify it at all, most people do so thinking it helps but really it doesn't.

2. Final drive. The final drive determinse how much power goes to the wheels. The lower the number the less power, the higher the number, the more power, if you have a RWD car like a ferrari novitec rosso, then you want the number to be lower and then you will not burn out, but if  you have a 4WD car that does not burn out, add a bit more power and when you see a little bit of tire smoke, you are good to go. The thing is tire smoke is an indicator here, if you have lots of tire smoke, you are adding to much power, if you dont have tire smoke, that might mean you dont have enough power, so you want a small quick burn out and then none at all during first gear.

3. Gears. The number on the gears indicates how much power is used in each gear. So if your first gear is 4.375, that means it is going to use 4.375 out of 4.375 power on that gear, and the second gear would be for example 3.5, that means it will use 3.5 out of 4.375. You might ask why on earth then does the game not let second gear be more power than first. Well if you know how transmission works and its purpose you would understand. The point of gears is to use less power to accelerate with each gear. so that is why there is less power each gear. Now you might have noticed the stock tune grows exponentially from bottom to top, that is how it should be, it should be a very big arc to the right or it should be more of a straight line. you don't want any jagged parts.

That is all there is too it, there is no perfect tune because each car is different, even if they have the same upgrades, because each person drives differently and you cant use the same tune for 1/4 and 1/2 mile races.

Tips:
 If you are tuning for quarter mile and you don't pass second or third gear, that is not good, for quarter mile tuning you want to get through as many gears as possible.

How to play tiny tower OFF LINE, no hacks or cheats.

Ok, a while ago, I posted a post about Mobage spying on android users through the internet only game Tiny Tower. Well now i figured out how to play this awsome game offline.

Don't worry, this is not illegal, and their are no hacks, or cheats or download necessary.

First, make sure you have the latest version of tiny tower.
You will have to do this process after each update.
Two: let the game load with internet connection. play the game, and go to menu>settings> make sure everything is checked off.
Three: press the home button (do this step really quickly), turn off your WiFi using the power widget, that is the fastest way to do so, and then turn the game back on.

**Make sure you don't exit the game, only press home to exit.

you are done!

Is Mobage Spying on Android users? Tiny Tower

I saw the game called tiny tower on my friends ipod and he sayed it did not need internet at all (Duh). So i went on the android market, and downloaded, it.

I started up the app, and it sayed it needed aditional data from online. Well that was typical on a game. So i turned on my only source of internet (wifi, i dont have data untill i get a job) and downloaded it. Later on that day, my wifi was off to not drain batter life on my LG Thrive, and the game would not start, i was confused? I turned on my wifi and it worked, wow.

Ok, i played the game for like 2 months and then i strated thinking (lol, first think then do right), why the game needed internet. I read the permissions and here is what it sayed:

  Here is what i think needs to go:
  1. Location! it is always their on most apps, but mobage does not need to know where the fuck im at. (sorry for the language again and again).
  2. Personal info/ contacts, why does mobage want to know who i keep in touch with?
  3.Phone calls, why do they need to know who im calling.
  4.Storage, why does it need to know what music i have on my sd card omfg.
  5.System tools, well some things here can stay but things like : Allows the app to retrieve information about currently and recently running tasks. Malicious apps may discover private information about other apps. I think here mobage is talkin about itself, it is malicous undercover.
  
  
  All i have to say to this is : WHAT...THE...FUCK!
  They dont need to know where im at.
  This is just a warning, apps can do ANYTHING, (not too long ago, mobage got rid of the permission to read text messages).
