Shift 2 features more than 140 licensed vehicles available for racing and tuning, a smaller number compared with racing sims such as Forza Motorsport 4, and the 1200 cars found in Gran Turismo 6. However, executive producer Marcus Nilsson said the studio wanted to concentrate on having only the must-have speedsters.[16][17] There are also 40 real-world locations including Bathurst, Spa and Suzuka as well as fictional circuits like downtown London and Shanghai.[12]
Hey everybody! I recently bought a G25 and bought this game just for it. The problem is i cannot find out how to map the individual gears from the H pattern 6 speed. I can only map a button for upshift and downshift. I have seen a number of youtube vids showing it is possible (i researched games with h pattern support for 6 months before buying this one) what am i missing? And how can i get it going right. Thanks in advance.

"Decisions to retire games are never made easy, but we are now shifting gears to focus on the future of Need for Speed," they said. "The development teams and operational staff have put a lot of time and passion into the development, creation, release and upkeep of the game over the years, and we love to see you play. But the number of players has come to a point where it's no longer feasible to continue the work behind the scenes required to keep Need for Speed Carbon, Need for Speed Undercover, Need for Speed Shift, Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed and Need for Speed The Run up and running."
I have Shimano 105 7000 groupset on my bike. 2x11. For some reason I have 3-rd in-between click on my front derailleur. To get into that 3-rd position I need to shift into large chainring and then apply reduced pressure on FD lever. Amount of force should be just below chainring change threshold. If I do that - I get a smaller click and FD moves ever so slightly towards the smaller cog. If I don't do that - when I'm on bigger sprockets the chain rubs a bit and shifting RD becomes much more stubborn.
The test showed that in with 53-39 chainrings and an 11-28 11s cassette, once you are in the big ring and the third biggest cog, you are actually better off shifting to the small ring and an equivalent cog. The x-axis is the gear ratio (higher = harder gear). The y-axis is drivetrain friction measured on Friction Facts' test rig. It is likely that drivetrain friction is proportional to chain wear. A different test using slightly different gearing published by Velonews backs the trend up (NB: the test was also conducted by Jason Smith, although he was working for Ceramicspeed at the time.)
Benchmarking is very difficult to do meaningfully, but we can look at a few facts. From literakl/intel/s.html#SAL and literakl/intel/i.html#IMUL we get an idea of x86 clock cycles needed for arithmetic shift and multiplication. Say we stick to "486" (the newest one listed), 32 bit registers and immediates, IMUL takes 13-42 cycles and IDIV 44. Each SAL takes 2, and adding 1, so even with a few of those together shifting superficially looks like a winner.
So, your bit shift has an implementation defined result when x is negative: it may not work the same way on different machines. But, / works far more predictably. (It may not be perfectly consistent either, as different machines may have different representations of negative numbers, and hence different ranges even when there are the same number of bits making up the representation.)
Integer division is still relatively slow though, so using a shift instead of division by a power of 2 is still a win, and most compilers will implement this as an optimisation. Note however that for this optimisation to be valid the dividend needs to be either unsigned or must be known to be positive. For a negative dividend the shift and divide are not equivalent!
As far as I know in some machines multiplication can need upto 16 to 32 machine cycle. So Yes, depending on the machine type, bitshift operators are faster than multiplication / division.
In the case of signed integers and right shift vs division, it can make a difference. For negative numbers, the shift rounds rounds towards negative infinity whereas division rounds towards zero. Of course the compiler will change the division to something cheaper, but it will usually change it to something that has the same rounding behavior as division, because it is either unable to prove that the variable won't be negative or it simply doesn't care.So if you can prove that a number won't be negative or if you don't care which way it will round, you can do that optimization in a way that is more likely to make a difference.
I am writing some code right now that requires a lot of doubling/halving operations because it is working on a dense binary tree, and there is one more operation that I suspect might be more optimal than an addition - a left (power of two multiply) shift with an addition. This can be replaced with a left shift and an xor if the shift is wider than the number of bits you want to add, easy example is (i
Electronic Arts is delisting a number of older Need for Speed games, which will also have their in-game stores closed and their online services retired. EA said the decision was made because it is "shifting gears to focus on the future of Need for Speed," and there just aren't enough players to justify supporting them anymore.
When we approached the cockpit cam in Need for Speed: SHIFT we knew it had to be fixed. Here's the most natural view for a racing game and no-one uses it. Why? Well a number of reasons - not all games have it for a start so you get used to going from one game to another using another (the favourite being Chase Cam). Also, it doesn't have a clear advantage like the others; the bumper cam gives you an enhanced sense of speed because you're very low to the ground, the chase cam gives you a greater sense of your surroundings, and the hood cam is a compromise giving you a great sense of speed plus the spatial awareness of how wide your car is. The cockpit cam therefore was kind of relegated to fourth place and it was very restrictive - with the area above the windscreen and the dashboard below it, it felt like driving with immovable widescreen borders and a smaller view of the world outside as if looking through a telescope.
Staying awake at night and trying to sleep during the day is not a physiological condition for diurnal creatures such as humans, who are hence forced to adjust their psycho-physiological state by a phase shift of the daily fluctuation of biological functions, which are normally activated during the day and depressed during the night. This phase shift occurs at a speed of about one hour per day and can widely vary according to the duration and extension of night duties along the shift schedule.
After a night shift, workers usually go to bed as soon as they get home, that is one or two hours after the end of the shift, depending on the commuting time and family commitments (see later for women). This means that they have to sleep during the normal rising phase of biological rhythms, which sustains wakefulness; this makes it difficult to fall asleep and sleep longer. Also, because the environmental conditions are not the most appropriate, such as disturbing noises and lighting, sleep can be further disturbed and wakefulness further extended. Consequently, sleep is reduced by 2-4 h, more frequently or prematurely it is interrupted, and poorer stage 2 and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep is more commonly achieved. The workers perceive this as a less restorative sleep. About one third of shift workers compensate for that by taking a nap in the afternoon, and they also may need to compensate because many workers voluntarily interrupt their sleep around noon to have lunch with other family members. This sleep deficit induces an increased sleepiness during the following night work period, particularly in the second part of it, which is in the early morning, resulting in a higher risk of errors and accidents at work and incidents while traveling home (for example, dozing off at the wheel) [7,8].
However, it is clear that these factors need to be considered in combination with other organizational factors, in particular work load and rest pauses. For example, a 12-h shift, that includes frequent rest pauses and a well balanced work load, can be safer than an 8-hour shift with only one mid-shift break and a high physical and mental load.
It has been seen that, among smokers, the number of cigarettes smoked per day increases more in shift workers than in day workers, or that it is much easier for a shift worker to start smoking. Thus smoking may become a mediating, not only a confounding, factor between shift work and CVD [61].
However, the epidemiological studies published so far, although dealing with large cohorts and controlling for several personal confounders, have a rather rough definition of the exposure to shift/night work, which does not allow to properly assess the risk connected with circadian disruption. The information concerning exposure to shift and night work was mainly based either on sporadic self-reported assessment on working shifts, including night (mainly rotating), or on affiliation to a work sector in which shift work involved a somewhat high percentage of workers, according to nationwide databases and registries. Other quantitative and qualitative information on shift schedules (i.e. no. of night shifts per month or year, no. of consecutive night shifts, direction and speed of rotation, length of duty periods) and on possible confounding or mediating factors (concomitant work and personal risk factors) were lacking or quite dis-homogeneous [70].
In fact, shift workers can face greater difficulties in combining working and social times as most family and social activities are arranged according to the day-oriented rhythms of the general population. Co-ordination with family timetables may become difficult in relation to the complexity of family (i.e. number and age of children, cohabiting persons), personal duties (i.e. school, housework), and availability of community services (i.e. shop hours and transports).
