11.649 with 9/9/9/9 Mantis, full time throttle on Android. Tested 3 times.

thats wierd... because it's faster than level 10 mantis...

Unless you are testing full throttle on a completely flat track, the time is going to be affected in some way by the track itself. The full throttle tests have proven that there are differences between platforms, but with so many other factors coming into play any time you introduce any kind of jump or slope, you can't draw any further conclusions. Especially if you are talking about 100ths of a second differences.

Must hit that sweet spot where you have just enough accel/speed to be competitive but slightly less airtime. Like d0pesheet said, the track itself is working against you at this point; you need a flat track.

I made some videos on Android and I'd appreciate it if someone on IOS with maxed bikes could make videos on the same courses hitting only the accelerator so we can compare the physics frame by frame to see how the two versions differ. Here are the Android videos I've made:

Note: IOS is known to complete this course with a maxed Bronco.

Edit: So I just compared these times to the times I had previously posted about and the Android times are now faster than they were on Caves and Mantis no longer finishes. What on earth is going on? We knew the leader board was screwy but even the actual track timer (or speed?) have been changed. How are we supposed to compete in these conditions?

I have always wondered how sometimes some of the top ghosts (Dave, manchester, etc.) starts out JUST a bit faster than mine, specifically on speed bikes. I know that holding lean backwards usually starts you out a bit faster but this might add even more.

Sorry, I cant do recording. But you are going to find this interesting. I see differences on IOS versus Iphone 6 and ipad 3
IOS iPhone 6

Armadillo: 12.032
Tango: 12.062
Bronco: 11.491
Agent: 11.498
Donkey: DNF (Crash at ~4.1 seconds).

IOS Ipad 3 (4 years old)
========
Armadillo: 11.994
Tango: 12.046
Bronco: 11.442
Agent: 11.439
Donkey: DNF (Crash at ~4.1 seconds).

These results look actually really bad!
There is no point of trying for WR if these times differs this much already only by depending by the platform which you are playing.

How much difference is on every other category, bounces, bunnyhops and how about those swings and moving platforms...?

[sanymas]

Have any one checked the timer on both platforms.

If you read carefully above...

Tested android times with my galaxy S4 mini, all matched (except agent, but just because I'm missing upgrades)

[sanymas]

Flooodi I was saying maybe the bikes are same,tracks are same on both the platforms but have any one checked the timer maybe the timer is a fraction faster or slower in both the platforms.

sorry, I misunderstood you.

Good point, but that would not solve the issue between timedifference on Ipad and Iphone. Only android vs Ios.
