    Power Bike issue.

    Not sure if it's been addressed before but I just noticed a problem with the leaderboard and scoring system on the skill game Power Bike. Basically if you finish the track and reach the maximum distance then you get the maximum points, but hundreds of players have reached this point and so all have exactly the same points towards their overall leaderboard meaning your rank in this skill game means nothing once you reach maximum distance. Nova is in 1st place but has achieved nothing from it that a guy in say 500th place didn't achieve, they have the same points and so if you manage to finish with maximum distance you become joint 1st in regards to the points you receive regardless of how slow you do it in.

    Can this be addressed to make the players higher up the rank recieve more points for their faster time? Would have been better to have just hade an endless hill at the end for players burn out their remaining fuel and reach the furthest distance that way but probably too late for that now.

    Not sure if I've worded this properly but basically you only have to reach about 1000th rank on this skill game to recieve the same points towards your overall leaderboard as the guy in 1st place.
    Are redlynx working on this or has it even been noticed? I can't find any threads about it.

    So it's set like this on purpose? Going for a high rank is just for fun or bragging purpose? Wow, I want to put time into this track to get a high rank but I don't think I can commit to all that work for no reward towards your overall rank, they may as well take scoring off it all together and put the track in a "just for fun" section. I really don't understand this, what a waste of a great skillgame, I still think it would have been better to have a hill at the end for players to burn out how much fuel they have left and reach furthest distance for higher rank.

    Ah well I guess I'll just have to accept it and put this skill game aside as nothing can be gained from playing it any further.

    Could a dev respond please if this is likely permanent or if you plan to somehow make these distance related games relevant to your rank in the future? I don't really see it as a huge problem for Hill climb and touchdown as the finish line is a lot harder to reach but with power bike it's very easy to reach the end and so over a thousand people have finished all with exactly the same score as the person in 1st place which imo defeats the whole purpose of trials.

    I've also noticed that the skill game Out of control has hundreds of people at the top of the leaderboard who have all finished the track in 10 seconds showing they have completed over 1000 metres when really it's only about 20. They all crash or eject themselves at exactly the same point near the start and go to the top of the leaderboard with an incorrect distance. Any ideas what's going on here?

    I'll make sure to forward your feedback along to the team, but currently, there are no plans to update this skill game.
