- In my Dakar Desert Rally navigation guide, I attempt (and potentially fail) to shed some light on how to not get lost as often. Watch for tips and tricks on cap bearing, pace notes, recoving from being lost and more.

Dakar Desert Rally can be a tough beast in Professional and Simulation. Here are some (hopefully) useful tips and tricks to keep you from getting lost as much. Let me know your tips in the comments!
You can take a look at the complete symbol legend for the roadbook in the pause menu. It helped me understand all the shortcuts. The most important are MOY (Cap is an average given as a tip, not to be followed), Q (leave the current road/track/traces you are following) and DZ (start of a speed limit zone with the speed limit next to it).
If you're lost in the dunes, you can try to go in circles until you find the missing waypoint. This technique was very helpful in Dakar 18 and still is in DDR.
Nice, good tip. I suspect the waypoints are a similar size to the visible ones in Sport mode.
Honestly navigation was the thing that got me to this game - i wanted to take part in couple local motorcycle rallies that uses roadbooks yet i was unable to obtain any to practice so i bougth the game.
as aditional bonus it's worth to memorise some parts of messages on most right part of pictures. They are shortened words for french and if like me you don't know french - this might help.
P and PP means roads. so pp follow traces means you will see quite good gravel road to follow
A nad G means left and right. way to remember both i sto remember that if you write whole alphabet A is on the most left part (it may not work if you're in right-to-left writing place)
SER means that it will be tight turn. SER G means tight right turn
E3 means narrow. if you see it most probably you will ride into some canyon, brige etc - helpfull t plan route ahead
QT means quit. So if you see it it means that most probably you will start offroad section. simply read distance when to turn and direction (left or right) and try not to miss this place.
Nice information, thanks for commenting. Has it helped with real life rallies?
Very helpful comment, thanks alot mate!
@@ATribeCalledCars I'll tell you in a couple months.Right now it's snowy where i live and i need to wait 3 months for my first rally.
@@misiakwand? how did it go?
@@cheesegamerlol well i did finish, lost myself couple times but managed to finish. I took part in couple more and i’m going to continue this fun
Eh had the itch for Dakar this morning, installed the game....2 hours later full blown rash lol Thanks for the navigation tips
No worries, glad they were useful. Enjoy Dakar fever.
7:27 This is what I do, I run the course multiple times as needed, then I start looking for shortcuts. Plus, you can always go back and do it again if you're not happy with your run.
But I have the unfair advantage of being naturally adept at navigation. I live northern Ontario, and it would be easy to get lost when hunting moose other wise.
Exactly that, practice makes perfect. Some courses are much trickier than others. Although in Simulation the courses are so long it can be too time consuming to do this method!
@@ATribeCalledCars Are the couses different in sim vs pro? I know in pro they are different from sport.
*courses
Great video as always. Exactly the kind og guiding I need for this challenge. I do however have another issue with the steering using the PS5 controller. Is there any forums that can give me some tips that you know of? The turning speed do not adjust and is very slow, so handling is very difficult. There’s always a delay due to the slow turning speed, and that makes me miss the track way too often. No issues on other games, so the controller is fine. I’ve also tried a different controller and the same happens
great video thanks this is sort of helpful. game is amazing real and fun.
You're welcome, it's something best learnt by doing but I thought I'd try to explain.
@@ATribeCalledCars it helps. this game is so amazing real fun.
7:05 I've seen some videos where, at least in simulation mode, the Roadbook doesn't automaticlly adjust on your screen but the co-driver still calls them out anyway until the next waypoint if the distance between 2 waypoints is large enough. Once you hit the next waypoint, it then updates and regular services are resumed.
I don't know if that's a glitch or bug but this could perhaps cause confusion and disorientate you so best learn to manually adjust your roadbook a habbit
It happened to me but I think 1.4 solved it although I've not played as much recently because of WRC Generations. Manual for the win regardless!
I love how the computer can legit totally screw up and make mistakes 😂😂😂😂
And some really amazing screwups too!
thanks
Cheers 🍻
Since the 1.40 patch Dakar is a different game
Really glad to hear it.
Isn't there a "free roam" or "explore" mode?
There is, but it was added after this video was made. It is pretty fun, hidden treasure to be found.
I got reset from 23 to 17. Again. For the 3rd time. Love the game but can’t play anymore until they fix it.
Totally understand, not fun. Has 1.4 arrived on Xbox yet?
I want the game to be as hard as possible. But ya gotta explain something as unique and specific as Dakar waypoints system. Which they for sure do not do.
Yeah this didn’t help at all lol. Still do not get it.
It's quite hard to get your head round it. Practice is key and eventually it makes some sense then it's pretty natural. Took me a fair few attempts! Good luck.
Problem ist km distance.....on test track 1 km .....and the car shows over 5 km .... in the game the same problem hundreds of km ..in few minutes...
There is a scale thing yeah but distances still correlate. You sort of get used to that.
yo does a fanatec dd pro wheel work with this game
It does, and pretty well too.
Dude this game has no fucking right to be as good as it is, its literally amazing, it's the first game I just bought for my ps5 after a few hours I began winning on the easiest mode, I've only adjusted the tirepressure settings which I'm familiar with IRL, the rest I'm clueless what's the fastest or best turning setup?
I think it varies with vehicle but generally the standard setups work well. I think it also depends on the courses so a bit of trial and error. Maybe someone else has made a decent up-to-date guide! I will hopefully revisit the game soon, it is pretty epic.
Sir can you do an in depth showing of the garage and what the numbers behind the cars mean. Thank you for all you do.
That's a good video idea, I'm curious whether it means much!
There is a tutorial?
Not that I remember, but sport mode gives you a rough idea.
I understand nothing. See you in Spain lads
Whoever arrives first can get the beers in.
IM HERE AGAIN
YOU CANT GET RID OF ME
6:10 the game really sucks lmao, it adds up that in French, your copilot for some reasons speak really really fast and makes it even worst to understand where he wants me to go.
