Any advice on how to win the swoop races? I barely won the Taris track. Can't seem to win tatooine or manaan.

I don't understand when I'm supposed to shift.

I have the Prima official stately guide which has maps of the tracks but it doesn't offer much else in the way of help.

I'm playing the Mac version if that means anything.

You can't pause the game during a race. Also, I tried changing the screen resolutions but that didn't change anything.

Shift whenever possible, hit enough speed boosts, avoid the slowdowns and hope you have better fine motor skills than me. There really isn't much else you can do, and yes the Manaan one is a pain (especially if you helped that poor racer).

I did a search for "swoop" and I found an old thread with an interesting glitch. The poster mentioned that if you wait 48 minutes, the clock resets. I tried it and sure enough, it resets. So, if you wait till 47:50:00 and then go for it, you get a ridiculously fast time, lol. It requires patients though. I followed the poster's advice by fixing myself dinner while waiting for the clock to run out.

Not a fan of glitches, and I actually liked that the Manaan one was so hard if you helped the kid. Made the LS choice really be a sacrifice for once.
