Yo! I tend to drive around a lot, skidding and using the hand break (I think there could be more skidding... it is almost impossible to do a hand-break turn This is all good and fun, but I get stuck almost every time (often after a long skid ending up on the grass) going forward or backwards does nothing... /hObbE |

Hi,
Thanks for the info on the gfx card. Always nice to know what hardware is able to run RC
Hehe, it's always fun to play with the handbrake and we have tried to make it as good as possible. The thing is that in arcade, we increase the grip of the tires to unrealistic proportions and that affect the effect of the handbrake. It should work fine in simulation mode. Perhaps if we alter the physics of the tires when the handbrake is active the effect would be better in arcade mode. We'll try and see
About you getting stuck; again if you play in simulation it can be because the engine stops. In arcade mode it automatically starts again. Another thing that can cause it as we know it is that because of the auto-reverse feature, the gears sometimes got stuck in neutral setting. We though we fixed this so it that is the case please tell us.
Happy playing

I have only played in arcade mode. I'll keep an eye on the gears!
I definitely think you should try to make some tweaks when using the handbreak in arcade mode. I think you should have some easily controled skidding in arcade mode.
I will try the game in simulationmode and test if that is what i'm looking for!

The tweak when using the handbrake in arcade mode is a work in progress now. Hopefully this will make the car more fun to play with
Will keep you posted!
Be sure to tell us what you think about the simulation mode. Keep in mind that simulation mode have more realism so you'll need to upgrade the car abit before it drives well.

I've gotten stuck some times in simulation mode, usually when I skid off the track in high speed and then bump into an obstacle. After I read this post I noticed there was a button to start the car, which solved the problem.

yeah its probably the engine dying. don't know if its a cool feature or not. most players probably think its annoying
it shouldn't happen in arcade though. it starts itself when holding down throttle then.

Yes... I was just thinking about this...
Some designer said that a game is made up of interesting choices the player has to do...
and something becomes interesting when it has a downside... I guess turning on the engine does not have a downside, it is something you always want... ergo it should be automated...
But that's just me

clever words. we should follow that logic
Getting stuck
well
Guess this rule could be ignored if the thing you do is fun enough, like breaking boxes, or shooting (if you have unlimited ammo)

true. never underestimate meaningless.
