Not if you run it in DOS mode. It is a DOS game and is not meant to be run
through Win95. Although I have been running it through 98 in a DOS window
and I have had no problems at all....

I'll bow to your superior knowledge of 10 dollar ***s.... ;-)

Some tracks measure reaction time from the third amber to when the stage
beam is unbroken. This is the reason for the .400 or .500 added to the time.
Some tracks measure from when the green light goes on to when the stage beam
is unbroken and will show a "zero" based time. In this case, .000 is perfect
no matter what tree type is being used and a negative reaction time would be
a red-light. Either way they are equal measurements.

Thanks for the compliments. I'll pass them on to the team.

Give the rear some more roll bar, it will help counteract the torque
transfer. Also make sure you line up "in the groove". With high torque cars
it can really throw the car on launch. You're doing the right thing by
loosening the rear springs, but too much can be a problem.

We will definately have independant settings on version II. The physics
already uses them and the new interface (Windows!) should give us enough
room to edit them properly.

You can kind of see your reaction time indirectly by watching the "time" in
the upper right corner of the telemetry window. This displays the time from
when the green (or red) light lit so you can see when you reacted to the
green light. Not quite an actual reaction time but it's useful info. The 30,
60, 330, ect times are marked also and are accurate.

Mplayer is working on it as we speak.

In the US, it's called "whatever turns your crank." ;)
