Need for Speed Special Edition: Time of day setting

Greetings,

I hope i am not going not pose a dumb question. The NFS-SE press release
claims that there is going to be a time of day setting - morning, noon,
nite, the back of the box art says so BUT i could not find this in the
game at all nor is it written anywhere in the documentation or readme.

Can anyone out there tell me whether this feature actually exists, and
how can i enable it? Or have i been conned.

Having recently played the Playstation version, I can say that it does
indeed have these features.

Yup! i just found it. Well hidden within the tracks description option.
They should have documented it though. Found it accidentally when i was
going thru the voice-over for the new tracks.

Thanks.

Um, mind I ask, NFS didnt start shipping until June 28th, how
did you get it so soon? It had to be overnight express or something.

I'm trying to get hold of a copy. Any one know where I can get it in the UK all
the game shops say it's been put back. I've been going mad trying to get hold
of a new NFS cd since I lost mine. I guess an upgrade would be even better.

Any mail order places got it yet?

Thanks
Jeff

Don't know conversion factor but if it's a good deal maybe you could
mail a few purchased sets this way :)

I can't say, I can't get it working, The DOS version does not work (it
is unable to accept joystick input from my soundcard). And the Win95
version does not work because Win95 cannot/will not recognize any
joystick on my system.

After playing around for some time today.
I get my T2 works in both Win95 and Dos mode.

First for Win95 is easy, you just go to control
panel/joystick to config. your T2 (just pick a 2-button
joystick will be fine).  Then start the game in Win95,
and calibrate the T2, then go nuts.

For Dos, I have to use the JCU joystick utility which
comes with the game.  Run JCU and pick T1/T2
setting and just use that default (don't try to enable
Z-axis ans R-axis) setting, and run the game, calibrate, go nuts.

And the DOS/WIn95 version can be in the same directory,
the way I did it is first install the Win95 in \NFSSE , then
install the dos version in \NFSSED, and then just copy
the dos NFS.EXE file into \NFSSE and rename it to say
NFSD.EXE, finally deltree \NFSSED.  Now,
in Win95, use NFS.EXE, in Dos, use NFSD.EXE, can
even write a little batch file to have a different nfs.cfg file
for dos and Win95.

Got to play more using my T2 now :)

Have you tried the joystick program that was included on the NFSSE CD??? It is
supposed to work for both DOS and 95 for calibration.

NFS (original and SE) never centered correctly on its own - If you have the ACM
card from thrustmaster you can fine tune the center using the external pot.
Works like a charm.
