Hi,

I would like to know if there is any cheats (hidden cars or tracks) in
Spirit of Speed 1937.

Also, is there a way of changing the screen res by editing a file? The
only choice in the game menu are 512x384 (ugly) and 800x600. I would
like to try 640x480.

thanks

Dave Henri

  Sorry the Geneva Convention prohibts us from 'cruel and unusual'
torture.  Therefore, we cannot in good conscience, give you ANY
advice that might encourage you to boot that program.

This won't be of any help to you, but with 4x4 antialiasing turned on
with my GeForce256 card, SoS looks pretty good at 800 x 600 resolution
on my system.  

FWIW, there's a VERY good thread about SoS on the High Gear forums:

http://forums.simracingnews.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&...

This thread talks about a small utility called "CTFJ!" that allows you
to adjust your joystick or wheel dead zone, and it REALLY makes a
difference with SoS.  I've been playing with the demo a LOT this
weekend, and I ordered the full version on Friday.  This game may not
be the tops when it comes to vehicle simulation, but as a nice little
historic racin simulation, it does seem like it can be a lot of fun.  

I'll report back when I have the full version, but I think I'm going
to be spending a bit of time with this.  It won't improve my GPLRank
or my F1CS2K Rank any, but it seems like it may offer the same kind of
fun that I found in NFSPU, which sounds like a good thing to me.

Not exactly what I had in mind when I asked the question but surely
worth a big LOL :-)

Now, if someone could come up with a way of importing the tracks from
SOS1937 into SCGT. With the new 1930 era cars it would be a blast.
