Hi,
been playing the demo for a few days now and i think i'll get the full game
a few questions though....
Can i set split axis in the full game?
The demo only seems to let you set the throttle, not the brake (releasing
the throttle becomes the brake...)
Does the game have FF, nothing on my LWFF right now...

No. Sucks!

No. Sucks even more.

Dunno, don't haven a FF device.

No, SUCKS! I deleted this game after 5 minutes, total piece of rubbish
imho.

Actually, this game, while being a little capricious to set up (picky on graphic
driver, steering wheel has to be controller one), is the best fun I had since
Screamer 2 and Screamer Rally.

This is a genuine Arcade Game with an outstanding gameplay. Forget all that
rubbish about "realism" which only makes a game ***y boring. This one is fast
and unforgiving.

Opponents cars will give you the ride of your life. They are mean and though and
won't hesitate to throw you in the ditch at the first occasion.

The tracks are fun and diversified, some of them will fast become your favorites
but other will be a total nightmare even after many tries (Yeah!! Grim Up North
is a killer!!)

I tried'em all, from GP3, Grand Prix Legends, Monaco RS, Rally Championship
2000, Colin McRae 2 and undeniably, these are awesome games in their own right.
But for pure instant fun, eracer is right there on top with these titles.

Congrats for a job very well done Rage. We need more game that actually PLAY
LIKE GAMES instead of being soporific 64-zilliabit Z-texel graphic showrooms for
hardware reviewers that don't play games!!! BTW, graphics also also very good on
eracer

Go out, buy it, tweak it, and have an amazing time!!

Hi Guillaume,
could you clarify your comment:
'(picky on graphic driver, steering wheel has to be controller one)'

I've got REAL problems with this game, basically, it locks up after 5-10
seconds game play - EVERY time.
I'm running WinMe, DX8.0a, Athlon 1Ghz, Hercules Geforce II GTS 64MB, MS FF
wheel. I've tried Hercs. 5.xx, 6.xx, & 12.40 drivers and Nvidias 12.41 (plus
a whole heap of other things I won't bore you with!).
I really want to get online with this game, but if I can't get it working,
it will have to go back to the shop this week :-(
I would be really grateful if you can give me any tips on what to try to get
this thing working. Like you I'm a driving nut, and I don't have any
problems running Colin McRae 2, Carmageddon 2000 etc etc on my setup.

Thanks and regards,
Chris.

Really surprises me that you have having any problems, we are almost
identical in setups.

I am running a 1.3ghz Athlon, WinME, Geforce2 Pro 64meg and I am using the
newest Det drivers.

I have not had a problem yet with this game.. have you upgraded to the
newest patch?

Hi Cliff,
thanks for the reply.
Yes, I've tried the patch (1.17 I think?). I've even tried that
*** (?!) 'no-cd' patch.
The only thing I think I'm going to try is to remove my usb adsl
modem, which has in the past knocked out my other usb kit (my MS
steering wheel is usb).
Of course, this totally defeats the object of me buying the game to
play online!
It also doesn't explain why CM2 & Carmageddon 2000 work with the adsl
modem plugged in, or even why eracer should try and connect when I'm
playing in aracde mode (if indeed it is).
Questions, questions, hopefully I'll find some answers when I get home
from work.

Thanks & regards,
Chris.
