Another time as I jumped off a ramp I gunned the engine. The torque of the
rear wheels caused the car to somersault backwards in the air, and it hit
the ground just as it completed a full revolution. Never could duplicate
that trick again!
It's got a great track editor also. Used to be several sites with fan
tracks. One I created was over 2.5 miles, not bad when the work area is only
a quarter mile square. It was great fun. It was really a shame it sold so
poorly that Papy decided against spending time upgrading it for 3DFX or D3D.

It's an awesome, awesome game. On par with GPL in the "challenge to
learn" department. Like GPL, I think that hurt it a little bit.
I remember a lot of people saying it sucked because they couldn't
master it right away. It required finesse and patience to turn
consistent laps.
It's too bad it didn't get the 3dfx patch it deserved. It came right
at the dawn of 3D acceleration, and as you discovered -force feedback.
My buddy and I still play 2 player network games from time to time.
I have a Screamin' 3D in my old K6/2-300, and SODA screams on that
machine. I have to run it in software on my P2-400. It still runs
great, just doesn't look so great.

Can anyone suggest how I can get FF to work? Also are there any updates I
should know about?
Anyway, I'm back to my new GPL tracks (got the converter today) and SBK 2000
and my newly patched RC 2000. How am I going to find time to fit all of
these in?
Cheers

I bought this game about 2 or so years ago, when I still had my old Pentium 75
computer with 24 megs of RAM and a 800 meg hard drive.... LOL It was my first
true 3d physics racing sim that I could actually run on my puter! I still
remember when I tried to get the GPL demo. Spent forever downloading it on my
14.4 modem, only to find my computer sucked too horibbly to play it...
::sigh:: Anyways, SODA is a great game still. I just played it the other
night. Track editing is a blast with the simple editor. If the game had 3DFX,
I know I'd be playing it a LOT more though! But still, some of the best
physics to date in a racing sim.

Ratbag is currently developing a title very, very similar to SODA : Off-Road
racing which will be called "Leadfoot". From the press release they gave
us, it will have the DTR game engine but will mostly be focused on arcade
racing. You can find information on their site.
