rec.autos.simulators

I can run the demo.  I just can't find the keys to control the car.
It appears to run on its own although I can Reset it, check frame
rate, etc.  Long story short:  any english instructions for this demo?

The only car I could "drive" was the McLaren and the Fiat (what a
thrill...not), all others seemed to be computer cars.

I thought Ultimate Race was more fun, and that only lasted about a week on the
ol' hard drive.

Same boat buddy. Like duh? Is it me/us can't figure out how to drive it.
Avault has English instructions but they aren't real helpful. My German is
like non-existant. Have faith in this ng though these folks will take it
apart and figure it out.

Use F5 to switch between keyboard ("tastatur"), steering wheel
("lenkrad"),
joystick or gamepad.

A lot of people seem to have problems playing N.I.C.E. 2  'cause it's in
German. (I don't speak German, but figured it out after a little while +
English instructions from avault helped!). So I put together these
(simplified) instructions on how to go racing:

To play the game, first move the mouse cursor to the right side of the
screen (a window will "slide" out). Click on the first highlighted name
(select cars). Depending on the version of the demo you have, there may be
up to three cars - the McLaren, the Lotus E-type, and the Fiat 500. If the
car is available, it will have a large, rotating "$" near the bottom left of
the screen. Click on it.

To choose the track, move the cursor to the right of the screen, and choose
the second highlighted name. This screen lets you select the track, and cars
that have already been "bought". Just click on the track name that you want
(Arizona, Melbourne, Australia).

Then move the cursor back to the right again, and click on the third
highlighted name("n?chtes rennen"). This will start the race. The fourth
name on the menu is just the "demo" mode, where ALL cars are controlled by
the computer.

N.I.C.E. 2 looks like it will be a fantastic game when it is complete (with
a SIM mode to boot!!).
Get the demo from
http://www.avault.com/pcrl/sims_racing_temp.asp?game=nice2&size=9
This is the BIG demo (20MB), but it is worth it...
Make sure to download the English instructions too!! (the game is in
German).

Enjoy!!
P.S. Can anyone translate the menu on the LEFT side of the screen?
