I wasn't able to get the***pit view in the demo either, fwiw.
The demo looks nice. I was impressed by the stage in the demo, and
apparently the full game will allow you to run the full master rallye
from start to finish. There are lots of nice valleys and such to fall
into and destroy your car (including rivers...had a viper racing
flashback, hehe). I was only able to play with keyboard, since it
wasn't on my home machine, but the physics modeling was at least
believable. The cars slide on dirt and won't climb up vertical cliff
faces like in that awful new Rally Champ game (whomever at Actualize
decided to can Magnetic Fields should be canned themselves). I'll
need to try it with the wheel to get a better impression but I found
the keyboard handling to be on par with the Rally Trophy demo and the
stage was much much better, imho. If the physics are solid I think
Master Rallye may be the sleeper racing sim of this winter, especially
since NO ONE is using real stages in their sims. I have yet to see a
fictional stage in a rally sim that was as fun as the real stages in
RC2000 and the MR demo.
I love rallying on my pc so much, I wish someone would put out a sim
with a good tire model and real 20 mile stages from actual events. I
could wipe all the circuit-based sims from my hd. As it stands I've
been through half a dozen rally games and RC2000 is still the only one
I have installed.

Do you get an in-car view ??
Would like to see the steering wheel moving.
It feels like there is a large dead-zone here on my system ? (LWFF)
Cant find any axis settings anywhere ??
Anyway, I miss some pace-notes, keep missing the turns.
Sense of speed is not impressing compared to RC2000.
Not sure about the handling, this 'big-deadzone' feeling ruins the game for
me.
As the game is now it won't end up under my christmas tree :-)

Not me. ;) I prefer NOT to see the wheel or the
fake hands....
It's possible that a joystick configuration
utility like CTFJ! could solve that. I did not
notice a huge dead-zone.
Don't believe there are any. There is, however,
an easily editable configuration file. Might be
worth poking around in there.
Me, too. Then I figured out that I should be
paying attention to the handy little compass in
the lower left. I ignored it for a while and
wound up driving (repeatedly!) into a river! :P
Were you racing alone or with other vehicles?
Racing against other vehicles makes a big
difference.
Understandable. Like I said, CTFJ! might help.
You can find it here:

That should leave room, then, for Rally Trophy!
:D
