N2 - undocumented hot keys

by Ian Greenwoo » Fri, 13 Jun 1997 04:00:00

We in the UK do not appear to have got the hot key list that N2 buyers
in the States had (e.g. keyboard L = spotter report on leader ). With
this in mind, would someone be kind enough to post it on-line or tell
us  where to find it ?

Ian,

I have also noticed a few things that we Brits didnt't get. I know of
the 'o' key for your lap times, the 'l' for the leader (as stated
above :). The 'Alt' key to view the other menu under F2 without having
to hit Enter. The "#" key appears to take screen grabs for us, (the
key to left of Enter) and "\" doesn't.

As to the difference in manuals UK-US....

It only has 96 pages. Much improved over the initial N1 release, which
had only 12!!!!! Plus 6 more for installation and t/shooting. :P

The manual seems to have been re-written for Europe (which I guess is
good.) We have explanations for "Loose" and "Tight/Push", does the US
ver?

On page 7 there is a screen-shot of the Race Options screen, it shows
"Numbers of opponents" set to 41. Is that interesting?? :)))

It says that Entry Lists can only have 1 player, denoted by a * ,
nothing about being at the top of the list either...

Don't get me wrong, I think that the manual is good, and much better
than my N1 manual. It has plenty of good stuff like explaining
drafting, pit-stops, points system.
In some ways this was unneccesary, according to the latest UK PC
Gamer, crashing into other cars is much better in N2 than 1, so that's
why N1 isn't on the "Top 100" games list. Oh... ok...

Having said this, UK PC Gamer did quote in their N2 review: "Those
nice people at Sierra will be using our CD to carry any new tracks
that they may release." It's to that point, anyway... s'pose this is
out the window now the BGN pack has been anounced, as a product.

The US definitions for Loose and Tight:

Loose: Bad
Tight: Bad

Simple enough? :)

How about:
Tight: Driver's eyes get big.
Loose: Passenger's eyes get big.
