BURNOUT Championship Drag Racing
PLAYER'S CHOICE EDITION.
CHANGES IN THIS VERSION (2.01)
---------------------------------------------------
1) The Two Step (rev limiter) works correctly. The
upper rpm value wasn't correctly limiting the
engine rpm. Now, the first value is the rpm limit
when the Two Step is engaged, and the second value
is the maximum engine rpm limit when the Two Step
is disengaged. When you prohibit the use of the
rev limiter in the class restrictions, the Two
Step has no affect and engine rpm is not limited.
2) Class files load correctly. There was a problem
that caused certain restrictions to become corrupt
when loading a class file.
3) Driver names appear correctly in the ladder diagram
when you join a network event.
4) Fixed an engine sound problem that occurred if you
changed engine sounds during a multiplayer race.
You no longer can change engine sounds between runs.
The sound that is chosen prior to the start of the
event will be used for the entire event. After the
event, the engine sound is updated to the currently
selected sound.
5) The Class name now appears in the ladder diagram
header. If the name is too long to fit in the
header, it is truncated when displayed.
6) Added the file names for the car interiors to the
CAR INFO tab in the paint shop.
7) There is a new command line option: -O
The '-O' option will make the Nitrous Oxide control
button act like an On/Off toggle switch. Press the
nitrous oxide button once to turn it on, and again
to turn it off. The default method requires the user
to hold down the button to keep nitrous oxide injection
on. Definitely use this option if you are experiencing
problems with your controls not responding to input
while holding down the nitrous button. When using this
option, The screen will display "N2O: ON" in the upper
left corner of the race screen when nitrous oxide
injection is on.
Example command line: C:\pce>pce -o <ENTER>
8) Fixed a problem with the engine dyno that caused
engines using the MANUAL ENTRY .050-LIFT TIMING
camshaft to produce incorrect horsepower and torque
curves. Good news for those of you who are using them,
because in most cases you should see a nice horsepower
and torque increase.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------
Version 2.00 and 2.01 are compatible for multiplayer
racing, but it is highly recommended that you install
and run the 2.01 patch.
