Just for you know:
it's my bigger disapointment for a game in my 10 years video games experience.
I'm really angry vs this stupid Geoff.

Oh... sorry. My review copy didn't have a manual :-) I just fooled
around with the graphic options menu.

So, I don't know of any way to adjust zoom while driving. And didn't
know you were supposed to either.

Hey, this game is as arcade as the game you mentionned here (NFS).
When we lost a rear or a front wing, we do the same time as with it, pretty
weird, uh ??
And when people don't have money to buy a 180$ FFSW, do you have a matter
with that ?!? I'm not Bill Gates.

It may be the language barrier, but I have NO idea what your point is in this

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I aid:
Do you see the "on screen" messages that appears sometimes in yellow fonts,
like "Driver X is out" or "you did the best lap".
It's awful. It's like my old Amiga of the 1990's.
Geoof can't coding well. He is idiot.

Ok, I understood it THAT time<g>.  Can't answer your question, though.  Sorry.
