SODA deserves a sequel

I finally have hardware capable of running SODA with all the eye-candy on. The recommended specs were a P133, but my previous cptrsm (p166 & p450) wouldn't cut it without compromising. This sim is still a lot of fun. Dated, but fun. It's got believable physics, damage dynamics, moving suspension parts, adjustable in-car camera, track editor so you can download user-created tracks for almost infinite replayability. Double the screen resolution, add support for modern 3d acceleration & modern FF, maybe enhance the sound... it would be great! C'mon, we've had Nascar1,2,3,4,2002,Nascar Heat, Nascar 2000, and probably more. SODA deserves a sequel too!

I would definitely buy it, that was one great game, ahead of it's time Edward "Gary Wampler" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NMEn8.4740$[email hidden]... > I finally have hardware capable of running SODA with all the eye-candy on. > The recommended specs were a P133, but my previous cptrsm (p166 & p450) > wouldn't cut it without compromising. > This sim is still a lot of fun.

I actually prefer off-road racing, and would definitely buy a sequel. "Edward C" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:VFFn8.123$[email hidden]...

"Gary Wampler" <[email hidden]> wrote > SODA deserves a sequel too! I've made a track in SODA about a month ago. In fact, one of the greatest fun you could take out of SODA is creating tracks in the editor (it was SO easy), then trying to race them and see if they had kept your original vision of it. Still, give Leadfoot a try. It's not as good as SODA, but it's the closest we'll ever have of a modern stadium off-road truck sim. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

how long did it take your system to compile the track??? dave henrie "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:YOOn8.6519$[email hidden]...

>"Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote > how long did it take your system to compile the track??? Not long, perhaps 3-5 minutes if I remember correctly? Well, I found out somewhere a file on the Internet that hacks the track editor and makes it possible to put much more objects on the track, so it might be different then the standard version. But, I don't tweak the AI to race on the track (the self-learning process inside the game). I find it to be a waste of time, since it takes hours. I race the tracks all by myself without the AI, as I never were able to make them race at a good speed relative to mine. But the AI was quite good. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://www.ymenard.8m.com/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimato Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

Ah ...that's the time consuming part I remembered. With my 386, I think I left it on all night and it was still learning when I woke up...I might have to make another track just to see how long it takes for the learning process now... anyone need a rough Laguna Seca..?? :) dave henrie

How about in F1 2001??? ;o)

Hmm, that'd be a nice file to have . . . (hint, hint) :) ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Webmaster, http://www.gplworld.racesim.net/simcrash
