Can anyone give me any "info" on "Viper Racing"? Also if there
are Urls to go to get extra addons, goodies etc..? I've seen many
posts before but I didnt really read them. I just got it at my local
Staples for $4.95 and now need some input! :)

Has anyone had any luck getting Viper Racing to work properly under Win2K?
It loads fine, but the sounds is really choppy and tends to stutter a lot.

that were great in SBK 2000 are a notch better in SBK 2001, like the
graphics and tracks. Drives very nice with all the help options turned off.
Also really like the wet weather effects, very convincing. I think I found
why the SBK 2001 demo was running slow, it was the 'real shadows' option,
which i've turned off, so I'm getting good framerates with plenty of AI
bikes. And of course, the replays load fine, unlike SBK 2000.
:)
(Viper Racing is fun btw, but I don't know any good sites for it, so can't
help there)

And some really
wierd hacks that you can turn on. But good physics and excellent FF
though. You can really feel what overweight and overpowered pigs these
cars are. A nice diversion, but not really in the same category as GPL,
SBK2001, or even SCGT, IMO. If you've got the disk space and you're
bored it's not bad, but frankly I took it off my hard drive after about
a month, just didn't sustain my interest.

I have liked all of them if they

will enjoy SBK2001 more as you really get into it.. Have fun!
-Thom_j.
"O" yea, no biggy on Viper Racing. I bought it cuz it was cheap.

It's one of a kind and bloody brilliant!
You start off in the lowest class with next to no money, and you have to do
well to get more money to buy better bits for your car. If you do well
enough through the season you get promoted to the next class up, where
you're allowed to do more mods to the car. You end up with a real beast!

Nope, sorry. I gave up on 3D PC gaming two years ago. (I'm a PS2 gamer)
I just built a smokin' 1.4GHz Athlon/Radeon 64MB DDR system, but haven't
gotten around to installig Windoze yet; maybe this weekend. When I do,
I will most certainly install VR again.

Isn't there a Win98 compatibility mode you can set for each piece of
software. It's in the properties I think.

Buy it.
That's all the input you need at $4.95 :)
It's an excellent simulator.

You have to remember, the compatibility mode doesn't really emulate Windows
9x CODE, it only emulates certain system variables and procedures so the
Installers will run and the game will function. If there is a direct
incompatibility with the way something is executed in 2K/XP, the
incompatibility will still be there.
For example, trying to run a game that access the video hardware directly.
It won't run in 2K/XP, and it STILL won't run in compatibility mode.
At least this is how it's been explained to me...
Thanks for the idea, though!

sims. Maybe I'll have to go to dual boot sometime.
thanks for the help
