It's the old one. -Ilari http://www.spiele-city.net/previews.php?action=view&id=RallyTrophy

Btw, is there any reason why none of these headlights cast any light on the track ? I cannot recollecting seeing any screenshots where the lights actually light-up a surface... Is this a hardware-limit thingy? Also.. the Red-line at 10,000 rpm might be a bit optimistic :-) ed_ "Ilari Lehtinen" wrote: > It's the old one. > > -Ilari > > > Say - is that AVI new or is it the old one?? > >

Hrm, again I hit the wrong reply button.. Here's a proper answer, not just email to Ed :) http://www.spiele-city.net/show.php?pic=/previews/RallyTrophy/64.jpg shows them among a few other shots, although not very clearly. It's more "visible" in motion, especially with that version when the light intensity wasn't adjusted and the cast angle was set too high. It's there, don't worry ;) -Ilari "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:mdg77.331$[email hidden]... > Btw, is there any reason why none of these headlights cast any light onthe

Aren't we in for treats today.. High Gear (http://www.simracingnews.com) posted their preview up, and SimActu (http://www.simactu.com) did the same thing. Enjoy :) -Ilari "Ilari Lehtinen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9jk1kj$50h$[email hidden]...

It looks really good Ilari. By looks I mean physics wise, of course eye-candy is nice too :) http://www.sportplanet.com/hg/screenshot.php?id=17&pic=e11.jpg - The skid marks are different shades depending on the force applied. http://www.sportplanet.com/hg/screenshot.php?id=17&pic=e3.jpg - Suspension dropping on the LF. http://www.sportplanet.com/hg/screenshot.php?id=17&pic=g6.jpg - More suspension stuff. http://www.sportplanet.com/hg/screenshot.php?id=17&pic=f2.jpg - In car views :) I like the world-wide release strategy too!

Someone definitely seems to pay attention to things! I wish there was a video of a car slowly climbing from a ditch - the tyre movement is beautiful, especially when it teeters on one front wheel and one rear wheel and the car slowly tips to the side it's leaning on.. :) -Ilari "Jason Monds" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I just had a look at the official web-site... (looks very nice btw :) and saw the story about car sounds.. I see pictures of parked cars "being recorded".... does this mean that you never recorded any sounds of the gear-train ?? Rally- and race-cars sound soo different when the gears are running compared to mere engine sound. Inside a race-prepared car - I'd say the gear-box alone makes for 95% of the noice you head... Does 'RT' got gearboox sounds too? Also, a few other things I noticed... the drivers got nomex-gloves on!! I dont think rally drivers started wearing gloves until the late 80's - early 90's ! I also read something about the Cortina being a very sucessfull rally-car... you sure you dont mean the Escort? I would say the Escort is alot more famous and winning car than the Cortina... - no? But then again... the Mini got them both beat! :-) Can't wait! ed_

If Nomex gloves constitute an inexcusable anachronism, so should an Escort. ;) If memory serves, it wasn't around in the era simulated here - didn't it replace the Cortina models sometime in the seventies? +Cinquo

Era simulated in RT is broadly spoken 'sixties and seventies' so Escort fits in nicely, and the glove issue is just a matter of texture map (subject to change anyways, btw).. We can make them rubbery or woolly or whatever if needed ;) -Ilari "Ville V Sinkko" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9jlr0b$d5s$[email hidden]... > Ed Solheim <[email hidden]> wrote: > > > I see pictures of parked cars "being recorded".... does this mean thatyou > > never recorded any sounds of the gear-train ??

cortina WAS very successful with it's lotus engine in the beggining of the sixties, they (ford) did some rallyes, circuit races and so on....I think it was the beggining of Ford in racing, then came the FABULOUS GT40 era, then on to F1 with the cosworth engine....until now buying JAGUAR and PI RESEARCH to do F1.

Hehehe.. I dont know about you, but to me sound is very important in a race-sim... and as said the noice from the gearbox make it all sound *miles* more noicy and different. Infact I'll rank sound as the third important 'thing' in a sim, after physics and online-racing.. ed_ "Ville V Sinkko" wrote: > > Geez, people, aren't you getting a tad too picky already?

Sounds great! A nice pair of worn brown or black "short" leather-gloves would fit - well... like a glove! :-) Guess the gearbox sound is missing then..? :-( ed_ "Ilari Lehtinen" wrote: > Era simulated in RT is broadly spoken 'sixties and seventies' so Escort > fits in nicely, and the glove issue is just a matter of texture map(subject to > change anyways, btw)..
