IDEA FOR A NEW SIM

Hi all ! Yesterday when ordering my stuffs, i found again my old PC ( Amstrad PC 1512 ), and the games that i had with it... and particulary one : 4D Sports Driving. For the people who don't know the game, it was "sim" ( mean that you had to brake to take turns and was in 3D ).It was like the arcarde game Hard Drivin' or PC game Stunt Driver ( i don't mean Stunt Racer - on amiga - ) . In the tracks there were stunts as looping, corscrew ( big pipe were you had to pass on roof of pipe to go through it ), banked jump, banked turns, bridges, spiral ramp, etc... Well, i imagine a game like this, with GPL car physics, and today 3D graphics. WAOW ! Could be very fun AND interesting to drive, go through the banked jump at the right speed to land right on the other side of the banked jump, not too far because you'll crash on the road ( too much vertical speed) and not to short . And as the original 4D sport driving, it would have a track editor ! .... well, i think, i found an idea of game for my spare time :o) what do you think about this ? -- Seb Game Developer GPLRank -37.10 http://magicfr.multimania.com

There's a list of sites that carry various abandonware titles at http://www.abandongames.com. 4D Sports Driving is definitely listed here. This site is a good one to bookmark as well. Have fun. S�bastien Tixier wrote:

Stunt Driver! I still have that somewhere. It was soo cool back then, the car would lean when taking a corner and the shaker hood scoop would really shake!

And there was null-modem support , but with bugs, because after a few minutes, the 2 PCs was de-synchronised and only 1 PC could see both cars ! and Stunt Driver had some cool stunts that 4d had not , like Corscrew jump, 2 mid corscrew and a river beetween them, you'll have to land on the other side of the corscrew with the car upside down ... thrill !! :o) Moving bridge ... like those on Midtown madness. and more ....

WAOW ! Hm, yes, one of my first side-programs with the Racer engine would be a revision of Stunt Car Racer. Currently though it has the problem that GPL has with the Pants Ring. However, that is just a question of having the rays from the wheels take on the car orientation, and than you can create VRML tracks in which you can drive upside down (I have another nice idea to test for this; driving a F1 car upside down based on downforce alone, a fallen 'U' track). But that's still some time away, first some skiing. But quite fun. >Could be very fun AND interesting to drive, go through the banked jump >at the right speed to land right on the other side of the banked jump, >not too far because you'll crash on the road ( too much vertical speed) >and not to short .

speaking of these trick type games, have any of you guys played whiplash and/or know where I could get that game? I used to have it (came with some hardware I bought) but I have lost the game. It was a real fun game with some decent physics and decent AI to race against. JB "S�bastien Tixier" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Whiplash was originally Fatal Racing from the UK. It was a fun head-to-head game at the time. I don't know where to find it (other than in my closet) but it might give you more options to check. Wonder if it's in abandonware sites? Jason. Wosco wrote:

First off I gota say idea does appeal to me even though I prefer more realistic type games (I too feel under the spell of Whiplash though...head-to-head was REALLY fun in that). But as far as the abandonware sites go...WOW!! I remember playing a bunch of those games on console year ago. Amazing how many Nintendo and Sega Genesis titles I recognized going through that list. Quite impressive these games are still around (other than at flea markets). Chris

> But very difficult probably with GPL physics! Anyway, would be too > nice to skip. I don't think so !!! GPL is difficult not because the engine is very realistic BUT because the car were very difficult to drive fast. If you take normal cars with very realistic car physics it's really easy to drive !!!! I'm sur that A Subaru Impreza STI with GPL physics will be VERY easy to drive because the real car IS ! ( in fact the subaru is need more a rail train physics ;o))) ) > >And as the original 4D sport driving, it would have a track editor ! > > Just use 3D Studio Max.

Yeah, some years ago we play lots of this game in LAN networks with friends, but, it's not enough stunt driving compare to Stunt Driver or 4D sports driving, IMO. regards, -- Seb Game Developer GPLRank -37.10 http://magicfr.multimania.com

Yeah, Stunt Driver was great! My friend and I used to play together on a null-modem cable, or through the phone lines on our wickedly fast 2400/9600 baud modems. There was an editor for that as well, it took months before I discovered it. That really added to the fun. One really cool thing was, if you accelerated right away, then shifted into neutral (before it hit second gear, I think, it's been years), the thing would accelerate to 300 mph in about 5 seconds! I did that over the modem with my friend, who of course, freaked out.

Wonder >if it's in abandonware sites? Yep, I got it off abandonware last summer. Great game. :) Especially with the codes.
