GTR: adjusting your seat with the mouse BRILLIANT !!!

Not sure if anyone has picked up on this yet, but while your in the car if you hold the left mouse button down and move the mouse forward you'll notice you move closer to the dash, move the mouse bacwards and you push away from the dash.. Height adjustment is included as well, hold right mouse button down, move mouse forward/back to raise or lower your seating position.. Its simply the coolest feature and so simple.. Amazing no other dev team had done this before...... Bravo SBDT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OHhhhhhhhh those engine sounds, daaaaaaaaaaaaaayum. I had my sub whoofter maxed out, it was rubbling somethin fierce. Let of the throttle and get that tranny whine...chill bump city !!! Hmmmmmmmmmm, now if I could just get Alison to do a Mission Impossible and sneak into SIMBIN offices and sneak a Shelby Cobra roadster into GTR, I'd be set.. That BMW Z3 looks like it might be a blast though, can't wait for the full version ...

Yeah, it's a feature I wasn't expecting and it's wonderful. According to the menu it supports those TrackIR thingies like the flight sims do so you can free look around the cockpit

View control was jumpy. I hope they correct the problem...

actually a team does run a BMW Z3 at select tracks, actually I think its just 24HR spa.... On Sun, 02 May 2004 15:51:48 -0500, Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote:

ok, no Bimmers in the GTR demo. ! :) I did see the one lone Z3 in the 24 hours qualifying list. It was the 2nd slowest car in the entire 52 car field. Almost 10 seconds behind the slowest Porche. Interestingly, the Demo movies for GTR are now showing laps in the 2:10 range at Spa. The FIA GT pole for 2003 was 2:15. Once again the Simmers undercut real world time. But at least my paltry 2:22 would at least put me in the field in the GT category. lol! dave henrie
