Stunt GPL Game

Maybe someone should make a track or edit a track to make a stunt GPL racer. The jumping and general physics is so realistic, it would be good. You could have a grass race track, and various jumps. Do you think the game has the G-Force Physics for a car to do a loop the loop? This would be damned good...

hmmm, Monster trucks, Could use that area! lol Wish Papyrus would think about creating many different racing sims using the GPL physics model. Like... Monster trucks, DIRT car racing, go-carts, Indy cars, ect, ect,..

Yeah, they would just have to tweak the model a little bit and change the 3d model for the cars and they would be done. I bet their 3d program is a sinch to use and I bet making new cars would be so easy. Jesse

There are a few good jumps if you go cross country at Zandvoort.

Or else they could licence the engine to other games developers. Imagine NFS3, TOCA2, MGPRS2 etc all with the GPL physics engine. Papyrus probably wouldn't be able to make all these classes but others could do the graphics and gameplay aspects. Cheers, Paul

I kinda like going full blast to the bridge and going off the road right before it. Boy do the parts fly!!!!!

Hi Martin, Oh, the days of plugging dollar after dollar into that infernal machine! ...and standing in a line to do it! A local mall arcade still has one of the machines that I used to play. FF is non-functional, game only works with auto shift... I visit it once in a while, and remove my hat whilst a tear wells up in my eye. ;) Brett

I did a jump clean across the road that Evel Knievel would be proud of :) -- Ian Parker ICQ 21772592 >There are a few good jumps if you go cross country at Zandvoort.

Brett, you speak the truth! :-) I got to the point on old Race Drivin' where I could literally lap the autocross course almost infinitely... I could stay on the thing for an hour or hour and a half once. If you'd lap fast enough, you'd actually GAIN time back on that ticker limiting your time... one lap there would be 10 seconds left at the s/f line, about 5 laps later there would be 12! :-) That was THE best FF and physics at the time... well done. --Dave PS -- Did you ever find the skidpad?

Or try jumping off the ramp round the back at Kyalami. Come to that, how many of you have driven on the railway track at Spa? I've not managed to hit any trains yet though;-) Mark >There are a few good jumps if you go cross country at Zandvoort.

Now you're talking :-) Anyone fancy a thrashing. Mark

Yes Martin... the autocross track! I used to drive the green "porsche" too... it was fast and fun. (see my reply to Brent about "infinite" time...) --Dave

On the long straight before the Masta Kink... Look at the left of the track, just behind the wall of hell exiting the corner before (WHO was enough stupid to think "Hey well let's put this big wall just where some people drift exiting the corner). ;-) And btw, anybody knows what is the thing in that straight, on the right side of the track before you enter the Masta Kink ?

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

Its in the beginning section at least drive to the end of the really long straight with the esses in the middle of it. Since you want to drive on the tracks, just driving in the arcade view and watch the left side of the road. You have to go up a hill to get on it. Jason.

>Yes Martin... the autocross track! I used to drive the green "porsche" >too... it was fast and fun. (see my reply to Brent about "infinite" >time...) Unfortunately I was never so good as to play for your hour and half! If only I didn't keep sliding the car's rear end through that final turn, maybe I'd have gone faster... However, even 20 minutes for a quarter is an amazing value for your money compared to today's "one dollar for three minutes" arcade games. By the way, did you ever play Race Drivin' on the "extra fancy" version? This is the sitdown cabinet with three screens and a very well-made metal-and-wood shifter. Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

Martin.. never played on that one. sounds cool. That last turn *was* a difficult one. A real tricky double apex thingy. I often went into it a little hot and pushed out to the edge of the track then re-apexed late onto the straight... not easy. Yeah, that was a good value :-) Nothing in the arcade comes close to it, even now. --Dave

The Skid Pad was a well kept secret. I had pumped hundreds of quarters into that game before I ever thought of turning left there. And here I thought I was the only fool who wished I could still find that game in an arcade. The "new" racing games don't even come close in physics. Wasn't it a Nissan Z car, or SX that was modeled? Seem to remember reading about it somewhere. I was always amazed by the FF steering, but disappointed by the game requiring you to use the clutch once under way. Anyone know where I could pick up one of these old games (either one - Hard Drivin', or Race Drivin')? I'd still love to have one. Ben www.hotyellow98.com/benfarneman

Now THIS is a good idea! I hope that somebody with a bit of background in making tracks will pick up on this idea. There are a few tracks where you can just about manage to get off the ground for a few moments, but they're no where near as much fun as the sort of thing you're speaking of. Keep the ideas flooding in!
