Driver

Can someone help me with the "presidents run" level in Driver ? The cops are completely nuts on that level. My car is wrecked before I get halfway... This is on playstation m talking about... Frank

Then when I used invulnerability, it was still extremely hard. The impact of those black cars were flipping my car on a regular basis. I found it to be a big let down to have to resort to using cheats to complete the level, but the insane volume of chasers and the speed those black cars get up to, unless there's some way to sneak to the objective without being seen, a car chase will inevitably end up with you plastered all over the street. You're doing well by getting half way! Cheers, Rod.

Practice, it can be done. I haven't but a friend mine has, I saw it and he did it without using cheats. Brian > On Wed, 29 Sep 1999 13:03:37 +0100, "Frank Roger Vangen" > >Can someone help me with the "presidents run" level in Driver ? The cops are

I think I have tried 100 times, the closest Ive gotten is two blocks from the finish... So i used the invincible cheat, it was actually difficult with that cheat because they always flipped my car over... ;p Frank

I really like this game but I cannot start the undercover stuff because I am missing half the keys required to pass the driving test... I suppose I could use the keyboard, but I want to use my saitek r4 FF. Once you choose joystick/wheel, the keyboard ceases to work completely... So you must try to to remap some keys (like the 360 or or the view keys), but there are more keys than buttons (designed for 8 buttons), so I end up having 2 things mapped to a button, and then you can never leave that menu (the horn honks and there is no way out)... That sucks, I'd much rather use the wheel than the keyb. Anyone got a fix for this ? A few times I have been pushed - and got stuck - outside the scenery by the cops, that's also bad but not too buggy so far... That means I am stuck with the driving games for now (patch?) but even just those are worth the money ! Great stuff... Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

This function-mapping thing was a bug in the demo that I heard was going to be fixed in the real game, but as you've found out, no such luck. I've sent an email to GT's support and if I har anything I'll pass it along. As far as passing the driving test, the only functions you need to make sure are mapped to your wheel's buttons are the "burn out" and "handbrake". ...207

complaint....when you choose joystick, you can't map the keyboard to do anything.) To get rid of your "double mapping", choose the item that you don't want to be mapped to that button anymore, then hit return to highlight it, then spacebar. Spacebar will demap it, so it is not used in the game. There are certain functions you need, so demap the ones that are not neccesary. I am using the Logitech FF wheel, and since the cars all seem to be automatic shifting, have mapped the shifter to do certain functions, and my buttons for others, giving me a total of six to choose from. Here are the ones I've chosen to map: Burnout, Handbrake, Lookleft,Lookright, Horn, and Changeview. With these I've managed to pass the driving test, and they seem to be all you need. Hope this helps and good luck! Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I had tried this but for some reason it did not work for me, I must have goofed... I'll try again, thanks for the tip ! GReg. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

I find the only way was to just keave foot to the petal and drive straight down the first highway, praying that when I have to make that one turn I don't have half a dozen cops on my tail.
