GPL improves my SODA driving :)

I reinstalled SODA recently too, and had the same reaction. Despite the somewhat dated, blocky, low-res graphics, it seems that SODA has a terrific physics engine. Alison Alison Remove the spam blocker NOSPAM to email me. http://eaglewoman.maximumspeed.com

Just for fun I reinstalled SODA. It's a snap to drive now, and lots of fun. Shame about the graphics. I remember thinking it was a bastard to drive when I first got it, but after sliding GPL cars around the 'Ring, somehow it's quite natural now. Stephen

Truly unappreciated. Maybe if it'd had D3D and/or MTM2 like graphics it would have sold big time. Who knows. Another fine engine gone to waste. I always thought that a Rallycross game based on SODA would have been superb. Cheers, Mark Reading, UK Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Yes, I agree. Last August, I bought an old Hercules Thriller 4MB PCI for my older PC just to play SODA in Rendition (I was also hoping to use it to finally see what ICR2 looked like in 3D, but couldn't get it to work). Brian

It's like a mixture of GPL and Re-Volt. It helps pass the time between tedious finite-element analysis runs. By the way, I was astonished to read somewhere that Software Allies was a two-man show. In that context, the product is real nice. Wonder what Software Allies is up to now. Stepen :>Just for fun I reinstalled SODA. It's a snap to drive now, and lots of :>fun.

Brian-- ICR2 (CART Racing) looks awesome in Rendition mode. I'm holding off upgrading my Stealth II/Voodoo2 combo for as long as I can so I don't lose 3d ICR2 and SODA. I noticed at Wal-Mart the other day that CART Racing was sold as a single CD for $9.95--and it has the Rendition supported version on the disk. Once you use the methods on the net for making it work with your Thriller--it works great. If you get it, let me know if you have any questions about making it work with the V2200. I'll be glad to help somebody else enjoy the classic that is ICR2. ANash xvman.vcf < 1K Download

Thanks for the offer. I found a couple of sites that have detailed instructions on how to make it work and I'll give it a go. Brian
