Spirit of Speed 1937: another gripe

Guys, thanks for your comments on Spirit of Speed 1937. I've noticed another poor aspect of the game. When you select a difficulty for a championship, you get a mix of cars and drivers to race against for that season. At each track, I noticed that the grid order was looking the same. I started checking, and yes, up to now the grid order for each different track in the season has been the same. In fact, its the same order as you initially see the cars in. How realistic is that? As it is the same grid order at different tracks, I can only assume the game is not in fact calculating the qualifying times for the computer cars....! Having the same computer driver level with cars with different characteristics would surely give different results at the different tracks - some tracks being suited to slower cars with more accerelation and so on...? (you can add this and no multiplayer to the list of gripes in my previous posting). This game seems to have been poorly thought through in its design stages.... I'm just glad I've kept the packaging and the till receipt. Cheers, Carl

Can you tell me if it is possible to increase the resolution upt 1024x768 as was possible in the demo by editing the init file. Is the handling and sound identical to the demo ? -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
Yes, you can do it, just like in the demo. Handling + sound did not change since the demo. Juergen On Sun, 28 Nov 1999 13:53:25 +1100, "Stephen Colbourne"
