Check out the 480's in this game

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

For others cars check: http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=237 and http://www.racer-xtreme.com/car_index.php

About the 480 model. I would love to hear some comments from you since I happen to work on it occasionally. So I can improve it.

PS you can take screenies with F12. Racer saves a tga-file in the data/dump folder. Convert them to jpeg and post them here!

Well it seems to need some weight to it or something?! I crashed it and it flew off into space! Bit hard to tell as it is very transparent when loaded.

Hmm, make sure you use version 0.5.3 beta 1.6 it is better then 0.5.0 final

Version 0.5.3 beta 1.6 can be found here:
http://www.menudeimotori.com/downloads/ ... hp?cat=169

Any problems Racer that will come across when playing. It will post it in the Qlog file. So check this when looking for solutions.

So in short
-Download version 0.5.3 beta 1.6.
-Unzip it
-run config.exe; select graphics
-run racer.exe; select options and setup graphics, sound and controllers
-select car
-select track
-select quick race
-(possible you have to set up your firewall to accept Racer, Racer uses an internal port)
-Have fun

The red one is a project of somebody else, I have it, but cannot give it to you.
I see I forget something in the zip-file (that's way the tires are red)
:nuts:
Hmm, it certainly needs an update...
