also there are a few mistakes in the car.ini

is its set up as 350bhp and 6 gears. ive edited it down to 225bhp and 5 gears etc.

its a NIGHTMARE playing with the keyboard tho

For a free game can you really argue?

I had a go with the lambo. I like the thought gone into the game where you have to control the clutch to pull away and rev the car to make it start and if you stop without dipping clutch it stalls (hard to do with a keyboard)

but the car handles like crap. far to rigid and not very realistic at all.

There was a similar game I used to play called live for speed. At the time it lacked the choice of real cars etc.. but the cars felt far less regid than this one.

nice find though!

i love live for speed, but unfortunatly no Nordschleiffe on it

edit the car.ini file to change the characteristics

youll want to chance MAX rpm MAX torque, anc drag_co

i used 7200rpm 227 torque and 0.5 drag co

that'll pull 170 indicated on the main straight like that (rather than 200+ indicated )
