Master Rally demo (140MB)

Is anyone able to change video settings? Whenever I do it kicks me back to windows.

No, tried this demo on 3 machines with 3 different 3d cards and 2 didnt even get to the game and one just bombed out straightaway.

There is a new demo out, which is half the size of the original. I tried it on XP and it worked just fine. At first glance, the game seems decent, with longer stages and such. However, I couldn't find a cockpit mode.

Look at the screenshots in the preview on gamesdomain.com from a few months back. Not only is there a cockpit view, but the windshield is covered in crud. Looks pretty nice (don't remember if it had working gauges or not tho). I wasn't able to get the cockpit view in the demo either, fwiw. The demo looks nice. I was impressed by the stage in the demo, and apparently the full game will allow you to run the full master rallye from start to finish. There are lots of nice valleys and such to fall into and destroy your car (including rivers...had a viper racing flashback, hehe). I was only able to play with keyboard, since it wasn't on my home machine, but the physics modeling was at least believable. The cars slide on dirt and won't climb up vertical cliff faces like in that awful new Rally Champ game (whomever at Actualize decided to can Magnetic Fields should be canned themselves). I'll need to try it with the wheel to get a better impression but I found the keyboard handling to be on par with the Rally Trophy demo and the stage was much much better, imho. If the physics are solid I think Master Rallye may be the sleeper racing sim of this winter, especially since NO ONE is using real stages in their sims. I have yet to see a fictional stage in a rally sim that was as fun as the real stages in RC2000 and the MR demo. I love rallying on my pc so much, I wish someone would put out a sim with a good tire model and real 20 mile stages from actual events. I could wipe all the circuit-based sims from my hd. As it stands I've been through half a dozen rally games and RC2000 is still the only one I have installed. "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<C5BM7.42439$[email hidden]>...

Just downloaded the smaller demo and have been tossing it around with an Act Labs Force RS. Very nice. Very nice indeed. Managed to get all the different views to work and to shift manually while driving through the countryside, including farm yards. Given that this title is going to ship for a budget price in the US, it could well be a sleeper title. On 27 Nov 2001 00:14:40 -0800, [email hidden] (jason moyer) wrote:

Do you get an in-car view ?? Would like to see the steering wheel moving. It feels like there is a large dead-zone here on my system ? (LWFF) Cant find any axis settings anywhere ?? Anyway, I miss some pace-notes, keep missing the turns. Sense of speed is not impressing compared to RC2000. Not sure about the handling, this 'big-deadzone' feeling ruins the game for me. As the game is now it won't end up under my christmas tree :-) /Joergen

No -- in-car appears to be the one view that Master Rallye doesn't to have. >Would like to see the steering wheel moving.Not me. ;) I prefer NOT to see the wheel or the fake hands.... >It feels like there is a large dead-zone here on my system ?

Then I figured out that I should be paying attention to the handy little compass in the lower left. I ignored it for a while and wound up driving (repeatedly!) into a river! :P > >Sense of speed is not impressing compared to RC2000.Were you racing alone or with other vehicles?

Thanks again, I just had a blast around, and here are my thoughts. In looks and feel it is quite a lot like the Motocross madness series, tho with much nicer scenery. I would like the option to drive anywhere rather than keep being moved forcefully back onto the track. On the subject of force, my Logitech MOMO gave little in the way of FF, compared to how much I get in NFS:PU, there is next to none. I hope that they get this sorted out by the final release. The lack of FF made for a somewhat distanced feel, and I guess it will be a lot more fun when that is working fully. Overall, I liked it, tho sometimes it would be nice to have some pace notes....

I missed pace notes, too, until I realized the compass in the lower left was trying to help me find my way. :P (Notice I said "trying." I managed to visit a number of fine bodies of water before I figured that out.) On Tue, 27 Nov 2001 21:32:50 GMT, [email hidden] (Tsunami) wrote:

I for one will probably get this when it comes out, I don't have enough racing games to play with this fantastic wheel (is there any such thing as 'enough racing games'? ^_^). Currently I only have NFS:PU, Le mans 24 hours and Star Wars pod racer. Not a very good selection, other than NFS I know, but I only recently got back into racing games, having spent a LOOOOONG time enjoying 1st person blast em ups.

I think I'll pick it up, too. The multiple vehicle races are major fun. As for your selection of racing games, there is, in fact, no such thing as 'enough racing games.' (NFS:PU is one of my favorites.) And any racing game, including Megarace and Vakantie Racer, is better, in my opinion, than those game genres I don't care for. Yes, this is a somewhat subjective position, but, there it is. :P I even like Spirit of Speed 1937 (!) enough to be one of the officials of the Spirit of Speed 1937 Offline Challenge. If you're curious, you can learn more here: http://members.iquest.net/~jbodin/sosoc/ Glad you're enjoying Master Rallye. ;) On Tue, 27 Nov 2001 22:10:29 GMT, [email hidden] (Tsunami) wrote:

Remove "hi" from address or it will bounce....

I would like it even more if it still worked. I tried it this evening when I got in, and it just crashed on me. I tried re-installing it, but no go. I hope that the final version will be a lot more reliable than the demo! Tsunami Once upon a time [email hidden] scribed carefully:

I am running the following: Windows XP Pro/Win2K dual boot ATI Radeon VE 1GHz Athlon ABIT KT7a Raid 768 MB Ram I could try running it under windows 2000 and see if that is any better, at least until it comes out as a full version. What happens is that it starts, the screen goes black as the app starts up, then it just goes back to XP without taking anything else down with it. Very strange.

You're right. Very strange. My system is running the same CPU with a GeForce 2 GTS, Win98SE and only 256 MB Ram. And Master Rallye flies. Very strange. On Wed, 28 Nov 2001 22:39:24 GMT, [email hidden] (Tsunami) wrote:
