Re: Super 1Karting Retail, Wow its just great FUN

I'm quite intrigued by this game, could someone tell what circuits are included? Rick.

What does this actually do to the Kart - I noticed in the button assignment menu they call this "choke". The only time I have fiddled with a choke was starting a very tempramental Metro. So what effect does it have on a running (warmed up) kart ? When do you need to use it ? I noticed the engine sounds very "rough" on the long straights, should I choke it then as it didn't really seem to make much difference. -- John Hartridge [email hidden]

I like it VERY much too, it's great karting sim. -Jani Kankaanp��- "Hotdog" <[email hidden]> kirjoitti viestiss� news:[email hidden]...

From my experience from attending kart races. The drivers need to choke their engines by putting their hand over the air intake. By doing so the engine gets less air and more fuel in the carburetor and will thus provide additional cooling of the engine and supplying extra torque. That's why the do it at the end of a straight just before a tight corner... Looks like I need to pick up this "sim" to test it. Should I pick up the retail version directly ? Never tried the demo. I do kart from time to time but it is with souped up 4-stroke karts (15 Bhp), which do not need the addtional choke. I hope to try one of these 2-stroke beasts this summer ...

And what does it do exactly? Andre

Everything sounds great except for this: You ha FUN drving GPL first? Are you Mad:-)

In real life it is done just before turning into a corner... once or twice a lap. probably before the more tighter turns of a lap.

I just got the retail version off Super 1 karting and boys it just great, much better than the demo I tried. This game is just so much FUN, so far im in rookie mode and im using a T.K.M class of kart, its great fun to drive these things, handeling seems good and allthough I have only driven indoor karts it feels very real to me, I havent had this much FUN since I first got GPL. Graphics are great and im running at 640x480 full detail with 24 karts darwn, all the tracks look fantastic and at higher res they look even better, i tried 1024x768 and ut ran ok FPS were still quite high but I found it better in 640x480 and made my driveing smoother. I would say at the higher res settings this game is as good as SBK 2000 in the looks department. Game play is great, the AI seem good and I have had some good races with them, I have seem them slide in corners and get sideways around bends, spin out and overtake me, all in all very solid AI so far. Lots of options too , the one I really like is at the start where you can pick Arcade or Simulation and then get more or less options depending on which part of the game you enter, Arcade is pure fun and is great for a quick blast with very simple kart physics, Simulation is where im speending most my time though, here you can pick Karts from 3 classes T.K.M I.C.M F.A. and also jump in and set up your kart as well. Anyway im really finding this FUN to drive and play, and I would recommend it too all you guys in here, like I said I cant really judge if its a true simulation of the karts involved but frankly I dont care really as like I said it just all pure fun to drive in this game. Ok only things I dont like and would hope Midas fix in a patch allthough 1 is a extra I would like Midas to add. Needs a look Left & Right ( for overtaking) No support for split axis thr & brake only combined :(. Some tracks/Karts are locked out untill you complete & win a championship. (its my game let me have access to all in it) Slight dead zone on my USB MS Wheel ( like the demo had) but when i tried my Logitech Wingman Extream joystick deadzone was gone so its only on my wheel. I have edited the gp.cfg and made the deadzone 0 wich made it better but theres still a slight one there. Thats it so far FUN FUN FUN all the way. BTW my rig is Celeron 366 O/C to 458 128 meg Sdram V3 3000

The HighGear www.simracingnews.com has started (today) a forum dedicated to this great sim, you should check it out! Cheers, JeDa Hotdog <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws [email hidden]...

Here we go: Buckmore Park (= my favorit) Shenington Rowrah Nutts Corner Clay Pigeon Fullbeck Lydd International Three Sisters P.F. International Wood Hill BTW, these are reallife kart tracks! There's supposed to be a bonustrack, which will be available after winning a championship. On their site they mention "a real GP track", so this could be a F1 track... Lets hope it's Spa!

The game play is very sweet in this game, I have just noticed that if you put your hand over the carb (I think its the carb) and try to take a corner you cant turn as hard in to the corner untill you take your hand back to the steering wheel which gives you more movment.

Grab the full game, it really is fun, mind you the demo does give a good impresion of the game, allthough the full version gives better FPS than the demo and the AI feel a bit better. Qs So do I choke just before bends or down the whole straight ?? Hotdog

Buckmore park is British, I thought ther were only three or four real ones. UK's PC Zone gave the game 34%. Andi. Tim Deatherage <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:QVJR4.15060$[email hidden]...
