Castrol Superbike demo options

I haven't seen anyone mention all the different views you have while racing in this fun demo, and the fact that you can watch a replay ANYTIME during the race... The 2 key on your keypad will give you 1st person perspective and behind the bike views... The 0 key on your keypad will cycle through EVERY view in the demo while your racing and in replays. This makes it so much better than being stuck with only 2 views like Joe said earlier. I'm not sure if you figured this out yet Joe... Try it... Hitting the spacebar while racing will pull up a Pause/Replay option, so you can start a replay anywhere during your race and switch views/ etc. To resume racing hit spacebar again... Hope this makes this demo more fun for everyone. It's amazing what you can learn in the readme files! :) Pete

Another useful tip... It's the F9 and F10 buttons that shorten or lengthen the draw distance (controlling popup). I can get very good framerates on an overclocked AMD 225/ Voodoo 1 system at about the middle setting for this. Pete >>I haven't seen anyone mention all the different views you have while racing

So, is this an "arcade" game or a "sim"?? The demo is obviously set up to be running in more or less an "arcade" mode where you can't really crash and it's fairly easy to operate. However, the bike setup screens indicate that it's a "simulation" with lots of adjustments to play with. The question is how well the adjustments translate to differences in feel on the track. Also, the view when racing is really cool with the screen "leaning" in the turns and popping up when you do wheelies. OTOH, the scenery looks sort of arcadish -- not what I would expect to see alongside a real track. -- Doug Gordon (Remove "nospam." from e-mail address) >I haven't seen anyone mention all the different views you have while racing >in this fun demo, and the fact that you can watch a replay ANYTIME during >the race... >The 2 key on your keypad will give you 1st person perspective and behind the >bike views... >The 0 key on your keypad will cycle through EVERY view in the demo while >your racing and in replays.
