NetKar manual?

Is there a readme or a manual for NetKar somewhere? I'd like to know which keys can be used in the game. Some function keys give some very weird views, I can't find the button to forward/rewind replays, and most of all I'd like to know where the Shift-R button is.. Driving the Supra on the Ring is hard <g> Andre

There should be a readme in the main netkar folder KEY CONTROLS REPLAYS R - Replay D - Rewind (in replay) F - Ffwd (in replay) S - Slow motion VIEWS F3 - External/Internal view F2 - Camera car mode (in replay) B - Select camera car F4 - Mirror (on/off) F5 - Overlay display (on/off) F7 - Decrease FOV F8 - Increase FOV F12 - Elicopter view ctrl+leftmouse zooms in&out in garage INFOS F1 - Info display mode SUPRA 1...0 - Turbo boost L - Lights on/off F3000 L - Fuel display mode (liters/laps) PAGANI ZONDA A - ABS (on/off) T - Traction Control (on/off) L - Lights on/off FERRARI 360 A - ABS (on/off) L - Lights on/off MGZS L - Lights on/off FERRARI GTO L - Lights on/off MINI L - Lights on/off VERSION HISTORY 26/5/2003 netKar 096 - "Elisa" - Controller polling down to 100Hz - Fuel indicator and speedometer implemented on the GTO - Fuel indicator on the Zonda - nkTelemetry major rewrite - nkBrowser - Final physics for all the cars - New camera realistic mode - Elicopter camera - Time of the day illuminations - Lights on the cars - Garage for quick watch - New linear/exponential steer control - Performance meter on MG, F3000, Supra - New digital cockpit on the Supra - Loading screens - Better walls collision - Fixed doppler effect in replay - Restored gearchange sound fx - Sound frequency fixed on all the cars - External ini for head movement control - F3000's steering wheel now is locked and visible when "show steer" is unselected. - Implemented packers on the F3000, F.Renault, Supra - Added pre load control to MG and GTO. - Implemented EBB (Electronic Brake Balance) on the MINI - Fixed ABS no-stop bug 14/4/2003 netKar 095beta3 - "Kuraki" - Controller polling in sync with physic engine - 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO - External RPM reference for sounds - Fixed springs application point - Released multiplayer client - Implemented glance system - Fixed nkChat - New engine power/coast system - Variable level environment mapping - New 3D model for the Zonda - Fixed holes in the Ferrari 360 3D model - Less damping in the tyres - Brake bias ratio range limited to "sensible" values - FPS capping KNOWN BUGS: - 360 skin are not correct - MINI replay is causing a crash 30/3/2003 netKar 095beta2 - Spring preload control on F3000 and Supra - Ground effect on F3000, Zonda, Supra, F.Renault and Ferrari 360 - Pagani Zonda - Collision detection speed improvements - Setup UI improved - Spring settings are now in wheel rate - Tyre pressure on F3000 - Car bottoming implemented for F3000, F.Renault, Supra - Fixed setup copy/new for the F3000 - Fixed pad decreasing bug on all the cars - Added ABS for the Ferrari 360 - Damage modelling for suspensions "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Those keys don't work for me :-( Remco

Strange, it works here.. The second internal view is much more zoomed in than the original view. Andre

Great you found your way to netKar Andre :) Guess the wife permits racing then :D About the zoom thing, you sure you didn't change the FOV? Cheers, /Martin

There are 2 of these cockpit views, F2 and F3. With the F3 view you can't (well at least I can't) use the FOV keys. But when you turn the mirror off in F2 mode, and you switch to F3 mode, you have a totally different FOV than with the mirror on. Say, did I understand correctly that you did the Ring conversion to Netkar? Is there a way you think to fix that horizon problem? The Ring is the best track to drive in Netkar (hell the best track in ANY sim :) but that weird horizon problem is kind of taking away the realism :) And while you're at it, how about NetkarRA? :) Andre >Cheers, > >/Martin

Yep. > Is there a way you think to fix that horizon problem? The Ring >is the best track to drive in Netkar (hell the best track in ANY sim >:) but that weird horizon problem is kind of taking away the realism >:) I'll most likely not do anything more on the Ring. I mainly converted it to see if my converter program and netKar could handle the track. To do a good version of the Ring would take too much time for me I'm afraid. :/ >And while you're at it, how about NetkarRA? :) Most likely not! :) I'll try just to race netKar. Although when GPL was released I said the same thing... /Martin

Thanks! :) Driving the GTO on the Norschleife is one of the best experiences in my Sim racing career :) By the way, in september I will be 2 days on the Nordschleife with an Lotus Elise.. should be even more fun ;) >I'll most likely not do anything more on the Ring.
