Retro Racing August 2020 - 1nsane

Exciting! I'll give it a shot over the weekend
Anyone else playing with a wheel btw? I'm actually finding it a bit easier than the keyboard.

 

Nah... I "lost" my wheel when I moved premises and other controllers packed away somewhere in storage, so on the lappy keyboard. I think with some of these games a keyboard can give a quicker l/r response sometimes compared to a gamepad... I suppose it depends on the game too and how commands and steering/acceleration work.

i dropped the 'player00.chp' into my game folder, but i still only have three tracks unlocked
am i doing it wrong ?

 

From memory I think you have to go load the saved player profile in the menu. The player is called "CLASS".

 

I looked, and no players except 'player'

has oneone elese tried the save ? did it work for you ?

 

Strange... I double-checked by downloading that file and replacing it. Should just live in the main game folder, overwriting the player00.chp file that's already there. Then from Single Player -> Player Setup -> Select Player it lists CLASS as the player.

This is with the GOG version of the game, not sure if other versions are different.

 

ummmm. i wonder why my PC is being so unhelpful
all good. thanks anyway Fantom_Circuit

 

Finally shifted back to the main rig to play this. Daddy's got some work to do.

I tried playing tonight but the game is broken for me. I get into a race but there is no sound and no inputs work. Trying to reinstall atm

 

Turns out a program I recently installed called EarTrumpet was responsible. Bizarre.

Anyway ive got some work to do!

 

Still not quite enough... Those are some good times JSmith

So I started on the Algeria course this afternoon, same 3 laps and daylight. First few times around 49s and 2:35 over the 3 laps, gradually got a few 47's and then a few more seconds off that again including what seemed like a good overall time;

Sorry guys I've been distracted by living out my overseas holiday dreams in flight simulator recently. I should put a few more times in before end of month though.

I need to get behind the steering wheel. But, you know, it's all the way over the other side of the room
Keep at it!

 

I just surprised myself... didn't think much below 45s would be possible on this track. Bloody ripper!

Was playing on the lappy without being plugged in... shut down literally just as I finished. Very lucky to be able to grab this screenshot.
