POD Racing Demo v0.568


UPDATE 30 NOV 2014

- One more option ( key for third person view)
- Fixed minor bugs

Switch in third person view only since option menu.
Impossible to go back in first person view with my function. "Reset key" if you want to return in first person view.




UPDATE 29 NOV 2014

- Island's Mountains (little map adapted for IA)
- 4 IA (very easy, easy, hard and very hard)
- Joystick, Mouse and xbox 360 controller implemented (xbox 360 not tested)
- Physique hovercraft mode (4 forces below POD to control altitude)
- New physiques forces management (more easy with keyboard)
- Updated friction parameters (losing speed when you touch)
- Option Menu implemented (Pause, Resume Restart and Quit)

Tested with Windows PC, keyboard, mouse and Joystick.
By default, "A D" key, roll left and right. "W D" key for throttle and right mouse button for air brake.
(Ctrl key just after run .exe to configure commands and graphic qualities)

Maximum throttle and use the air brake to pass the slow turn.
After sometime of training, possible to pass all without air brake.
have fun 8-)

(thank you for your feedback)

So what key do I press to start a race? I can load fine into the part where I see the instructions, but I can't figure out how to actually start a race.

I also had trouble figuring out how to start a race, eventually stumbled on the idea that the game starts paused and so therefore "Resume" will start the race.

Race-starting troubles aside, this can be quite fun! The engine sound doesn't sit well with me and I ended up just racing in silence. I also had trouble making good racing lines using only the A and D keys, so I tried my 360 controller and it seems to work just fine (since the game says controller support is untested). You have both the throttle and turning mapped to a single thumbstick, so I don't know if that's ideal. In any case, that made a world of difference in control over the vehicle and I had some fun with that.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your tests and no problem to implement different axis for throttle and turning.
