Stop flapping when the speedo gets in to the yellow.

thanks APB_4, but it didn't help... did you pass Bumpy ride????

Ye I've passed Bumpy Ride. I didn't jump at all though I just let it go over the ramps, didn't break and once the yellow started lighting up stopped flapping. It should go up into the red by the end. I get a fair bit over 100k and I've done it in about 28 and a half seconds.

I do as you say but i can't go faster then 32s... 3.5sec is quite a lot of time and since i do not brake and have a quite smoothly trajectory, i think that i'm doing something principally wrong... still can't understand what is it...
thx!

What kind of speed are you getting to by the finish?

bdox · 05-14-2005, 10:11 AM

at the finish 81 - 83

bdox · 05-14-2005, 10:19 AM

I got!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when you said: " once the yellow started lighting up stopped flapping"

I misunderstood it as i thought by "flap" you meant use the "E" wich gives little jumps when in flat surface...

Thanks lot APB_4!!!!! now i'll play a couple of time and let you know about my recrod!!!

bdox · 05-14-2005, 10:20 AM

passed in 27.41!!!!

that was 4.2 sec faster!!! awesome!! =)

bdox · 05-14-2005, 10:32 AM

did it even faster!!!! 27.09!!! =)

but now it looks like the other cups are not available... there're a lot of "tracks" but only for practice... =/

Excellent! nice one. I thinl that's it the game is unfinished. There was a release a while ago for winblows with other stuff but I don't think that was made open source and nothing seems to have happened for ages the last things happening on the sourceforge page seem to be from 2001!

bdox · 05-15-2005, 07:56 PM

that's really sad...
this game has excellent graphics n physics...

I think it could be an excellent base for other games, like cars or moto-bikes... that'd be very cool...

Take a look on linux game tome (www.happypenguin.com) and find PPRacer, it's based off the GPL sources from tux tracer.
