Steering with Keyboard is not acceptable

AMC Racing · 02-06-2003, 08:14 AM

In the past, i developed a lot of skins for CMR2 and played CMR1
and CMR2 all with keyboard - everything works fine - but
the CMR3-demo is disappointing.

The physics looks a little better on tarmac, but on
gravel it is very poor. It seems to be optimized for
consoles - so no chance with keyboard.

I mean the car reacts to extrem on one impulse - the result is an
extrem oversteering with make the car undriveable - is
anybody out there who make the same experience?

Yes, I think most racing games suck using keyboard, but I've seen better ones than this. As you say, too sensitive.

Most, but not all. Racing Championchip (RS2, its a F1 Game) had the best physiks and the best support for keyboard and Wheel Players... just great !

Yeah, the car behaves like it steered with rear axle.

Well, I think that the handling is quite ok. You just have to be careful with throttle. If you want to drive on full throttle all the time - pick Need for speed III !

))) With demo I found 2 things (in terms of driving) that I don`t like .
1. Breaking - its absolutely unreal . The wheels just don`t lock if you hit the breaks at high speed. But if you are driving slowly and brake - the car stops maybe a little bit too fast. it looks like this - you drive very fast, you brake, the speed changes slowly and when it reaches about 60 km/h the car stops very fast.
2. The way car behaves on tarmac. You can easily take corners marked as 3 and 4 with 6 gear and without breaking. It seems that the car is on the rails.
