Thanks all for the ideas.
I’m still not really getting anywhere with this. Even at really slow
speed it just feels like I’m not really in control of what’s going on.
I was OK with top speed 3, the audio game, so I do get the idea of a
driving game and what I’m trying to do.
Maybe my PC just isn’t quite good enough to play this and there’s more
impact to performance than just really messed up graphics and it’s
impacting the game play.
Maybe this one’s just not for me.
Shame really.
Thanks for your kind comments on Park Boss Paul. One day I’d love to
get back to game dev, but just don’t have the time. I am starting to
wonder though if the days of audio specific games and small one-man
band developments like Park Boss and Tube Sim are numbered. For
example, I can’t imagine how an audio specific racing game developed
by a small group of devs would ever be able to be compared with
something like Forza. As a player this is probably a good thing, as a
dev it’s kind of sad. The next few years are going to be very
interesting as more mainstream games go accessible, but I do wonder if
this is going to be to the detriment of us more casual type gamers.
Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Nick,
I don’t know if you’ve already seen this, but someone else on the list
here posted a YouTube video called Forsa driving education for the
blind, I haven’t actually watched it myself, but I’ve seen other
people here and on the audio games forum say it was really helpful.
I’ll post the link to the video below, also really off topic, but I
picked up park boss the other day and I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed
the game it reminds me of playing theme park world before I lost my
sight, so just wanted to say thanks for the hard work you put into
making park boss, it’s a great game. anyway back on topic, the link to
the Forsa video is below, I’ve just picked up Forsa myself too, I haven’t
Started playing the game yet, but will probably give the video a watch
myself first too, but really looking forward to giving Forsa a play as
its been years since I’ve played one of these games.

Hi All.
As some of you may know I’m currently trying out Forza Motorsport and
I’m after a bit of driving advice.
I’ve been playing around with some of the driver assist settings and
what I’m finding is when I’m in control of the steering the car is
just all over the track.
I’m using an Xbox controller.
This evening I’ve done a series of experiments. I drove the same
circuit, with the same car and with different driver assist options.
If I put steering to full assist, breaking to ABS and throttle to no
assist, I could see progress in my ability to control the car. With
this set up I’m only concentrating on the acceleration and breaking as
I’m letting the assist do all the steering for me. after a few laps
there was a noticeable improvement in lap time and reduced crashes.
If I switch it round so breaking and throttle are on full assist and
steering partial then I’m all over the place.
It just feels like my car is all over the road, the race line engine
sound is going left and right with what feels like very little logic.
I thought maybe I was just making abrupt turns but even when I do it
gently the guide is left, then right, and just moving around all over.
So, the third experiment I did was to put steering assist to partial,
throttle to off and breaks to ABS.
I then attempted the same track very slowly, hardily touching the
accelerator. I assumed that doing it this way it would be really easy
to follow the race line. But even then the race line was all over the
place again and I was still crashing into stuff, going off the track
and all sorts.
I’m guessing I’m doing something wrong, but I can’t figure out what. I
guess I could just play with steering assist on full all the time, but
that really takes away a lot of the game.
Anyone got any ideas of what I can do to try to improve the ability to
steer?
Thanks.
Nick.
