Just D/L'd the demo - Is it just me or does the steering of this this tank take some special commands? 1) E = start engine 2) UP ARROW = throttle to half 3) B = release brake 4) A = change gear (have to be in 2nd gear to move[?]) 5) a) Press left arrow = nothing happens Release left arrow = tank jolts to right and stops turn (ok but no real control of steering) c) Press right arrow = nothing happens d) Release right arrow = tank jolts to left and stops turn (ok but no real control of steering) e) Travelling straight now in 4th gear...PRESS RIGHT OR LEFT ARROW = NOTHING HAPPENS! RELEASE RIGHT OR LEFT ARROW = NOTHING HAPPENS!! MULTIPLE RESTARTS BUT STILL CANNOT STEER TANK. So - before I uninstall this demo I would love to know how you folks are steering the tank so I can at least see the potential of the graphics. I have a good vid card so I really wanted to check this out. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Keep the E button pressed until the engine actually starts. Martin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spybaz Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks, Moon. I got that far already I figured it out though. I didn't realize that this game utilized a joystick. My joystick was plugged into my PC but thrown in a corner with the stick at an angle. This was causing an override of the keyboard commands. I am using the joystick and can now drive That said - while appreciate the ability to play demos for free I feel that this game (sim?) is a complete waste of time. While the driving feels somewhat like what I would believe to be drivng a heavy, tracked vehicle to be like, the terrain could not be more boring even with the graphics cranked to the max. I have a great frame rate but the game engine is diabolical (IMO). You would think that for such a slooooow paced game that the graphis would be awesome but alas, IMHO, they are a joke. Look at Joint Ops or Battlefield 2 or Far Cry terrain and then take a look at the scenery on the 'driving' mission on the demo. I just had to laugh and then remove this [insert negative description of this game] from my PC. That said - I realize it is a demo and that the full game may have potential but is the purpose of a demo not to show a games capabilities? I am going to post my opinion as a seperate thread to see if anyone else concurs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi68 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 The graphics in the full game arnt much better than the Demo. And if you fire the main gun on dirt it takes about 5 to 6 seconds to clear which really sucks if your trying to see where your shot lands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis50 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I guess in real combat they turned the "dirt option" off. Regards, Gunz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
