Puttin realizim in RaceWay is what is about.I have discuss this beore. During any Red Flag situations like bad weather conditions, a bad wreck, debris or oil from a spent engine. During a Red Flag once you have stopped your car, Race announcer can give you stats on the race. The number of laps completed, Race leader with an option to include the top five or top ten, average lap speed for race, insedrt in between what is happening to get race back going: like raining letting up a bit, track is almost cleared of debris. Long delay could report who had left the race and why, like Joe Blow, blew Engine, Fred "Goggles" Flintstone: Chipped Wheell. If was a wreak a report on drivers health. During any stoppage your Chew Chief can be giving you advice asking questions where you can nod your head saying Yes or No with the arrow keys.. So there would need to be two different quality of voices. ONe sounding like it is coming from a PA system and depending if you are listening to your Crew Chief through the car window where it may sound like he is shouting or off your helmet ear phone.
Sothere is enough here to keeps one interest, where the game is not just idle during race stoppage. Weather stoppage would be in rare. There has not been many races finished under rain fall, but it does happen. In fact this brings up a new subject for Raceway. The Rules of finishing races. Like many sims there should be options to choose from. My hope that Raceway is to be more of a sim then just a game. So, there could be a option on how races are finished. Through the years of Nascar there has been changes to the rule and can be made as an option. Many rules in the game could be options. ONe option could be the positioning of the racecars in the starting lineup. This may effect one placement in the lineup. ONe could have the fastest in front or in the rear. The Daytona race has a special way dong also. An option to set the number of cars that are in the race and Pit options. For instance say if you are not good pitting your racecar, the racer could put on auto pilot. But using this the driver may lose more time. That way the racer would need to learn to pit on their selves. This could be a beginner mode. OPtions for passinager mode where it would be full auto pilot mode, where it would be like riding shot gun. This feature could come in handy when the phone rings. Lastly a spectator mode where it would be like watching a race. Here you could then check the progress of the race by following the leader or other racecars. And here you could just sit back and hear either the announcer narrate the race or a test box displaying the action. For those who may not want to race but be the Pit Crew Chief would have a Crew Chief mode. Here you can manage your drive through a race. Letting the racer to drop to the bottom of the trace a oil slick is at the top of the track, a crash in turn four slow down and start charging the leader is behind you. Check the race car for gas, engine wear, handleing and ask your driver questions to make decisions. With these options and rules and more Raceway would become a sim then a game. IN way a sim is having a games inside a game. I have played many racing games that had to deal with Nascar and these are not new ideas. Since there is going be more delay for Raceway then lets not rush it out and put a package that is either a while system or one that will be upgradable. Certainly raceway should be a head to head sim someday and that also can be an option mode as well. Thanks to Tom, in letting all us know the situation of his games. He had kept us updated before aquiring North's games and now since there is more to report, Tom has done a good job in informing us on this list. There is only a few who do and we all enjoy reading about games even if its game development. Let the updates and ideas and help flow. Being bad, bood news even how to program a sould effect. This is the hub for blindgamers and no news and help would make this list more but banter. Raceway is one of the biggest reason I am on this list besides letting folks know what I am doing with Strat games. And soon there is going to be new on what I am doing. For now all I can tell you is that the audio instructions are going on to playball.ws in a matter of days. And once I have done this a voice forum will be next for playball.ws. I am testing the software on Shadowbeam.com right now. At this time you can check out the player that will be a part of my voice forum by giong to shadowbeam.com. Just remember that I am testing things out there. For a week or so I will not be touching the intro player player on the shadowbeam.com so you could go see the player and hear a intro music. Different version of Jaws will either put you right on the player or on the web page. I still need to revamp the web page to indicate my findings. ON the page is a link to the web recorder for the voice forum and this at the time is password protected. I will give out a guest password when I need beta testing. Hope you will want to test it out for me and give me feed back. I have been working with a company that wants to bring such players to the blind community. Which is a rear thing. So, once the Voice mail and voice forum is ready for playball it will help my dream of starting sport league games. So, for now the audio instructions to the baseball, football, hockey and basketball will be posted in a Strat O Matic Instructional Jukebox where you can listen to the file on the web or download the file. This Jukebox will be a little different then the playball's Radio Gallery Jukebox. It will allow you to listen to the file or save it, where the Radio Gallary will only play the radio show. The new jukebox will hoping have a slection to download the Baseball demo game and the different Jaws configs to the games. Footnote: The Basketball game has come along nicely to make accessible. A little more work on this game and its configs will be avilable. Crash If replying to any of my news please create new thread if you think others be interested otherwise ask me questions of list. To check out my sites go to: http://www.ablindsite.com My home page, where you can play Madlib http://www.playball.ws Having a ball! Page is currently being updated with Strat O Matic Jukebox http://www.shadowbeam.com Page underconstruction. Will be testing a live steam on Friday, so check the page for the Shadowcast link. Plan to stream a Doctor Who adventure. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Frahm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "gamers discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 03, 2006 11:12 PM Subject: [Audyssey] raceway > The time delay sounds like it'd be frustrating to me, I tend to be rather > impatient.
