Hi, I use a laptop with the touch-style mouse. This probably wouldn't be possible- so I'm considering buying a wireless keyboard and mouse (I need the keyboard anyway, for another game I play- my laptop has a very stupid numpad). I'm so used to typing on this thing, through, it might take a while to get used to those (for me at least) clunky huge keys! lol.
Anyway, I'm considering ordering rail racer, but I can't use paypal. Is there a way I could send a money order in or some such- like most games? ty - Tyler visit my website! http://www.valiant.789mb.com note: Make sure you have your speakers turned on to get a cool-sounding intro! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Che" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 12:57 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Some Rail Racer tips please. > I think the best thing to do is to make a simple track with just a couple > curves in it so you can practice taking curves, and pressing the D key in > the middle to see how close you are to the perfect lean. > It is also very important to move smoothly with your hand from 0 degrees > to max lean and back again, as the curve itself is a linear progression > from > zero to max and back to zero.
