NEW DEMO #2
OK - new demo up (DAMAGE_2.ZIP) at the same place http://www.jameskett.dsl.pipex.com/
It's now joystick or wheel only, and the car is much more stable than before. I've been blasting around the track and it's pretty easy to lap now under normal power, although it gets harder if you try to use the boost to get a faster laptime, which is the sort of gameplay balance I was after.
I've also added a ground plane for no good reason other than it adds a bit of perspective to the visuals.
The motion blur under boost has been turned down a bit so you can still see where you're going.
Currently you will have lost the in-air balance control that was there before, so I suggest you lift slightly at the crest of jumps to prevent the nose diving down. Once you get the hang of it you can pull off a pretty flat jump.
Please have a look and let me know if you can control it OK.
