First of all, I'm really happy that this project exists, and I truly appreciate all the work that has gone into it!

I'm a bit disappointed by how negative this thread has been almost from the beginning. This isn't really representative of the ZakStunts community, which is generally a friendly and supportive place.

We've never had the opportunity to compete in NoRH with such a high level of verification before, and I think that's something worth appreciating.

That said, I do think the Default highscore wipe could have been handled a bit more professionally, for example by preserving the replays that didn't involve shortcuts.

Anyway, see you on the track!

Would it be possible to add a live countdown timer for the Quiet Replays reveal?

Since everyone is in different time zones, it would make it easier to know exactly when the reveal happens. For many of us in Europe, the reveal is in the middle of the night, so I'd also suggest having it automatically trigger 5 minutes after the scheduled time instead of requiring an admin to manually press a button. This would make things easier for the admins as well.

The idea of motivating riders to join teams is good, but counting all riders would favor larger teams. Since teams can currently have 2–4 riders, I think keeping the top two scores would make the competition more balanced.

Love the card view instead of list. I played with Gimp and tried one variant quick and came up with this using 4 divs instead of 3.

Now sold 

Ah, that's a shame. I really thought I'd found something new there.

While searching old DOS/BBS archives for the Skid Marks preview, I found "STUNTS1.ZIP" on the Night Owl PDSI-006 collection.

It contains custom Stunts tracks, high scores and a replay, made by Steve Rolfe and Jeff Renaud, Nov. 24, 1991.

The included text file says:

Here is a selection of our favourite tracks for the best of all current driving simulators, STUNTS.

Make sure you check out the incredible high-altitude crash in the replay file for G!!!!!!!...

To use the files, simply copy them into your STUNTS game directory. To erase our high scores, simply erase the .HIG files for each track.

Hope you have as much fun driving on them as we had inventing them.

I couldn't open the replay with my version of Stunts though. Maybe it was made with a different version?

Not Skid Marks, but still a pretty cool Stunts find from 1991.

Found a French Skid Marks article.

I'd vote for the Isdera Commendatore, since it's a relatively new car in the game. I'm also curious about the Ford Ranger, which has been featured in many seasons, but hasn't appeared for quite a while now.



The rules can remain unchanged.

Wow, a wild JTK appears! I still remember when I sent replays by email to you guys in the late 90's...

Sorry for the necropost, but I found some interesting ebay stuff...

This is a "Review Copy" edition. It is almost identical to the retail release...

I was wondering if the floppy disks have any differences compared to the original version.

I strongly doubt the track owner intentionally designed it to allow driving backward. Erik has tried to carefully balance the two main routes with DWS in mind, but this loophole ruins the race, it should be banned.

I think we should add a special rule for this track and case closed.

I thought it was already at max 90dgr angle. I don't see a problem with this.
Honestly, having a free-roaming camera not attached to car would be great, and being able to zoom out more would be cool too.

The dashboard is badass! Love the chrome rings around the gauges.
