Competition 2024 / Sector of the Year
December 24, 2024, 05:39:06 PM
Hi everyone.

We have had a season filled with creative and challenging tracks.
Thought I'd ask if anyone had any favourite specific areas/features of this year's tracks that they remember?

These are the ones that I find myself thinking back on, that gave me the greatest enjoyment, frustration and challenge during this season:

ZCT271 - Dopamine Pathways: the bridges
Twists and turns!

ZCT273 - Kelvin: a cork illusion (sign of things to come?) and fun routes across the grass. Which route to take??

ZCT276 - Bonkstad: r/l cork leaps
So many corks! So many leaps!

ZCT277 - SC2K: A fun skid over the tunnel (and at one point for me, driving flat along the tunnel wall on my side!), and a crazy 180 loop to finish!
(Not the last this year..)

ZCT280 - Marginal: Once we'd settled on the best route, there was a cool invisibridge and a fun loopcut on this challenging track.

ZCT281 - Eternal Wait: a field of r/l corks, u/d cork magic carpet, and a 180 loop jump to finish, but that  double-loop/half-pipe section was a season highlight. So many possible routes, this track was ace.

But special mention should go to:

ZCT274 - Mirage:
An illusory masterpiece, a trip into madness. Unforgettable, let's have another one like this next year!

Stunts Questions / Slow video mgmt
March 01, 2024, 09:37:42 PM
Hi all.
A fellow DOS Game Club member on our irc channel was asking about the "Slow video mgmt on/off" option. Found in Display Options > Change Graphics Level.
I know he runs real hardware (486?) but I'm not sure if he is running Stunts on it in this case.
What does this option do?

In other news, I just tried the game in low (FAST) Graphics mode for the first time  :o  ;D

Stunts Questions / Desert.esh
January 15, 2024, 09:17:38 AM
Hi folks,

When I try to load the ZCT270 track, I get an error message:

"desert.ESH FILE ERROR"

and Stunts quits to DOS.
Anyone else get this? Other maps work fine, this is the same 1.1 install I've always used.
