    The second release of my zzzTools series.
    Use this level to test and optimize the top-speed of cars.

    Some people use tc6 by "The Me and Me" to test the topspeed of their cars, but I've decided to make a better track for the same purpose. This version has some handy features:

    Features:

    • Easy to find by typing in "zzz" in the track selection screen, or just scroll one track left when having selected Toys in the Hood 1.
    • Can be used in Singleplayer, Timetrial, as well Training mode.
    • Sprint track (no laps)
    • Exactly 400m long
    • 100% flat track surface
    • 100% straight
    • 2 Split-Times for comparing with other cars
    • Stock-like appearance; based on Toys in the Hood 1

      

    Only tested with RVGL Version 23.0602a1
      

    How to use this level:

    • Use this level to find out the topspeed of your car by using Timetrial or Training mode: Just accelerate your car without steering, and wait until the car has reached the maximum speed. Use the mph-value for your cars readme or for the RVW-upload.
       
    • Use this level to compare your cars topspeed with other cars from the same class:
        
      • 1. Start a Singleplayer race, and just accelerate till you reached the finishline. Maybe do some small steering corrections to avoid collisions with the AI-cars. Have a look how your car behaves compared to the AI cars and adjust the parameters until you are satisfied with the results. It's suggested to use a low amount of opponents (1-7).
         
      • 2. Use the Timetrial-mode and compare the total times with other cars. Adjust your cars parameters until you are satisfied with the results.

  1. The Launcher on Windows also automatically lower-cases everything upon download, so there’s that. Glad it got promptly fixed though :)

  2. I use Linux and I always do a fix_cases on all my Re-Volt downloads before pasting them to my game folder, so the best way to do full Linux compatibility and avoid problems with various downloads is to always have all file names in lowercase.

  3. Thanks for the error report. I’ve uploaded a corrected version which should work now also on Linux without any issues.

  4. Hi.
    If you are a Linux user, be prepared for your cars to fall down. To solve this, you need to go to /levels/zzzSpeedtest and change the zzzspeedtest.ncp file to zzzSpeedtest.ncp.
