But, but! The Russians certainly had a time machine or something :D They made the CD cover image in Real-Life racing style! (what Citywalker pioneered way later with her "RL style" parameters). Haha :) Greetz, Ato

Pod Racer
Misc. Car

Thursday, 20th November 2025

I recently revisited Mr Roblinx's SWR tracks again (Zugga Challenge this time), and if you put them together with the Pod Racer here, it's like an entirely different game inside RVGL. I just had to make a video of it, too: https://youtu.be/slWaS3dULsE Greetz, Ato

OMG this is *long* ! 10 minutes with Evil Weasel. But amazingly, it didn't feel repetitive, and just as amazingly, the raceline was intuitive to follow almost everywhere (even in rooms full of desks and chairs). There was maybe two places where I got lost for a moment, but even there it was quickly apparent where to go. Kudos, kudos, kudos! Greetz, Ato.

And more: nice touch with the crystal ambient sound! Ato.

Frozen Caverns
Standard Track

Sunday, 14th September 2025

This goes for both Molten Caverns and Frozen Caverns: These are incidentally a pair of the most difficult tracks to race with hood cam – all the lava pits and cliff sides appear without warning, just like in real life. From the ground, you never know what’s behind the next bump in the road – more road or no road! :) Kudos, Ato.

Phantasiabyssal Turbulence
Sprint Track

Tuesday, 24th June 2025

Wow, very nice ambience (both looks and sounds)! At one point, I thought I had left YouTube playing in the background, because I sometimes listen to this kind of music :) Both ends of the track are wonderfully realised, especially the spinning phantasm at the end. Kudoz, Ato

Spa-Volt 2
Standard Track

Sunday, 15th June 2025

Is it just me, or does anyone else have the problem of Spa-Volt 2 .lit file taking forever to load (ca 2 minutes)? It does give great interplay of shadows and light, but 2 minutes to load? Please tell me it’s my machine and not a general issue. Ato

Yes, it does get a bit too fast. RVGL's physics have no sanity checks (literally, you can add any number, even a negative value for any of the parameters, and the game tries to run with it - I've seen car wheels literally fly off the car, which shouldn't even be supported by programming...), but it has some internal limitations stemming from the programming procedures used. One of them has the result that air speed and ground speed are governed by the same capping parameter, but air friction and ground friction are different, so I can't make the speeds equal - normal top air speed means slow top ground speed, and normal top ground speed means excessive top air speed. Interestingly, in pre-RVGL Re-Volt (the original, and the V1.2) it was possible to adjust the air top speed separately from the ground top speed, by changing the car’s Mass, but this parameter’s handling was changed in RVGL (UFO type in parameters (set by Flying TRUE, originally set by Class 2) now automatically means Mass is defaulted to 1.0 regardless of what the parameters say (probably because it was easier for Huki to program it this way, he wanted a sure way to ensure all Flying TRUE cars will fly and not drop to ground due to high Mass)), so now it's impossible to fine-tune the flight speed separately. (How do I know from so far back? I studied Citywalker’s legacy notes. Extensively.) So, the bottom line is - keep the air speed down, Ace, you're flying right now! Greetz, Ato

А мягкий знак какой был бы, как автомобиль? :) (Hm, the system doesn't allow me to comment with just two Latin alphabet words, hence these parentheses...) Greetz, Ato

Additional fun quirk: some of the more stable cars can easily(ish) complete a race with just one button: hold the throttle and the walls will steer the car :) Greetz, Ato.
