The following document contains all updated information, enhancements
etc for Spirit of Speed 1937. These enhancements are not present in
the manual as they are changes which took place after its printing.
Keyboard/peripheral Controls
The manual states that B is the key to brake the car. It is however
the Z key. However, you may now configure your own keyboard/peripheral
controls.
Display Configurator
The game will automatically run a display configurator when it is
first run. It will choose your best video device but this may be
changed by the user. To run the configurator again, simply select it
from the start menu.
Pit Stops
Work to take place at the pit stops is no longer carried out
automatically. The player may now choose which work should be carried
out (eg tyres, petrol) and press the relevant command key to action
this. The more work which the player has carried out on the car, the
longer the pit stop will last. Please note, the more wheelspin that
you use, the more tyre and oil wear your car will incur, leading to
more pit stops.
Brooklands
To make the game as realistic as possible, all cars now start from the
pit lane at Brooklands and must finish in the pit lane.
Pause
Escape will now pause the game, asking the player whether he/she would
like to Quit or Resume.
Changing from car to car in race
The Tab key may now be used to jump between cars durng a race.
Although it will not let you drive an AI car, you can watch it charge
around the track.
Viewable Distance
The Home and End keys will no longer change the viewable distance.
This may however be done by changing the level of detail in the
options screen.
F12
The F12 key will now allow the player to toggle his fuel/oil/tyre data
during a race.
