8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 28 Dec 2004, 18:37

how many of you are using this 1.2 feature?
i tried and it was this: wierd.
maybe have to get used to it but dunno..

whats better for playin - normal or centered view?

kinghias · Post by **kinghias** » 28 Dec 2004, 18:48

i'm using normal view

imo it's better cause you can see more of where you're driving at, no need to see much of where you came from

I TOTALLY agree with rez. I've played it 95% of the time with centered, and it's better. You get dizzed by leftrightleftright

When you know a lvl you can use centered view because then you dont have to see whats sao far inf front of you, but normal view helps me know which way im heading, because i dont look at the bike i look at the vertexes thats coming up. And once when i tried center view i often turned everal times before getting that i had turned

centered view makes for smoother riding. personally i use center and 1024x768 with 1.6 zoom to make everything same size as normal elma, just higher graphic quality. the fact that you see a little less doesn't bother me at all, just check the map if you're playing a new level.

long haul ending is pretty hard with centered at first..
anyway, I switched to centered now and it's better. got 7 PRs after that

i haven't even noticed there is this option:)

I use centred, I hate the screen switching. I think I have it on 800 x 600, looks good

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 8 Jan 2005, 16:29

chux, use smaller pics

Normal of course!!!

800*600 zoom 1.0 center view, as close to perfection you can come

anything over 640*480 reduces Hz to teh maximus and decreases fps and smoothness performance like hell

I do 640*480, centered view (and no time option in gameplay): 760fps

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 15 Jun 2005, 11:43

watefak you need all that fps and smoothness for?

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 15 Jun 2005, 12:32

dumb question.

zworqy · Post by **zworqy** » 15 Jun 2005, 13:26

Well i bet most WRs are made with under 200 fps and 800x600 or something

I would like to be able to do that too. I just can't see enough with centered view if i have 640*480. I can see it isn't a problem when hoyling ie internals which you know, but it irritates the hell out of me when playing battles or just levs that i don't know 100%.
I would just do the oldschool 640*480 without centered view, but thats just not posible with a (/my) flatscreen. So now i have 800*600 centered view, with 666fps which is ok.

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 15 Jun 2005, 14:54

normal, i dont even have 1.2

800x600 i cant go any bigger

impasibel vsync OFF

my comp sucks for elma, basically

Post by **SveinR** » 15 Jun 2005, 16:08

I don't use 1.2, I don't even have it on the computer anywhere. Just default elma view =)

that doesn't allow you to see more, everything is just bigger

I don't use centered view.

I like feeling dizzy while playing some pipe levels..

Boomer · Post by **Boomer** » 16 Jun 2005, 08:47

I use 1.2 but not with centered wiev. I'm not used to it.

Post by **Abula** » 21 Jun 2005, 00:12

Jalli not using centered camera and thereby his head is moving like a tennis ball when he is turning in pipes.

Jazka · Post by **Jazka** » 21 Jun 2005, 19:05

I started to use centered view last weekend and I think it's much better...

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 21 Jun 2005, 22:14

I'm playing for quite long with centered now and it feels SO wierd when switching back..
