- 2. Display Settings
-
- When you start Plane Crazy, you will be confronted by a display settings dialog. This
- lets you choose which video card you want the game to use (if you have more than one),
- how to draw the graphics (called the 'renderer' type) and which screen resolution to
- run the game at. Plane Crazy tries to automatically default to the best settings for
- your machine, so you may find that simply hitting the start button will be enough to
- get the game started in most circumstances.
-
- To use the dialog to change these defaults, proceed as follows:
-
- i) Start at the top list box, 'Display To Use' and pick the video card you wish to use.
- Your main video card will be called the 'Primary Display Adapter'. If you have any extra
- 3D cards, such as a 3Dfx Voodoo, they will appear in this list and you can choose them
- if you wish.
-
- ii) Go to the 'Renderer' list box. This is where you decide how you want the game to draw
- graphics on the chosen card. You may notice that the options available here depend on
- which display you have selected. This is because Plane Crazy only makes available renderers
- that it thinks will work on any given display.
-
- Generally, you will only have two choices:
-
- a) 'Microsoft Direct3D Hardware Acceleration" which tells the game to use your
- 3D card (if you have one)
- b) "Fearsome Software Rasteriser" which tells the game to use Inner Working's
- own 3D engine to do all the drawing - this will be the only option available if you
- don't have a 3D card.
-
- iii) Go to the 'Screen Resolution' list box and choose the resolution you want to run
- the game at. The game will select a reasonable default resolution based on the display
- and renderer selected, so you can generally leave this alone. The game will normally
- run faster at lower resolutions, so if you are struggling for speed on your machine,
- try reducing the resolution to improve this.

- 4. About Plane Crazy
-
- Plane Crazy is a 3D flying racing game that takes the freedom of stunt flying and combines
- it with the thrill of high-speed racing. Players take their planes, and with the option
- to tune performance during The Championship, compete against human flyers and the Crazy Aces
- to win and achieve the best race time.
-
- Interaction with other flyers is a key element to the game. Once airborne the objective is
- to get through each checkpoint and ultimately achieve the best time over the race . Not
- only can players be jostled for airspace by the opposition, but also by collecting power-ups
- distributed throughout the course they can gain advantage over the opposition. Power-ups can
- be fired at the planes in front (e.g. Extreme Slow) or used by the player (e.g. Nitro Speed
- Burst). Plane Crazy also gives the player the option to fire on the landscape with sonic
- shells to discover shortcuts in each race. This can have the dramatic effect of providing
- obstacles for planes flying behind and so can add to a playerÆs strategy for winning the
- race.
