***IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS BUILD***

This is Version 2 Build 116 update to Comp3D software which adds the following fixes &  enhancements to prior builds:

  • This version is no longer is exclusive to Voodoo 3Dfx video card chipsets.  Most 16MB or higher video cards should run this software.  See our system requirements for more details.

  • Bar Graph SpinScan added: Split-screen view of the bar graph SpinScan available for both Riders - alternately.  The F3 key on the handlebar unit will bring up SpinScan.

  • Alphabetization of course files and saved performances.

  • Scenery Pack Selection added: The Painted Desert scenery is now part of this version.  A new button will appear in the Options screen to allow you to choose between the original Green Hills and the new Painted Desert scene.

v116 Known Issues:

  • This Version is Not Windows 2000/XP compatible!  Click here to upgrade to v3.0 which is Windows 2000/XP compatible

  • v116 and earlier has experienced communication problems with USB-to-Serial adapters.  So far the only adapter we found that works with v116 was made by Xircom. but no longer seems to be in production.

  • With some ATI Rage Mobility and 128 Pro video chipsets, there is a display that looks like lines of fog running horizontally across the screen.

  • Some Cyrix Processors have experienced problems running v116 or earlier.  There is a problem with the calculations done when the Computer contains a Cyrix CPU. There appear to be no fix for this we can accomplish and users of this type of PC will need to use a different PC or upgrade the CPU to either an Intel or AMD processor.

  • "Bike One Not Connected" message flashing on PC's with faster processors (i.e. 700+Mhz).  This will not effect performance, but can be annoying to watch.
