So much Potential..I hope to see more! :)
This little toy is adorable and filled with so much potential, but is unfortunately very difficult to use.
You've got 3 camera options; two of which I could get to work, and the other is not very well explained in the notecard.
Option 1 is the standard "no cam", which seems to be the only 'smooth' viewing experience. Your cam stays with your avatar and you can control the RC car, but you're unable to look left or right without Ctrl/Alt camming (which resets the moment you press a movement key), which is a bit inconvenient, as this adorable little car can very quickly zip out of your view.
Option 2 is a cam that follows the car, but is unfortunately extremely jittery and shaky looking. Everyone else can see your car move smoothly, but you're unable to.
Option 3 is the overhead cam option that rezes as a small red box and this is about as much as I know about it. Toggling to cam button on the HUD doesn't seem to ever change to the view of the overhead camera, and the notecard doesn't really say anything more about this option. It says to rez it where you want it, but getting the camera to actually switch to that view is still a mystery to me.
The only other issue is more of an annoyance than a problem. The sound is very unfitting very a cute little RC car. It sounds like a big muscle car and the variation of sound is minimal. It's the same sound, looped, which wouldn't be bad if it had a more fitting sound.
All of this said, the charm this little car has, and the low price, has won me over far enough to still give it at least 4 stars. It's a toy that has loads of potential and is otherwise very cute and the little car itself is thoughtfully designed; a flexi antenna, moving wheels and bright lights. If improvements were made, I'd happily pay a few hundred lindens for it! It's a cute idea and deserves a new version! :)
