JD MTF Roadster
===========
Version: 1.0

Racing in Second Life is fun, but not with the uncontrollable vehicles that bounce on and off the racetrack's wall.

The JD MTF Roadster, a racing car from the 1910s bring back the fun to racing with its reasonably fast, but tuned-to-SL engine (good but not out-of-this-world acceleration, top speed), following the beautiful designs of the Truck and the Vintage (Oldtimer) Car.

Features
======

* 30 prim PHYSICSAL race car (NOT a wearable!) for 2 persons (driver and passanger); recommended for race track usage!

* Copy enabled (you can buy it as gift on http://www.xstreetsl.com keyword: JD MTF Roadster)

* 3 gears automatic, max. 50+ mph (cc. 80 kmh), fun driving (incl. hand brake!)

* 10 tint presets for chassis and 6 forseats, CUSTOM tinting option(!), you can paint your car any tint you want

* Realistic sounds, noisy engine, custom animations for driver and passengers

* Horn, headlights that turn on/off for the night/day, double exhaust smoke, doors that open/close on touch

* Built-in speedometer (kmh/mph), mileage counter (kmp/mph)

* Unwanted passenger ejection (on channel 911)

* Hand brake... (mentioning it second time)

FAQ
===

Should I buy it?... questions:

Q: Is it a hard to control this thing?
A: It's easier than most cars in SL. However, for starters we recommend the JD MTF Truck or the JD MTF Vintage car.

Q: Is there an inworld demo for the car?
A: Usually there isn't, but we hold races from time to time where the entry is free and you get a car for the event. There you can practice and drive the car for as long as you wish.

Q: I want to set a high score/best lap on XY track. Should I buy this car?
A: Not really, because those scores are set with cars that we wouldn't at all recommend for driving (in Second Life).

Q: What is the fastest car in SL? Is a faster car better?
A: Probably a cube that has a script with a maximum speed set in it. So you can ask whether this cube is better than anything...

--

Q: The HUD text is covered by my name!
A: CTRL-P or Edit/Preferences, Hide my name on the screen is a setting that solves this problem.
Q: I can't seem to control this thing.
A: Practice a bit. Also, try to go slower or try to release the left/right arrow keys a bit sooner than the the turn.

Q: How does the hand brake work?
A: When turning, press (and possibly hold) the 'C' key. If you do it at high speed it's more fun, but the best use is probably to tap it once, lightly.

Q: When turning, the wheels don't turn too smooth.
A: This is because the only sane way to turn a prim is by a script function that has a built-in delay of 0.2 seconds. Lindens promised a similar function without delay coming in the near future.

Q: The front wheels sometimes spin a bit too much.
A: This is because of another SL function that renders the spinning client side.

This is actually a pretty gorgeous car, all the color options look great and it's wonderfully photogenic! Driving isn't that bad either in the scheme of things, I have driven smoother cars but none that looked as good as this, or had such a great vintage vibe! Highly recommended vehicle.
