Ooh tell me about them please, all I know is that you can change the gears with the mouse and I find that pretty cool.
yeah all cars operate on manual transmission. holding down right click is equivalent of holding down the clutch while moving the stick shift in a real car.
There's gears 1-4, an "automatic" setting, and reverse.
list of cars fastest to slowest:
Turbo S - deja vu level stuff, really hard to control, 2 seats
Turbo - great for racing & getaways, kinda hard to handle, 2 seats
Beamer - medium-fast transport/getaway vehicle, easy to handle, 4 seats
Town Car - slower car, easiest to handle.
Limo - only obtainable through limo aquistions or killing AI, 4 seats, easy to handle
Van/minivan - slow, 6(?) seats, impossible to drift
its reallllly fun to drift in the Turbo & Beamer.
also, Cryptic Sea has also added a new vehicle in the latest alpha 26 update, which has very different handling. anyone who (already owns sub rosa) can 3 minutes in the new racing gamemode
gets a free sub rosa key. i managed to get myself to the top 10 list (listed as Misha), but im nowhere near beating 3 minutes.
the new traffic AI is REALLY hard to maneuver through, which bogs my time by ~30 seconds. ill try to stream or record my driving something, i'd hope to beat my record again.
