But does anyone have a guide to the engine assembly and options?  There are too many options for trial and error.

Sorry, soop. I have the game but haven't really gotten into it (yet?). I find myself playing other games instead...

When you only have 6 other games, it does tend to be more prominent.

Ok, this is what I'm talking about;

I don't know what these bits do.  Surely there's gonna be stuff to make the bike faster or more competitive, but I have no idea what "low geard" or "hi geard" even means.

Yeah, but I know nothing about bikes, and I suspect it might just be made up.

I think it's a pretty cool game also.

The gearing effects acceleration and top speed.

Low gearing means better acceleration and bottom end torque at the sacrifice of top end torque and speed. A good setup for short courses with fewer straights and more corners.

Hi gearing gives you better top speed but weaker acceleration. Good for courses with long straights and gentle high speed corners.

AH!  Amazing! Ok that makes sense!  Can you tell me about the other settings?  I might stick this on when I get home!!!

Tire:

- Slick: Best grip in dry conditions, sucks balls in wet conditions.
- Intermediate: Good all-rounder, acceptable performance in both wet and dry conditions but it doesn't excel in either one.
- Rain: Best grip in wet conditions, sucks balls in dry conditions.

Mission (am guessing they mean transmission):

- Hi Geared: Higher top speed at the cost of acceleration.
- Normal: A balance between Low and Hi gearing.
- Low Geared: Great acceleration at the cost of top speed.

Suspension:

- Hard: Gives the bike a more nimble and responsive feel, provides less grip through a corner.
- Normal: A balance between Hard and Soft suspension.
- Soft: Provides for better grip around a corner but feels more sluggish, not as quick to respond.

Engine:

- Peekee (guessing they mean peaky): Faster/higher revving, provides for a higher top speed.
- Normal: A balance between Peekee and Wide.
- Wide: Slower revving and less top speed. Smoother delivery of power.

Brake:

- Hard: Quick, aggressive braking.
- Normal: A balance between Hard and Soft braking.
- Soft: Smoother more gradual braking.

Preferred setup will be dependent on the track in question and what feels right for you.

E.g. For a high speed track like Austria with long straights and gentle corners, a setup like this will provide the most benefit:

Tyre: Slick
Mission: Hi geared
Suspension: Hard
Engine: Peekee
Brake: Soft

Thanks so much for that!  You will have increased my enjoyment of this game twofold!   :-k  Actually make that 10.  Tenfold.

Yep, this is good enough to be a FAQ.  Maybe you could submit it to GameFAQS so others can find this information easier?

sure it's not the worst of all games (because there is no worst game on the pce), but there are also not much worser left /pcg2.png
