DO NOT WRITE PROTECT DISC #2 VIRTUAL KARTING THE MAIN MENU OPTIONS: View Mode (3D or 2D): You can also change this in game with the `F10` key. Gears Mode (manual or automatic): This can be changed in game with the `DEL` and `HELP` keys. VK TIP: Beginners - use the `automatic` option; it is much easier. Input Device (digital joystick (J), Mouse (M) or analogue joystick (A)) You can change this in game with the `J`, `M` or `A` keys. Note: Digital joystick is default. Confirm/Cancel: Confirms/Cancels the above settings (View, Gears, Input): Use = use selected options and DON`T save them to disk. Save = use selected options and save them to disk. Restore last saved = load last saved options and use them. Note: When you select `Save` VK also saves the current karts selection (100/125) AND the current track selection (1,2,3): THESE WILL THEN BE CHOSEN EVERY TIME YOU LOAD VK. Program Control: Demo = Runs the Virtual Karting demonstration Credits = Displays credits and greetings Exit = Quits Virtual Karting and returns to AmigaDos or Workbench. QUALIFY: Shows a panoramic view of the current track selection and the best qualifying time so far and then starts qualify/practice.

RACE: Shows a panoramic view of the current track and the best lap time and best race time before you embark upon THE ONLY DRIVING EXPERIENCE. The race lasts 5 laps. SELECT KART Here you can choose either a 100cc or 125cc Kart. Kart Specifications: 125cc 38HP motor 7 gears Auto or Mnaual Rotating disc intake valve No exhaust valve VK TIP: This is a `very` hard kart to drive with manual gears, and a difficult one with automatic gears. Beginners beware!! VK TIP: Although it is very fast, this kart has no useful torque under 8000 r.p.m 100cc 27HP Motor 6 gears Auto or Manual Reed valve intake system Exhaust valve VK TIP: This kart is very easy to drive - ideal for the VK beginner. SELECT TRACK: There are three tracks - `Beginner`, `Advanced` and `Expert`. VK TIP: This game is realistic, so don`t expect to pass all the karts easily. All the karts (including yours) have the same, identical performance. The difference is made by the driver (you or the 5 CPU`S) VK TIP: The game includes realistic wake routines. Thus when you follow a kart and you are near to it you have better aerodynamics and you can `easily` pass by, just like in real life.
