Strange problem on Reflex

[GHeTTo_RaceX]

Hi guys,

I'm experimenting a problem with a fresh install of Reflex on a new computer.

My notebook is running a Intel Core i5 3210M and Intel HD Graphics 4000. Not the best setup to run games but Reflex is running pretty good on it.

My problem is while in the air. The bike is always moving to the front (sorry I don't know the good english sentence to exprimate it). It feels as if i was using the brake in the air but I don't... Or it feels like the rider is leaning forward. The only way to keep the bike angle correctly is to stay full throttle and lean back.

I have this problem using the keyboard and also using an Xbox360 gamepad.

It really seems like a bug to me.

Does anyone ever had this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Ghetto_RaceX

Thank you for your help.

I tried this tips with no success.  Still the same problem

Crazy idea, but does it help when you unplug your mouse?

[GHeTTo_RaceX]

I'm using touchpad 

What is strange is that the rider isn't leaning forward while on ground but once I leave the ground immediatly he starts to lean forward.

I'm sure it isn't the way the game works because i played hundreds of hours on Xbox360 and on another PC.

Looks like I'm going to desinstall it.

Yeah that is VERY strange    Did you install the game from Steam, and let it update, or is it from a DVD?  Sounds like an issue with the game rather than your hardware, if it only happens in air, and not on the ground.  Only thing I can think of is to re-install... (Sorry, I'm stuck for ideas)

i don't have any ideas at the moment, but maybe more info would help, which OS are you using?

I'm going to to a reinstall this week-end to see if it fix the problem.

JamieT, I installed it from Steam
mcm2boys, I run Win 7 Pro x64

Thanks for you help guys 

PS: Yesterday I've reinstalled MVA and downloaded my tracks from mcmfactory for the fun ! That was really a good old time !

I'd like to find the time to convert one to Reflex.

Oh and do you know an alternative to Leveller? I don't want to spend 50$ as I don't know if I will have the motivation to make tracks for a long time

You can get by without leveller if the elevation changes aren't that great and you are good with working with displacements maps in Photo Shop/Paint Shop Pro/GIMP.  If you are comfortable with doing it that way then the need for Leveller or some other tool doesn't really come into play until you start to have stair steps when you bring it in to Digital Earthworks.

I created a tool to help smooth the displacement map and to save it in a format that Digital Earthworks will import.  It does what it needs to do, but I haven't revised it for a while.  It's written in a tool designed to make games and it doesn't have any normal windows GUI interface widgets, so you have to put up with the clunky interface.

the mxs in game editor is really good and I mainly use that now. but before that I used photoshop and I still use it sometimes. Jamie T uses 3ds max. pulse uses earth sculptor(I think its free)
I haven't used leveller but my tracks don't have a huge elevation change. also Bruce's tool works great at smoothing the terrain and I used this for most of my tracks made from photoshop.
but leveller is the only program that I know of that supports super hi res 24 bit (yellow/green looking) displacement maps.

Thank you guys for your tips !!

For the fun I downloaded the demo version of Mudbox and imported a never released track I made for MVA.

I think it looks great
