SLEW Mode: (a sub-mode of GOLD, accessed via "CTRL-Y")

Slew mode allows you to "pause" the action and then move and rotate your truck in all directions, this is very useful for quickly moving around and for setting up screenshots.

The following key functions are active only after pressing Ctrl-Y

 Active Keys        Action
 -----------        ------
 ARROW KEYS         - Move truck forward, back, left and right.  
 Q and A            - Move truck up and down.  
 SHIFT              - Speed movement with Q, A and Arrows.
 END and PAGE DOWN  - Steer or 'point' truck.
 Numpad + and -     - Rotate camera vertically (in chase views).  
 INS and DEL        - Rotate camera horizontally (in chase views).  
 HOME and PAGE UP   - Rotate truck side to side.  
 F5 and F8          - Rotate truck end over end.  
 4  (not numpad)    - Write consecutive screenshots to disk.

 Z                  - Enables "Z" mode (the functions of which
                      are listed below) and displays technical
                      information such as the framerate and the
                      number of visible polygons.

Z Mode: (a sub-mode of SLEW, accessed via "Z")

Note: although SLEW mode is required to first access Z mode, once Z mode is active you can back out of SLEW mode and continue to access Z mode features.

 Active Keys      Action
 -----------      ------
  - and +         - (top of keyboard) Zooms camera in and out.
                    Magnification ranges from .5 through 16 to 1
                    and works in all camera views.

  Ctrl-4          - The blimp cam and race cam views in 'Z' mode are
    and             very different from the standard ones, the cameras
  Ctrl-5            are much farther away from the trucks and provide
                    a very unique and distant perspective.

  Ctrl-L          - Load a .SIT file (another track). After pressing Ctrl-L
                    type the full name of the .SIT file you wish to load,
                    then press Enter to continue or ESC to cancel.

By making careful use of SLEW and Z mode it is possible to get screenshots of tracks and trucks from almost any conceivable angle. You can rotate and zoom the camera to achieve any angle or lighting condition you could possibly want. Track and truck makers would do well to learn what is possible in these modes.

Although the slew mode keys may seem awkward at first they are easy to adjust to if you have the usual number of hands and fingers. Mostly useful for placing your truck wherever you want to, slew mode also makes it possible to literally "fly" a truck around a track in a very fluid manner, providing some interesting and entertaining track exploration. Here's a good technique for flying a truck around like an attack helicopter: place the index finger of your right hand on the UP ARROW for forward momentum while at the same time using your next two fingers on END and PAGE DOWN for 'steering', use your left hand to press Q and A for up and down movement and SHIFT for hyper-speed.

Slew mode screenshots - after Ctrl-Y is pressed you can position your truck to any viewpoint you wish and then press "4" (at the top of the keyboard) to write screenshots to disk, the "4" key is active only during the "paused" state. The screenshots will be consecutively named. Please note that shots taken during each session will overwrite ones taken previously, so be sure to gather the ones you want to keep and move them elsewhere before going back in for more. Please see the information posted HERE for complete information on dealing with these RAW screenshots.
