Hello everybody,
There is a long time since I didn't work on a bike behavior since "Extreme Bike game". I have adapted it to a more realistic behavior on circuit.
I didn't put all the functionalities like the ragdoll but this is a good start (I think)
I will add some new functionnalities in a few days like the lap time, an highscore, a fall system etc...
Here is the link:

Enjoy and fell free to comment.
Best Regards,
Looks cool !
I like the fact that your turning radius depends on your speed.
But you definately need different reactions when driving on different surfaces, right now I can drive full speed over grass and gravel without any problem. As you say the fall-system is yet to be implemented, but a speed decrease would not be so hard to implement.
Oh yeah, I fell through the floor when I wanted to drive over the hill on the right at the start of the straight part.
this is how it look on my machine :
does I need a special computer for using the new web-player ?
I've put the new version on-line with a simple fall system (hiting walls) and with speed decrease on grass and gravel.
For your problem macro, maybe you can try to switch between directX and Opengl. Otherwise, it could be a problem with a buffer.
A new version is on-line with an advanced falling system, skidding etc...
The controls are:
-arrow keys to move.
- Z to lean forward
- S to lean backward
- C to change camera
- When you fall, espace to restart
- R to jump out of the bike (fall test)
Very nice, the surface interaction does a lot of good.
The framerate on my machine is great so the feeling of speed is pretty good. Eventyally something like motion blur could enhance it further.
Sometimes when I crash, the bike respawns in wheelie state.
And I feel sorry for the ragdoll, he's minced meat after falling off the bike, no joints left whatsoever.

Biking is dangerous 
By the way, I've put a new version with few correction of bugs in the behavior
I have also added a toggle key for the blooming (key B) for those who have a frame rate problem or like macro, a buffer problem
Speaking of bloom... your tire smoke is glowing because it is additively blended.
A blending factor of srcalpha - inv srcalpha would probably look better.

looks nice!, but **** it's hard to finish a lap without falling 
ps: when fallen, the R button is still active, causing some post mortal freaky behaviour on my deceased biker
A new version is on-line:
-better sounds, and sound control
-adding sounds effect: rumble, grass, gravel
-changing smoke blending (good eyes patrick)
-working on skid marks
edit: also added new cameras
I'm always pleased to see your comments,

it's realy so nice ... !!
i would like to create this kind of game but i did't know a lot of think in virtools.
how many times does it take for create a game like this for a beginer ?
have you got a tutorial or something esle who can help me ?
i'm able to use 3ds max for modeling and the animation.
thanks a lot
The biggest part in this game is the time to learn how to use and tweak the physic pack... After that there is not a lot of behavior...
Try to make a car game and when you understand how it works, you can try to make a motorbike
To mr27, sorry, I can't give you the F4 model

hello elpierrot, no problem I used another motorcycle. I wanted to ask how far can only curb the front wheel? braking divide between the two axes and uses two separate commands? thanks

Hi,
I'm really impressed of what you done.
I m making a car game for my study "projet de fin d'étude", and i m very interessed by how have you done the speedometer indicator.
How did you get the 3d model act like this?
i m trying things but the speedometer always goes mad and turn with no limits.
If you can help me trhough this...
A bientot!
Hi
Speedometer: take a bezier transform and transform the rpm in an angle, then, set the orientation (euler angle) of the 3d sprite.
This 3D Sprite is attached to the camera.
For the behavior, that's the knowledge of the physic car BB and of these array.
In which school are you study?

Hi, I' study at Isart digital in paris.
About the speedometer... thank you for your answer..
But can you be more precise? i still can't do it...
the 3d sprite turns with no limit :/
can you check it and tell me what s is wrong?

The best way to make it stop at a certain angle, is to use a Interpolator BB, where you put in the starting angle and the end angle. (see attachment)

Hi,
When you did your car or bike game,
You used BB Physics car right?
I did too,
Once it works

Other time i have bug,
Look the wheel !
[attachment=0:71ll90hc]cube et roues bug.JPG[/attachment:71ll90hc]
did you have the same problem?
How to solve it?
I have change the blue cube by a pink one.
moved the physics car BB script on the pink 3d object,
same for wheels in hierarchy manager.
but it doesnt want to work.
Thank you for your help
Hello Elpierrot, I am studying 3D technology and I am developing a test project but I do not have time to develop it in this mounth, I need to develop something like your motorcycle test beta project, adapting it, you could sell me it CMO project? you would help me ..
thanks for attention
best regards
J.Eduardo
