Stunts

3 min read Original article ↗

This page contains selected resources for Stunts (aka 4D Sports Driving), made by me and other fans.

Note that most of the download links provide only the game executable; to run them one needs the full game. This was declared freeware by the original developers, and can be obtained in the download section of the Stunts Wiki.



SuperSight

A mod offering various improvements over the vanilla game experience:

  • Increase the field of view, drawing more objects and in better detail.
  • Extend the camera positioning, allowing better granularity and unrestrained distance and altitude.
  • F5 turns on/off statistics about 3D engine and camera.
  • F6 turns on/off the visibility of illusion tiles.
  • Fix a bug where some custom cars, when crashing, would show the explosion effect in the wrong position.

Note: the default is PC speaker audio. Run with /ssb for AdLib / Sound Blaster, /smt for MT32, /std for Tandy, or /ns to disable sound.
