SV Racer -- Navigation |

Your ship has 3 radar views, top, side and back. Each view is helpful in different situations for orienting yourself and finding your next goal. To help understand the radar view, we use the first level as an example. This is the first view you have when starting the game: ![]() In this level, all the way gates are in front of you. The top view, from above your ship, gives you a clear view of the objectives on the level. Objects at the top of your radar are in front of you in the level. ![]() The side view is similar to the top view, except that objects in front of you extend towards the right side of the radar, and objects behind you extend to the left side. ![]() The rear view of your radar is most useful when you are lost or are trying to orient yourself towards a particular object. In this view, objects in front of you will be obscured by the profile of your own ship. Thus, it is relatively easy to make sure you orient yourself properly. ![]() Now, we move our ship away from the objective and look back towards the first goal. ![]() Again, from this position, the top view is useful for seeing an overview of the level. Now, a white line is clearly visible pointing from your ship towards the next objective in the level. ![]() ![]() ![]() Depending on the level and your position in the level, each view will offer different benefits. It is worth experimenting with the different views on the early levels so you can use them appropriately on later levels when it is more important. Hint: When navigating through a level, it is useful to brake and accelerate at the same time -- this is the quickest way to cut your momentum and moves towards a new target. |
