Stunts

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.

Selected resources and links

• Duplode’s Southern Cross site: a wide selection of mods, tools and custom cars.
• Erik Barros’ Megapack featuring 213 cars by various authors.
• Ryoma’s Cars: more than 140 vehicles aiming for maximum accuracy to their real-life counterparts.

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.
