Starland Interface - Driving Your Starland Vehicle
QUICK START
Our vehicles have a lot of features that might not be directly visible but we know many of you want to just get in and drive. The basics are pretty much the same as most cars. WASD or arrows for direction and PGUp and PGDown to shift. If you use our HUD, all the important features will be right at the tip of your mouse. So here is the quick start method for the learn as you go drivers:
- Wear the Starland Driver HUD by adding from inventory.
- Rez your car. Wait until the boot sequence of the car completes. This might take up to 10 seconds depending on lag conditions.
- Sit in the drivers seat. Wait for the HUD to connect. Usually 1-2 seconds.
- Press the Start button. Its the power symbol on the bottom center of the HUD.
- Hit PgUp to shift to first gear.
- Start driving!
TIP FOR MOUSELOOK DRIVERS: When driving in mouselook, if you need to access the HUD, or any of the dash controls, hold down the alt key. This temporarily allows you to move and click the mouse to access normal parts of the interface. If the car is moving, be sure cruise control is engaged otherwise the car will slow to a stop.
STARLAND HUD
The Starland Driver HUD is included with all Generation 2 Starland vehicles. The same HUD may be used across all cars that have been sold or upgraded to Generation 2. For Generation 1 cars, please use the HUD that came with the car.
The HUD retrieves information from the car for it’s settings, so the same instance of the HUD can be used for any compatible vehicle.
The HUD is also transferable to allow guest drivers to benefit from the HUD.
Special Functions
The buttons in this area will vary based on the model vehicle in use. These will be related to special features of the particular model. Consult the user guide for your car for specific details.
