diamond_ren 209 Posted March 13, 2014 I was just wondering if anyone could share any decent speedway games around for the PC? I don't know if anybody uses the www.speedwayplus.co.uk website much but I used to play a game on there a few years back called speedway meeting I personally used to like it but I got a new laptop sometime ago and tried to download it again but with little luck, Does anyone else know what im on about? does anyone know if it's actually been updated at all?

waiheke1 4,295 Posted March 14, 2014 Flying shale, available from roo games, is an excellent speedway simulation program, though doesnt have more recent seasons or heat formats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HenryW 1,178 Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) I used to have that yeah but don't think it works on windows 7 unless you know any different?It works fine on Windows 7 if run as an admin. I have never looked at why it requires elevated privileges, but will check that when I get a chance. Edit - In case you don't know, you can right click and select the option to run a program as an admin. 2nd Edit - Actually it seems that it only needs to run as Admin once. After that it runs fine with normal privileges. The creator of the game is on this forum, so he might know why it needs a first run elevated.

If you don't mind me asking how do you run it as an admin? I'm useless with computers to be honest lol, so if you could talk me through it I'd be very grateful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DIAMONDS 159 Posted March 17, 2014 EA should make a speedway game, I know it wouldn't be very good though because that's the EA way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andrewrunagall 35 Posted March 17, 2014 I was just wondering if anyone could share any decent speedway games around for the PC? To be honest with you, there are no decent Speedway games (well, not decent compared to what I usually play), but sometimes Currys/PC World sell the official FIM Speedway GP 4 game for 97p.

andrewrunagall 35 Posted March 17, 2014 Reading most of the Reviews - it looks pretty poor to me. It is pretty poor, but it's the only proper game out there. I was lucky enough to get it for 97p, but I have many other games to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
