Can I suggest Subversion. This is free software, and can be set up on a server accessed through a URL or FTP, as well as locally. A Windows frontend, like Tortoise which is also free, completes the setup. I started using this software at work, where it replaced PVCS which was getting expensive, and ...

This is the sort of thing that the Wiki would be brilliant for - we can all add our tidbits in the correct section - update them when we find something new, and it should all stay in a logical tutorial format, instead of bits and pieces spread all over the forums.

The final irony is that is not available when you are driving inside the car - sorry, cab. It is available in the cab view, but you have to press F3 again to get it.

I sometimes get a similar problem if I have moved points and end up with a face that is not 'flat'. I can usually get to select a face or an edge by viewing at a very acute angle, or sometimes from behind the face.

I think that the traffic is actually linked to the road pieces used. There are german specific road pieces that I believe, spawns german traffic driving on the right. It is probably specified in one of the xml files somewhere. Also, I think that traffic gets ditched first if the game engine is busy ...
