Bird’s Eye View
Bird's Eye View -
This view shows a 3D, perspective view of the track from
a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye
point moves to follow the boat.
When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird’s Eye View, the position of
the eye point will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so
that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the
RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right
or left, while pressing the UP arrow key moves the eye point forward, and
pressing the DOWN arrow key moves the eye point backward.
Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position behind
and above the boat.
You can use the INFO key to get information on the objects near the boat.
