I'm in the level where you chase a guy all over many rooftops.I drift all over the place when floating,this is early in the game just after you come up out of the big hole.My character works ok in the normal run mode.sometimes the arrow keys make you go in the wrong direction also.Anyone else have this drifting and direction control problem?

this option isn't a perfect 'fly mode'. the game takes into consideration many things based on your location. in quick moving situations, this option would only help you so much. what i have found is that this is most useful for moving across and upwards, and not so much going down. also, large distances or trying to move quickly with this option is not it's intent. however, for maps like the HOLE you mentioned, this option is awesome. you can float to the various ledges and etc., without falling,etc.

the arrow keys move you the exact DIRECTION they say (NORTH, SOUTH, etc.) which has no bearing on the WASD keys or the current direction you are facing.

if you move/float into an area of the map not normally accessible then you run the risk of the game starting the death fall code which will send you in whatever direction you are moving with no hope of recovery. also, you will find that even though you move to buildings and structures, you cannot stand on many of them since you aren't supposed to be able to reach them (they aren't mapped for character movement), etc.

don't blame the trainer for this!

I was just making sure I didn't have a problem with my machine.You're correct on the hole expecially on the return going back up to the surface I just pushed the + key all the way to the top.I was hoping the noclip would work like many old games where you could hold any position on the screen at any level of height and go straight forward and backward.I can't keep up with the character long enough to finish the the level,With my Arthritis it's hard for me to do quick moves.Most of the games I've purchased your trainers have made it possible for me to finish them.I can't expect a trainer for every game to solve my limited Physical capabilities.I'll just wait for a saved game to get me past this section.Thanks for the many great trainers!
