rFactor, is it just another F1C, GTR clone?

Thanks Steve - I'll look into that.

How do you crank them up in the demo? I'm having a blast with this demo, but
they are too slow. BTW I'm on advanced already.

It sounds good....but why oh why didn't they solve the stutter when
someone joins? I've a feeling the only netcode they rewrote was the
matchmaking part, not the actual racingcode. The other thing which
reminds me to the older ISI based games is the
practice/quilify/warmup/race setup.

Granted, you can tick some off if you're hosting, but so far I haven't
seen a way in game to set the amount of practice/qualify/warmup time,
or set the type of qualification. Somehow I've a feeling this part is
just the F1C part, since you're only allowed 12 laps....Maybe it's
different in the dedicated server, I didn't check that one out.


Cheers!

I joined in my first online session this morning before I had to go to
work, it was a small group and the wrong time of day to really test the
'stress' on the server, but with 10 or so AI and the other real guys
leaving and rejoining, I never had a hiccup.
If past experience holds, you should underestimate your connection. I
have Cable with 4000kbs down and 300+ upstream. I chose the 128kbs ISDN
setting. Smooth as silk. But again, not the most stressful test
conditions.

I'm surprised to hear someone that runs Rank say that - how will you
check peoples stuff with these sketchy replays - too the nearest second?

I couldn't change the view to other cars last I tried. It looks like the
only way to tell who's who is by the number on the car, colours, shapes, etc
LOL.

Type ISI_BABYFACTORY in the chat window and hit enter. Do it for each
series, and then you will have enough money to buy and fully upgrade all
cars.

You can do it by editing files, but you'll get a mismatch error if you race
online. Easier to just use the code anyway.
