POD Rating & Multiplay problem

Hello All.
I have been playing POD for a week now and Enjoy it for the most part.
Im running a P-166, Rendition card, and a Monster 3D. Smooth as silk!!
Awesome
Graphics, With the 3DFX anyway.
Saw Just the MMX version in the store, Looked like regular SVGA to me.
MMX seems to be a real nice gimmick for Intel. IMO.
Anyway the cars could handle much better, In terms of realism but it is a
Arcade
Game. Still kind of crappy though.
A***pit would of been nice.
Cannot get my CH Foot pedals to work with my T1 or Virtual Pilot.
The music is always the same and there is no option to change it.
AAAHHHH!!!!!
I cannot seem to kill myself of other cars no matter how hard I try.
The damage Indicator seems to do nothing as I get it all in the Red and I
still race the same and never die. Indestructable cars it would seem.
SUCKS!!
The AI is real stupid.
But the worst thing is the SHITTY multiplay!!
Hooked up to a friend in modem mode really sucked. All the other cars seem
to just JERK around the track, Appear and disappear. You can not line up a
car to hit him cause he is there one second, and Jerked, Chopped off the
next!!
Really sucks bad. The worst.

SO UBISOFT, You got almost a Compete winner here, Are you going to fix the
game
up some or pull a Microprose?
Your "Precalculated position engineering" Seems to make Latency worse.

Now that you mention them.....your points are all valid....
a gorgeous game for the eyes but other than racing against
ghosts, the multicar races are lame to say the least....
