Now at VROC: GPL 1.1 FAQ, core.ini, NEW applet!

To support the GPL 1.1 patch, VROC has released a new, hugely improved
Java applet.  Today we also posted a FAQ for GPL 1.1, and a copy of
Alison's core.ini.

The new VROC applet is compatible with both Netscape and Internet
Explorer.  It takes advantage of many of the new features in GPL 1.1.  

The new applet makes it easy for the host to restrict clients to a
single class or a range of classes (i.e. F2 and F3 only) and/or a single
car type.  This makes it easy to host, for example, a one-make race for
F2 Brabhams.

When you host or join through VROC 2, GPL launches more quickly,
bypassing some nonessential screens.

VROC 2 was upgraded a few minutes ago to show *all* GPL 1.1 races hosted
on VROC, including those hosted through the existing GPL Spy Boy and the
original VROC applet.  This means VROC 2 will give you the most complete
list of GPL 1.1 races possible.

Another enhancement in the VROC 2 applet allows the user to make the
race list display all races, or only races which are available for
joining, or only public (non-passworded) races.  

Also included in VROC 2 is support for a number of advanced hosting
options.  Advanced hosting features include remote control of GPL 1.1
servers, unattended hosting by cycling through a script of races,
listing of races launched GPL 1.1 outside of VROC, and support for
operation of multiple GPL 1.1 servers behind a gateway or firewall.

VROC's new GPL 1.1 FAQ addresses many of the most common questions which
have surfaced since the release of the patch yesterday.  Alison's
core.ini provides a convenient, practical baseline for the typical user.

Please go to the new VROC site at http://www.racesimcentral.net/ and explore the wealth
of new material there.  Be sure to try out the terrific new VROC 2
applet!

The link to your core.ini file is broken...too bad as I really want to see
what FFB settings you are using.  I am having a tough time finding a balance
that feels smooth without jerkiness or what I guess is spiking.  I haven't
felt that in any other FFB applications, but spiking is a good description
of what it feels like.

You can get to Alison's new core.ini through the old gamestats.com URL try:
http://gpl.gamestats.com/download/ali-core.ini

Working good for me so far, but it doesn't look like Alison is using FF at
least from that core.ini.

Seeyas on the track.

Is there some way of disabling this so we can select particular drivers?
I tried joining some F3 races yesterday, but it always selected my F1
driver with an F3 car. I would use GSB2 to join, but it doesn't allow
me to join races at the moment.

Yes. I have different drivers setup for F1, F2 and F3. However, I could
find no way of selecting the driver when joining via VROC 2.

This is possible in GSB2 Beta, but I cannot as yet join races using GSB2
