Many drivers do go to the trouble of raising their arms to wave a behind
driver past without contest, or to indicate some kind of caution, but many
other drivers have their own virtual arms & wheel turned off as they find
them distracting. The problem is that the two elements are tied together in
GPL. Once you turn your own arms off you cant see anyone else's arms either.

If the two could be untied, so that you could turn your own arms off, but
still be able raise your own arm ( all-be-it unseen ) and still see the
raised arms of other drivers then that may be a useful aid for online
racing.

Truthfully, if you still need to turn off the arms to make GPL run
effectively on your system, you've got way bigger problems

   I've found it's not the system problems that cause most drivers to turn
off the arms, but USER problems.  They look at their wheel for some reason
instead of the screen.  
  Interesting concept though..he nobly seeks to improve the racing
experience of others, but all the while not inconviencing himself.

And your point is? Did you read the above post? Re-read it, properly,
please!

It's amazing how many times someone states something clearly... i.e.
"> > other drivers have their own virtual arms & wheel turned off as they
find

Yet people STILL manage to misinterpret it.

I suppose expecting people to read a post before replying to it is too much
to ask ! ;-)

  We are BUSY people Richard,  BUSY BUSY BUSY!  Yes sometimes we do
misread stuff, sometimes we do rush through things, sometimes we just
don't understand the question.    
  BUT!

   That NEVER stopped me from giving what "I" think should be the proper
answer anyhow.  :)    As 'they' say...Free advice is only worth what you
paid for it.

Actually I wish somebody would reverse engineer the code that the
server uses to assign car numbers.  If we had predictible car numbers
you could have a car set for each league so you could recognize each
other.

I've been told it was impossible but that's what I heard about the F65
mod too... ;)

Jeez, that's harsh.  He had a point...
