Newbie Chat Question

Hi all,

Another newbie question.  When I see chat from most people it shows up with
their name beside the text.  When I use the T key to open the chat and type
mine does not show up with my name next to it.  Does everyone else see my
name?  Or am I messing something up.  I usually only use auto chat, but some
guy kept asking me a question last night and I just needed to respond with a
"yes".

Hehe was really tough to do and keep control.  Still not sure how the rest
of you do this.

Since GPL, which N4 and NR2002 are based on, when you type something you see it, but everyone else
also sees your name on the front of it.

Wrong.... The game only shows your number and 2 letters, usually your initials when you actually type something..... IN the Player
section of the Game there are 10 autochats you can preset and put your name buy. Read the readme file and RTFM :-)  If you put a $
sign after each one it will post automaticly when you hit the key.... the ten autochats work off numbers 1 thru 10 on the numbers
across the top of the KB.

Actually you're wrong as well (or at least not completely correct).
Races hosted on Sierra.com preface incoming chat messages with the
person's car number and first 8 characters of the UserID.  Races not
hosted through Sierra.com will use the person's car number along with
their first and last initials.

initials when you actually type something.....
