Why can my buddy only see 12 cars ahead when he connect to me for a race, I
can see all 42. It was the same way in NR2002. It is just the 2 of us.

In MP mode you can't see all the cars ahead behind due to bandwidth limitations.  If you are
connecting across a LAN, there is a setting in the core.ini file to show all cars as bandwidth
should not be an issue on a LAN.

he needs to go to options and up the limit on his
cars ahead.

The # of cars ahead doesn't control it under MP?  I never knew that :)

That's what I thought, but he's indicating that this doesn't control MP
races.

   No, Papy sims at least as far back as I can remember, have limited the
ahead/behind # of visible cars to reduce the demands on the bandwidth.  
Remember the user-made high-bandwidth patches for GPL?  That, IIRC, was to
increase the # of visible cars.

says...

Because the server machine doesn't have to worry about bandwidth
issues for all the cars.  The same thing was true in GPL.  Someone
racing on the server machine (non-dedicated server) could see all 20
cars, but people connecting could only see 4 ahead and 2 behind.

Well yeah it's been like that since at least N2 on the NROS (which I think
you could only see 8 cars up front and 3 behind).  I can't recal if there
was such thing on Hawaii.
