NR2003 cheating.

I guess I should have explained what PunkBuster was. But Ronny is correct.
used for online FPS, like Counter Strike and such. Prevents cheating, and is
updated often to prevent new cheats from getting in.
It's not official, but the FPS community has always had much more open
access to a games code, so things like PunkBuster have sprung up as
community projects. I know some in this thread have already started the "I
don't trust <fill in the blank here> to build this as they might spy on me"
discussion. But honestly, we might need something like this to help with the
cheating. Unless someone else has a better idea. (Of course I am saying this
with absolutely zero knowledge as to how something like this would be
programmed, nor the time to learn, so it is easy for me to say.)

Not really...  I always end up being cannon fodder. :-)

Thanks.

Punkbuster would be nice. Personally I vote for having the Rating systems
turned off. Well, maybe keeping the LPI rating alive. But as for the track
ratings. Turn it off. Maybe the cheaters will flake off to some other game
and cheat there.
Last few weeks I've been racing N2002 and guys, if you like racing with out
cheaters.. head back there...great racing going on!! Sure they race arcade
but its great.. Oh heres a cheat that every one should know by now. You can
use your sim set in arcade mode. Simply make a copy of your sim set and
change sim to acd.  There you go.. sim racing in arcade mode. Hope to see
you guys back racing n2002.

Before the patch you could cheat in arcade mode by using a setup file
from sim mode.  This was either fixed by the patch or no one cares.

That was the source of all those "Hybrid" races that were on Sierra with
NR2002.

I do not believe this is possible any longer, but I'm not sure.

THAT is a major development.  Damn...

I wonder if fixed races are safe?

In fixed races, is the setup transmitted from the host to all clients ?

Does a sim mode setup give more speed in arcade mode?
