I noticed a "trend" going on. Most people setup races with all the
"helps" turned on. I really hate that. I'm used to racing MGP2 offline
with no help on and other racing sims too (Nascar 2, GPL). I don't
really mind. So that's why I setup my races with no "helps" available.
People join, but as soon as they notice the realism is set to higher
levels, they bail. I end up racing alone. What a bunch of wuss!

Easy way to solve that,
istead of joining someone elses race create your own with aids off and get
people to join that!

That what I did. But people join and don't realize the aids are off when
they join. When the race start, they notice that and that's when they
quit... really sux!

Try naming the game "No Aids" or something like that. That way people that
like to use aids won't join.

Wimps, all of them. Too bad I haven't got my second computer installed
yet, otherwise I'd join you over IP masquerading and employer-paid-for
ISDN callback ... Well, give me a month ;-)

If someone right-clicks  the session that he or she wants to join, it will
show which aids will be available in that race.  Maybe that will stop some
people from joining the session if they want to use aids or vice versa.
