That means a lot of walking yes. Let's see: Friday, walked from car to
lodge, 10 km 500 height meters 2,5 hours. Saturday, Fished in 5
different waters, unknown walking length, 1000 height meters
accumulated, 10 hours, got 3 small trouts. Sunday, decided to visit a
peak before returning to car, 2 hours, 600 height meters, and then two
more hours to get back to car.

It was a nice weekend, but my legs still hurt. :)

btw, what is the difference between hiking and trekking anyway ?

Oooooh :)

One of the players, I can't remember whom, had an incredible spin exiting
the first turn into the chicane. He started spinning on himself, doing
360's after 360's but pivoting mostly on one wheel.

LOL
My "so called" buddy at the computer store next door
better get his ***in gear. Or I'll just build the dang thing
myself.... I just thought, he does it everyday so it should
be a "no brainer" and get done quickly. But I've been
waiting more than a week to get a MB installed......
This ain't rocket science! You know how some people can be
when we say "I gotta get it done fast because I have races
I have to be in and an owner that's depending on me"!
It just goes in one ear and out another..........

I'm getting the parts at cost, $485 dollars for the MB/Processor/Ram/PowerSup
or I'd just yank my case/videocard/sound card and buy my own stuff.

Too fast for me Damien! So I started my own (autralian) server.

Within 5 minutes I had 7 other players ready to go, I was quite concerned
that my 512/128 ADSL wouldn't be able handle all these connections but I
shouldn't have been, ran some great races with no lag at all, amazing!

I get a somwhat different result if I try the same thing on F12002.

Hiking is what Boy Scouts do...Trekking is what Star Trek groupies do at
conventions.

>> That was the most pure fun I've had in online racing in years. Tight,

>> I couldn't quit. :-)

I can't get multiplayer working.. 9 out of 10 times LFS crashes while
connecting, and when I finally do make a connection, my steering wheel
doesn't respond and the car is driving around in circles by itself.

In single player mode all works perfect btw.
Any idea's?
