connection meter displayed, it is very easy to tell if you have a bad
connection. For instance, normally I have a great connection, however at the
Dega race my meter was spiking every minute or two, it would be fine then
the latency and stability meter would gradually climb, and get into the red
for a moment, then go back down to normal. After just a few laps, someone
mentioned that my car was going in and out, and so I knew for sure that I
had a connection problem, and pitted and exited the race.
For those of you that might not be familiar with this meter, you press I
believe ctrl c to display it. I always race with it displayed in
mulitplayer.
