N4 Multiplayer questions

1)  Is there any way to scroll down the racer list in Multiplayer without it
jumping back to the start everytime someone enters or exits a room (which is
constantly)?

2) Is there anyway to get real time track position while racing and F-2 is
activated?  Seems like in N2 you could hit "enter" and you recieved realtime.
Was great help when the leaders were coming up from behind.

3) Where can I find out just how the ranking system works and what all the info
means when you "shift/alt" while looking at rankings?  Once you "shift/alt"
right-click doesn't work.

4)  Is there anywhere to find out ALL drivers rankings and info in one
database?

Thanks all
Mike

  I'm betting there is an ini file that enables the 'player X enters'
messages, probably can turn those off and that should fix your
problem...(not much help eh?  )  :>

realtime.

  SPACE the final Frontier....If you want to see who's in the SPACE in front
of your or the SPACE behind you...just.....

  All you need to know is that EVERYONE will be better than me...
These rankings are very similiar to what was used in the glory days of TEN.
Your skill at each kind of track will be track when you race via the Sierra
servers and in races where the host uses the rankings to limit which drivers
can join.  i.e.  A fast guy can cut off all us slugs so we can't join.  Also
if us slugs get tired of seeing guys whiz by...we can enable the rankings
and keep those
dogoodnicks out.  As far as shift alt?   I am...howyousay....CLUELESS.

well-discussed bug, undoubtedly will be fixed in first patch

space-bar replaces enter key to toggle between "time behind leader last lap"
display and "time ahead/behind closest cars" display

(I thought it was ctrl-shift.)  IIRC, RR = races run, RC = races completed,
LA = laps attempted, LC = laps completed, LPI = laps per incident.  The
numbers shown for each kind of track are your last 10 races.

haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, cool idea though
