That's something that was very high on my personal wish list even going
back to N4, but unfortunately it didn't make the cut this time around
either.

By the sound or "your voice" I get a feeling the patch is very immenent
(sp?)
:-)

Big question now I guess is, do we have to wati for N2003 or GPL2 to get
filtering of the racelist..?

By filtering I assume you are referring to filtering arcade vs. simulation mode races?

"Biz" asked:
mode races?

Ideally it would be possible to filter the race list by multiple choices...
So it could be set  to *avoid* displaying races that are:
- full
- empty
- passwordprotected
- held on dedicated/non-dedicated server
- 'Arcade'
- 'Simulation'
- use yellows
- use fixed setups
- limit view to in***pit
- use full pacelap
- higher / lower than a certain skill level
- require a specific LPI
- held on a certian *type* of track (SS, SW, RC, ST) etc. etc.

- or any combination of  those listed above.

The point of this being that if for example I'm looking for a race on a
road-course, I wont have to look thru a list of 200 full/empty superspeedway
races.

All the filtering will take place on the clients computers so there will be
no more 'stress' on race-list computers or hosts then it is allready.

I suggested this to one of the Papy guys when they were online one time(i
forgot his name), but he was convinced it wasnt necessary, and that sorting
them was good enough. :-(

Hi Ed,

quite a bit of this you can already do by simply sorting the racelist on
Sierra.com (click on the column header). Not perfect, but good enough to get
the job done.

It's far beyond perfect, having to sort through that mess is flat out dumb,
a filter should have been the first thing they came up with, its common
sense.

I know you can *sort* the list Joachim, but thats not what I'm after - I
want the unwanted entries to be removed!

The sorting *kind of* works - but it's miles from perfect imo.

Just a friendly joke on my part Ed - referring generalisingly to the
sometimes purported reputations of Nascar and F1, with F1 being the
champagne and luxury league where money isn't an issue, and Nascar being the
racing for regular folks where the heart matters more than perfection :-)
