GPL as a spectator ?

by Bobanou » Thu, 19 Nov 1998 04:00:00

Hello,

Is it possible to watch others race online? without actually racing ?  I
have a fast internet connection (cable modem)

I bought GPL and installed it on on my machine; unfortunatally my 166mmx,
even with 64 meg of ram and ATI XPERT 98 8meg video card is'nt fast enough
for good graphics and frame rates.

But I'd like to watch some live races, or replays of races if possible, and
eventually, after a lot of practice and a faster machine (soon) as a
participant.  I just need to know how, where, etc.

Thanks

Robert
Hull, Qubec

Yes you can,but instead of wasting one slot(there's a pilots limiter on
vroc),you could host the race and the others would benefit from the fact
you're not racing yourself(improved connection).You would act only as a
server.
