I honestly can't believe I'm playing an ISI game which recommends hosting no
more than 18 players on a 128kbit upload dedicated server !! Haven't
actually seen that many on such a server yet but so far the multiplayer
seems very impressive.
You reckon? I think the track textures are superb, and that's what I think
matters most for a sense of speed and immersion. I have no problems with
the rest either, looks great. Mind you, I am using an x800pro which may be
helping a little.
One thing I'm finding with this demo is that the faster I drive, the
better it gets. I'm not sure I've ever felt quite so satisfied in a sim as
when I hit a corner right and hear that satisfying rumble as I catch the
strip on the exit. It just feels "right" somehow.

The track textures are pretty good. It's the car textures that a bit
low-res. Still, I bet there's some mod makers out there that are absolutely
rubbing their hands together after seeing this demo....

*For those of you sucked into the political threads here recently,
I offer up http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/10/24/115621/52 and
its (bittorrent) link to the first of three thought-provoking
BBC documentaries which may be of interest to some. This is what I
was downloading. Can't find any links to the other two
programmes unfortunately.
Looks like they may have only included low res textures in the demo. They
have released screenshots with higher resolution textures.

I tried it for a short while last night...I saw 1 car that looked like a
Baja Dune buggy. Very boxy with exposed wheels and yellow covered***pit.
Most of the other cars seemed ok, My ping to the server was listed as 0-10
so I'm guessing I was pretty close to the guy, but the other cars generally
showed pings to me in the 1400 range. (don't know if that is good or bad)
