OK, finally gave in to the pressure and tried GPL online through WinVROC
this weekend. Tons o' fun. One question though:

On the top right of the screen when driving, there are 3 status bars,
labeled L, Q, and S. I'm guessing L = latency, but can anybody tell me what
they mean.

In the races I was in, L was about half-full, and the Q and S bars were just
a single thin flickering line about half way up. Just before I got
disconnected a couple of times, the bars all got mostly full (:

L atency  Full red is 1000ms latency
Q uality    Full red is 100% packets loss
S kew      Red will indicate a timedifference with the server

In all cases you don't want to see red.

It tells you in the 1.2 readme.

Q = Quality
S = Synchronisation (clock, between your GPL clock & the server) it can go
above or below midpoint to denote if you are ahead or behind the server I
believe.

Cheers
