just curious...thanks alot

Sincerely

I've tired both KALI and TEN lately, obvious TEN is the best net
racing.  There is still warp, but it hasn't bitten me yet.  If you're
serious about online racing, try TEN.  You can test it out for five
free hours, and if you have problems gettting it setup and go over the
five hours they will understand and still let you cancel.  I went with
a bulk payment plan.  For $40 I get three month's service, unlimited,
instead of the $20 per month.  I can get out of the contract after
three month's.

Actually since you raced on Heat.net you probably know what "extreme"
warping is.   TEN is 10times, no 20times less warping than Heat.net  .

You know, in 2-3 years, we will check back and say "Man the NROS was soooo
before it's time".  Same thing with Hawaii.   We can't compare it to nothing
existing to the moment.

The NROS is possibily the highest form of enjoyment (sp?) you can have in
the SimRacing community.  Every F1RS, Gp2, SODA or Icr2 fans would love to
have a system that would let them race against 20people and obviously more,
with no warp.

Sure there is some little problems.  Rankings are not perfect. There is a
need for more arenas.  The BGN tracks aren't there yet.  Some things need to
be polished.  But don't compare it to IPX.  Sure IPX is maybe better if you
are in a local network.  But 4people is pretty boring.   Especially after
racing with 20 (and 32 on Hawaii).   The NROS is just a little tiny more
warps than perfect condition IPX.   Heat.net racing is disastrous.  You see
humans jump everywhere on the track. Same thing on Kali.

It's ok for Arcade quality ? What are you saying ??? Are you really on the
NROS ?

The NROS has some of the biggest serious people, people who live only for
the NROS.  Nim Cross, Mike Grandy, Rhawn Black, Andrew White, David Sparks,
etc... (long list of at least 100people).  Those guys raced at least 4000 to
5000laps on each track.  Many of them are direct testers for Papyrus. You
say it's too serious to be serious ?  Welcome to the big leagues, fella.
If you think that, your probably a Degahead...

What's your screename on TEN ? The NROS is about 40% of TEN's income, and
with that they developed an serious and solid Internet architecture.  They
are devoted to us, they know our needs.  For what you are writing you
obviously don't know 1 thing about the NROS.

If you want the short argument, all you have to do is ask yourself where
the best drivers race!  Then, try out the free TEN trial and you'll be
hooked.

I would have to say thank you ymenard for the answer i was looking for..and not
talking about a farfetched topic not having any thing to do with my notes...i.e.
n2 track conversion...eeek the nightmares...thanks again y

See you in Victory Lane!

And here i thought it was ONLINE racing, meanign the net.  Of course a
direct connections is better, but then it's only one on one, or
networked.  Is that really fun?  IMHO I'd take some minor defects to
go against 19 others anyday.

I never said it wasn't dude.  But it's not LEAGUE playable.  Sure
there are alot of LEAGUE's forming, but seriously... warps, boots etc.
NOT the fault of the end user are serious problems for LEAGUE play.
That was the question I answered.  

Duh?!?  I gave alternatives... don't read between the lines, best read
what is written.  IPX, Modem racing are 'alternatives' to great no
warp, boot racing.  "The NROS is just a little tiny more warps than
perfect contition IPX" ?!?  Right, what ship did you warp out of?
Tell the damn truth you bonehead!  NROS/TEN is warp city, boot city
still.  "little tiny" you idiot.

Quote me correctly you idiot.  I said currently NROS on TEN is ok for
arcade play... and not for serious league play.  Until the obivious is
fixed... it's an arcade game... simular to demolition derby as you at
times have no clue who is going to appear in front of you or behind
you or sometime in your car with ya on the track.  It's a game you
bonehead and a good game at that... but TEN and NROS is NOT up to par
for serious simulated league racing.

Who gives a ***who is who here.  I've raced some of these people and
beat them, (could of been the warp that helped too)  I've raced your
idiotic ass as well and let me tell you... practice off line dude! (or
it could of been that warp again. but I swear you move like your using
a joystick)  
By the way... I HATE Talledega... that's a track were your running so
close that a warp will kill all 20 of ya... and it happens to often
where 20 will start and by the end of ther race there maybe 3-4  left.

Big <grin>.  I should had never went into the Dark Side of the Force. It was
soo tempting. Show me the real stuff now  ;-)    .

Actually something changed me from totally freak to cool funky guy.  I
enlisted myself into the Canadian Royal Air Force.  I was going nowhere in
my life, and I decided this for the good of myself. I am going in full-time
around June-July probably.  Since I'm in Duty 24hours per day, and having
not many holidays, I will retire from my virtual racing career in not long.

I will get out of online racing.  I will get out of my website stuff. I will
get out of r.a.s.  for 14years <gulp> (5years of training+9years of service
as an officer).  I want to spend my last moment here having fun and helping
people in the good way.  I will actually miss all of you.  I hope to return
in time for Nascar9 ;-)
