Snipped from the Pits n2003 interview..

"For the *** simmers out there we have added a new multiplayer mode
called "*** Mode". If enabled, *** Mode will force the use of
***pit view, smoke, windshield buildup, and the solar effects."

'Bout dam time too :)

Question is will it *ever* get used with all the roof riders everywhere?..

It will probably be used in leagues quite a bit.

Not all leagues, wont be used in ours unless the view component can be set
separately.

I wonder whether they've built in anti-cheat measures as well.

It was asked in the interview. The answer was basically that they have made
changes to help reduce cheating, but he was unable to give any details,
citing basically that the less the cheaters know about it, the better it
will work.

The really sad part is that they can't completely prevent cheating,
sadder still, there will be people that find and use ways around the
anti-cheat measures, and even more sad, they won't be very willing to
address any changes that need to be made because Sierra won't let
them pump too much more time into the sim in order to fix/add things
that are lacking.

No matter what measures are taken there will always be cheaters, that is a
fact and no real way to solve it.
I think most of the sim community is pretty good. I see no point in winning
races by cheating as it does nothing for me to know I can only win that way.
I'd rather come 10th with my ability than cheat to get 1st. in most league
cheating isn't an issue as it is more a community than a pure completion
thing.

Hopefully Papy will setup at least one *** loop server.

It doesn't matter how many anti-cheat measures they bulid in , some low-life will find a way to
cheat around them.
