There seems to be no talk of internet play. Is it any good? Laggy?

Also, how is the force feedback in GPL?
thanks

Ahh, people are not talking about Internet play because they are too
busy doing it.  

Over the weekend, I was in so many online races I can't remember half of
them - although I do clearly remember beating a field of five or six
Lotus-mounted hotshoes in my Eagle at Monza.  Twice.  Second time from
the pole.

Well, in all fairness, I should mention that I got trounced at Rouen,
though.  Three times, in fact, although I did manage third in the last
one.  I was up to third in a race at Zandvoort when I got disconnected
due to a problem with the host's ISP.

There were anywhere between six and ten people in the races I was
running in, and I heard rumors of 14 people in some races later in the
day.  All these were hosted via cable modems.

General consensus seems to be that there has never been anything like
multiplayer racing in GPL.  It's incredible - and to be doing it with
folks thousands of miles away, well...

Now if we could just FIND these races.....  :-)

Been in a few 56k hosted 3 player races at Silverstone, Monaco, Mosport, and
Zandvoort, really nice, but I'd dearly love to get into some of these cable
modem hosted races.  But can't find 'em.  Lemme in, please.  I'm slow,
you'll still win...promise.  :-)

I was in several 18-20 player races last night (Sunday) hosted
by cable modems.  Unfortunately, the quality of my connection
with those larger fields leaves a lot to be desired.  Not sure
if it's an ISP or modem bandwidth issue, but I get a lot of
warps and disconnects.  With only 1 or 2 other cars it's pretty
good.

Alison,

The 14 people record has been smashed.  I hosted an (get this) 18
person romp at Monza.  To ensure no one's frame rate got hit, I just
hosted and watched the race.  It was wicked!  No one was complaining
either.

Pat,

the quality of your connection ALWAYS leaves a lot to be desired :)

About the frame-rate or about the fact that you'd decided to sit that
one out...? ;-)

I've been really surprised by how bad it is.  It has
never been a problem on TEN.  Last night I hooked up
with Shawn Wise and Jay Taylor, with Shawn hosting on
a 28.8 modem.  It was far smoother than the time you
and I hooked up on your cable modem and we were the only
cars on the track!  I just can't figure it out.

BTW, I uncommented the clock line in the core.ini and
it seemed to have some positive effect.  Should I try
lowering it further?

Randy...I missed the Monza romp, but you said the same sort of thing at
one of the other tracks...I forget which one...and you said, "I'm going
to race now, tell me if it causes problems".  Were you able to identify
whether it did?  I didn't notice anything, but I seem to get a really
good connection to you as host.  I think we had a good dozen on the
track at that point.

Nobody else complained.  I just didn't want to take chances on people
getting booted...so I decided to call play by play instead :)
