Could someone please explain these to me? These are online racing
places where everyone can race against each other? Kali is over the
internet but Hawaii is not?? Kali is free but hawaii is not? these
are the facts? Then why would anyone use hawaii if kali is free?
Just wondering

Kali and Kahn are both shareware programs that allow games to be played
through an internet connection via IPX. Racing style games, that require
huge amounts of instant information to be passed between modems, perform
poorly to anyone that is used to running with a direct modem connection.
At most it can be used for practice with a teammate, but racing anywhere
within 50 ft of another car results in unacceptable warping in my
opinion. Collisions from warping are inevitable as the other car will
suddenly disappear and reappear on top of you. Golf, such as Linksls,
plays superbly. Obviously golf would not require the demands of Nascar
2. A buddy, who lives only 20 miles away but is a toll call, and I have
tried Kali, Kahn, and Heat. Our ping times and latencies are excellent,
but due to spikes or whatever, racing is not possible. Some people race
with these programs all the time, perhaps they have a perfect ISP
connection or have a T1 line.

On Hawaii you can race up to 36 ( I think that is max for dega) other
players at ONE time. Kali you're lucky if you can get 3 at one time.
Hawaii is excellent for N1 but you got to have some bucks $$$$$ for the
Long Distance phone bill.

Hawaii is the public beta test for Nascar Racing Online. It allows many
drivers to race, and is free as far as Sierra/Papyrus is concerned.
However, you have to dial into the Boston area server, and are
responsible for any long distance charges you incur. It runs a modified
version of Nascar1. Interestingly enough, Hawaii generally gives
excellent connections (very little or no warping), even with 15-20 real
drivers or more. In my opinion, Papyrus has worked Hawaii to a point
where it is often better than a 2 player modem race! Those of us who
have run on Hawaii for awhile are generally spoiled, and find Kali/Kahn
a poor substitute.
Personally I have been running the some of the IVGA league, and we are
following the real Nascar schedule with about 13-17 racers. It really
is a blast to run against a good group of guys. For more info on
Hawaii, check it out on the Sierra web site.
