I must have a rookie spotter because a lot of times he is a little too late with his help. Like sometimes after-the-fact late. So I was wondering: why not hook up another computer (like this one after I upgrade to a 1Ghz) via LAN (having to purchase another N4 CD of course) so that when racing on line I can have two monitors. The main monitor would be set to the normal in-car view, the other could be placed near it set to helicopter view, or whatever. Wouldn't this go a long way to preventing online accidents? Wouldn't it be similar to real world perhiperal vision? Or would it be cheating? Just wondering. -Tony-
**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** Logistically, this would be a nightmare to implement, but an interesting idea nonetheless :) The spotter lag is a serious issue with N4. Not reporting damage to you is another problem, or reporting it AFTER you passed the damned pit entrance. That one really gets on my nerves. -Larry "Tony Jester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Q5wm6.1913$[email hidden]... > I must have a rookie spotter because a lot of times he is a little toolate > with his help.
