(N4) Rankings

After turning on the help menu thingy, I seen that you have to join a race that is set up to keep statistics. So, how do I know what races are what? next, Although I understand the concept of rankings from the old TEN system, Is there a place that explains everything to the new driver? And is there a place where I can get detailed information on my rankings?

I am not sure what exactly you are looking for as far as detailed information but try this. Highlight your name in chat and hit the P beneath it. That will pull up your profile. Now hold down the shift and ctrl button at the same time, that will show you a little bit more info about your stats. Such as the last 10 races you have run in each catagory, how many races you have won, laps, etc "Michael Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:XDTh6.39169$[email hidden]...

I took a tour of the Multiplayer system looking at the pop up windows for each item. There is two questions though.. 1. "Series", What is this referring to? Is it referring to a league that might be running on that server? or is there another concept to this? 2. Under the "players" list, the list that shows who is in that chat room, What are the letters "P, W, I, M"? They are grayed out and there is no pop up window for them. I also checked out all the hosting options and found other options in the "players" window, and ect.. The above questions are the only things that I don't understand or don't know anything about.

Unfortunately there hasn't been *any* servers setup to get a rank. Any case, Thanks for the help with the profile section :-)

Series will be expanded on later. I can only assume that they will be adding CTS and BGN P = Profile W = Whisper I = Invite M = Muzzle "Michael Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:HjUh6.39188$[email hidden]...

The host can specify that only certain ratings are allowed to join, and one of the columns shows what ratings are allowed. The only two I've seen so far are "0" and "0-10". From this I assume that 10 is the highest ranking, a race rated "0" allows anyone with a rating of 0 or higher to join, and a race rated "0-10" would allow everyone to join as well. I'm assuming if the host specifies "7" that anyone rated 7 or higher could join. I would also guess that you could setup a race for "0-4" to eliminate high-rated players. (I'm not sure anyone will do this, but I'm also not sure how else you'd increase your rating if you're sitting at 4 and most of the races want 7-10.) > I took a tour of the Multiplayer system looking at the pop up > windows for each item.

Other things people have found make it certain that they've prepared for both Busch and truck series later. > 2.

Profile, Whisper, Invite, Muzzle, they're grayed out until you select a player

> >Profile, Whisper, Invite, Muzzle, they're grayed out until you select a >player I got everything figured out as seen in other posts. The only thing I see as wrong is that you have to highlight a name in order to get the rankings of an individual. That's harder then hell because when someone joins and/or leaves the chat room, The players list jumps up to the top. And there's probably an average of 10 people per second doing this. It took me one hell of a long time between bringing the scroll bar down to my name and when I was finally able to select my name. bummer.

next questions... When I finally was able to sellect my name in the Players list and click the "P" I was able to see my rankings. Holding the shift and CTRL button while viewing my rankings I get another set of figures next to each of these rankings. I can only assume they are ranks for each track(?) If so, What are the order of tracks from left to right? What about these figures? I have a score or rank next to these but I have no idea what they mean... RR=X RC=X LA=X LC=X IC=X Last.. Maybe I'll find the answer in the above list but... LPI on TEN used to calculate touching the wall as a hit as well as bumping (bump drafting) as another hit. Then also if you were hit multiple times such as in a big pile up, that got scored as many hits for the same lap. and ect.. ect.. So, What is calculated with in the LPI? Or, what constitutes as a hit? What I need and I'm sure it'll help many others... What is scored and how is it scored to give you a Rank on the new N4 system?

I noticed that too, Mike, I usually like to highlight a friends name when we're racing so I can tell if he's made it back to chat quickly or not, it's tough just to find a name, much less highlight one!

All those numbers show the last 10 (or however many numbers there are) races that you ran and the scores you got for them. RR = Races Run RC = Races Completed LA = Laps Attempted LC = Laps Completed IC = Incidents "Michael Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5QZh6.46128$[email hidden]... > next questions... > > When I finally was able to sellect my name in the Players list andclick > the "P" I was able to see my rankings.

Actually, there have been from the start. ALL of the Papy servers have rankings. Unfortunately, Rankings went down last Friday, and were out all weekend. That's why all you saw were 'X's in the column :( -Larry "Michael Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NWUh6.39197$[email hidden]... > > Cliff Roman wrote in message<96923g$s0a$[email hidden]>...

Speaking of Rankings, they appear to be back up. But I'm not sure this is a good thing. I came in 3rd in a Daytona that had some 30 + racers. I had a little damage. I LOST 118 points ? Methinks some adjustment is necessary... -Larry "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1q_h6.70493$[email hidden]...

I think he would like the same thing I would... A document or web page that explains, in detail, the points system and the damage points system... -Larry "Cliff Roman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:96923g$s0a$[email hidden]...
