Thanks ISI. You brought my favorite racing sim (F1C) into the online world
:-D
I setup a server called "PRC 1Mbit Canada" and set it to 25 drivers because
32 uncontrolled people on one course is pretty insane, but it'll be great
for league races.
From first hand experience, hosting with 10 to 20 people is just fine. The
server hosted 28 drivers and the participants said it the connection was
good -- I couldn't see it for myself because I wasn't racing. No outragous
warp, just good ol' fun.
Jason.
Jason,
I was on your server yesterday and I can attest that it was up to the task.
I think there were as many as 15 on the track at one point during practice,
and it was virtually indistinguishable from the online quality of a NASCAR
2003 race on Sierra.com. Keep up the good work! Hope to catch you there
sometime... my rFactor handle is "Sy Donia".

Remember that the physics, graphics, damage model, ff, net code, etc are all
alpha/beta code, and that this demo is to test the multiplay. There still
plenty more more to come from the GMotor 2.0 game engine, which means this
sim is going to be pretty fantastic IMO. This demo was really only released
to test the multiplayer.

The physical server will be up at least until Monday. If the "PRC 1Mbit
Canada" server can't be found it's probably due to a bug in the dedicated
server which crashes the program after about 4 hours of hard racing.
My handle is "Jason". Catchy, I know :-)
Jason.
