I live in the cleveland 216 area code. I would like to start a mini
ladder of at least 5 people for 1 v 1 modem racing. E-MAIL me if U are
intrested. These are the settings that I use, I would probably be
willing to use different settings but I like these.
Race Length 10%
AI 102%
Dammage arcade
yellows off
version 1.2 (I have rendition)
random breakdowns off
2 laps for qualifying on road courses
Don't let the 102% scare you, on 10% race U can start with a much less
than full tank so it makes up the diff. This way U can't run the pole
unless U are really fast. It's more fun to start from the middle and
pass than start at the front and try to defend your position. With
these settings you don't have to worry about lap traffic causing
accidents, IMO the worst part about longer races. Also, 10% is so much
less of a time investment. If an AI car hits me off the road 1/2 way
through a 10% race, so what? only 5 min lost. But crashing out 1/2 way
through a 100% race is one full hour into the can. This becomes even
more important im multi player races where the chance of something going
wrong is X2 because of 2 players and other possible peoblems due to
connections.
You really should have a second phone line, it makes the trickey job of
connecting much easier if we can talk. Also, only one phone line means
we are racing.
Concerning FPS: I'm real pickey here. any less than an absolute minium
of 25 is not acceptable to me. Remember, you loose about 5 fps due to
connection. So I hope you either have a strong comp or a rendition card
or are willing to turn lots of stuff off.
I am particulary intrested in Art Jones and Art Axelrad, I saw you guys
on the IVGA ICR2 bord (U guys might have to go easy on me!). Other
cleveland people on IVGA but not on the ICR2 part are Mike Irwin, Mike
Neubauer, Michael Riley, and Ralph Ziehdorn.
These are just some general thoughts. I guess I wouldn't have a
problem with 50% or so race lengths. E-MAIL me and I can tell you if
anyone else has responded and we can try to set something up.
P.S. I'm going to post this message once a week for at least a month so
occasional RAS'ers will see it.
P.P.S. we already have 2 players including myself and one other, so if
you
join we will have something good going
