MGP2 and game service

I noticed a "trend" going on. Most people setup races with all the "helps" turned on. I really hate that. I'm used to racing MGP2 offline with no help on and other racing sims too (Nascar 2, GPL). I don't really mind. So that's why I setup my races with no "helps" available. People join, but as soon as they notice the realism is set to higher levels, they bail. I end up racing alone. What a bunch of wuss! Philster

Easy way to solve that, istead of joining someone elses race create your own with aids off and get people to join that!

> Easy way to solve that, > istead of joining someone elses race create your own with aids off and get > people to join that! That what I did. But people join and don't realize the aids are off when they join. When the race start, they notice that and that's when they quit... really sux! Philster

Try naming the game "No Aids" or something like that. That way people that like to use aids won't join.

Wimps, all of them. Too bad I haven't got my second computer installed yet, otherwise I'd join you over IP masquerading and employer-paid-for ISDN callback ... Well, give me a month ;-) Uwe -- Spam-proof e-mail: Uwe Schuerkamp <hoover at telemedia . de> http://www.telemedia.de/~hoover ////// Phone: +49-5241-80-10-66 Best of Scottish Folk: http://home.pages.de/~nsg >>> Blue Ribbon Campaign: Support Free Speech on the Internet <<<

If someone right-clicks the session that he or she wants to join, it will show which aids will be available in that race. Maybe that will stop some people from joining the session if they want to use aids or vice versa.
