Who is Randy ? :)

Im not sure, but ... I think Randy is a Sierra employee in the USA, maybe he was (is) involved in GPL (programming?playing?) if this is correct, I want to know if the support you give us in r.a.s. is from Sierra or from Yourself ... and one more question : why sierra doesnt include all versions of GPL in the CD (ala GP2) ? i want to use the English version, not the spanish one ... I will have to buy Nascar3 Online to have it in english ? thanks :) PS: excuse my english McKafre De La Rosa

Launch GPL Exit GPL See Credits The first name = Randy Cassidy Who cares whther or not he's officially answering questions. The plain fact is there are few people on this planet that know more about GPL than Mr. Cassidy. Consider his presence a blessing, official or not. The patch will come, when it's ready. -/- Walk Walker Official HAL Backmarker

Yes, but don't tell Dr. Smart! It's a long story, but understand that my tagline came about in the early summer of 1995. I guess it's a bit dated now. Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

booting. ISP's do make a difference, but only from time to time.. Today, you will log on to TEN and be routed to there by way of X1,X2,X3. The next time you log on to TEN you will be sent through X1, X3, X4,. The the next time would be.. X1, X8, X2,. If you get what I mean. The ISP doesn't have the ability to decide where your connection get routed through to get to TEN. If they did, they would make sure you had a maximum of 4 hops. so, getting another ISP is only good to do if the bad hop is only the ISP it self. Is this the wrong thread Michael ? The post you are replying to me is a post about Derek Smart? I see no relation here with what you said. I assume it's related to TEN, so I will reply about this later. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...

Hmm, the routers you go from connection to connections are the same to a server 90% of the time. Your just changing of "interstate lane". But your still passing through the same companies routers. So if your passing through the Concentric routers, you may have problems, whatever router it is. More than 2/3 of the boots are related to a ISP problem or a net congestion. If not, tell me why all the users with Concentric who couldn't race because of the boots magically had them dissapear when they switched ISP ? It wasn't TEN, no? ;) at the TEN NG. This week it's a little extreme, since TEN is not really down, but having problems since the last maintenance. The system is not down, but they have encoutered a bug with the login server. It's being worked all the time since, be sure. canceled my account just a couple months (mid 99) ago because there was still no change in the service since November 97 when the NRO(S) was first online to the "paying" public. I can see your point. But to say there has been no change, well yes and no. You may think this way, but the mass majority of NROS users are satisfied with it, remember. There has been the addition of BGN tracks, fixed setups for WinstonCup tracks and BGN tracks. The addition of Rendition enablers. Addition of 3dfx enabler. Many upgrades and server addition (from 50 to 100+users per server). The NROS official series. You may or may not have liked the NROS official series, but it was something new, something different never done in the history. Heck remember 8 people went to Daytona to race the finals. They fixed the Bogus Black Flag bug. The Watkins Glen pit road entrance Black flag bug. The warping ahead bug, where people would suddenly see themselves 2-3laps ahead. Oh yes the incredible warp qual laps. Remember those 800mph laps near the start of 1998 ? Im forgetting alot of stuff here, also. Oh yes the NROS demo arena. The no-pace start where everybody would start at a different rate. Quicker Tow truck response time, backward and reverse illegal driving, qual bug at loudon, some hardware technical issues, etc.. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...

Scottish version. 1. Costs 2.99 (Pre sale price) 2. The AI crash in the pit lane and spin off whilst leading the parade lap 3. All Scottish online drivers have to pull over when Finnish drivers are running in second and let them pass. Failure to comply results in a disco (kick in version1.1).

ROFL!! he's just been booted from my fantasy GP team !! -- Cheers -Lindsay (remove "nunspam" to mail me)

If it ain't Scottish....it's shite. :) Mike P.S. Randy has been working with Dave K since...well to my knowledge, NASCAR 1. (and probably before.) I remember him working extremely *** improving AI in NASCAR. I also remember him being a very good LAN racer back when Papyrus was developing multiplayer NASCAR.

Hey, it's the Spanish version so maybe it was "Randiosa Cassidinano"? :)
