Hello,
I am waiting patiently for the GPL patch, and the readme file did clear up
a lot, can't wait for force feedback.
But,
There was mentioned that it would be easier to host a race from behind a linux
firewall. That doesn't help me much. The case is, i was trying to race on VROC
on my system at work (i even had to buy myself a V2 and a SB PCI64 soundcard
to make it work :), and I couldn't join nor host races because there is a
firewall of some sort. There is no problem when racing againt my fellow workers
(we call it simulator research :), but VROC is hopeless.
I posted about this some months ago and got answered that this is not possible
and i settled with that, paying the phonebill instead.
Will the patch help this problem, or is any hopes of playing GPL on a wideband
connection for me hopeless ?
I just want to host a 20 player novice race at monza since noone else want to
do this. I doesn't have the time, nor the skill to race int.long races at
kyalami :) In fact, there are hardly any novice quickraces on vroc any longer.

That's because too many people were "cheating" by running the armco in
the lesmos and getting unrealisticly fast times, and not driving as well
as they could have because they could shift-r any time they wanted to.
Nobody that wants to finish a race is racing novice any more.
