N3: What the...

Hey, What's with all the letter columns between the number of players and the ping? I can't find anything in the manual explaining what they are. (D,Y,P,V,%, etc.) Also, what's with the fact that nine out of ten races I try to join I get a message of "Connection Failed"? I have no problem whatsoever connecting to VROC or GSB. -Chris- Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

D: Damage on Y: Yellow's on P: Pace Lap on F: Fixed Setups %: Percent of full race length I'm not sure about the Connection Failed message, I get it a lot. It could be that GSB acutally displays the status of a race and if a Race is in Practice you can join it, but if the green flag has dropped, you can't join. It could be that N3 missed the "Status" column and maybe the server is already in Qualify or Race and we just can't get in. Dean

I know this has been posted before, but once more for the record, from actual tests, here's what they mean: D Damage setting A Arcade damage model D Realistic damage model nix No damage Y Yellow flags Y Yellows are on nix Yellows are off P Pace Lap P Pace lap nix No pace lap F Fixed Setups F Setups are fixed (everyone uses the same setup) nix Setups are not fixed M Driving Mode A Arcade mode nix Realistic mode % Percentage of the actual race length that will be run. eg. California at 10% = 0.1 x 250 laps = 25 laps Hope this helps. Zog

Jeez, sorry about the piss-poor format of that post, it looked much better when I typed it in. Zog
