Enabling rFactor Online Mismatches

I need to know how to enable and disable online mismatches with rFactor. Can someone describe or post a link to a description of how this works? Thanks, Pat Dotson

Hey Pat, I think that's a setting in some form of ini file (multiplayer.ini?) how rF handles mismatches (boot immediately, exclude from race and so on). I'm not home right now so I cannot check, but I don't think it's possible to disable them entirely. Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

That sure sounds like a pretty important option for rFactor :) -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Not sure what you are getting at there Lar... I'm using a special version of rFactor licensed from ISI and customized for a corporate customer of mine. I have two copies of the software running on two computers that are networked together. This custom software lets the driver pick between two track options. The software currently does not detect online mismatches which allows people two load different tracks and the machines still sync up. The result is cars from one track on one computer floating in the air on the other computer, and vice versa. So, I need to enable online mismatches. It's probably in a config file but I've never checked for it, and need some guidance. Pat Dotson http://www.ultraforcesim.com

In the file "multiplayer.ini", located in your ".../UserData/ <playername>" directory, you will find a section named: "[ Multiplayer Server Options ]". There are two relevant lines. Here's a copy of what I have... Report Mismatches="3" // server should report mismatches for: 0=physics/GDB/RFM only, 1=physics/GDB/RFM/EXE, 2=physics/GDB/RFM/track geometry, 3=everything Mismatch Response="1" // how the server responds to mismatches: 0=does nothing, 1=kicks the mismatched client at the beginning of the Race session, 2=kicks client immediately, 3=kicks client from Qualifying or Race You can set your values to best suit your needs.

It was just a sideways comment at how nuts the rFactor mod scene has become :) -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
