I started with the ARrows and was 3 seconds off my practice times in a Williams. So I left to get a Ferrari, since nobody there had one, and I couldn't get F1rst2 to restart. Bummer...of course even with my 3 extra Williams seconds, I'd still be two behind the next slowest fella... :( dh

I have to admit, I wasn't really gung-ho about racing 21 laps with just 3 people, knowing I'd likely be all alone at the back anyway. I then hit N. Charlton coming out of the first chicane -- not like me at all and I apologize. But it appears that Spudster held up so you could catch up and race. I crashed soon after and lost rear wing, then retired. Hopefully a bit more people can show up for Indy. Was it just an issue of you guys having problems getting into F1RST2? I couldn't get in initially myself, and had to download the latest version manually from their website (it wouldn't auto-update properly).

Yes poor turnout... where is everybody who signed up? There's always something that catches me out with the race setup. This time it was forgetting to reset my brake ducts after practice so my brakes overheated in race. This caused me to tap Neil at T3 on about lap 3 or 4. Did I damage your car Neil? Too bad we couldn't finish, we might have had a decent race in the end if my brakes hadn't gone off. Anyway lets say Neil won cuz his practice lap times says he owns that track (1:23.7 I think)... good job! spud. "Ped Xing" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Apparently the server crashed while we were in practice. It didn't affect the Ras race since they had already left F1rst2 for the practice and race, but I could not rejoin. I wonder if an emergency ip# could be also announced so we could join in via gamespy? Of course this takes away the cheating protections of F1rst2 tho. dave henrie

Just as I hit the esc I heard your motor :( Shame about the turnout. Everyone gets so enthusiastic talking about these things and Eldred goes to a ton of trouble to organise things and hardly anybody shows :( > Anyway lets say Neil won cuz his practice lap times says he owns thattrack > (1:23.7 I think)... good job! > Yeah - let's all say that ;)

How deep into the "Not very good" driver pool are you willing to go? For example my best Austria is 1:12, and Spa is 1:02. I lap about 2 or 3 seconds off that pace. The only assist I use is traction control set to low. I'm pretty good at getting out of an online driver's way when I see the blue flag. Larry

Spa in 1:02??? You're an alien!!!! ;o) Seriously just show up, you'll be fine. I'm about 2 seconds off the pace at most tracks and I finished second at Australia, the last one I was in. In fact it sounds like you and I could have a pretty good little race by ourselves. An intense battle for 3rd or 5th or whatever. I'm expecting a lot of "incidents" at Malaysia, there's some nasty corners there. If you can go the whole race without crashing you will almost certainly have a podium finish. Sounds sad, but what the heck, it's all in fun. I have crashed out twice in a row now but I'm still going to show up next time. As long as I don't take anybody else out I will continue to show up when I can. "Larry Lindstrom" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi Dave: Can't we just go peer to peer? Once a connection is made, what part does Gamespy play in the process? What cheating protections? I'm starting to see odd files, like "Terrrain".something, reported as mismatched. What mismatch reports indicate problems? My files are all original and unpatched, except for my PLR file of course.

Well supposedly only F1c cars are supposed to be able to run in a F1 C session. And if we go to a GT Mod, then only GT type cars should be able to join. In F1 2k1/2, any tom dick or harry with an F1 rocket could intrude into a GTR session(or any other mod) On Sunday, SOMEBODY was mismatched. THere were several error messages. dave henrie

Haha, you haven't seen me race. You were looking good at Australia. Again, I'm thinking of how much more racing would have happened if everyone was invulnerable. I'm willing to limp back to the pits after an incident. I'll continue to race as long as my car is repairable. If I have to have the wheel cranked to the right in order to go down a straight-away, I'll probably retire. Larry
