Re: Best racing game for online play?

I have 3 letters for you... G P L ;) Or the long version, Grand Prix Legends. Is an old horse (released in 98), but with all the great addons there are this baby matches the newest titles in graphics. The online code is by far (along with Nascar 4 and 2002 wich are also developed by Papyrus) the best out there. Gameplay is imo unic. Its very hard to master, but when you do, you are in heaven ;) Have a look at the GPLEA guys site : http://gplea.racesimcentral.com The make the greates addon cars (not new cars, but new models). Gives you an idea of what kind of eyecandy to expect from GPL. / Karsten Borchers www.simracing.dk www.racesimcentral.com P.s. There is a new dog in town. It's called Live for Speed, and will be among us... hmm sometime next year. But there is a demo out, and its a hole lot of fun. Works great online too. http://www.liveforspeed.net "Moe Lefaive" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:mNTc9.4184$[email hidden]... > What is the best racing game for multiplayer?? > > Moe > > >

Get ye away. Get ye one ye olde 33k modem - even better Doug

External 28.8 cleared up a ton of problems for a friend of mine. The way The Geforce and SoundBlaster cards like to hog up the PCI bus he was always getting the 100035 error. Which is a Winsock error for device not available. I think the death of the ISA bus and there fore the ISA modem is the main problem for modems, not so much the game software. MadDAWG

Getting rid of a winmodem is always a good move. You get back CPU cycles, PCI bandwidth, and IMHO internal PCI modems get crap connection performance as well (probably because they rely on CPU cycles being available). A good external serial or USB modem works wonders for online play. The only thing I can suggest better is a dedicated linux or freebsd gateway. (oh - and get cable ffs :) iksteh
