Its real ANNOYING seeing people ask a dozen times "is pace on" please open eyes and read the event rules when you join a race! I recall an earlier post saying something about being lazy? :)

I agree!! In fact, I have recently decided to use one of my auto-chat lines for "no pace no yellow". That saves me from typing it at the start of EVERY race. :-) -- -Paul My reply address is false. Please post replies to this news group. If you need to e-mail me, it's scan-man at home dot com

It's on the connection screen what kind of race it is. If you don't want to race a Pro Long, DON'T JOIN!. Sheesh... Eldred ___ Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?

Eldred that would require people to actually open their eyes, use their education and read. The greatest thing about the 1.1 patch was the ability to force certain classes of cars. Pre-patch I can't count the number of times I spent the whole qual period asking some bozo in a F1 car to please leave as it was a F2 or F3 race even though that was clearly stated in the comments section (and at times was even the password). -- Thanks Michael Horton Webmaster of http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/gpl/ Home of the F2/F3 Hotlaps and http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/html/ HTML for Begineers

Yeah, I know.<sigh> People just DON'T pay attention... I can see them accidently trying to join a passworded race(I've done it once or twice). That's easy to miss. The main thing *I* look for is the track, the length of the race, and the name of the server.(Some are better than others) If the person is running 640x480 on their desktop, I can almost see them missing the comments, as it will be off their screen unless they scroll. However, they should understand a message from the host that it's an F2 or F3 race, and disconnect accordingly. Eldred ___ Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends?

People still use 640 x 480??<G> Guess I forgot about that. Even on my 7 year old 14" P.O.S. monitor I used to run 1024 x 768. And people wonder why I wear glasses <G> -- Thanks Michael Horton Webmaster of http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/gpl/ Home of the F2/F3 Hotlaps and http://www.bus.nait.ab.ca/staff/mikeh/html/ HTML for Begineers > >Eldred that would require people to actually open their eyes, use their > >education and read.
