Phew! I suck at driving the 911's. I keep spinning at about 140kph resulting in a crumpled car by the end. I gonna get whipped tonight!

Can anybody try to connect to me right now? I'll wait for a response here then starter her up. IP 198.81.26.14

The '73 RS and the '78 3.3 Turbo are really, really hard to drive compared to the others. It helps tons if you go through both the factory driver stuff (teaches car control) and the evolution mode (you work your way up to faster stuff). They were really important to me getting better. Also, I used to drive with the keyboard, but to get really good you need a wheel and pedals. With the keyboard you have to learn to throw the cars into slides through the corners since the only steering that you have is straight or full lock.

I can try to hook up, fire it up.

Cool! Give me 1 min.

Nope, nada

wanna try mine? 66.26.20.105

Damn! OK, I checked the IP on the above link 198.81.26.14 and at the upper right hand corner of the game it says 169.254.250.241, same one as last night which, I assume is the ISP router IP.

Any other ideas?

I'll try!

it might help to setup max downforce on the rear, max the suspension stiffness, max suspension travel (weird huh?) & i think use about 50% front toe in... I haven't played for ages, but from memory that setup worked better for most cars.

Can't do it. :(

bummer, probably not getting past my router firewall. Don't know enough to open it up.

Doh.... I cant even install the v3.5 patch. comes up with this

FILE_load - unable to open file install.txt
[FILE=\real\cmn\hlsfile.c,LINE=218]

Any ideas?

Got the patch from http://www.nd4spdworld.com/?section=util&v=5

Shoot me an email and I'll send it to you.

is anyone up and serving right now, would like to test and come back later

I can bring it up at 198.81.26.14, but so far I'm unsuccessful at p2p.

Thanks Ryan. I just got it from the link that, you posted, and I missed, earlier in the thread..

When do we kick off?

I should have changed that! That link sucks, let me email a different one to you.

it seemed to work but....

mrcboyle@aol.com

ryan email me the file too as I not sure I have it sidak @vnet.net (remove the space)

Oh, and is in-game chat possibe?

someone try to connect to mine 166.82.68.2

tried but connection lost

Same here, big surprise! Yes, we can chat in the game, if I ever get in one.

Thanks for the patch Ryan. What does it mean when it says extract those 3 files into the 3 folders? Can you just cut & paste them there as they aren't zip files anymore???

I'M READY TO GO!

Yep, cut/paste, drop/drag, whatever- just make sure the right files go in the right folders and overwrite when it asks.

Osidak, I took out the spaces and got this from 'mary'- 'This is not a valid cffd.org mail address.'

can you try 66.26.20.105?

is there a server up or do you guys want me to serve?

k, I'll try John

go for it Steve, I'll keep trying!

208.191.146.111

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the peep to peep portion of this software must suck.

Yeah, this bites as usual. We need server lessons.
