They would just be practice sessions, not races. Therefore you would not get "places". No DNF's, no wins, no holeshots. JLV could add some sort of ranking system specifically for practice sessions, if he wanted. Mainly it would just be for qualifying for SX, or those national try-hards that just want their names on the leaderboards. Stat rats! :lol:

15 post after a good week on non. I like it.

Shack I thought about that too, it would be nice to reset. But then again it may cause more lag.

DJ you have a great idea of showing the person with default gear, but why not have an option?

I think we would need to set a rider limit, meaning we would probably need multiple practice servers. I suppose jlv could set 02 and 03 for practice during supercross, and 02 and 01 for nationals. 20 rider limit per server?
I thought people would think it was multiplication, I just did that so the numbers would be right next to each other.

just make a text that says f1 or f2 to join like other games


allows people to come and go and start at the first timing gate and just hop on the track whenever, but still can do restarts for starts etc.


i kinda like the thought of testing it out, only bad thing is multiple people connecting and disconnecting could cause lag ?

That wouldn't make any sense at all.

Late joiners would complicate a lot of different things so I'd like to avoid that if possible. I'd be more likely to make a special qualification mode where you race alone and the server can handle more than one run/race at a time.

Doesn't solve waiting for people to restart, or being stuck in warm up for ever when you first join the server.
