I have been musing over obtaining a second-hand server and installing a Windows Server 2003 instance + GPL + tracks on it and installing it in a rack at work (10Mb leased line connection).
Thoughts?

Exactly what UKGPL3 is (except it wasn't second hand. HP Microserver - unbelievable value for money. Windows Server - terrible VFM!

The main problem a server has is several clients with a bad connection in a short distance!

That's why I use the 2/384 2/84 BW settings to have more input for the server. (every 2 frames instead of 3 frames) My server runs this with a full grid of Gt's at LeMans without problems... Maybe only a restriction in IGOR to limit the latency: "enforce maximum latency" set to a lower value, would help, but it would exclude some drivers...

Whilst latency was high (at least on my end) at the beginning of the race, it was not a significant factor in the start-line collision, I have just witnessed the replay and seen exactly what happened. As I was involved in the mêlée I have submitted my report accordingly.

Please don't second guess the Mod report - there is very clear evidence of warp at the start.

and I second, not second guessing about the warp. Your client replay may have been OK Jethro, but I definitely suffered from some interweb anomolies off the grid and was kicked off the server, so the gremlins were active somewhere.

I'm the only one who gets punished? Take the 0 points I scored, you're welcome to them.

Natan would have had the book thrown at him had he not had a major warp to fall back on. All the rest was reactions. The rejoin incident with Jethro was eminently avoidable - the 'punishment' is to encourage you to not do it again . If you feel that you have been singled out unfairly then spend an hour and a half looking at each incident separately from several POVs and then tell me what conclusions you have come to.

Is that level of dedication sustainable? If not, then you could make the offseason break longer. You could have the summer season consist of only fun races. I really enjoy the league the way it is, and I don't want a change. However, you should probably take steps to prevent burnout before it happens. Sorry, I know that all of my suggestions are not very good.
