Just got the game & downloaded the Tornado skins...kewl!

How do I get other computer-boats to race against in solo mode? Each time I set them up, the game crashes just when they cross the start line (behind me of course ).

Would be interested in trying the network games...even if I've got to downgrade my boat to an F18

Mike.

I think I figured out my network difficulties finally.

But to race against other F18 computers you need to do a "Custom Race"

It is all in a foreign language. Do you have to join to download them?

Yes, you need to sign up to the site, get a login ID & pwd...then you can download. No charge. There is a little English flag upper left to switch to English text, but not all the pages are in English (ie the FAQ page).

Hey, mybe we should aks one of the French-speakers on this board to give us a translation of the FAQ?

Mike.

sweet!

I'll have to find the F18 install files. I tried looking for them last night in my "junk bin" directory but couldn't find them. I'll go back to virtual winds and get it. Gives me a chance to brush up on my french.

Nah Jake, no satellite or anything like that. Just an wireless router access point. So if your laptop is wireless and we get the rv compound setup we should be in range +/- 300 ft. to try to run it over the lan. I fugure it would be fun for rainouts and drunken midnight races.

BF2 drunk is so much fun.
