I have the same problem...No firewall, only a modem/router, correct ports open...
What is a Dmz?

Yes right clicking with the mouse on the angle slider works. You can input the value directly.

Quote from Tweaker :

Speaking of mouse and keyboard users, they could still use their aids, but as always, they probably wouldn't be as fast as wheel users. Ever since the infamous patch that took keyboarders out of existence (well not really), wheel and mouse drivers are the only dependable source of control.

Well some of us keyboarders are still here, and we're still having great fun! I like the suggestion too, and I don't think keyboard players would be more penalized than they are now. It's mainly about the controller settings, for the rest it's just getting used to.

When I'm racing with a good setup I try to take it to its maximum potential, without waiting for a better or more suited setup to arrive. When I find a better setup I'm happy with the faster times but if I don't ever find one I won't miss it. It's all about getting the car you have in your hands to its maximum speed, may it be understeery or oversteery.

However one other thing that would be nice to change is braking power: it doesn't make one faster, but for keyboard or mouse the braking power of wheel setups is too high resulting in locked wheels. Remember we can only brake or not brake.

Anyway, like tweak said new features are always nice in a game, maybe some people don't like them and it's normal, it doesn't take away the fun they're having already. I don't hotlap now but I don't bother other people doing it.

I think the most important thing for this to work easily with no unhappy people is a good but not extreme setup for each car.

Hmm... that's a problem.

I was hoping to use the ANSI Codepage result, to detect how the incoming bytes should be interpreted. but in your case, that would not help at all because you have Windows 1252, standard Latin-1.

That means if i carry on as planned, your characters would still be wrong in the new version.

Doesn't make much sense to me... do you have the same problem (wrong characters) in Notepad, or does it work correctly in Notepad?

No, notepad and word have all the correct characters. Actually this problem has showed up in other translated programs too. I don't know what causes it though.

I don't understand exactly why, but the first test gives me different results, but it seems to give the same on the second test, although I'm not so sure because of the blurry small a of psy00.
