I'm posting this again in hopes of some response. ;)I know there are alot of excellent games out there with great leagues and servers but I hpoe we can find the time to try sbk 2001. ;D I am hoping that with high speed internet and updated hamachi we can get some decent online performance to put some life back into this game.I race regularly with gtl and gpl but still doesn't compare to sbk.Hopefully a couple of fanatics will reply and we can some sort off league going.I'm not much of a computer wiz but I,ve got some spare time i can throw in to get this going  best regards and good racing Mike X |

For those not familiar with Hamachi it is a free program to enable people to play online like if it were lan, like if the computers were hooked up in the same room.But over the internet instead! Just type hamachi in google and check it out. Hope to see you all soon!

Hi mikex, you will see a post somewhere here about hamachi,
Blade and DavyB did extensive tests with it racing SBK 2001
and it only made the game marginaly better online, there
was no significant change to speak of.
What i will say though is, to be on a server, drop details
on graphics, to help the slower pcs, race on someones server
who as the slowest connection rate, and make sure everyone
is using same physics otherwise all riders with different physics
will appear as though they are crashing all the time.

thx for your info daz I will take the advice into consideration. I guess I'm a bit fustrated at milestone's last endeavor and hope the sbk 2007 version will be better.Alot of the sbk community surely wish they would just pick from where they left of with the 2001 version and just improve the online code and update the bikes and riders along with the tracks. A little physics tweaking would make the game simply perfect as the basis for the game is certainly up to par with any sim currently out there.I race quite a bit online with GTL and GTR2 and Ii can vouch that the tracks and vehicales as a hole are easily as good!. Any ways felt good to get that off my chest!!!.See you around the forum man!

Hi everyone.
I would like to try SBK2001 online as well. I installed Hamachi and I see doru and mikeX connected on this server "sbk2001".
I have original physics sbk2001 installed on my computer so you could try it online with me if you wish ... tell me.

I just tried it with mikeX. It worked quite well but strangely Mike had to host the session in order to make the game work properly ... and he had the best internet connection ... Strange.

I'm glad it went well with pierre today,hope we can get more than two online.I have cable high speed so maybe thats why it is better if I host.Had the same situation with a friend earlier last year.It is important to have the physics patch installed on all participants because those that dont are constantly being seen crashing everywhere by the others.We will try again this monday starting 1:00 pm gmt hamachi server name sbk 2001 password superbike.That's around 7:00pm for you guys across the pond!
