Hi Gary, I know many people have interest in a net play feature, but I don't simply have time to work that in to the 1.0 release. One of the major factors I have elected not to make a net play feature is that Microsoft is fasing out DirectPlay in DirectX 10 which games like Topspeed use for network game play, and haven't really given us a real alternative to it. So with DirectPlay going out of DirectX it seams I would have to come up with some custom network code on my own using standard Winsock code which is a bit more complicated than DirectPlaywas. I suppose I could come up with a reasonable compromise of using DirectPlay for an early release and try and conver to Winsock later, but that might be begging for trouble later on when people go DirectX 10.
