Hi,
I noticed that some flight simulators allow playing against someone
else using a modem. I was wondering if it is possible to make
such a game that would link to the internet and allow many
players to play at the same time.
 does anyone here have any experience with such games(modem) and
knows how fast the line should be? I think that it can be possible,
because the only thing that needs to be transfered is the movement
each player makes, and if the number of players is limited to, say
10 at a time, that shouldn't be a problem.
Any ideas?
Bye,
Omri
