    good morning all,
    I was just trying to make a private lobby for me and a couple friends. I went to multiplayer, create lobby and give it a name and password and clicked start.....It says "Waiting". For some reason I thought I would be able to join before everyone else and run a few laps with the AI. I must be doing something wrong....any suggestions?
    Thank you

    You can log alone for practice or qualifing session, but if you select only race, you need more than one player to start session from the lobby.

    Thanks, I knew I was doing something wrong.
    So, If I choose race, someone has to join before I can join.

    You can join, but you can't start the race and the lobby keeps waiting for more players to join. But as I mentioned, you can start a practice session (even alone) and other players can join while you are in the track. In race it's not possible for obvious reasons.

    Okay, thanks for helping me figure that out. I'm now able to get on the track.
    Now for my next dilemma...lol.
    I'm running Formula Juniors at Kyalami, but no matter what I've tried so far it always starts practice at night. I've tried changing the start time to 13:00 hours....should be 1 pm in the afternoon but it's dark.
    I'll keep trying ...lol
    Later

    You have to set up practice/qualy/race starting time seperately for each session.

    Okay, thank you. I'm not used to the multi-player menu...obviously.
    I will look in to that.
    Have a Merry Christmas!!

    Been racing a lot this weekend and I have a other question...
    Is there an ini file somewhere that could be edited so that when you click "create new" it would come up with the correct personal lobby info already there?
    Thanks
