He has been caught cheating more or less every night and on every server in the last 2 months.
The site that hosted codecheck (http://www.nascarsimcentral.com/) went down about a year ago I think and never came back, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any site that picked it up.

What does code check do exactly? The one program I've seen work (but who actually knows how well? <BG>) was race inspector. A league I was in started using it.... Suddenly drivers quit... and they were the ones winning! Who'd thought! Are there any good leagues left that use this? I don't mind getting beat....heck, I expect to lose more than I win, but I'd like to make sure the playing field is level!

Codecheck is not an anti-cheat software; it is basically a database that contains information about which Sierra accounts have been used with which CD keys and vice versa. This allows everyone to find out who a driver that uses a random nick name and appears to be dodgy actually is.

Thanks a lot for the new link btw.

I don't think codecheck works any more. Certainly not new ones. I just tried several id's and the only one it found was last used in 01/2006.

Anyway, come August, it won't matter

trivial,

I'm out of the loop a little, but what is coming in august. Please don't laugh if this sounds like a dump question. I hate to read and I just don't keep up with the sim racing news.

In general i would say, that unrealistic laptimes is a sign (after a few years the top drivers have set a "limit" on each track). Also unrealistic high corner and straightaway speeds or an impossible acceleration can show you that something is wrong. I think you can also see in the program replay analizer if someone uses the so called "weather cheat" in case you get his replay (you can also see corner g-forces etc. with that program i think). I might be wrong on that...

I found another hack 3 or 4 days ago at a sierra pocono race. funny to see how he lifted on the frontstretch to make it not look like a hack. In the end he still wasn't able to beat me even with 10 mph more speed on every straight .

Or is anyone able to run 185 mph on the s/f line at pocono in race trim at 70 clear conditions??

I've been reading all the threads about "Cheating". (Hacking) I'm with the NSRO, and we have "suspected" hackers. It's one thing to have 10-15 drivers within 1 sec of each other (actually it's alot closer than that. 1/100's, and 1/10th's) , yet the pole sitter is 5 mph faster than those 10-15 drivers. The track was "Infineon". Pole sitter ran away it. Darn near lapped the field. At Watkins Glenn, same thing. Postion's 2 thru 12 were a scant .700's of each other, yet the same guy was 4 mph faster than the field. He lapped the field with "no yellow's". I've seen where these so called "hackers" can be caught on "replay analizer", I just havn't been able to use it properly. Any help from anyone would be great. (I finish'ed 7th by the way, I had a great run at the Glenn, lmao) Thanks all of you. For the "set up" help, and the info I get from here.

John

Calling that guy a hack is just plain ridiculous to say the least, the whole field is more than 4 seconds off what would be a good lap time, so it is obviously easy for someone who is 'only' 2 or 3 seconds off to win by miles.

Sounds like the good old Sierra rule, anyone that runs under 1:14 on both RCs must be hacking, eh?

1:10's in qual and 1:11's in races have been pretty much run now for 2 years or so, as Volker says just because the field isn't strong doesn't mean the guys that are winning are hacking. If myself, volker or any number of pretty good guys ran that race they would of lapped everyone too, including the guy that won the race judging by the times run.

When will the truth be revealed? stay tuned for the next time LxMartini shits out of his mouth.

Thanks for the reply's. I still don't feel real good about the answers. I realize some people have the ability to drive alot better than others. I can accept that 100%. There are other factors and scenerio's that happend in the two race's in question. I simply mention'd the one. There are situations that occured in the race's which made us suspect something other than good driving, and good set ups that allowed for a "blow out" victory.
