ARCA Sim Series Pre-Release hits the net

[NRTServers]

Afternoon all:

 

ARCA SIM Racing Pre-orders are now available with guarantee delivery on March 01/08

 

We have put purchase links on both our sites NRT and Redline Servers

 

http://www.nrtservers.com

http://www.redline-servers.com

 

 

As some here know, for 21 months NRT and now Redline Servers have been the only server company in development of this new racing simulation “ARCA Sim Racing”.

 

That is why we formed and became involved in the GSP market.

We have supplied the beta testing servers, streaming media servers, and will provide the lobby interface servers as well as help in support of this new racing title

 

Scott, Carl and I have traveled countless miles with the developers traveling to ARCA events and tradeshows. Spent morning to night on voice communications software and will be the FIRST fully sanctioned online simulation ever released. From Series (ARCA) Car manufacturers, tracks, major sponsors and real life drivers

That we hear about daily if you are a race fan. As well as online race leagues, that are established in the online racing community.

 

There is also a major prize to one lucky winner of a $2500.00 simulation cockpit on the pre-order side of things.

For GSP providers we have tried to help us all by changing the way we can use the title to sell to our clients all it takes is a established company letterhead to be able to re-sell with one copy and we can help you with obtaining what you need to do that.

See below for an excerpt from the license agreement:

 

Rent a server without a fully licensed version of the software for each server rented.* (Must be approved by the Sim Factory LLC to use the dedicated server on multiple machines with only one purchased copy of the title.)

 

Server Testing

 

We have tested the software on various server configs, from Intel P4 to quad cores

From 1 game instance to 10 game instances with 42 car fields, client side and server host interfacing, installation and bandwidth I think all will be pleasantly surprised at CPU usage and server performance. At present, there is no Linux version, but we will be pushing for that platform later.

 

The title will sell for $49.95 + shipping and pre-sales are intense since announcement.

 

I hope you will consider adding this to your titles offered, the time dedication alliances that have been formed in the real and online racing community are if not impressive…unheard of to date. If any of you folks are planning to attend speed week or the Daytona 500 this year Please look us up or contact me…we will be there letting the general public and racing community see 21 months of development. In addition, get a first look at what we feel will be the Simulation to beat for a long time to come.

 

See you in Daytona

Will there be a seperate dedicated server component Dave? Or will the server be run from the file on the game CD(s)?

[NRTServers]

Once the game is installed in gameinstalls, It will work the same as any other server side game if I understand what you are asking correctly there is a dedicatedserver.exe

[NRTServers]

Iwe will be working to provide a scaled down server install that will be downloadable with proof of purchase for GSP's only that have requested an open licence...more info on that to come

[DougK94]

I will definitely be ordering this for myself to play, and will probably check to see about hosting it too

 

I loved the Papyrus NASCAR series and this looks like the best thing for sim racing since then

[ECF]

Thanks for the info Dave.

 

Good luck with your new venture!

[NRTServers]

What I would like to know....by requesting a one copy end licence...that does help us all...correct...I had to talk and work hard for this one at no extra cost

[swish]

Looking good! This title looks promising and I know ill load it up!

 

Keep us informed as the dates get closer

[DougK94]

I just got this game this weekend and have barely stopped playing it. If you like racing games, you will love this It reminds me a lot of the old Papyrus NASCAR series, EA and the other wanna be's cannot hold a candle to it for racing simulations.
