I'm assuming LAN play is fine with the altered courses, so long as all the instances are running the same altered course, but has anyone tried it? And if there's going to be a randomiser of some sort, have you thought about syncing it for LAN play? Or maybe allowing custom but not random in those cases...

Lan play is not fine in the main game, so there's no way its fine in the altered courses. Lan play is broken...

You mean it d-syncs visual position of other player cars, and the timers go a bit out of sync? It runs though, and your own car always drives fine. This is on vanilla - does FXT change anything? From memory you can't go with the faux-arcade startup, you still have to go through the main menu's, but i thought that was an option..? I'm no longer running FXT myself, but hoping to again once the next version comes out :)

Well yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Technically it works, but who wants to play with another person when there car is flickering on and off and hopping around the screen, plus sometimes the timer thing screws up and one of the players can't finish if I remember correctly. That's kind of the whole point of LAN is seeing your rival. Otherwise you might as well just play with another person on a totally different PC and press start at the same time and see who finishes first... Its nothing to do with FXT its the PC version in general, the LAN is just fudged up, one of my biggest disappointments with the PC version.
I have yet to get the Teknoparrot version working in LAN either. Only versions that works are the Xbox ports with system link and 2006 is super expensive, not to mention the fact that it just looks muddy compared to the PC version and the Arcade version on Teknoparrot.

Well, i don't find it that bad. It's perhaps not for serious competition due to the flaws, you'd want to record results on singleplayer for that, but the LAN mode is a really nice addition to a 2-player setup along with other games like Daytona, SR3, etc.
Though yes, i 'd like to get the TP version into network to try it out. I haven't yet, and it's not good to hear you're having issues. I'll give it a crack one day, but the thing about TP is that all the information is already buried and it will only be worse the longer i leave it :(

I didn't test a lot, but from what little I did test lan, the less network equipment between the two machines and the more similar the hardware (particularly the network card) the better. I did have de-syncs, but it wasn't like that every race.
