Data distribution ideas

[reece146]

I'm kinda keen on the idea of automatic transfer of tracks & cars if they are selected. Use svn or whatever in the backend. Make sure that a proxy server setting is easy to incorporate. The nice thing about this is that everytime a car is updated, the selection screen can go out and query for new data if enabled.


There are a number of cars in vdrift that I would never pick due to lack of interest (FWD, the BMWs, Mazdas - a sizeable number). Would I try them in the future? Maybe, but if I have been playing the game for a number of months and only then download one or two new cars there is a deferred bandwidth savings in that manner.

I have run every track though only typically frequent a half dozen or so.
