MX Simulator

This is much more fair than having classes though.

2 megabytes per second or megabits? (megabits are 1/8th of a megabyte). So 2 megabits would be 250 kilobytes per second.

I only have 655 kB (kilobytes) per second, so far it has handled at least 5 people in my server (about 6 including me) and has run fine. I imagine 2 megabytes could handle at least 15.

Yeh I meant 2 megabits, so my max down/up speed is something like 250 kbps. And I also meant that when I'm playing elsinore servers with 11 players, I've had no problems with network lag. With my server, I think I've had max. 5 players simultaneously, and no lag problems.

Sorry for being so unclear with previous post.

Here's an estimate of the bandwidth a server will use depending on how many players you have. This is in bytes/second not bits.

Players bytes/second
1 3808
2 10624
3 20448
4 33280
5 49120
6 67968
7 89824
8 114688
9 142560
10 173440
11 207328
12 244224
13 284128
14 327040
15 372960
16 421888
17 473824
18 528768
19 586720
20 647680
21 711648
22 778624

32 1613824
33 1713888
34 1816960
35 1923040

37 2144224

39 2377440
40 2498560

So for 40 riders that's about 2,498.56 mB which is about 2.5 gB per second .

Going by that chart I should be able to run 20 riders in one server, I think... (I have 655 kB/s download speed). How much does upload speed play in this?

Those numbers are bytes not kilobytes. So 40 riders would be around 2.5 megabytes per second. That would be about 20 megabits/second.

It's almost all upload bandwidth. On each step every client will tell you its state, and needs to know the state of the other clients. So for 10 players it would be 90% upload and 10% download if you don't count the headers.

That flew right by me haha. That makes a lot more sense now. So now knowing the chart right, and upload plays a bigger role, I should be able to smoothly run about 12 or 13 riders. I think I have 200-300 kB/s upload speed.

that would be sikk if some how someone had a server that could run all 40...then it could be like a real natonal

That would require ridiculously fast internet and then people with extremely fast computers.

Im not sure but in theory would a lan setup (ethanet cables) be able to handle 40 riders?

would mxcr85 be number 1 and red plate shack

No mittocs is because hes the best no matter what, hes always gonna be #1 everyone else foes to #2

lol no serious because mxcr85 won lst year

No serious no one can beat Mittocs

I'll definitely run this series with this format. Always enjoyed it back in the MCM2 days.

they can beat mittocs but mittocs is amazing tho

So Mikey are you saying that in AMA Motorcross next year if James Stewart races he should get the number 1 plate because he is the fastest and he would have won it if he was there? LOL Racing is racing you still have to win to get the title!
