GameSpy Arcade is the (free) service that you will use to join others in online Web
Racing sessions. Please refer to the “Web Racing via GameSpy Arcade” section for
more details on GameSpy Arcade and Web Racing.
GameSpy Arcade will launch NetAthlon 2 for Bikes when you join an online session.
You can specify the degree of automation that NetAthlon 2 for Bikes will use to connect
to the session you join, load the course and start the session. Click on the GameSpy
Settings button on the NetAthlon 2 for Bikes main screen to access the GameSpy Arcade
(Web Racing) Launch Settings screen. The following is a list of settings you can change
on this page:
Joining a Session, Starting Point – Select what you want NetAthlon 2 for Bikes to do
once it connects to the online session. The first option will make NetAthlon 2 for Bikes
stop at the GameSpy Arcade Web Racing Settings screen. From there, you can either:
• Select your name in the list of players and enter a Start At distance.
• Select another person’s name in the list of players to start next to that player once the
course loads.
If you select the 2
nd
option, NetAthlon 2 will automatically load the selected course and
start you next to the first person in the session. If there is no other person in the session,
you will start at the beginning. If you select the 3
rd
option, NetAthlon 2 will
automatically load the selected course and start you at the beginning of the course.
In most cases, you will want to select the 2

in the session”. By selecting this option, NetAthlon 2 will always start you next to
another live rider without you needing to access your keyboard or mouse.
Joining a Session, Voice-over-Net – Select whether or not to use Voice-over-Net during
an online session. If you select the 1

once it has connected to the session, asking if you want to use Voice-over-Net (only if the
session host has enabled Voice-over-Net). If you select the 2
nd
option, NetAthlon 2 will
always enable Voice-over-Net without prompting you first. If you select the 3
rd
option,
NetAthlon 2 will never enable Voice-over-Net. You will want to choose the 3
rd
option if
you do not have a headset microphone.
Hosting a Session, Session – Select what you want NetAthlon 2 for Bikes to do when
you host your own online Web Racing session. If you select the 1

for Bikes will stop at the GameSpy Arcade Web Racing Settings screen. On this screen,
you can choose the course and path, the number of laps, the race distance and starting
point. If you prefer to set the course, path, etc. before you host a session, you can select
the 2
nd
option and NetAthlon 2 for Bikes will use the currently selected course, path, etc.
and automatically load the course when you click on the Host a Session Now button.
