Is it going to be a bunch of the familiar names here at r.a.s. getting all moist about old cars, and then racing them online a la GPL? Is that it? I hope there's more to it than that. David G Fisher

I hear Osama's been holed up in a cave waiting for this thing to come out. Which is good, since we won't have to see or hear from him until, oh, 2005. Maybe 1st quater 2006. Apparently they're recoding the physics engine and trying to work in DirectX 12. I think there's a radio show scheduled on 2/31/2004 to discuss features and what not.

I hope there's more to it than that. Is there more in life than that? I mean, I hate Ford, for instance, but give me a 66 Mk2 and I'm there. Jason
Really? I had heard they had completely given up on writing auto simulators, and had decided to start writing childrens books. Reportedly their first project was going to be a story based on the popular fable about the Emperor who had no clothes. If I live long enough, I might buy a copy for my great-great-great-great-grandchildren. > I hear Osama's been holed up in a cave waiting for this thing to come > out.

I really wouldnt count on it coming out for a while, there hasnt been any mention from any official source of an iniment release, just some form of news, and having seen PC Gamer where its stating that WSC has been canned Iam just keeping my fingers crossed for a hint of something fromt he ashes.

I hope there's more to it than that. People shouldn't race online? Do you REALLY think they're only going to race the older cars?

I've got a pretty good F1 title....But do you know what I use it for....??? To load up the FIA mod. You bet I"ll be looking for someone to build some old mid-series Can Am cars...(high winged Chappys and Mclarens and lolas) and I'm sure we'll find other things that suprise us...but..IF WSC panns out then we'll all be in hog heaven, til something else comes along. One thing I NEVER understood was when SCGT and Nascar Heat started getting mods, that people would waste time building F1 cars. With all the F1 titles available it seemed daft! But then I had an epifh ...err I had an epiphan....well I had a sudden burst of insight. The REASON folks built F1 cars for Heat, for N3 and other sims was so they COULD race em online...just about any fake mod was better than what we have now for F1 online. Hopefully someday that will change and we can all laugh about the silly WSC-F1 cars everybody built. dave henrie "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:m8KW8.111027$[email hidden]...

You don't race F1 cars online, you organize F1 parades. =) Jason On Thu, 11 Jul 2002 03:12:22 GMT, "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote:

The one common consensus that I have read from most everyone so far is how "great" it is gonna be, how it will be "this" and have "that". But how do we honestly know for sure? I ask this sincerely, and not as a flame either. It just sounds to me like everyone is putting a whole lot of "hype" into a game that they have no actual hard proof that it will actually live up to everything that everyone has heard. Do I hope it will -FINALLY- be released? Of course! Do I think it will be God's gift to sim racers everywhere? Nope. I think there will be issues with it, just as history has proven all other Games/Sims have had. Whether it be Bugs, Compatibility issues, Resource issues, FPS issues, etc. Et-Al. I am just trying to look at it realistically. Heck at this point I just hope that it -DOES- get released this time around. As I too have called it Vapourware, as it really has been -THEE- definition of Vapourware. Flame away if you want, as I know this will strike a nerve with quite a few people. But keep in mind that this post is not intended as flame-bait. - Isotrip� "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:m8KW8.111027$[email hidden]...
