GPL2 confirmed!

Flame war'GPL2 confirmed' post based on unnamed source

Andre Warringa linked a Legends Central post claiming an unnamed insider had confirmed that Papyrus was making a GPL2, though the year was unknown. Most treated it as rumour and joked about whether GPL2 or WSC would appear first. The thread then turned into a bitter exchange between David G Fisher and Andre Warringa and ymenard over an earlier dispute about Jackie Stewart's views on GPL.

There is a big difference between Confirmed! (with exclamation mark) and "kind of a confirmation" :P Apart from that, I really hope the year would be 82 as some other rumours say, and no matter what year it is damned brilliant news! -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

What part don't you understand? :) ------ Folks, today I got kind of a confirmation that it�s indeed true that GPL 2 is reality!! That info does not come from a guy who knows a guy....and such. It�s directly from a guy involved that I can�t name here, as the official announcement will be done when Papy thinks it to be the right time. A �high ranking� guy from Sierra told me GPL2 is true, another guy from Papy just told me �I can�t comment�. I know this sounds somewhat cheesy to swallow this from me. But it�s the way it is. I really can�t give any names right now. ------ Andre > >-- >Olav K. Malmin >remove .spam when replying

I officially declare that I will start a David G. Fisher fanclub if the GPL2 news turns out to be untrue. Andre

LOL Well, I didn't think about that particular point. Let's go for this : GPL2 with 50's , 67, 72 and 82 car. Why should Papy stick with a single year?

It would be very nice it would cost 4x more and take 4x as long to do.

You are wrong. You apparently do not remember what Andre's post said. Let me refresh your memory so you don't make another mistake. Andre came here to r.a.s. on day in a giddy mood and said that all the Stewart/GPL comments had to be false based on a post he read at LC forum because........a poster there said Stewart told him he had never heard of GPL. Someone from Hyperstim posted a reply to Andre's post here at r.a.s. that his company had actually showed Stewart GPL on the hyperstim. So, Stewart has seen it. Therefor, Andre was wrong, which is what my stement below refers to.

Different people at different forums made similiar claims about what Stewart said on a British radio program concerning GPL's realism. Unless someone can give us a recording of that supposed statement, then it will always be debatable as to whether or not any of it is true. What isn't debatable is that Andre was wrong when he declared the debate was over based on what he read at LC. Which is what my initial post said in this thread. You were wrong in your reply to that post. Both of you..........wrong.

The conflicting stories about Sir Stewart's hallowed opinion of the absolute deliciousness of GPL merely point out that: 1) With JS's life and connections, with track-time in almost any car he likes a finger-snap away, is a computer game going to make a blip on his radar? 2) He's probably not going to sit down and try GPL and make an ass of himself, even if it is right in front of him 3) The wee Scot may occasionally enjoy some of his country's famous distilled beverages at any social occasion where he is cornered for an opinion Stephen "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GxDI7.14215$[email hidden]...

Wow. Here is your post (I can waste time searching google just like you can). You say Stewart never could of made the GPL/realism comments because "to settle this for once and for all, Stewart has never heard of GPL." Jon Crooke replied to the post below that Stewart had seen GPL because Crooke showed it to him. You were WRONG. Did you and ymenard get drunk together tonight or something? There was a rumour that Stewart once stated he didn't find GPL realistic, that the cars were much easier to drive in real life.. This 'statement' is quite often being used when it comes to the realism of GPL. Well.. to settle this for once and for all, Stewart has never heard of GPL. Quote from the GPLEA forum: posted 14-10-2001 20:28 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- While attending the 100 years of Ford Racing event today at the nearby Henry Ford Museum, I had a chance to shake hands and chat very briefly with Dan Gurney and Jackie Stewart. Both men were extremely kind. I was struck by how narrow Stewart's eyes were and how big Gurney's hand was when I shook it. After telling each of them how much their careers had inspired me, I asked each if he knew about GPL. Gurney said he had heard it was "very realistic" but had never seen or played it. Stewart said he had never even heard of it. When I told Stewart it was a recreation of the 1967 season, he sighed and said "I would be very easy to beat in my BRM." He went on to describe the H-16 as a "pregnant elephant." By the way, among the 100 race cars on exhibit, there was not a single Lotus 49. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Andre

Who cares, there is no doubt GPL is the most realistic open wheel sim, but it is widely known there are some faults with the tyre model especially at low speed and it is allot harder to drive than it should be. N4 (another sim you have a pathological hatred of) has an updated tyre model that is more realistic and has had lots of positive quotes about it's realism from Winston Cup drivers. But were talking about games run on home computers here nothing in the near future is ever going to be truly realistic.

I've said a hundred times GPL is an excellent sim. I also said N4 is an excellent sim, if you can stomach NASCAR. David G Fisher
Oh I see. Making a big, definitive statement that's wrong doesn't count as being wrong if you were only wrong for a little while before you admitted you were wrong. I hope you have a headache after reading that too. David G Fisher "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I think it's rather weak you left out the part where I myself wrote the same day about Stewart having played GPL. Now go answer that f1rc thread. 'There won't be an f1rc patch because ras says so and ras is allways right'.. for once in your life you were right david. Andre

Many other people say that too. But you've always said 'GPL isn't as good as many people make out'. I think you just disagree to be disagreeable. Gerry
