Tony West working on Virtual RC Racing

News that Tony West had done 3D work for the Virtual RC Racing sim prompted jokes about Racing Legends delays, hamster views and transport boxes. J. Todd Wasson, a lead developer of the RC sim, defended the West brothers, explaining Tony was contract help and that the brothers had turned down jobs to pursue their own project.

It's coming, it's coming... they just have to model the transport box for the cars first...

There's still some entertainment from the dynamic duo, well one at least. I guess if Tony's been working on VRCR there'll be a slight delay in Racing Legends.

I must have missed something. I guess I didn't get that issue of "The Life and Times of the West Brothers." -- _________________________ Todd Walker http://www.toddwalker.net _________________________
Well you must have read some issue to form the opinion you have, I mean you must know all the facts to call someone a 'Dolt', otherwise I guess the spirit of someone at least trying to do something is lost on you. OK they havnt had a title out for a while (seems thats about to change) but at least they are giving something ago instead on some people who just like to moan.

No, you missed something in that particular piece of news Andi refer to. Tony West has been working for Virtual Racing. I guess he has been paid and that makes it a job. Maybe short term but still a "real job". BTW: I wish I didn't have a "real job" and had more time to work on my rank. ;) -- Jone Tytlandsvik http://tytlandsvik.no mailto: firstname at lastname dot no

Not necessarily. If Bill and Bob build a house using their seperate, individual skills, Bob's job may take 2 years and Bill's only 6 months. If that's the case, Bill can do other things for a year and a half without delaying the houses'.. errmm... "release" ;-) at all. Actually, I had the same fear too when Tony started out. Not sure if/how much it's effected the "schedule" but suffice it to say there's still much coding to be done on Chris' end anyway :-) Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

The magazine, "The Life and Times of the West Brothers" was unfortunately cancelled by their publisher on account of it being too difficult to read and the Wests' simultaneous refusal to allow it to be produced under that name with language aimed at a third grade reading comprehension level. As a result, the Wests have now been blamed and ridiculed for failing to produce anything at all. Anyway, as the others pointed out, if you had actually read the article (actually just the first sentence) you would have known that "[VRC was] Created by a team of international game developers, including Tony West of West Racing" It mentions nothing of Chris, and it doesn't say "created by West Racing." I would be much more harsh if you didn't have the cutest baby picture I've ever seen posted at your web site :-) http://www.toddwalker.net/jalbum/nicole_bday/slides/CRW_1689%20(Large).html Awww... :-) Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

Some people believe that refusing high paying job offers (rather shocking ones to beat) to work for yourself after refusing to compromise a previous product when demanded by the publisher, taking all the risk yourself to make what you set out to make in the first place instead, is "moving on" at the highest level. I have to agree. Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

It's rather difficult to measure a hamster's "torsional neck spring rate" and code the resulting motion dynamics, hence the hamster view delay. Todd Wasson Racing Software http://PerformanceSimulations.com http://performancesimulations.com/scnshot4.htm

The jibes are generally in good humour, I am sure Chris and Tony have been around usenet long enough not to give a monkeys anyway. Despite my own occasional light hearted sarcasm aimed at the Westies I genuinely hope they succeed, if only for my own selfish desires for the best racing sim possible. If our own working lives were quite so visible I am sure we would all get a load of opinions on how to do it better!

I must admit to chuckling at some of the jibes :-) I especially liked the hamster view and transport box bits. I sent Tony the transport box remark and he said, "right, I'll get right on that." :-) What we really need is a box with a nice bag, although I think the zipper may be rather challenging to model...
