Flame warPirated Indy track and a flame war

A user asked why a downloaded Indianapolis track appeared blue in Rendition ICR2. Robert called it pirated software, and the exchange escalated into insults and physical threats from the original poster. Other regulars condemned both the piracy and the behaviour.

Automated summary.

I have downloaded the Indy track from alt.binaries.simulators.auto and it really is the real track but I have run into a problem. The track is a light blue color. I am trying to run it with ICR2 rendition ready version that came with my intergraph card. It runs fine but this blue color is driving me nuts. I have tried running as is and with the convertor I got from "The Pits". I don't know if this is a converter problem or what. Idid have a little trouble running the converter. Was I supposed to over-rite the indyfiles or what? Has anyone got the track working with the Rendition yet? This track was posted by "MOSH!!" I noticed someone in this group also has posted it here. Is it already ready for use or do you need to convert it? If someone is interested in e-mailing me the track please feel Thanks, Richard

It's ready to use,just make an indy directory and copy the files to it. Works fine with my intergraph card. If your using the converter you have to rename the ind2icr.exe ( i think that's the file name) to indy2icr.exe so it doesn't try to overwrite itself. Perhaps if you called Papy tech. support... (just kidding)

You have a problem running pirated software, and you want us to help? Think about it... Does anyone else see something wrong with this, or is it just me?
Robert 15 Nov 1996#343829
That would make it easier for the police to find him.. Hope he does it.
Thats o.k. Robert. Thanks for ALL of your help. Got to go race Indy now ***. Your Indy friend, Richard
Robert 15 Nov 1996#343831
If you want it, pay for it. I have my copy. Bought it many moons ago. I play it, legally, whenever I wish. Guess what? No blue track. Wonder why? You can't find it to buy it? Boo hoo. I feel for ya, but I can't reach you.
Well Rob I have a perfectly running track running in SVGA at 30FPS with my Rendition. How much did you pay for the track? Richard=0.00 p.s. I would buy it if it were possible but you can't even get it from the company who produced the game anymore!! Now just becaue your a sucker don't be poughty with me. Mind your damn business. > > Thats o.k. Robert. Thanks for ALL of your help. Got to go race Indy now > > <another name for richard manning>. > If you want it, pay for it. I have my copy.

Robert 15 Nov 1996#343833
And this makes it ok? Mine runs just as well, same card. Paid for that too. Did you steal that too, or actually pay for it? How much did I pay? Don't remember. Whatever they were asking at the time. I have the original disks right here. Three disk set of the original ICR 1.0, two disk set of the Version 1.01 upgrade with expansion pack, one disk set of Version 1.03 with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Total price? Don't know. Didn't keep the receipts. Perhaps you would, perhaps you would not. Ever wonder why you can't buy it anymore? Probably a legal issue, huh? Poughty? Can't be that, whatever it is. And if owning original software makes me a sucker, then I guess I am one. Owning pirated software make you a thief. Guess you are one. Mind my business? In case you didn't know it jackass, when you and your other thieving friends rip the software companies off, they pass this off to those of us who buy it. So telling you that you are a thief, is minding not only my business, but my finances as well. Your idea of ' They don't sell it, so I'll steal it' is B.S.

Settle down kids. If you have a personal problem with Robert, please have the decency to express it through e-mail. There is no need to do so in the newsgroup for all to see. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Well well, i'm in the phone book look me up and come on over! Bring some friends though unless you can handle 6'2 220lbs. (Age 26). Come say that to my face . And know i'm not in the army at HAAF or Ft. Stewart. I happen to be a VP with a million dollar business here in Savannah at the young age of 26.

I apologize for starting this thread by calling a certain party a thief, then continuing to bait that person when he replied. I still believe that what that person did was wrong, but I should not have continued with the thread in public after noting the content of his replies. Did not mean to offend everyone, will try to play nice in the future. Email is still ok though, right? :-) Sincerely, Robert

Nah, he deserves it. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed it, but isn't it strange that a 26 year old VP that runs a million dollar business know anything about laws regarding software piracy? Or for that matter understand why Papyrus can't sell the software anymore? OTOH, it appears the boy genius has some problems with grammar also. Maybe that slips through the cracks when he logs on. :) David Range Sorry, I couldn't resist!
> Nah, he deserves it. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed it, but isn't mudslinging.

What have you done with your pathetic little life boy. Figures. That's how people like you get to be VPs, by thieving your way to the top. Either that or you "inherited" your position from Daddy. I really can't believe a VP of any respectible company would post so many "Conan-ish" messages. BTW what company are you VP for (if it's actually true). I want to make sure I never do business with such dumbasses. -Matt

God, you must be a transplant. Or at least I hope so. Pretty sad there are millions upon millions of users, and the one who admits to being a thief, is from my home town. And not even an intelligent thief at that. You sure your aren't from HAAF or Stewart, maybe? If you grow tired, shutup. Go back to the Who's Who, where you belong.
Hey Matt, ask you wife and mother what I specialize in!!!! Thet don't have any complaints!!

I see EVERYTHING wrong with that ENTIRE thread. This group sometimes sounds like one of those daytime talk (BS) shows... LJA

What have you done with your pathetic little life boy. Don't worry son. As you pass through puberty these feelings of rage and insecurity will wane. You may even begin to have self confidence. I know, I used to carry a chip on my shoulder too. As for your company, Let us know the name. I'm always interested in doing business with companies that have no ethics with regard to software piracy (stealing). Lastly, you want to know what I've done with my life? I'm ruler of the world and I've so cleverly disguised it that even you probably haven't realized it. Sorry to all, for posting this garbage. I'll say no more on the subject. Cya, Mike Radler

Radler, you are such a geek. Get a life. If he wants to pirate software software and talk about it, it's his business. If you don't like it, don't talk to him. Let me ask you this, have you ever recorded a song off the radio on a blank cassette? Give me a break. DaMan

It is not illegal to record a song off the radio, it is only illegal to give someone a copy of that song either as a gift or sale, and it is illegal to play that recording publicly. Same goes for recording movies off of the TV.

Hey what's all your problem with RManning, You don't all know that he's the one O.K. He's a good man. The one that don't want to be intelligent is Robert Johnson. It's know 1 week after the post and he's still harasing me (I think it's wrote like this) about the post. Come on. Break it off. Do something else. Go play at Halloween Harry and please stop. STOP. Thank's a lot, Good race at the Brickyard, Feel free to E-mail me if you have problem's with the Indy track. [===] Go R. Barrichello, go J.Gordon, go J.Villeneuve, go | ! | And all you that thinks that Jacques Villeneuve is |!| from Canada, your right!!
