Someone remember him???? I don't think that Dave Noonan is. This guy devoted part of his life to make SimRacing good. His converter were free and we all were proud of him. He should also.. This person had great courage of spending time and passion to make SimRacing racers HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY! by publishing FREE! the converters. He's my SimRacing hero more than anyother and we should all respect him and BOYCOTT the Icr2 to N2 converter. In 2 weeks everybody will have the converter on their web site so why pay for it. Even now a great guy who wants to make people HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY!HAPPY! published the converter in a newsgroup. He's a heck of a great guy. It's my opinion. Capitalism is shit. It's my opinion. Long live to free cars, setups, utilities, etc.!!!!!! What would you say if I would charge 10$ US for the Indianapolis track for Icr2??????. No. I'm not the "$$$$$$ always $$$$$$" type of guy. Remember Gerhard. Remember... Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) SPEED- Cars, WC, BGN, Trucks, IROC, utilities and more... SPEED- http://www.sim-speed.com/~speed |!

Long live to free cars, setups, utilities, etc.!!!!!! You, sir, are a blistering idiot (as Arturo from Sliders would aptly put it). I've got some news for your slow brain: by discouraging people like Dave from making sim addons you cause just one effect: less sim addons will be created. I'm sure Dave Noonan will never bother writing another one, and with all the grief he's gotten over this I can't blame him. All you're accomplishing with your pathetic whining is *damaging* the sim racing community be discouraging honest programmers from being involved in it. Joe

Welcome to my k....oh, forgot, can't have a killfile with AOL. Maybe I'll just write an add-on and sell for 10 bucks to give you more stuff to boycott.
No. If it had, nobody would bother to buy commercial Agent. ymenard was one of the people who made me buy Agent. I've never regretted it. >>I wish I had a killfile -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome. \ (Not necessary if you're posting from Europe.) wopr"at"stud.uni-sb.de \ To contact me by e-mail, remove the final "2" from \ the reply-to: address.

With all due respect, discouraging those who write utilities for profit is not damaging the r.a.s. at all. Someone will write a free converter and will charge nothing. That's the way things work around here. "..discouraging honest programmers..." Why would an honest programmer be discouraged by someone complaining about having to pay for a utility? I could agree with that if the r.a.s was historically a place to hawk utilities. It isn't, though. It's a big myth around here that anyone is indispensable. People come and go, they leave their mark in the form of advice, utilities or both and move on. Behind them the vacuum fills and others create. As repetitive as a Daytona post is the one where people cry "..you're going to scare (insert favorite utility maker, Software representative, webmaster) away!!". Some do go away. The utilities and support just keep on coming though. I'd like to think of the r.a.s. as Mr. Carver does, as a community where people share ideas, programs and tech advice for the love of the sims. Those who share the utilities for free have no reason to be discouraged by someone whining about paying for them. The ones who charge may, indeed, be discouraged. However, as I said before, someone will create the same program and distribute it for free. And this makes that programmer no less honest. Regards, Gavel

<snip> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <snip> Uhhh, not to start a political debate or anything, but I believe any fan of motor racing would have problems living in a completely non-capitalist world. If I am not mistaken, the vast majority of the motor racing series' that people actually care about are funded with the results of capitalist "greed". At least that has been my observation here in the US. And whenever I watch F1, Winston Cup, CART, IRL, Touring Cars, etc., they all seem to have one thing in common -- advertising! That's what pays the bills. I haven't heard, but is Fidel Castro sponsoring a Winston Cup car next season? So whether you agree or disagree with capitalism, if you enjoy the top levels of motor racing, you are probably benefitting from its spoils. Just my two cents worth . . . --Marcus

> "..discouraging honest programmers..." Why would an honest >programmer be discouraged by someone complaining about having to >pay for a utility? Because honest programmer's usually get paid for an honest day's work, that's why. In an extremely limited way. Most of the racing utilities I want just aren't available at all. Like track editors, or new tracks for example. Why aren't they available? Well, probably because they are too complex and too much work to implement as an unpaid hobby. And given the hostile reaction around here to anything beyond hobby-scope, I can't blame programmers for avoiding these larger projects. Thats one it is, and someone choosing to charge for a particular utility does not change that in any way, shape or form. No they won't - the only utilities that will get created are simple, low-end ones that people can afford to do as hobbyists. Joe

Right, that is true. But, there are alot of talented drivers out there that no one ever sees unless they go to their home town tracks. These guys work a regular job and spend their own hard earned money to buy a beater and fix it and go racing on the the weekend with it. They don't even expect to get enough money to pay for the night's overhead when they win. It's all for the love of the sport. Turn back the clock and see where NASCAR came from. The same thing. Of course the "mill" has ground out some great drivers. Dave Marcis is holding on by the shoelaces of his wing-tips. That and alot of charity from some of the well financed teams. He is the last of a breed. Even Alan Kulwicki almost faded from the scene due to lack of funds. That is sad. In a very microscopic way, I think that is what is "bothering" some people about what they perceive is happening here. Of course there are as many sides to this issue as their are readers and posters in r.a.s. Some are just cheap, some are just plain idiots, some are idealists, and some just don't give a damn and wish we would shut up! : Just my two cents worth . . . Have we collected enough pennies yet to buy the converter for the newsgroup? ;-) If not, throw my $0.02 into the pot! -- **************************** Michael E.

Thank You ! Yeah I think so. The Banana Republic Yugo <g> Makes me wonder, all the whining I hear in RAS. Did Gerhard leave because of these people <never satisfied always wanting more more more more more>. That's my 2 cents.
