You sure it didn't happen when the power was cut from your trailer?

Cheers,

Pity you didn't install it on your C:\ drive buster. Any chance you could
sort of not post here at all? I'd really appreciate it.

I guess the guy was right.

From the website:

"We are very sorry to announce we had, as many found, a major bug with the
install of the MOD and have to solve the issues. An update is in the works
and soon hopefully a return."

I believe a few apologies to this gent are in order...

  Hehe, was wondering when this would be noticed.  Had to have a few spout
off before checking the facts though.  Seems to happen on a regular basis
here, hehe.

Me thinks the "bug" is more likely to be the actual installation routine.
Besides some users' inability to even complete the installation, there's
also the problem of it hosing the NR2003 installation if you try to install
GTP on top of it.  If the bug were as large as wiping out an entire drive, I
would think (hope) they'd issue a big fat warning.  Heck, I can't even find
a shortcut to uninstall though there are a few executables in the GTP
directory that look like they're it.

Anyway, buster's contributions to RAS have been limited to random bits of
flaming, so I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt.

This reminds me of a story about a boy who cried "Wolf".

Sorry buster.

WRONG. How can there be an uninstall bug when there is no actual
uninstall routine/program in the mod? To uninstall the mod, all you do
is delete the Redline GTP folder.

Please check your facts, people, before feeding the trolls. I'm sure
we'll know more about the "major bug" in a few days time, but I'm 100%
certain it's got nothing to do with uninstalling the mod.

I just think some of the responses were a bit ubrupt and not really
necessary.  I prefer civility.

Jesus Larry, look at who posted (in all caps no less) the bullshit.  one guy
that everyone can reasonably doubt, knows squat, and reads less.

Still doesn't excuse the abrupt rudeness of some of the respondents.

"I'm going "on and on about it" becuase I don't usually finish making a
statement whilst in mid-sentence.
However, in your case I'll ma"

in response to this harmless comment:

"What more do you what him to say? Or do you just enjoy hounding people?
I do agree with you BTW, in the most part, but I can't see the point in
going on and on and on about it."

Let's face it, you are a ***ing hypocrite, Bruce. Google threw up many
more examples of you 'going for the jugular'.

Hypocrite? Perhaps, but I don't think the situations are comparable.

At least my education gave me a vocabulary consisting of more than
four-letter adjectives.
