Not even mildly suprised. the regulars of R.A.S are not like the 999,900
other people who have bought the EA bi-annual drivel.

Maybe they want some kind of intermediate step, where you don't have to run
with aids (and feel all inadequate) but not have the razor sharp response of
the F1 cars. Sort of an overdamped, high-grip physics model. Yuk.

A fair point.....maybe mass genocide of the arcade moaners is in order. Its
the only solution :)

Hmmm, perhaps we should have an "adopt an arcade racer" program. Where
someone who is a relatively experienced sim racer finds someone who might
have slight arcade tendancies (strange I know!) and train (brainwash?) them
:). In turn they will adopt their own arcade racer and we can irradicate
their evil menace from this world......join me brothers! :)

Not for $50. For $500 they could. Which is probably less than they'd pay
for a good FF wheel, great graphics card, and the premium for a fast system
over an average one. But they'd never EVER pay that much for the piece of
software for which they would spend all that extra cash on hardware, would
they?

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
double-edged sword. It both emboldens the ***, just as it narrows the
mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the
*** boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no
need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry,
infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I
have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

I will be trying to integrate a little network code into my sim in the next
few months (thanks to a little help from a friend). I think i'll start to
realise what a miracle of networking GPL / n4 / n2002 are ;)
Thanks Randy - GPL is a masterpiece :)
Ash - Nurby league race on Sunday - eek!

KEYBOARD??
To properly use a keyboard to play AN F1 SIM, one must shove the keyboard up
one's ass. Good Grief. WTF?? KEYBOARDS??
Tell your EA rep to blow it out his ass, if they dumb this thing down it's
back to GPCrammond.

You're still the KING Randy!
