rec.autos.simulators

The track editor is not a very large download. Uncompressed it will probably
be around 1-2 megs and compressed it might be .5 to 1 mb. I'm not sure how
big the patch is.

Thanks

+AD4-Anyone care to comment on my proposition that Microsoft replace v. 1.0 CD's
+AD4-for those loyalists who bought the +ACI-unfinished+ACI- version of the game?
+AD4-
+AD4-
+AD4APg-In response to those who are critical of Microsoft for releasing CART:PR
+AD4APg-before it was finished (like we have never heard of that before), and who
+AD4APg-think that Dean's participation in r.a.s. wasn't up to***(like all the
+AD4APg-companies have done better), I snip this from a reply post I sent earlier:
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg-More importantly, since the Microsoft CART reps. have diligently addressed
+AD4APg-our queries and concerns here on r.a.s., will Microsoft itself support
+AD4-those
+AD4APg-of us loyal customers who have already bought version 1.0?
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg-By that I mean if all the great new patches and track editors and so forth
+AD4APg-(which is more than CART:PR's competitors have ever provided) add up to a
+AD4APg-mammoth and inconvenient download, will Microsoft provide new (or
exchange)
+AD4APg-CD's with the updated version?  If they are willing to do that for the
+AD4-loyal
+AD4APg-early customers (in exchange for our valuable feedback to improve the
+AD4-game),
+AD4APg-then we should do nothing but congratulate them.  They have demonstrated
+AD4APg-more willingness to listen and improve their product than any other sim.
+AD4APg-maker so far.
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg-Support the loyalists as much as the later buyers and I will be happy.
+AD4APg-Happy to have a better improved product and happy that finally there is a
+AD4APg-company making a driving sim. that understands what we want.  I wonder if
+AD4APg-Sierra/Papyrus, EA, Ubisoft, Eidos, and the rest of the laggards are
paying
+AD4APg-any attention?  If the patched CART:PR is as improved as we anticipate,
+AD4APg-combined with the track editor and other goodies, the other sims. will be
+AD4APg-long forgotten while people still enjoy the +ACI-Quake+ACI- of driving games.
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg-By the way, stop bleating about Microsoft and capitalism.  They are less
+AD4APg-capitalistic and myopically American than 95+ACU- of the large U.S.
+AD4-corporations
+AD4APg-in existence.

Most people tell, or see, the stories of their life the minute before they
die, as you, as a psychologist definately know.
Now that you've "unveiled the real answer to yourself" (as if I ever wanted
to know), does this mean you're going to shoot yourself tonight?
Or at least leave this newsgroup (since this ng seems to be all live you
got)?

Whether you have a valid point or not, I'm not sure I can judge. I
don't mind so much downloading and applying patches, but I've just
gotten used to it. Is it a hassle when you have to re-install?
Sure. Do you have to re-install all that often? I don't.

My opinion (as a consumer, as well as a former developer) is: be glad
for properly executed patches, and don't worry so much whether they
come over your SCSI cable or serial cable. :-)
