Scott, will there be a patch anytime soon to fix the T6 AI at riverside and the
paintkit patch that paints all the front roof supports white?

damn, right. hey, scott - have you guys ever thought about charging, say
$200, for any sims (GPL, for example)? there are clearly many of us (as
witnessed by the tons of posts on RAS) who really like in-depth
as-close-as-you-can-get-to-real racing sims with plenty of fun cash
available for either computer upgrades or software. $200 is a drop in the
bucket when considering hardware issues, but we do it anyways. i for one
would gladly plop down 50 clams for even a single additional track in GPL.
$500 for something that is going to be used for several years is nothing. i
can't believe the ol' bitties that whine in here concerning something that
they purchased for $29 and will use for 1,000s of hours.

Papyrus Professional Driving Group (subdivision).

there ya go. a name free of charge from a marketing professional. cater to
the big boys. let the EA monkeyboys deal with the little kids. don't let
anybody fool you - the 'ring is worth $1,000 by itself. just think about it.
there are wackos right now, sitting in a fake car***pit with speakers on
their asses, driving like fools IN THEIR LIVING ROOMS!!!!! these guys would
eat alpo if it the choice was that or not having a state-of-the-art driving
sim at their disposal.

And just how much crack have you been smoking?

I guess the poorer people like me would be s.o.l. huh?
Just because $50 isn't much to you, doesn't mean it isn't for others.

You are talking out your ass!  You would be the first one to complain when you
dropped $500 dollars for a "GAME" and it did not meet everyone of  your
expectations.  I'd *** too, for $500 I could buy a old junker and enter
demolition derbies and still take something home.  Your post gives me the
impression that you have no responsabilities and that your mom and dad pay for
all your toys, food, clothes, shelter, and etc.  Paul
