Yeah, this'll be a great sim, and I'll buy the thing, but the lack of
the 14-mile Nurburgring is a SERIOUS flaw. Is this a way to sell yet
ANOTHER "Track Pack"? It's aparently a licensing issue, which is
unfortunate, but still...

So I'm a little pissed, but I don't want to be unfair.Let's hear from
some Papy/Sierra guys in response.

See my post titled "No 'Ring in GPL ??????".  You will understand that there
is reason for what the track may not get into the full-product.  If the
track authorities of Nurburgring don't want to put the track in the
simulator (for reasons who are out of my knowledge), It will not be in it.
Be sure that Papyrus is making the best they can to make GrandPrix Legends
the best simulator on the market.

We all know that they want all perfection, and be sure that Mr. Kaemmer
want's to have the track in the title.  Since the track is modeled already
from semi-official sources, they are only waiting for the licensing.

Oh and I don't think you will have an official answer from somebody at
Papyrus on rec.autos.simulators, so hop into the Forum at
http://gpl.gamestats.com/   and check it out.  It's the best place for
serious discussion about the 1967 Formula1 season, and the actual game. All
this with the interaction of Mike Lescault, who works for Papyrus.

Hey, I would make a good PR guy ;-)

Whoa, hold on there - who said there was no Nordschleife in GPL? The
current status is that nothing is announced, neither a "Yea" or a
"Nay", and anything beyond that once again falls into the "uninformed
speculation" category.

Well, so far it isn't even an issue, since nothing is known. It's
certainly a couple of Ollie North's short of a ***.

Around here?! Don't hold your breath. Perhaps try asking over on
http://www.racesimcentral.net/ in the GPL forum - if deals are finalised you
may get a comment from Mike Lescault or Doug Arnao who are fielding
questions over there.

Cheers!
John

Heya John,

I think now it's a "semi-official" answer...

The 'Ring and Silverstone are listed in the track record of GP-Legends.  I
think it's a good answer now ! (but I recall seing LasVegas in the N2 demo
AFAIK).

Btw, the new track.txt files are VERY well done.  Plenty of information,
tweaking it is very easy and you can do plenty of things (more than the
Castrol Bike simulator).

The AI has new abilities, such as alertness, experience, smoothness,
quickness, hype (!), aggression and qualifying !! Whoa !
