I'm not*** on RL, I check the website every once in a while to
see if there has been an update (every few weeks or so, which is what
I would class as a good period between news updates).
Also, there seem to be a disproportionate number of fanboys who won't
accept anything bad written or said about RL. They are the ultimate
*** fans of something they have never played or even seen, of a
developer who has never published a title. These people deter me from
the forums, for example, a quick look through today sees articles
about the 3 month lack of news signalling that it's done, being tested
and will be with us in days!
(In fact, my search of the west-racing.com forums leads me to believe
that Doug is one of these fanboys, although I can't back that up
because I was only there for a few minutes. Sorry Doug if that's wrong
or it's a different Doug ;-).
The company that always pops into my head is id software. There are
always things they can do to their engines to make them better before
they ship, John Carmack is always a generation ahead of the
technology, but they ship on time, rake in loads of cash with which to
spend developing 'what that game should have been'. The problem with
developing until you have the best product is simply the fact that the
goalposts move faster than you can, so you will *always* have
something else to do before it ships. Outcome? It doesn't ship, ever.
It happens a lot in software engineering.
The Wests need to say 'whatever we have at mm/dd/yy, we ship, then we
develop version 2'. Until they do that, I fear that RL will disappear
up its own exhaust pipe.
Yup - same one.
You either believe them - or you dont.
I've met them, know how much they're ploughing into this, and happen to
trust them
Other people dont.
Eitherway - waiting doesnt hurt anyone

It was also mentioned that they aren't being public with a lot of things, so
they don't repeat the disappointment with the hyped whatever that other game
was called :)

If you dont - you assume they're not.
It's all the same thing really

Wow, what incredibly deep thinking that is. And I always thought sim racers
were such shallow types.
Master Doug, what other teachings have you got to help me get through the
rigours of day to day life.;-)
*Yawn*
Thanks for your contribution to the sim-racing community
Is it?
One might believe their intentions are honest and that they "talk" is
real... but does that mean that one must believe that their
"dreams"/visions/etc. are realistic??
There's a difference between believing someone or - believing
*in*someone....
Just my ? 0.02

To believe they're being honest - one must assume it is realistic.
If it is not - then they are not being honest
This is a very very silly argument - thats for sure
