Man, just looking at the WIPs on rfactor central (esp. Fedex CART World Series 1998)
is not going to make that any easier in the future... ;)

It's odd how downloading files on the net just doesn't FEEL like
stealing.

Anyway, at least in my case there's no stealing. I own both sims.
Of course, making sims mod friendly also invites swapping parts
between sims. This was/is going on for ever in the FPS genre.
And nobody gets into panic mode because of it. As soon as the next
sim is released with a better physics/graphics implementation, we
all are going to buy it again...

Theres not a 67 add on is there..?
I have the finale for 79 F1 !
Releasing sims based on a single series is bound to limit the appeal,
but if it is now the de facto standard by adding improved weather, AI,
support for the latest FFB wheels or just a set of working wipers then
it will become the base for other series to be converted. Until of
course the next version with puddles comes out based on another series.
Having said that the enthusiast group that can be arsed to download and
install all these conversions probably own every sim known to mankind
anyway. Either way I think there is *** all effect on sales be it up
or down and if someone really wants to simulate racing GT cars but
doesn't want to pay for GTR2 there is far wider general knowledge of
how to go about it than importing *some* of its capability into another sim.
Piracy is a general problem that does effect revenue, but
interchangeability of content (not the game engines) between sims by a
small group of enthusiasts who are a core group of purchasers seems to
be considered as criminal acts by some when I really don't believe the
vendors would be concerned.
I purchased RACE which in its current form is now just sitting on the
shelf. Unlike GTR2 which has the excellent V8 mod to overcome my
personal view on the shortcomings of the sim, I don't see it changing. I
will now think twice before buying another locked ISI based sim.

I might feel bad about getting the download except that I placated myself
with the thought that this will make up for the money I "lost" on GTR (1).
I paid for that and it never really did what it was sold to do -- ie: online
racing - net code sucked - practically useless.
So - although I typically agree with your view... not this time. ;)

Not entirely true. A truly good restaurant that wanted to keep your
business WOULD offer a substitute meal. Of course, if you cleaned the
plate, then I wouldn't expect that kind of response. But should I eat
2-3 bites and find the taste awful or the meal ill prepared, then most
places would try and placate you.
In the computer world, where it's too easy to buy, copy and return a
software title, it's not as clear cut. I seem to recall, for GTR, that
Simbin would refund your money if the product was returned to them. I
checked the manual for the game and it's not there, so perhaps I read
it on their forums when the game was still new and the complaints were
frequent. Or perhaps, I imagined the whole thing!
Simply put, the *** industry needs a way to allow "taste tests" of
the FULL version of games. IF a particular game is not what I
(you..anyone) expected, I should be allowed to return it, like a pair
of pants or a book. I don't seem to recall a huge outrage that book
sellers are losing their shirts because ppl. buy a new book, read it
and return it.
The company that finds a way to successfully do this, will be VERY
popular. rFactor is the closest I think. 10 day refund policy. Good
deal, IMO.
