WSC - give me facts!

I cant belelive how all people go talking about WSC all the time.

This is one of the few games that have promised LOT more then it has
delivered.
All what we know about the game is just pr-talk from the west brothers, and
all
we have seen is a rolling demo of some sportscars running around a track.

It will be the best carsimulation ever... why? cause the west says so.. ok..
then i must
think that too then?

Can we have some facts instead?, who has tested this game? how much did the
game really delivered then? how about physics?.. did you test different
types of cars?
how about sound?.

And they complain about the physicsmodel in other games, and say "WSC is
much better then that game on tires, suspension, aero" ok.. but how do you
know that? "cause i talked to West about it" ok..

valid point there. So therefore, i ask everyone here who have actually
tested the product to make a review of it. I know some guy tested it.. so
come on.

Apparently not... ;-(

I think I've officially lost hope.

I 'lost hope' long ago, mild enthusiasm and borderline interest has died
also, I now consider WSC to be firmly entrenched in the 'Nebulous Entity'
catagory of software otherwise known as Vapourware.

I'm hoping to make a full post with as much as I know later today.

However - be assued that WSC is VERY MUCH alive and well, and being upped to
DX9 as we speak.

WHY!!?!?!?

Its already been delayed once for Voodoo glide to dx8 :(
I dont care about it being DX9 or not, no card out yet supports it anyway.
*sigh*

It looks good enough anyway, even in Glide for me to want it, just the
physics
I care about.. i guess they have implented lots of new features since the
first releasedate 2years back then.

Well the Wests are still actively working on it, that much I do know.
On the other hand, time has progressed and F1-2002 seems a serious
difficult target to beat, at present.

Hi Doug,

what time would that be? And time zone? To have some *real*
news of WSC's current status would be great!

Thanks in advance,

uwe

Well if people such as yourself would stop bringing it up then maybe people
would forget about it.

Forget about it, the thing is vaporware.  It ain't never going to be
released and was just one big joke intending to fool those who could be
fooled.  :)

Something to do with Empire the fact they dont like WSC as its to complex,
and to small'a market (GPL), so wests are as far as i know trying to get
Empire of there back with TIR, (which isnt WSC), hopefully then they can go
solo again and develope and release WSC on there own, the delays have all
occured due to publishing rights and signing the wrong the deal...I
believe...

From recent grapevine news I feel we will see WSC in its full glory, but not
for a while, by which time DX9 will be the norm id imagine...

As for why i feel WSC will be the be all and end all, we had the pleasure of
Chris West at the LAN in Holland a year or so back, very interesting talking
at length...

Right - basically what I wanted to say I cant say due to legal issues.

Believe what you WANT - but WSC is alive and well. If you dont want to
believe that - fine - but I'm sure you'll be first in line to get it when
it's released

As you can see you can see in my other post - unfortunately what I wanted to
say I'm not allowed to.

If that's vapourware - then it's VERY VERY strange vapourware
