GT Legends has a release date already(October 2005), wtf is up with rFactor?
Simbin = a loose organiztion of over 60 people. GTL is a continuation of
previous generation Motor v1.x+
ISI, as somebody here pointed out, has probably less than a half dozen on
it's team. With most of the sim code written by one guy. rF is a least
v2.x of the Motor software.
dh
do you want a finished product or a buggy game?
cheers

you could just as easily say ISI is creating a mod on the engine
too..........thats just the way the ISI engine is, very open architechture i
guess you could say.
i have read that simbin got the gM2.0 engine mid to late last year in a very
stripped down form, so they are developing a lot of content themselves. from
memory they got the engine with most of the graphics content and are
developing most of the physics code themselves.

Nothing to it.
Brilliant.

"Just because GTL doesn't use the same exact netcode as rFactor doesn't mean
that they can't steal a few of the improvements for their network library.
They have some new net coders since GTR came out, some from DICE (made
BF1942)."
this is what i and many others can go on
obviously you have some behind the scenes, super secret, never before seen
information............which you may want to share or point us in the
direction of.........but probably not!

basically what i'm saying is
1. simbin dont have the 'balls and all' version of gMotor2
2. simbin are doing a lot of content themselves
3. GTL wont simply be a mod on top of the rfactor platfrom.
All the best, uwe

Agreed. We've got to have *something* to moan about, otherwise it
takes all the fun out of new releases :->
