You can check the latest development update (posted in January) at
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
very much in progress, they're currently slaving away very *** the game
and a lot less online then before, so that's a good sign. Also, some people
speak about a 'gagging' order, but that's not been the case for at least a
month now. They have two new producers, who are very willing to help out
websites at the moment, that's why that development update ended up on our
site as well.
I think it's a bit harsh claiming this is vapoware, as the game has always
been planned for Q2 2001 and has been moved to Q3 2001. A 3-month delay
isn't that much in the *** community. You're not seeing much new
screenshots at the moment, because the West Brothers have worked on a lot of
seperate things and they're currently putting them together. So there wasn't
much new stuff to show the past couple of months (while work DID go on of
course).
So, I hope this answers your question and clears up some of the confusion. I
never got the idea that the game wouldn't be released or that it would be
released in two or three years time instead of this year. Have been
following the development on a weekly basis.

Hi!
I don't think so. Let me remember about a nice little GPL tool that was to
be released the forthcoming night and we never saw it. Recall its name? Does
'GPaL' mean something to you?
Oh no, now I've wakened the titan again *runshisassoff* *vbg*

I rather wait some more untill the game is finished than to see a game
released while it's not ready (Nascar Heat, Nascar 4).

What was it with Battle of Britain by the way? I thought about buying
it, I read a couple of good reviews, but it also has some big
problems?

Sorry to have to correct you on this, but so far every screenshot from WSC
has been taken directly from the game :O) No fakeing or touching up at all,
as I hope anyone who has seen the game at E3 or ECTS can back me up on this
one :O)
