Hey Mick,

SHUT UP!!!  And you wonder why AOL'ers have such a bad rep!

Can anyone tell me if there is a patch for the Paint kit problem. ie wrong
coloured airbox etc. also is there a patch for the disapearing car at Laguna
Seca. If these patches are available where can I get them from

This is a quote from an email sent to me by Ed Martin.
"The patch is going through testing right now.  We hope to have it online
sometime next week"

There folks is a positive response :-).

Let's hope that Sierra put it up as soon as possible, after all one of
their tech guys said that the patch for the paintkit would be put on the
web site about 2 weeks ago, and I may be blind (figuratively speaking),
but I can't find it :-)

Ok as long as you don't personally flame my butt. I agree... what a
dipshit.

: And this is *exactly* the reason we do not distribute this information
: normally -- Papyrus seems to have mis-predicted the release date for the
: patch, and now everyone's expectations have been falsely set. This has
: nothing to do with Sierra's ownership of Papyrus, just one person's
: mis-estimation, nothing more.

Sounds like "sticks and stones"... I know Rick's track record... and I
know Sierra's... humm.... I'll stick with Rick. This information though,
being released from Sierra/Bryan could show the dissention among the two
companies.

I will assume (not having seen it), that the promised patch will include
fixes to the Paintkit.  However, until then I have it available at my
website, URL's :
        http://www.teleport.com/~mcarver/autosim.htm
        ftp://ftp.teleport.com/users/mcarver/AutoSim/pkit102.exe

Can anyone with the new DOS/Win95/Mac version answer the second
question?

Has SIERRA died or what??? Where the Hell is the Patch?????

The yellow flag bug isn't fixed, but, after watching the sad end of the
Toronto Indycar race there's not enough emotion left to care about a
yellow flag bug.
