Yes.. after more than a year of silence. Except one 'say, whatever
happened to that GPAL thingy?' post on RAS.
I have heard about a december 2001 release of WSC from a couple of
'insiders' now.
I write down all those names on a list.
I will pay each of them a visit when WSC is not released this month.
You have just been added to my list.

Oops, sorry Frank... forgot to turn the subtlety switch off...

Since the first days of the project they told us it would be more then a
single series of a singular year. It was evident when the temporary car
list they released were really of every era and every type of motorsports.
I just don't see why it has to be "true-to-real-world" like you state :)

Hehe, I said 'hopefully'. I would be surprised too though. Someone
said they'd being working till 4am some day. That almost looks like an
attempt to make X-Mas. The D3D port is working, there are Max plugins
(but these may not be sold).
I don't know when the release will be, and I don't have any interest
in asking Chris about that, because he'll ofcourse not answer that,
but we do have occasional contact so that's why I know that he's still
working on it, and sometimes what he's working on. Biggest problem I
think at the moment will be getting licensing fixed.
If WSC doesn't come out by X-Mas, please note that Racer v0.4.9 will
be there before then. ;-)

Absolutely, now we have GEM+ and we can forget GPaL once and for all.
If nobody would ever mention GPaL here again that is.. :)
I thought 4am was a normal working time for us computer freaks?
Thanks for the info. One tip for C&T when you speak to them again:
FIRST arrange the licensing, THEN start to program. Not much use
spending years on building cars and tracks, and then not getting the
licensing arranged..
Whoopy :)

Not for me anymore; I'm getting too old. ;-)
Although yesterday was 2:30am, cleaning up some 3rd party's bug. That
was pretty bad too.
Doesn't seem to work like that. Licenses ofcourse take money, and you
can't really buy the license *now* for over 3 years (or at least that
seems very scary). Besides, that puts a deadline up. Notice a
Chris-West post from that Google search yesterday (or was it 2 days
ago?); he seems to have started at around april '99. Add 3 years...
oops! :)
Anyway, car companies can retreat while you think you have a verbal
deal for the future. So the Wests just have a couple of cars lying
around, but they won't be released unless licensed. Tracks are more
work, so more important anyway, I think. And ofcourse, programming.
For me, I'd also buy v0.8 if it was there, a bit incomplete.
