Hi Folks!

Can't find the simbin forum anymore (heard they're going commercial?)
Will the superb F1 1977 Mod (for F1 2002 ?) be continued?

If you don't know what I'm talking about please have a look at these
awesome F1 1977 wip pics

   Simbin is going commercial.  And since they now are in business to make
money, they can't be giving things away, and they can't be taking time off
from whatever their money-making project is to release a free mod.

OK - I would pay for F1 1977. So why will especially F1 1977 not be
done?

   We don't know what Simbin is going to release yet.  They have not made
any announcements...but they HAVE signed a contract with the Henrik Roo's
Viper Team of the FIA league so one would 'guess' the first project will be
a more indepth FIA GT sim.   Again that is only supposition.  Until they do
make an announcent, we are all just guessing.  
  I suspect the 1977 mod has been shelved, not due to lack of interest, but
whatever project they have takes all their time.

Perhaps the '1977' stuff could be domated to the RL guys... [...gets coat...
runs away... quite fast...]
