We'll have to ask them to "ship" heads to ISI for their future titles also
:)
So hmmm, I wonder if they'll have correct drag coefficient for heads on
open-cockpit cars depending on the head size ;-P

No, it won't be that bad. After all, WSC is not GPL.....

The Amiga sims (I remember them well!) run and look far better on the Amiga
than the equivalent PC game does on the PC. For example, the original Amiga
GP1 looks great.....so does Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe. But the PC
version, with 16 colour VGA, is woeful!
Yep, the Amiga could certainly have been THE *** platform....if only.
